Free Your Self To BE!

Affirmations:
I free myself to fully Be Who I AM.
I free others to freely be Who they are
I am grateful for the diversity and unique expression in everyone.
I trust and allow myself to be a safe place for each to be authentic, creative and REAL.

What can you do to free yourself to be fully you?
What holds you back from being truly authentic?
How do you keep yourself in check in your live?
What rules to you live by and whose approval do you seek?

There are many teachings and beliefs we learn early in life?
We listen to parents and teachers and what gets their approval.
We observe what works and what doesn’t work in the world.
We are programmed to be externally referring in our choices.

Does this please my parent, teachers and friends?
Will I get ahead by talking and behaving this way?
Do I fit with the people around me and how they act?
Do my actions, language and choices conform to what is popular?

People do not spend quality time with others, learning their values and beliefs.
It seems that most people pay attention to others via media, texting, face book, etc.
It seems that young people admire those in public view and follow their lead
It seems that ‘getting along’, following and belonging are among the highest values.

Where have the leaders gone?
Where are those who speak up for the rights of others?
Where is authenticity, originality and new thought?
Where are those who express themselves creatively?

If you are one who doesn’t follow the crowd, appreciate yourself!
If you are someone who expresses your truth without offense to others, value yourself!
If you are among those who lead others to do good and create good, enjoy your part!
If you are true to you and give always and only your best, count yourself blessed!

What you can do to free yourself is listen to what feels right and true for you.
What you can do to free yourself is to pay attention to when it feels wrong and stop!
What you can do to free yourself is listen to your heart, your conscience and inner guide..
What you can do to free yourself is forgive every mistake, yours and others, immediately.

You see we are easily tamed and changed and delayed by the criticism we have learned.
People often fear being wrong and so don’t even step out of the learned boxes of society.
We may fear judgment, being shamed , rejected and humiliated by others .
People learn to let others lead and then blame them for their own lack of leadership

If you feel safe by conforming and following what others do, you hold back..
If you still try to please and get others approval, we will do what they want you to do.
If you think playing it safe is the best way to live, you will hide your inner light.
If you wait until another goes forth , you may miss your time to shine and share.

Time to be free and see All that You Can Be,

If it Isn’t Working, STOP!

Affirmations:
I quickly stop doing whatever is not for the best of all.
I easily forgive and release whatever is not loving and kind.
I quit thinking, saying and doing what is not helpful and well-intentioned.
I stop and center myself with the best I know in mind.
  
If you life isn’t working, STOP!
If your relationships aren’t working, STOP!
If your money isn’t working, STOP!
If your health isn’t working, STOP!

Stop doing the same things you have always done, expecting a different result.
Stop thinking, speaking and behaving as you always have, believing this time it will be different.
Stop making up that somehow someone out there will show you a better way.
Stop judging, blaming, criticizing someone else for what isn’t working for you.

We keep going, because our ego want to be right.
We keep doing the same thing, because we don’t want to be the problem.,
We keep choosing what is familiar believing that this time it will work.
We keep trying over and over falsely hoping for a change externally.

The purpose of stopping is take a time out to clear our thinking.
The purpose of stopping is not quitting, but stopping the ineffective methods.
The purpose of stopping is to break the cycle of insanity.
The purpose of stopping is to undo the dysfunctional reactive patterns.

Time outs are for parents to give themselves and the kids a chance to calm down and find our center.
Stepping away from an upset is time to reconnect with what is best for everyone.
Taking deep breaths clears the fear, drama, anger and emotional distortions.
Pausing for a walk, meditation, writing in a journal, forgiving and doing affirmations is to think clearly.

I recommend not talking when upset.
I recommend not express our hurtful feelings.
I recomment dumping toxic material in private.
I recommend clarifying your goal or intention.

When re reacti emotionally, we are seeking either to get others to help us or to give others our upset.
When others are calm, reasonable and able to be helpful, it works.
When others are upset, fearful, irrational or unable to helpful, nothing we do will work.
Often we simply spread the pain, fear, drama, unhappiness and lack of love to another.

