Can we rise to the challenge of seeing the good when we look at ourselves and this dear world? We are so habituated into reporting on difficulties. In addition, some of us portray ourselves as a victim caricature or one who is weak and has so much to improve.
Reaching for Strength
As this tale begins Raffey is speaking with one of her favorite healers (Wise Counsel) by phone and is beginning an anticipated session. R starts with listing what is bothering her and what she wants.
R: I want to sleep better, to have more peace of mind, to let go of regret, to live with more faith. ( delivered with a tone of self doubt and misery)
As we discuss R’s story, let’s both notice the attitude of her remarks and observe her world view. Instead of seeing a steep uphill hike to some crumbs of improvement, let’s be much more empowered.
Wise Counsel speaks
WC: What would it look like if we Know that Well Being is Pouring Down, Around and Through right NOW?
We might sit up taller in our chairs. Realizing we are stronger than it might appear, we could visualize what we are already doing to achieve the goals we listed.
Isn’t it great that you are already well along on the path to the goals you list? Your healing and transforming is already underway. YAY!
Let’s acknowledge that progress. YAY!
A journey to make very significant changes in our behavior and attitudes requires many steps. Good to recall what the process of deep habit change looks like.
Yes, as we pay attention, we notice our habits more than we used to and we become aware of when we are off course. Isn’t it great to recognize the need to steer back to desired path.
We can report on these perceived “mistakes” as “Bad” or as “proof” we are doing something wrong. Instead, we can cheer ourselves on for perseverance and bits that are shifting.
Here are some things to appreciate in your story:
By some recent events, your journey has led you to have more free time, fewer unwanted commitments.
You have a family who values you greatly, contributes mightily to your life and with whom you share much.
What if we keep our expectations aligned with what it takes to change a habit—slow and steady.
Already we know Well Being Pours Down and Through.
Please remember Source Energy has our back.
Already we can know we can do this. This knowing is our faith. We are already living more by Faith. This goal happening NOW.
Fresh with the knowledge that life keeps evolving. We keep moving. We know that when we conjure and notice regret thought patterns in ourselves, we compassionately remind ourselves that our life keeps moving forward. “Regret” constitutes thought patterns are off track. In fact, You are already letting go of regret.
Your goals are already being achieved.
By reframing your mindset you feel better right off the bat.
Now let’s do some JSJ and harmonize the energy of your being.
R: You are right. I accept your points. And I do feel better already! This perspective is life saving and a major relief. Thanks so much!
Comments? Let’s accept our process to grow and love our dear selves and life journey.
