Let Go!

Affirmations:

I let go with honorable closure. ( See below how!!)

I release pettiness and let Love lead my life.

I say “good-bye” (“God be with Ye”) as I move on.

I free myself and others to trust ourselves to choose.

Have you said  “Good Bye”?

Have you hung on too long?

Have you been willing to let go?

Are you ready to surrender and give up?

Are you willing to allow the end to come?

Some stay too long.

Hanging on hurts and builds resentment.

Clinging to what was, limits what is to be.

Set yourself free to see what really can be yours.

The flow of life and health and happiness changes naturally.

When we long for feelings that we had, we may feel mad.

Wishing for what was may make us crazy and desperate.

Stay with what is right now and see if it still fits for you.

Be honest with yourself.

What is best for you is best for others.

You cannot turn the tide.

But you can take precaution when the tide turns.

Be awake and aware.

Be real and see what is true.

Do not pretend and close your eyes,

Be willing to take positive action.

Some leave too soon.

Leaving early may cause regret and sorrow.

All things change form.

Nothing stays the same.

Look again at what you have committed to.

Some relationships are forever.

Some are temporary.

Relationships help us discern what we really want.

We each deserve what is right and true for us.

When we have paid a debt, we can move on.

When we have healed our wounds, we can let go.

When we have taught and learned, we graduate.

Listen within to see what is true.

Clean up after yourself to the finish.

Leave no one hurting or lost in your leaving.

Make honorable closure in all relationships.

Life calls us to be respectful and responsible in all things.

Loving us all to allow the flow of trust and freedom in all things.

HONORABLE CLOSURE         

How do you complete a relationship, marriage, teaching-learning experience, job or friendship? 

How do you know you are really complete?

People may walk away without really finishing the healing work, because it is easier emotionally.   

People don’t know how to come to a truly peaceful place, where “good-bye” is “God be with You”. 

When we are complete, we are at peace and in love.  

We have no regrets, no resentments, no unhappy memories. 

Honorable closure acknowledges:

1)   the learning and growth received, 

2)   challenges and difficulties experienced, 

3)   appreciation of gifts and blessings, 

4)   forgiveness and amends made. 

**Acknowledge within your self and with the other person all that you have learned and how you have grown and benefited from the experience. 

**Honor and express the challenges and difficulties that occurred and perhaps were endured during the time together. 

**Offer your gratitude and appreciation to the other for the benefits you received.

**Share your forgiveness and/or make amends for those places of unconscious or conscious errors of omission or commission.  Often neither party is aware of what went unexpressed until the two have an opportunity to talk together.  This is very valuable when done with the conscious intention for a peaceful conclusion.  

**And lastly, give your full appreciation and blessings to those whom you are leaving.   

Honorable closure includes a face to face or heart to heart connection so that all parties have a full opportunity to express their piece of the whole. Incompletion is never one sided. If one party loses and is in grief neither person is at peace.   If you cannot complete in person, write out your thoughts and feeling respectfully and with gratitude.  

I am grateful I have learned…  

I am grateful I was challenged……

I am grateful to have regrets which I can apologize for and learn from.

I am grateful to see how much I have received and appreciate……..

Do your part when you part. 

When we complete a relationship, job, living situation with honor for all, we are free to choose again without being haunted by the past or unconsciously repeating the same patterns. 

 To move on, to create anew, to be fully inspired requires honorable closure.  Begin now!

Saying good-bye can be done with love, respect and profound gratitude and inner peace. Do it Now!

Caring For Yourself

Affirmations: 

I take impeccable care of my whole self.

I love my whole self by listening for what I need in every way.

I forgive my mistakes and unconsciousness.

I honor my intuition and inner guidance as I learn to follow what I know.

Do You Care For Yourself?

Do you take time each day just for you?

Do you have an idea of what works best for you?

Do you have the self discipline and motivation to follow through?

Are you able and willing to perfectly love you?

Life will be different when you love and respect you.

Relationships will be respectful when you are true to you.

Drama will end when you learn to take care of you first.

Creativity, resilience, consciousness and ease will come through.

When you play small, victim, at the effect of others, you diminish your power.

When you behave with immaturity, self pity, drama or tantrums, you lose respect.

When you speak with name-calling, hurtful words and attack, you feel guilty and foolish.

When you hurt ourselves with negative thoughts and resentful ideas, you weaken your self esteem.

In life, you may have learned to play and even believe you are needy, dependent, less than or weak.

In our relationships you may use the helpless and hopeless, nice guy image to get other’s help.

You may be attached to play the role of co dependent to get the love you want.

