Can You Maintain What You Have?

Affirmations:
My life is balanced with work and play, creativity and rest.
I take impeccable care of myself with loving thoughts, grateful words, and helpful deeds.
I do what is mine to do.
I honor my inner voice and respect myself.
  
You have too much, when you cannot maintain is well.
You have too much, when it overwhelms you.
You have too much, when things are messy, dirty or broken.
You have too much, when it causes conflict or concern.

Life is easily maintained when we are clear about what works.
Life is easily managed when we have what we are able to care for it all well.
Life is in balance when we take impeccable care of ourselves.
Life is working when everything is in good working order.

If we are not taking care of what we have, we must let go.
If we are not taking care of ourselves, we have too much.
If we are not honoring our agreements, we have made too many.
If we are not living in integrity with our values, we are off purpose.

Much of our lives is about letting go and not accumulating more.
Much of our purpose in life is about finding what is true for us.
Much of our problems in life comes from have too many worries.
Much of our upsets, fears and worries is trying to control too many pieces.

It is valuable to clarify what is ours to do.
It is worthwhile to let go of the pettiness and focus on our highest values.
When we are doing our own calling and living in integrity, what we have takes care of itself.
When we are living with trust and freedom, non judgment and open-mindedness, life simply works.

I stop, listen and look again when it seems there may be a problem.
Every upset is a wakeup call.
Every worry is a lack of trust.
Every unhappiness is a speed bump.

Life plays its part as a clear reflection of where we have gotten off course.
When we pay attention we can see what is not “right” for us and choose again.
When we listen to our inner voice, our intuition or gut feelings, we know ahead of time.
When we neglect to pay attention or honor our inner sense, we experience an upset or block.

Maintaining your home allows you to receive any guest with honor.
Maintaining your car allows you to be available to any need or request.
Maintaining you family allows you to feel safe and secure in their love.
Maintaining your health allows you to trust in your body’s ability to support your life.

Maintain your job with dependable and responsible work.
Maintain your finances with adequate savings and responsible expenditures.
Maintain your relationships with respectful communication and kindness.
Maintain your freedom and trust with keeping your agreements with yourself and others.

 A Good Life requires that we be awake and responsible for all we have and who we are.

Loving us all together, co-creating a better world for everyone.
