Be Where You Are!

Affirmations:
I love myself just as I am.
I release what no longer support my Good.
I choose to easily and quickly let go of negative learning.
I am willing to live what and where is the highest and best for me.

Be Where You Are.

Where are you?
Until you know where you are, you cannot be there.
Are you aware of your thoughts and feelings?
Are you awake to who is present with you?

Do you see what is within you and around you?
Have you assessed your current state of mind and body?
Do you allow yourself to be aware and honest with yourself?
Are you alert to your limiting and faulty beliefs, opinions and prejudices?

We are all constantly creating with our thoughts, feelings, beliefs and prejudices.
Everything that is within is will be seen in some form outside us.
We are creating with our unconscious beliefs and fears, judgments and tears.
When we recognize where we are, we can begin to understand how the world seems to be.

To come home to One Self is the beginning of healing and revealing the Truth.
To understand that our judgments and criticisms are playing themselves on our movie screen is key.
To recognize our responsibility in our finances, health and relationships is the first step to transformation.
All things can be changed with a radical change of thought and feelings, focus and direction.

We create with our thoughts, words and behavior.
Our attitude colors our relationships and achievements.
Our affirmations, negative and positive, attract what we think and speak into our awareness.
We are choosing how our day will be from the thoughts and feelings we hold to be true.

What a relief it is to know we can change everything with our own change of mind.
What a responsibility it is to know we can totally change our experience by clearing what we don’t want.
What a joy it is to know we can do it ourselves.
What work it can be to know we can change what we perceive and how we respond.

This is the key to a fun, safe and easy life.
Where we are attached to be right and righteous about our point of view, we are stuck with it.
Where we erase our attachments to judge, blame and guilt, we can free ourselves to see differently.
We need to find safety, satisfaction and connection to feel peace, happiness and love.

1) Accept what is. + 2) Let go of what you want to release.+ 3) Let in what you really want.
First, we must allow and not repress.
Next, we forgive and release, step away and stop recreating the story.
And last, we are called to let in what we want to be our experience.

Our life journey is shaped by challenges, vulnerabilities and resources.
When we are willing to be with our selves, thoughts, beliefs and experiences, we have heal.
We learn to do what makes us feel better, think better and do better.
We learn to undo those habits which are hurtful and choose what is helpful.

Show up and pay attention.
Speak and detach.
Say and do what is yours to do.
Let go and enjoy.
Loving you,
Betty Lue

What Really Matters?

Affirmations:
I live true to myself.
I honor what I know to be highest and best for me.
I live with integrity all that I value.
I am fully responsible for the choices I make with wisdom and conscience.

What Matters to You?

What is important to you?
What is top priority?
What do you value the most in your life?
When we know what is important to us, we will align our life choices to support out values.

When people forget or neglect what they say they value, their lives are our of alignment.
When no in alignment, there is no focus, north star, sense of direction or purpose.
When off balance or not living our “true” values, we do not feel balanced or content.
There may be self doubt, lack of confidence, anxiety, vulnerability, frustration and upset.

When vigilant for what is important to us, we stay connected and attuned to our own truth.
When we have a principle-centered life, we are more present and purposeful with our choices.
When we are true to ourselves, because we know our values and goals and priorities, we are content.
We feel confident, secure, trusting, strong, and generally at peace and able to handle difficulties.

Life is a powerful teacher.
What  we learn from life is how to manage ourselves and our choices.
Our emotions show us where we have been forgetful or neglectful of our path and purpose.
When we are calm and capable of handling whatever comes our way, we are on the right track.

When irritated or upset, stop and ask yourself, “What really matters right now?”
When we are hurt and frightened, we can ask. “What is important to me right now?”
When we are lost and confused, we need to ask. “What is valuable to me right now?”
There is a place in use that can respond with integrity when we are willing to sincerely ask.

When we find our inner sanctum, quiet place within, we know we have our own guidance system.
When we are willing to let go of outer distraction and conflicted thinking, we have inner knowing.
When we stop the insanity of limiting beliefs and fear-based reactions, we have our own “truth”.
Some call this conscience or inner guidance or the Voice Within or Higher Self.

We can undo dysfunctional habits of reactive thinking and choose a higher way.
We can forgive our easy distractions and reliance on historical preferences and choose wisely.
We can release what is questionable advice from those who do not know and choose for ourselves.
We can seek our own truths, principles and values to live by daily in all circumstances.

Life has innumerable answers to every question.
People have their own advice about every problem.
Books give us a myriad of paths and solutions to follow.
We find peace when we live in alignment with our own highest truths.

Make your own conscious list of principles to hold yourself accountable.
Be clear with yourself about the guidelines you choose to follow.
Give yourself time to review and edit periodically.
Evaluate daily activities and choices to ensure you are supporting your principles, values and guidelines.

Life is a reflection of what matters to us.
Loving us all for choosing with conscientious conscience!

Ask and Receive!

Affirmations:
I always ask for the highest good of all.
I respect myself for taking care of my need to know.
My intention is to do what is the best for everyone.
I do not know what is in my own best interests.

Do You Ask?

When you have a need, do you ask?
When you need help, do you ask?
When you are doubtful, do you ask?
When you have a question, do you ask?

Some want to be independent and do it themselves.
Some are afraid of being criticized or shamed.
Some don’t want to feel weak or incapable.
Some don’t know what or how to ask.

Some don’t know who to ask for what the need.
Some don’t trust anyone has what they want.
Some feel they don’t deserve any help.
Some just don’t want anyone to know.

“Ask and you will receive.” is a truism.
When we don’t ask clearly and specifically, others will not know.
When we do ask, we often immediately receive the answer or help needed.
It seems asking opens us up to receive what we are requesting.

Staying in the silent need creates an emptiness and feelings of anxiety.
Opening to ask for what we want gives us a goal and gives others an opening to give.
When we seek and search and stay open to receive, we are motivated to find.
We find what we seek or are given what we ask for, it encourages more willingness to ask.

When you ask to be helpful, someone will come with a need to be filled.
When you ask for answers, there will be many who want to respond.
Whether  you ask to be left alone or hugged, there will be someone who is ready to respond.
We must learn to ask ourselves and others for what we really want.

Yes, people may not understand our request.
We may need to express ourselves simply and clearly.
We may need to wait for a response.
We may need to look for another answer or responder.

The key is to be hones, accurate and sincere in our asking.
When we support ourselves with asking for what we really want, it is likely we will know who to ask.
When we are really requesting the underlying need or question, it is more likely we will receive it.
We cannot expect others to second guess or mind read our needs.

When we hear “No” or “ I can’t”, we need to accept the response and ask again someone else.
When we do not receive what we are asking, we must learn to say ”Thank You” and accept it is their best.
Dismissing, criticizing or shaming another’ response will make it less likely to receive what we want.
It is important to trust both questioner and responder are doing their best at the time.

Be patient with your requests.
Be appreciative of all responses.
Be willing to ask again more clearly.
Be happy with yourself for asking for what you need and want.

Loving us all for learning to ask and respond with kindness and gratitude.