It is time to re-evaluate if the weak, poor-me role is working for you.

Time to make changes in how you think, speak and behave.

Time to recognize your inner dreams, preferences and unlimited potential.

You can change your mind and your life.

You can do the work, when you make yourself your priority.

Start with the basics.

Love, Respect and Appreciate Your Whole Self.

You are more than your body and how you look.

You are the sum total of thoughts and feeling, words and actions, home and finances, relationships and work. 

You are more than you can see and more than you know.

You are your beliefs and inspiration, your hopes and your dreams, your gifts and your talents.

You are all you create and contribute.

You are unlimited in power and in peace.

Practice forgiving all your mistakes, past, present and future.

Practice doing forgiveness of everyone and everything, including yourself everyday.

Practice care of body and mind with healthy food and sleep, healthy habits and relationships.

Practice remembering to love, trust, respect and appreciate yourself all day, everyday.

This is just the beginning….but without the foundation there will be emotional drama.

Without this foundation, there will blind sides and earthquakes.

Without giving yourself the best, you will forget and feel hurt and upset.

Without this you may neglect treating yourself and others with respect.

Time to Love YOU!

Your primary job is to take impeccable care of YOU.

When you give yourself the best, you life keeps getting better and better.

Let today be the beginning if you new life.

Loving the best for YOU,

Betty Lue

Keys to Health & Vitality 

NUTRITION

Ingest the best and forget the rest.  Take into your body, mind and spirit only that which supports, sustains and inspires the BEST in you.

 MOVEMENT

Life is flow. To move with the flow is healthy. To resist is stressful. Move with the natural inner movement physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc.

 BREATH

To breathe in (inhale) fully life energy, Spirit, Prana, inspiration, is to expand our awareness to open to an enlightened mind.  To exhale fully is to truly release what is no longer needed.

 TOUCH

Reaching out with Love and respect for each other opens our bodies and beings to trust in the gentleness we all deserve to experience.

 THOUGHT

Choose for those thoughts which heal and free you to be unlimited in health and wholeness. Forgive (erase) the beliefs which are limiting or false.

 ATTITUDE

Carry with you an attitude of gratitude and love for yourself and others.  Allow yourself to see all things work together for good.

 BALANCE

Moderation in all things will bring your life into harmony.  As we give ourselves what is really best for us, the extremes are gently released.

What would I commit myself for regardless of the obstacles?

1

What was I born to do?

Where in life can I make a difference?

What unique opportunities have been placed in my path?

What specifically does God want me to do?

 Based on the answers above, develop a short paragraph outlining your purpose. Take the three top priorities from the four areas to which you just committed answers. Construct a statement that explains what you are beginning to sense in your purpose. This can be a work in progress. What is important is to commit to something in writing. Your purpose can be anything you want it to be and it can include anything that is important to you.

My Purpose Statement:

Reflection

I forgive all mistakes.

I use my words consciously.

I am sensitive to what is right and true and good.

Life Is A Reflection

Your life reflects your thoughts, words and actions.

Your relationships reflect your forgiveness, choice and gratitude.

Your energy reflects positive or negative thinking.

Your experiences demonstrate what we think, say and do.

How do we become a spotless mirror?

How do we choose to be conscious and conscientious?

How do we create a life that is filled with peace and joy?

Show up in your life and notice what is there.

Pay attention to what matters and what is good.

Speak with love, kindness and gratitude to everyone.

Let go with forgiveness to all that is not what you want.

Life is giving us feedback.

Life is a university of learning.

Life offers continuous opportunities to change.

Life opens our eyes to reveal what needs to be healed.

When we judge or avoid the teaching, lessons become more obvious.

When we condemn ourselves for mistakes, we get stuck in more mistakes.

When we learn quickly and easily, we heal and grow with ease and gentleness.

When we listen to our inner voice, we experience a fun, safe and easy life.

When we tell the same stories, we get stuck in the story.

When we relive the past, we remain in the past.

When we neglect to erase mistakes, they stay on the canvas of our lives.

When we glorify the hardships and struggles, we encourage more of the same.

We can tell what we retell, because they show up again and again.

Our words make things happen.

Our thoughts create themselves in experience.

Our actions tell the whole story to us and to others.

When we forgive, we undo what was untrue.

When we let go, we release what seemed to be.

When we erase, we see things differently.

When we delete, we cannot repeat what we thought was true.

We are here to write a new story.

We are here to sing a new song.

We are here to be clear and new again.

We are here to be a reflection of perfect and lasting Love, 

Betty Lue
