Welcome!

Welcome to the Inspiration Academy; School of Dreams, UnEarthing The True You Program! This is the academy that expands your personality by focusing on the discovery of your unique expression, and increasing your self-awareness. The definition of identity is simply the art and awareness of being one’s self. And the expression of who you are, is special to say the least. You were created and formed for a purpose by our Creator. Along with that remember that he alone holds that definition of who you are, and there is nothing you can do to add to or take away from the value that he has already ascribed to you. You are a peculiar treasure, uniquely designed for God and by God. ?

U.T.T.Y (UnEarthing The True You) develops individuals byassistingthem in identifyingchasms in self awareness.Through this course you will upgrade your personal culture through new modals of learning that focus on your personal intelligences (the things you are innately good at) and your emotional capacity. U.T.T.Y will aid you in opening up to the greatness that already resides in you.

Allow this series of teachings to be a resource for you as you press in to your personal development.

We will provide professional references to terminology used throughout the series. Do feel free to use the vocabulary words and definitions in the back of the manual to assist you as you work the program as well.

Lighting the fire within!

We believe the passion to discover is like a fire that burnson the inside. So U.T.T.Y. willhelp to ignite that passion of selfdiscovery as you journey on to realize your unique expression.This program reveals how to recognize and harness the value that each individual brings to every facet of life.

U.T.T.Y. will also support the intentional development of healthy coping mechanisms that produce discipline and purpose.

Module 1 Personality Development

According to Insights Program Development Consultants,“Self awareness determines personal effectiveness and isthe foundation of excellence in any work environment.” This alone is the most essential component in the discovery of your unique expression. Firstwe will support you by drawing attention to you the value that you as an individual bring to the world around you. Followed by challenging you to explore who you are and understand you. 1

Module 2 Emotional Endurance

The next module is two parts.

Part oneis where we begin the process of soul mining which will center on emotional navigationand identifying pathways that are familiar and comfortable when emoting. (See vocabulary for word definitions.)

Part two you’ll learn to disengage from old emotive responses

and actualize the fortitude to properly and accurately access and maintain your emotions. We allpossess the power to lay down our emotions to get things accomplished. However, laying down your emotions instead of navigating through them is the opposite of what this program is designed to produce in you. Suppressing your emotions is NOT ruling them, but simply suppression. Possessing endurance in your emotions means you learn to navigate them and develop through adversity.

Functioning as your highest and strongest self, will be the reward of truly learning to navigate emotionally.In essence, you willlearn to cope healthily with whatever situations you are faced and operate at full capacitywhile you advance, despite the opposition. Remember the following….

“The greatest driver of success and cultivator of purpose, is.. adversity.”

Module 1)Week 1) Personality Development

Collaboration and Commitment

It’s very important to understand the collaboration between program staff and participant. As well as knowing what it means to commit to your own renewal process.

Collaboration defined is the act of working with someone to produce or create something.

Collaborating means that everyone involved does their part. For example,

U.T. T.Y. staff does their part by receiving you, answering your questions, offering support, being transparent and being present physically and mentally.

You as the participant do your part by working your program, by scheduling your personal sessions ( for individual learners), being present at U.T.T.Y. class, journaling your days, participating in activities, completing homework, meditating on your affirmations and staying focused to master all aspect of your personal development.

______

Commitment defined is the state or quality of being dedicated to something, ie a cause or activity.

U.T. T. Y. staff commits to do what is necessary to help you master all aspects of this program, and see you through it to the end. We commit to see you fulfill your dreams and be the best you can become via the program.

You as the participant must be committed to the process of working the program to completion and seeing the program through to the mastery of all its principles and practices. Bottomline you must be an active participant in your personal reformation.

The staff of U.T.T. Y. can NOT be more committed at developing YOU than you are, otherwise you will not see the results that you truly desire to see.

Meditation: I will do my part in the process and be committed, focused, and determined.

The steps in each participant’s process are broken down into activities and journal opswithin each week. These activities help target places where growth has stagnated and restoration is necessary. The journal ops make the connection of the activity real and personalize it so that its easy to assimilate. We will hit all aspects of the former culture of the participant to ensure that expansion is achieved and a new culture is able to be created. The activities once completed are their own activation for progress. Creativity is a major component of forward movement into a new culture of increased self awareness. As you upgrade your creative culture by exposing and expelling old setbacks to your growth, you then free up space to receive new information and activate healthy coping mechanisms.

This first activity is a simple one, but a 2 in 1 activity. Let’s go!

