Respect Your Self

Respect and Appreciate All You Are, All you have, All you do and All You Give!
It seems that we are so much planning for the future or remembering our past, we forget to be here Now.
In the Now there is the full experience of what is with right perception and true appreciation.
When we truly loving ourselves and our lives just as they are, we can see the Goodness in what is.

Some practical reminders:

Appreciate the food
you prepare, making your salad and veggies with love.
Select the most colorful and wash them with appreciation of their gifts to you.
Cut and cook them with respect for the miracles of life from seed to your table.
Enjoy the textures, flavors and aromas of what you eat and bless it all.

Enjoy the weather.
Really watch and delight in the changing patterns of wind, warmth and light.
Enjoy the seasons and the color changes in different lights.
Smell the air and taste the water; Appreciate nature’s filter system of air and water.

Respect your mind and its amazing resources in remembering and forgetting.
The mind is our own inbuilt computer with files that can be erased.
It can solve our problems and lift us into alternate states during waking and sleeping dreams.
The mind can be easily washed clean with forgiveness and renewed with meditation.

Take care of your body and its ability to function for doing Good.
As your vehicle, you need to maintain it with the best fuel and conscientious care.
Make sure you are not abusing, confusing or misusing its resources and purpose.
Love your body with activities that keep it happy and on purpose.

Relationships that support, encourage and empower you are ways of Loving You.
Be respectful of those with whom you relate, never taking them for granted.
See each person as equally valuable and treat each one with kindness and gratitude.
Know you are making a difference with everyone you encounter by the example you set.

Use your finances, education and talents wisely, using them to benefit and bless all.
See what you have as a gift, appreciating their value and being a good manager of it all.
Appreciatate the value of sharing what you have with others in a way that does the most Good.
Squander nothing by letting it be hidden or giving where it is not wanted or valued.

Remember this is Your Life.
It is a Good life when you use it all for Good.
This is your opportunity to increase your blessings and expand your territory.
Respect what you have and Who You Are and Use it All wisely and well.

Loving you, 

Betty Lue

What you give with Love, gives Love to you.
You will never lack, when you share freely from your Abundance.
