Affirmations:
I choose to be happy with myself.
I free myself from complaining and blaming.
I love myself and treat myself with kindness and respect.
I let go and allow all Good into my mind and my life.
(Personal Notes below from Betty Lue)
Blues or Celebration?
I
wonder what you do after Christmas.
Do you clean
house or pay bills?
Do you get right
back to work?
Do you relax from
all the busyness?
This
year I finish up what needs attention.
I clean house, inner
and outer.
I get ready for a
new year of inspiration and joy.
I prepare myself
with gratitude for life.
What
do you need to forgive?
What is still an
issue or problem?
Are you complaining
and draining yourself?
Are you up for
simply being grateful?
Life
is a process of learning from experience.
When we blame others
or ourselves, our learning is delayed.
When we release our
judgments, we can see more clearly.
When we are stuck in
victimization, we sit longer in fear.
We
can review what was and relinquish all fear, judgment and attack.
We can take an
honest look at what we could and would do better.
We can clean up
messes and incomplete communication.
We can open our
minds and hearts to new loving possibilities.
We
can take responsibility for creating our own life experience.
Whatever we go
through, we can wish didn’t happen or learn .
Whatever we choose,
we can judge could have been different or accept.
Wherever we go, we
can make wrong or see the intrinsic value.
The
more we recognize we can change our minds, we feel free to experiment.
The more we are open
to learning from whatever is, we feel affirmed and wiser.
The more we release
our negative view or judgments, we can see the blessings.
The more we know we
can always forgive ourselves and choose again, we feel grateful and at peace.
Lets
take our own inventory.
Look for what you do
have.
Let us see what is
working for us.
Let us appreciate
those people, places and experiences we balue.
We
are at choice.
Healing our attitude
is key to feeling Joy.
Undoing our own
negative thoughts is essential for Celebration.
Appreciating now and
looking forward to the future is our New Years Gift to Ourselves.
Loving
us all, everyone.