1.Grab your journal, and chronicle your feelings during this activity. Do not voice them, but describe them on paper. ( title the week if you haven’t already and write Journal Op # 1/ Activity #1 to keep your journal organized)

Activity #1 Forgiveness activation

2.Create a list of any and all individuals you are upset with, who have wronged you, or if not a person, the situations that have upset you. (write them here, we’ll come back to them.)

Your personality is how your unique expression of God is revealed

This part of you is very important, if for no other reason than it’s the essence of God in you conveyed to the world. It’s your unique expression of Him on display. You were created to fulfill a specific purpose to reach the world like only you can. Your creativity and your personality are a part of how that assignment is played out to all who are around you.

Love Languages:Expressions and Emotion

Now let’s understand you!Journal Op!

Here is a great place to journal. Jot down in your journal, “The relationship you have with God will show up in your relationships with those around you.” Then here in the workbook describe what you are feeling about where we are in the process of development.Don’t voice it, put it on paper.

______

Love Languages

Love Language: one of five separate expressions of affection; ie. words of affirmation, physical touch, gifts, acts of service, or quality time.

Everyone has a language that we process affection from those we are in relationship with.Let’s look into your love language, then dig into how to respond to others love language.

Which one of the following best describes how you preferlove communicated?

Spending Quality Time: Going to movies or staying home with the family.

Acts of Service: When someone picks up a duty for you.

Words of affirmation: Hearing ‘You’re the best!”

Touch: Hugs and Massages

Gifts: Cards, Flowers and Chocolates

Emotions

Love language connects to the hard drive of who we are, our emotions. Generally, we are not in touch with who we are emotionally. Meaning we do not know our own language or our triggers and therefore allow our emotions to make decisions for us.

Now, expressing affection often times takes us outside of ourselves. This type of expression requires us to put ourselves out there. When we truly love, we won’t mind going out of the way to show it.

It’s when we feel slighted by the one that claims to love us that our emotions drive us (if we let them) to respond in a fashion that does not reflect who we truly are. This generally happens when we do not know the love language of the one we are in relationship with, and therefore we respond inappropriately. 12

When wefeel deprived of affection, that’s when our inner comes to the outer. Which is why our inner health is vital and being emotionally stable of the utmost importance. The real question becomes, “do I know how to adequately navigate my emotional plane?” That translates to, “can I properly manage my emotions when people behave less than my expectations of them?” The answer, in many cases is no. Why?

Here are 3 reasons why we don’t properly manage our emotions when things don’t go our way.

1-Unreal expectations; we expected unreal results from someone or something that was not even set up to give the results that we were looking for.

2-Misappropriation of emotional stock; we place our emotional trust in stock we had not properly researched. We didn’t check to see what their back ground was. Or go even further what is their family history. How do they respond in every season of their life. (Happy, Sad, Excited, Angry, Forgiving, Loving, Horny or Distant etc.)

3-No home training; we had no one to model this type of behavior in front of us. Most of the time we grew up in a home where because our parent didn’t have a model, mom or dad were unstable emotionally and never learned to control their temper. All they ever showed you was “outburst”, never knowing that responding to negativity in that manner was dysfunctional.

Granted,there is no school that teaches you not to throw temper tantrums, that’s mom and dad’s job to teach you that. However, this can only be our excuse for so long. Once we become adults, we are now responsible to navigate our own existence properly. That means once you are an adult coming into full maturity the correct way, is on you. 1 Corinthians 13:11 talks about how while a child you act like one but becoming a man/woman you put away childish things. Once an adult we must take the initiative to GROW UP!

But think for a moment, when inappropriate responding isn’t neutralized correctly as a child, that child grows up to throw grown up sized temper tantrums that may look like, throwing things to release anger, destroying someone’s belongings to get their point across, or screaming in rage until they feel an emotional release.What? Are you two years old? Can you say, NOT O. K.!?It’s really a serious thing to think about. We will delve back in to this subject again as we move forward. This week our focus is love languages but we just wanted to wet your appetite with something extra,or at least something to spark a great topic of conversation later.It even gives you something to write about and to ponder on.

Declare: My emotions do not have a say in my life, they are not the boss of me!

Affirm! Here journal an affirmation for yourself, reminding you that “you, can master you!”

Responding to others love language…

The objective in reviewing our love languages, was to discover the way that we best receive affection, orthe way we best respond to affection. One thing to remember is, though you may receive affection a particular way, it doesn’t mean the one you seek to show affection to will receive it that same way. Its always best to study the one that you desire to be in relationship with, and learn their love language.
