You can no longer blame others for your decisions when you move back into self-love. Blaming others for making you do something you didn’t want to do – no longer works. You will realize that every decision you have ever made, both in the past and present, was made to make you feel safe. Or perhaps you made them, so you feel loved or give you a sense of peace. It is always your decision. When you are in self-love,…..
Don’t Believe Your Negative Ego. We all have a negative ego. Unfortunately, it is never our friend. It always lies and tells you it is the other person’s fault. They are the ones to blame. You did nothing wrong, and they must be punished for hurting you. Don’t believe your negative ego. It will take you away from the inner work you need to do to change and evolve. Stop looking for someone to give you what you need. When…..
What is an inner committee? When working on returning to self-love, you must look at and transmute your inner committee. What do I mean by inner committee? We all have an inner committee that we listen to consciously or unconsciously. It is the inner voices that can play non-stop, and unfortunately, they are usually very negative. So, it would help if you changed the inner voices – the negative ones – with the opposing voices. Let’s look at one we all…..
Reawaken your jubilance Your homework for this week is to reconnect to your jubilance. To reexperience rejoiceful and triumphant emotions and to express these emotions. The trick is to express the emotions – not just move past them like my friend did and move back into worry. Or, like me – do not squelch them down to give yourself a false sense of safety. Do not squech your jubilance I squelched my jubilant feelings down to keep my sister away from…..
What is Jubilance? Jubilance, or to be jubilant, means showing great joy, happiness, satisfaction, and feeling triumphant or rejoiceful. How many of us can say we have felt that way recently? I believe most of us had felt that way when we were children. Winning at a game – Thrilled when we did well on a test – rejoicing when we received an unexpected gift. It ignited our jubilance. A Friend could not embrace his jubilance. I had a friend…..
This week’s spiritual homework is to connect to what you want – to what you really want – not what you do not want! I have a friend who appears to be constantly in worry about receiving what he does not want. He can spend two to three days in this energy of worry and concern. I know his past, and he may be a bit addicted to the worry energy. It was how he was raised – seeing his…..
What is resilience, and why do we need it? Resilience is the ability to “Bounce Back” from difficult experiences. Resilience is a necessary trait in a well-rounded human being, and it is vital to grow and evolve. I have never met anyone who has not faced challenges or obstacles that must be overcome. We yell, shout, or cry when we first see the challenge or obstacle, but eventually, we roll up our sleeves and begin to work on removing the challenge……
This week’s spiritual homework is being affectionate with yourself You can change how you feel Some people have spent so many years degrading themselves that to suddenly be affectionate will feel strange or downright wrong. Some may even say I cannot change how I feel about myself. Well, I can say they are wrong. You can change whatever you want to change. I changed myself and how I felt about myself, the world, and the universe. I did the homework……
How is love described? Love is described in the dictionary as an intense feeling of deep affection. Now how is friendship described? Friendship is described as a state of enduring affection, esteem, intimacy, and trust between two people. Affection, esteem, intimacy, and trust. I think those words defiantly describe how I see love – at least for now. We look for others to show us affection, esteem or intimacy, or trust so that we know we are not as bad as our…..
Pets and Self-Love Our Pets teach us so much. This week’s inspiration is beings that greatly improve our lives – make our lives fuller and add so much love. This inspiration is our beloved pets. Our pets are vitally important in our growth as well. They teach us what unconditional love feels like. I believe that our pets are here for one reason – to love us – to love us unconditionally. It is the way the universe makes sure that we…..
