We encourage and expand where we activate the energy.

Our enjoyment is the indicator of what we desire to fuel.

Stop Hurting!

Affirmations:

I forgive myself for hurting anyone with fearful words or action.

I choose to find and practice a better way in all my relationships.

I choose to stop doing harm with words or actions.

I commit to teach others by my kindness and compassion.

Stop Hurting YourSelf!

Stop the hurting!

Just because you may have been hurt, doesn't mean it is ok.

Just because you feel hurt by another, doesn't mean you need to hurt back.

Just because you thought is would relieve your pain, stop hurting others.

Attack only begets more attack.

Hurt causes more continuing hurt.

Stop and give yourself time to think.

Stop and be aware of what you do.

Recently I became aware.

I didn’t know………………

Grown ups often scare and hurt their children.

Adults hit, throw things, tantrum violently and scare their children.

I didn’t realize ……………….

Adults think it is ok to throw things.

Adults believe it doesn’t do harm to swear, threaten, scare, and hurt their families.

Adults actually think it is normal to act out like a two year old.

When will they learn?

When will parents realize the harm they do?

When will we all grow up and stop abusive behavior?

When will we understand scaring and hurting only causes more of the same?

Bullying parents create bullying children.

The strong hurt the weak as animals, adult and kids.

When there is no bullying at home, it will not occur in schools.

When there is an end to hurting and scaring in families, the world will become safer for all.

How can it be we have not learned self-control?

How come we keep on doing harm to one another?

How can we not see that hurtful word are damaging?

What causes us as a society to threaten, scare, hurt one another?

We can try to pretend it is OK to do harm since we experienced it as children.

We can try to justify it with “I don’t know how to get my children to obey.”

We can excuse our childish behavior with “being tired, drunk, angry, or feeling disrespected”.

How ignorant is it to excuse physical or psychological punishment because we don't know another way?

Let us commit to grow up and control ourselves.

Let us agree to never hurt another again.

Let us stop doing what we know is ignorant.

Let us forgive our past experiences and find a better way.

If this Reminder is for you, forgive your ignorance and choose again.

We can end all fear and violence by changing ourselves.

Love yourself and others with Love.

“Do Unto Others What You Want Done Unto You.”

Trusting you with peace in our families.

How To Love Yourself

1. STOP ALL CRITICISM

Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.


2. DON’T SCARE YOURSELF

Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It’s a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure (mine is yellow roses), and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.


3. BE GENTLE AND KIND AND PATIENT

Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved.


4. PRAISE YOURSELF

 Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing.


5. BE KIND TO YOUR MIND

 Self hatred is only hating your own thoughts. Don’t hate yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts.


6. SUPPORT YOURSELF

 Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.


7. BE LOVING TO YOUR NEGATIVES

 Acknowledge that you created them to fulfill a need. Now you are finding new, positive ways to fulfill those needs. So, lovingly release the old negative patterns.


8. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY

 Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and revere the temple you live in.


9. MIRROR WORK

 Look into your eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself looking into the mirror. Talk to your parents looking into the mirror. Forgive them too. At least once a day say: “I love you, I really love you!”


10. LOVE YOURSELF...DO IT NOW

Don’t wait until you get well, or lose the weight, or get the new job, or the new relationship. Begin now, and do the best you can.

Our life is flow and flow is both letting go and receiving.

The flow of life energy in us and through us is enlivening.

The opportunity to share what we have is an unlimited gift.

Every breath we take is breathing with all that is.

Every walk we take is enlivening us and all.

Every song we sing is singing with everyone.

When we learn we are part of everything, we are inspired.

When you are inspired, your life is an inspiration for others.

When you are learning, you are inspiring everyone to learn.

When you are healing, your healing is healing for all.

When you are giving, you inspire others to give.

It is in our realization of who we are that we are inspired.

It is in our awakening to our desire to make a difference, that we are inspired.

It is in our discovery that we have unlimited value, that we are our inspired.

We stay inspired by being fully alive and realizing the gift we are.

Without you, we would be incomplete.

You matter…. your works, your imagining, your actions all make a differing.

When you live with inspired consciousness, you are the inspiration you seek.

When you allow love in, you know you are the One You Seek.

Let us all stay inspired to inspire one another.

Loving you,

Betty Lue

Choose a friend, a counselor, a gentle person whose life you admire to inspire you.

Are you using the resources you have for being, doing and having good in your life?

Look at your expenditures of time, energy and money to ensure they are doing good for you.

Are you really willing to give your life the best you have for the sake of loving you?

Remember this is your life to be lived with joy and appreciation every day of the year.

The way you make the most of your life is to begin with loving you.

You may not know how to begin, but start today one step at a time.

Enjoy the words you say and feel them really valuing you.

Your job is to discern the truth that leads to safety and calm.

Your listening will see beneath what is angry and wrong.

The ideas and help will show you what voice coming through you.

You are looking only what is healing and loving and helpful to you.

So listen to what is right and good and true.

This comes from the real love with you.

Be willing to follow what is kind and good to you.

Love shows the way to follow every day.

Always beside you, Love will always guide you.

And I am with you.

Above all, let us simply remember to love.
