Why doubt yourself, punish yourself, be hard on yourself, or skimp on yourself Dear One, when you can believe in yourself, forgive yourself, have confidence in yourself or be generous with yourself instead?
You are the one choosing the thoughts that you think, the words that you speak, and the actions that you take – no one else.
So why not choose the supportive ones, the positive ones, the loving ones that make you feel good about yourself instead?
Sometime healing does not require a new herb, potion, tonic or pill Dear One. Sometimes it does not require a new way of thinking, moving, eating, or behaving. Sometimes it does not require a new mantra, meditation, massage or treatment. Sometimes it doesn’t even require compassion, understanding, insight or forgiveness.
Sometimes Dear One, the only thing that is required to heal, is rest.
So, before you go off in search of a new answer, a new technique, a new practice, a new method, a new plan for healing your body, for healing your mind, for healing your life, why not give resting a try first and see how you feel.
But you can’t punish yourself and step back into the flow at the same time.
You’re going to have to choose one or the other.
So what’s it going to be?
Making tough decisions is a part of life Dear One.
Living is choosing. You know this very well.
You are forced to make tough decisions everyday, and today is no different.
So there you have it.
Does this help to make your tough decision a little less so?
We hope so.
Anger is not a choice either.
Neither is resentment, guilt, hatred, doubt, insecurity, remorse, jealousy, lust, or despair.
They are all feelings.
And feelings do not dictate actions Dear One.
Your choices do.
The wait is over Dear One, the moment that you decide it is, the moment that you want it to be, the moment that you choose.
If your body is telling you that it needs some time off Dear One, take it.
Trust us when we tell you that you will be so much better off choosing to do so while the choice is still yours to make.
But this day can never be relived Dear One.
We are not encouraging you to live it carelessly, recklessly, or without thoughtful consideration of the consequences of your actions.
We are simply encouraging you to live it fully, completely and without fear.
You can never undo that which has been done Dear One.
Once you have had an experience, for better or for worse, it is yours forever.
And regardless of how deeply you wish it could be so, no amount of regret, guilt, remorse, anger, self-pity, self-loathing, sadness, or hatred is ever going to change that.
But that does not mean that there is nothing you can do about it.
At any moment that you choose Dear One, you can decide to change the way that you feel about it, change the way you think about it, change what it means to you, or change its significance or importance in your life.
And changing that, changes everything.
And success in this life is totally and completely determined by the amount of joy that you experience while living it.
We, they, everyone can see just how hard you have been working Dear One.
Are you successful yet?