Consider taking full responsibility.
Consider being the conscious one.
Consider making amends with I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you and Thank you.
Consider forgiving your self for making up the upsetting thoughts and feelings.

Life is the practice grounds for clearing the pain and fear, guilt and blame fro yourself and others.
Life is the place in which we can make ourselves safe to work our our own issues without hurting others.
Life is the experimental laboratory to stop ineffective means to solve a problem.
Life is the learning ground in which we openly discover what works and does not work.


Bless us each and all for observing, exploring and learning better ways.

Do What You Love!


Affirmations:
I love myself, the way I Am.
I love you, just as you are.
I love the work I do and joy of being with You.
When I Love, I am fulfilled with Joy and Peace and Creativity.
  
When you get stuck, do what you love.
When you are afraid, do what you love.
When you are confused, do what you love.
When you are in guilt, do what you love.

Living in love is our way to remember.
Living as love is our path to forgive.
Speaking with love is the best means to heal.
Behaving with Love is our journey home.

When we are resentful, we must do what feels loving.
When we act hurt, we must do what feels loving.
When we are argumentative, we must do what is loving.
When we are demanding, we must do what is loving.

Love stops the pain.
Love clears the darkness.
Love opens our vision.
Love brings the healing.

Make a list of what you love.
What do you love to do?
What do you love to receive?
What do you love to have?
What do you love to give?
What do you love to be?
What do you love to see?

Love is the way we listen with kindness.
Love is the way we talk with gratitude.
Love is the way we learn with ease.
Love is the way we heal with peace.

When I learn to Love, really love, I do not neglect or forget.
When I learn to Love, I do not blame or condemn.
When I learn to Love, I stop talking about you and learn to listen to you.
When I learn to Love, I no longer fear, but live with safety and trust

The only mistake we ever make is when we forget to Love.
I will never forsake you or forget you.
I will never deny your right to be happy and free.
I will stand by you with trust and freedom for who you are, as you learn to live in love.

Love is what we are here for!
Loving you, 
Betty Lue

Light, Light, More Light!

Summer Solstice is the time of the longest days and the greatest Light.
When there is more light, we may see more of our dark stuff.
When we see and judge the shadow, we may feel stuck, scared or depressed.
Whenever we have not forgiven and learned, erased the past with love, we may feel stuck.

Call in more light.
Call for more light in your mind.
Call for more delight in your perceptions.
Call for more light in your thoughts, words and behavior.

Many people seem to wallow in the darkness.
Often they even add to their pain.
They may become paralyzed or immobilized by what they believe.
These are times to get moving and do what works for you.

Consider taking time to turn up the awareness and heal what you see.
Take time to reveal what is troubling or hurting and then address it with compassion.
Give yourself the opportunity to see what is and let it go with your blessing.
What was, no longer is, until we reinstate it in our mind and body.

When we judge, we stop the flow and won’t let go.
When we fear, we close our minds and contract our bodies.
When we condemn, we damn our feelings and hold resentment and regret.
When we despair, we turn down the light and don’t see right or what can be.

Some find comfort in the dark.
Some seek seclusion in despair.
Some like chaos for its distraction.
Some just wait for the dawn.

Fixations are thoughts that get stuck in our mind.
To clear the fixations, shine a light on the middle of your forehead for a few moments.
Stand facing the sun or a lamp or imagine the light in your mind as you close your eyes.
When you see the Light within, the rest is erased in the light in which you see.

Imagine light in your mind.
Imagine light shining before you on your path.
Imagine light clearing the obstacles of fear and depression.
Imagine Light shining forth from your body, your mind and your heart.

When you begin to see the light within, you will see the light around you.
When you are willing to see the Light in your, you will see the light in others.
When you experience the delight in your Light, you will remember your inner Joy.
When you remember the way to be happy, you will choose happiness above all things.

Be willing to enlighten your mind
Be willing to enlighten your life.
Be willing to share your enlightenment with your world.
You will be changed in your choice to be enlightened.

Loving your Light, 
Betty Lue
