We can become aware of our repeated thought patterns and then condemn ourselves for not changing our behavior fast enough. So many of us might feel impatient with ourselves.

“Hey I have been on a growth path for ___ number of years. Why am I still recycling this stuff!  (Implied) I must be a jerk!”

Please read on encourage the acceptance of your humanity, a better frame for what is going on with us as we notice our familiar upset states and inner dialogue. 

Edna’s Call for Help

“I am upset again. I know my addiction to politics explains why I continuously watch the depressing news about the election and what is coming. In addition, I made another move in real estate and this time I really think I did myself in. What I bought was such a mistake! Again, I have made things worse.

I call to get relief from a load of regret that burdens me,” declares, Edna

This protagonist does want relief and knows to seek it from Wise Counsel who offers soothing words and from Jin Shin Jyutsu, the art of harmonizing the being’s energy.

Wise Counsel begins:

“This prayer for you is popping into my mind: ‘Please Lord keep me in touch with my inherent self-confidence.’

As we increase our awareness, we each build our self-confidence.  As we live, we flow along processing our feelings, thoughts and actions. When we are awake, we are always growing—even when we may not discern signs of the expansion bit by bit.  Let’s acknowledge ourselves and breathe in the credit we deserve.

Importantly, all humans create patterns of thought. As we age we keep practicing some older ones even as we build new ones. People take time to change habits: Let’s realize this.

When we see ourselves in thought patterns we don’t prefer, again we gently reach for a new one.

We practice supporting ourselves and soothing the parts that get upset. Conjuring things like “I am doing my best. I am alive to my journey. I am partnered with Source Energy. Source Energy has my back.

Review of Big Picture

We notice what we don’t want in ourselves. We ask/pray for a change and then we align with the Forces of Good as we live our lives. As we accept features of ourselves, we enjoy the journey. “

Then Edna received a Jin Shin Jyutsu session. She breathed into feeling the hands on her body altering her state of being toward more acceptance and toward knowing that All is Well. With JSJ E could feel profoundly relaxed.

Have you a story to share about accepting yourself with more kindness and patience? We would all enjoying hearing them—a way to sink more deeply into our compassion for one another.
