Let Go and Love Again

RELEASE PAST HURT.

RETURN TO LOVE NOW.

Affirmations:

I live with love for my family and all humanity.

I release the need to hold judgments about others.

I am free of my past and choose love everyday.

I have learned past lessons and moved on.

Family Love

Love for family is not always easy.

There are lessons to be learned with family.

Familiarity does not always make it easy to love.

Family history can create regrets and resentment.

Family life may not be fun, safe or easy.

Memories may not be enjoyable or kind.

Communications may be strained or absent.

And still we are called to extend goodwill and love.

There may have been rejection or abandonment.

There may have been abuse and neglect.

There may continue to be judgment and comparison.

And still we are asked to forgive and forget.

What can you do to free yourself from the pain of the past?

What are you to do to let go of the hatred and bitterness?

What can you do to dump your own toxic waste?

What can you do to open yourself to kindness and respect?

Letting go of the past is easier than you might think.

Beginning to rise above the hurt and pain to begin again is essential.

Learning to erase the past with love sets you free to fully be alive.

Dumping the remnants and reminders is like taking out the stinking trash.

Families are made of people who each have their own lessons to learn.

Each person has their life history which they usually keep repeating.

We can become the person who feels and heals ourselves.

We can clean up our own garbage and maintain kind thoughts, respectful words and honorable behavior.

We can be the One we admire.

We can demonstrate a better way.

We can love no matter what.

We can forgive and choose again.

Forgiveness is the key to our own happiness.

Forgiving the past can release us to create our good future.

Relinquishing the hurtful stories can free us from re-wounding.

Dumping the trash of the past opens the way to our own rewarding life.

We may not need to do anything, but let go of our own pain.

We may not feel called to connect or communicate, but treat all with respect.

We can begin again right where we are to build the family we desire.

Release the past, change your attitude and begin again where you are.

Respecting you in living true to what is right and good and healthy for you.

Loving you,

ANYWAY

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; 

Forgive them anyway. 

If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; 

Be kind anyway

If you are successful, you will win some false friends 

and some true enemies; 

Succeed anyway. 

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; 

Be honest and frank anyway. 

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; 

Build anyway.                      

If you find serenity and happiness, there may be jealousy; 

Be happy anyway. 

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; 

Do good anyway. 

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; 

Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. 

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; 

It was never between you and them anyway.  

 Mother Theresa

Take Time To Breathe

RELEASE  BLOCKS TO LIVING.

BREATHE IN LIFE ENERGY FULLY.

Affirmations:

I breathe to be fully alive in love.

I allow breath to be a moment of full appreciation.

Breath is my affirmation of life.

I pause to consciously breathe to fully enjoy my life.

Take A Moment to Breathe

Life is moving quickly for most of us.

When we fill every moment, we may forget to breathe.

Not just the necessary breathing, but a long slow savoring breath.

Breathing fully and freely, deeply and enjoyably, is a blessing.

We are each breathing for all of us.

Each breath is connected with every other “breather”.

We are all breathing the life energy from all time.

We are taking in what is life giving and breathing out what is life affirming.

Slow deep breathing enlivens our bodies and refreshes our minds.

We are each choosing to breathe as much as we want.

There is a great sufficiency of air for all of us without denying anyone.

We purify the breath we are taking in, as we breathe out what is good for all.

The plants and trees are our friends, our co-creators, in the breathing business.

We give them what is life enhancing and they return the favor.

We are breathing in and out the goodness of life energy.

There is a reciprocity of life in all things we think and say and do.

Do you think about your life as having meaning and purpose and benefit to all?

Are you aware that your appreciation for what is within you and around you benefits you?

Do you understand that what you seek is both copied and responded to by the universe?

We are each here to choose to pause and reflect on our life and choose again to breathe.

Life is our story, our movie, our reflection and projection.

Life is the way we count the days and ways we give and take.

Life is the time in which we choose and refuse what we want.

Life is the gift of giving and creating the world in which we live.

When we take a moment to breathe, we pause to see what life is.

When we linger in each breath, we slow enough to feel what is real.

When we allow the transition from inspiration to expiration, we choose.

When we meditate on breathing, we come to the stillness within.

There are many breathing techniques in exercise, yoga, childbirth, meditation.

Breathing consciously is a natural tool for healing and self understanding.

Breathing slowly in rhythm releases pain, fear, judgment and brings peace.

This gift of life can teach us everything about ourselves and our life choices.

Pause and enjoy your breath.

You are living your life one breath at a time.

Life is worth enjoying.

Love YourSelf Well,
