Building Trust

IMPORTANT FOR US ALL! 

Make No Assumptions.    (BE OPEN.)

Keep Your Agreements.   (BE CONSISTENT)

Take Nothing Personally. (BE FORGIVING.) 

Always Give Your Best.    (BE RESPONSIBLE.)


Affirmations:

I trust myself to do my very best.

The more I trust myself, the more I trust others.

The more I trust myself, the more others trust me.

The more I trust myself, the more others trust themselves and trust others.


Building Trust


Without trust, there is doubt.

Without trust, there is insecurity.

Without trust, we don’t feel safe.

Without trust, we feel separate and alone.


When partners don’t trust one another, they feel anxious.

When children don’t trust their parents, they feel confused and afraid.

When people don’t trust, they feel vigilant, suspicious and on guard.

When nations don’t trust, they feel defensive, protective and threatened.


Treating others with feelings of distrust creates more distrust.

When we act defensive and demanding, others feel more distrusting.

When parents and partners are constantly on guard and angry, others feel distrusted.

When we question, withdraw, avoid, behave in unloving ways, distrust is reinforced and increased.


We must learn to trust ourselves by being consistent.

We must live in integrity by keeping our word.

We must do what we say and say what we are going to do.

And when we change our mind, our plans, our lives, we must be upfront and communicate clearly.


Children learn to be distrusting when parents are volatile, addicted, inconsistent with words and actions.

Children have a reason to be distrusting when parents are absent, negligent and inconsistent emotionally.

Children fear trusting their parents when they have been confused, abused and used.

Children long for a safe place which they can count on for the long haul.


Parents who behave in emotional, erratic and immature ways cannot be trusted.

Children learn to trust they cannot count on parents for anything, which creates great anxiety and depression.

One of the more self protective ways to deal with untrustworthy adults is to be angry and act out fears.

When we can use our energy to effect change and get others to listen, we begin to gain feelings of power.


To trust our world, trust authority figures, trust there is something to trust, we must have consistency.

To rebuild trust in families, there must be routine and regular schedules.

What is promised must be given and done on a regular basis.

Anxiety is most easily calmed with consistent meals, bedtime, activities and togetherness.


Uncertainty causes anxiety.

Inconsistency creates uncertainty.

Fear causes both acting out and withdrawal. (Anxiety, anger and depression.)

Constant change creates either a need to control or give up.


Parents, employers, leaders and authority figures must be reliable and accountable to be trusted.

When authority figures are principle-centered, others experience consistent communication and learn to trust.

When our world feels stable, secure and safe, children and adults feel peaceful, calm and trusting.

When our environment feels unstable, insecure and unsafe, people feel anxious, angry or depressed. 


It is time to create a safe world for ourselves and others.

It is our choice to build trust for ourselves and others.

We can make better choices of principles, people, places and priorities.

Each one of us is responsible for the safety, security and sanity in our own domain.


Let us rebuild trust one day at a time.

Loving and trusting we can just do it!

I am here to help. 

I am here to listen. 

I am here to provide a safe place.

I am here.

Feelings You Choose

YOU CAN CHOOSE TO FEEL GOOD!

PRACTICE DAILY.


Affirmations:

I love myself for feeling Good.

I forgive myself quickly when I think, speak or act negatively.

I easily change my focus on negativity.

I totally love and appreciate how happy, loving and positive I feel.


Feelings You Choose


How you feel is a product of your thoughts.

How you think comes from what you judge.

How you judge is determined by what you believe.

What you believe comes from what you have learned.


Thoughts, judgments, beliefs and learning all interweave and create the experience you give yourself.

To feel good, you need to experience Good.

To have Good experiences, you need to think, judge, believe and learn what is Good.

When Goodness comes only with special conditions, you will have a comparative mind.


When we hold only Goodness in our consciousness, we see, feel and believe in Goodness.

When we hold negative  thoughts in our mind, we see, feel and believe in what feels bad.

What we hold in our conscious mind, will be what we seek and find.

When we look for how we feel, we often seek out what feels bad rather than what feels Good.


To change your feelings from bad to Good, experiment with seeking for Goodness and Blessings.

Change your attention and focus to all things positive and good for you.

Actually seek what you like, what you prefer, what you want and spend time feeling grateful.

Begin to experience you have a choice in what you experience.


We all can watch the news and experience sorrow, fear, regret and frustration.

We may find it difficult in media to find Good news, so translate what you see into potential for Good.

We may need to purposely read Good news and associate with positive company.

We may want to treat ourselves well everyday with what we think and do and say.


When we are conscious, we learn to give ourselves what is Good for us.

When we want to feel Good, we can make different choices and choose to be grateful.

When we want to share Goodness with others, we will clear the field of negativity.

When we have a Good day, we see how we can begin and end our day with gratitude and joy.


Some keys to feeling Good:

Stop complaining.

Start appreciating.

Get enough sleep.

Observe nature’s beauty.

Make time to laugh.

Spend time alone.

Reflect on the Good in your life.

Breathe fully and freely.

Eat well when relaxed.

Use media for entertainment.

Show appreciation to others.

Forgive all regrets and resentments.

Develop the habit of smiling.

Think Good, see Good, hear Good, speak Good and you will feel Good.

Live well for Goodness sake.


It feels Good to love you and me, too!

What Matters To You?

YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

WHAT YOU THINK, SAY AND DO MATTERS.


Affirmations:

I choose the best I know.

I awaken with gratitude for having choice.

I choose what matters to me with joy.

I respect the thoughts, words and activities I choose.


What Matters to You?


“If you don’t mind, it won’t matter.”?

Where you judge, matters.

What you choose, matters.

How you live, matters.

When you speak, matters.

Who you love, matters.

What you give time and energy to, matters.

How your life works, matters.

What you do with money, matters.

What you think about, matters.


You are giving your life energy to what matters to you.

Whether you know it or not, your life is telling on you.

You have what matters to you.

What you care about matters to you.


To simplify your foci for attention, choose five qualities or experiences that matter most to you.

Begin to live as though these areas matter most and watch them thrive and expand with success.

Observe everyday how what you think and do and say support what matters most to you.

Focus positive proactive energy on what matters to you.


If money matter most, then give it conscious attention and consideration every day.

When friends matter most to you, give them attention with positive thoughts, words and activities.

When your health matters most to you, make sure all that you ingest and do support your health.

When your home matters most to you, make sure it is clean, organized and harmonious daily.


Life is a canvas on which we are creating what matters to us.

When we don’t like what we see, it is because we have put it there unconsciously.

To change what we see and experience, we must erase and delete and choose again for what matters to us.

Life requires us to consciously choose what we want to see and experience because it matters to us.


When we find ourselves in trouble, we can focus on the trouble or be grateful for the peace.

When we find ourselves in sickness, we can worry about lack of health or we can enjoy being alive.

When we feel like victims of our situation, we can succumb to the pain or rise up in faith.

When we are lost in financial struggle, we can be angry and resentful or appreciate how much we have.


When we realize our focus creates our experience, we learn to focus solely on what we choose.

When we realize our thoughts and words create, we clear the unconscious thoughts with conscious choice.

When we recognize we are here to learn to create our reality, we stop allowing others to create for us.

When we step away, forgive what is NOT and choose what IS, we see we can stand up for ourselves.


Life is best played with full consciousness and conscience, responsibility and respect, for what it is.

Be grateful it is so.

Forgive mistakes as opportunities to learn.

Choose again quickly and easily for what you really want to be.


You matter to me.

These Loving Reminders matter.

Your health and happiness matters.

All I give makes a difference, because we all matter.


Loving us all,

Betty Lue
