This week’s inspiration is a clean slate. Now, that phrase became a part of our vernacular when we used to use chalk and slates to teach children in schools. You would wipe the board clean so that the next person could put the homework up on the board. We all need clean slates throughout our lives. We all make mistakes. We all do horrible things that we feel bad about, and we don’t need to be held back by what…..
When working on returning to self-love, it’s important to become light-hearted. Now, light-hearted is described as cheerful, hopeful, and enjoying your life, which is the whole point of self-love to enjoy your life. So become light-hearted and know that you being light-hearted may impact those around you or who are a little less than light-hearted. Light-heartedness means you have faith in the loving universe and that the universe is on your side and things will go your way eventually. So…..
When working on returning to self-love, you are going to embrace freedom. Now what do I mean by freedom? I mean freedom from your negative beliefs. Beliefs that keep you small and in a tiny box not allowing you to experience the grandness of this life. Freedom from the negative thoughts you have running in your head every day telling you that you’re not good enough – that you’re less than – that you’re miserable. Freedom from your inner wounds…..
When working on your way back to self-love, you’re going to have to decide that everything that happens in your life is for goodness. It is for your advantage. That life is in your favor, even if it looks dark as hell. You’re going to have to realize that this is in your favor and you’re going to have to roll up your sleeves and figure out what it’s here to teach you. Perhaps it’s teaching you to change some…..
When working on returning to self-love, you will begin to notice your patterns. We all have patterns that keep reappearing in our lives over and over again until they’re healed. For me, it was jealousy. I always had jealousy in my life. Someone was always angry and jealous of me until I went in and healed that wound. I took my power back from the energy patterns that kept reappearing until they were healed and transformed. They may have new…..
When working on returning to self-love, you’re going to have to look at your prejudices. Whether it’s towards other races, people who have a different language or religion, or perhaps they’re driving a different truck than you do. Time to look at your Prejudices. For instance, I did not have any particular racial prejudices, but I did have prejudices towards people who drove trucks with Confederate flags on the back. I did have prejudices against supposed rednecks. So I looked…..
When working on returning to self-love, you will have to pay attention to what you say to yourself and your friends. Now, I know a lot of people who do gratitude in the morning, or say their prayers, or do their affirmations. They do it for 15 minutes every morning. Then, spend the next 23 hours and 45 minutes complaining or being negative. And saying how the world is out to get them—living in negative energy. You cannot spend 15…..
When you’re working on returning to self-love, you may have to throw yourself a pity party. A pity party is when you allow yourself to feel sorry for yourself. We all have those feelings, but most of us shove them down because we were told not to have them. But in truth, if you are feeling sad about your life, feeling sad about what’s happening to you, it’s OK to throw yourself a pity party. You don’t need to make…..
When working on returning to self-love, you’ll have to look back at your life. You’ll have to look back at the things you thought you had healed or perhaps shoved down or moved past and realize you’ll have to bring them to the surface again. This time, we need to heal them with love and compassion. We all have things that happened to us when we were children. Most of the time, we shove them down or ignore them until…..
When working on returning to self-love, there is a point in your journey that you’re going to have to own your own inner demons. Now, what I mean by inner demons is, let’s say you’ve been working on the bully who’s been in your life. Who’s wounded you, and who you’ve called forth again and again and again? At some point, you’re going to have to look at your own inner bully. Or let’s say you’ve worked with jealousy in…..
