Remembering Your Self

When we spend time each day remembering who we are and why we are, we stay awake.
When we give ourselves the gift of Self Awareness and Self Appreciation, we inspire ourselves.
When we consciously learn from everyone and everything, we benefit from all mistakes.
When we value our whole life, body, mind, spirit, relationships, finances and work, we grow.

This is Holy Week ( the week preceding Easter).
It is a healing week.
It is time to assess our whole life health.
Spring cleaning begins with ourselves, clearing away everything that does support our well being.

Take impeccable care of your mind.

Clear you unhappy, unkind thinking.
Take care of your physical vehicle.

Stop habits that diminish your vitality.

Take time to inspire and enthuse yourself.

Undo practices that depress and demotivate you.
Give attention to creating conscious healthy relationships.

Let go of relationships that drain you or distract you from purposeful living.

Be a good steward of all you have..time, energy and money.

Undo habits of spending resources on what no longer serves your best Self.
Work at what has purpose and meaning for you.

Stop working for money and start working to contribute and benefit others.

A life lived fully has balance and integrity.
A life lived well has Self Love, productive work and meaningful relationships.
A life lived with enthusiasm has contribution, creativity and enjoyment.
A life lived abundantly has generosity, openness and appreciation.

What would it take for you to let the old die and begin to really live well?
What do you need to let go of in order to live with integrity and balance?
What can you do today to begin to find your way to live, respecting and honoring You?
How can you remember everyday to love YOU really well?
 

Loving you and me with awareness, forgiveness and faith,
Betty Lue

You Are A Flower in the Garden of Life
If you would grow to be your best self
Be patient, not demanding
Accepting, not condemning
Nurturing, not withholding
Self-marveling, not belittling
Gently guiding, not pushing & punishing

For you are more sensitive than you know
Mankind is tough as war
Yet delicate as flowers
We can endure agonies
But we open fully only to warmth & light
And our need to grow is fragile as a fragrance
Dispersed by storms of will
To return only when those storms are still

So accept, respect,
Attend your sensitivity

A flower
Cannot be opened
With a hammer
