Get two pieces of paper to write on separately, a pen or pencil and a cup or bowl of water.

 You may play calming music as you go through this process. 

Write down all of the negative racial or personal things that have been said to you, take at least 2 minutes to do this. 

After writing these things down, look at it and then tear the paper up and place the pieces in the water. 

Take a deep breath, take another deep breath. 

It is all right of tears follow this part of the exercise.

Now take the other paper and write down all the positive things about yourself. Write at least 10 if not more. 

Roll this paper up like a scroll and put a ribbon around it. 

Put this paper in a box that you have decorated or that you have bought that is decorative and put it near a mirror, the first mirror that you use in the morning. When you wake up, unroll the paper each morning and make the positive statements. 

This is your important Soul work to regain your authentic self.
