Disconnecting from our everyday routine ...

During our healing process, it "… helps to disconnect from our everyday routine and distractions. What is it that we love to do? Is it taking a walk? Sitting quietly? Working out? Listening to music? Jogging? Playing a sport? Taking a bath? Getting a massage? Reading a book? Even if it is only for 10 minutes, 3 times a week, when we set aside a bit of time for ourselves, we can separate from our daily distractions (Creating Love and Joy, p. 80)."

I can only imagine a wonderful weekend for each of us!! Hugs—tc

We begin the affirmation with...

"Another way we can remember the affirmations is to record them in our own voice and listen to them when we can. We can add a few of our own unique goals by recording our personal intentions as well. When we do so, we begin the affirmations with “I choose…” or “I am…” to propel us toward the relationships and experiences we are seeking. We avoid stating what we don’t want. Remember, wherever we focus our thoughts, that is what comes into our life. We visualize what we choose as if we are already living it right now (Creating Love and Joy, p. 79)."

Creating lasting change in our life....

"One of the most powerful ways that we can make permanent changes in our life is to take 10 minutes to read the 33 affirmations in Creating Love and Joy each day when we wake up in the morning and before we go to sleep at night. If our mind wanders to specific life instances as we read through them, we can simply replace any negative thoughts and feelings with pure loving light, and continue reading from where we left off. It is important to be gentle with ourselves. We are learning, we are learning, we are learning. If we review the affirmations at least once each day for 21 consecutive days, our subconscious begins to absorb our new perspective. We begin to see positive, joyful changes in our life (Creating Love and Joy, p. 79)."

Meeting my own needs...

"I trust that I am meeting my own needs, in the perfect manner, and in the perfect amount, at this moment. (Creating Love and Joy, p. 51)."

Rays of Sunshine Radiating Outward....

"I know that, like rays of sunshine radiating outward, we are all unified parts of a larger whole (Creating Love and Joy, p. 73)."

We reap what we sow...

"I trust that the universe is impartial, allowing each of us to experience the consequences of our unique thoughts, feelings, choices, and actions (Creating Love and Joy, p. 49)."

Simple concepts are often not so easy to implement. Think of the simple concept for making money in the stock market: “Buy low, sell high.” It’s not hard to understand. Well, then, why aren’t we all millionaires? Because implementing the concept is not easy.

“We reap what we sow” is also a simple concept. In varying language, this concept is at the base of almost all the world religions. Why is it, then, that even the most spiritual among us take actions against others that they certainly wouldn’t want coming back to them? Perhaps one reason is that employing this concept in EVERY aspect of daily life is not easy. It takes constant vigilance and determination.

Also, we sometimes forget that we have both conscious and SUBCONSCIOUS thoughts. Both influence our actions, feelings, and choices. We may be unaware of the underlying assumptions or judgments that we harbor in our subconscious belief system. When we can raise our subconscious beliefs to our conscious awareness, then we can make a free-will choice about whether or not we choose to continue to employ that belief. It’s important to be gentle with ourselves—we are learning, we are learning, we are learning.

Most people TRY to remove negative aspects of their life. To better understand how we get stuck in in this unproductive cycle, simply "try" to sit in your chair. You are neither standing or sitting, you are "trying" to sit. Your arms hold your body weight, your legs are bent, your backside is unsupported, and you find yourself uncomfortable in a short period of time. It is better to either sit or stand--and commit to it--than to "try" to sit down.
