Be kind to yourself

When was the last time you truly noticed how you treat yourself? Listen to the words you use. Are you kind? Are you understanding? Do you accept, resist or reject what is happening? Do you get easily uptight? This is an invitation to care.

Open your heart.  Allow yourself to feel your way through the inner messages you are sending. What if every time you communicate to the world, you are actually inviting yourself to love more unconditionally? Laugh uncontrollably.

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” 

-Mother Teresa

Self sabotage, an issue I have had in the past and one that I try not to fall back into. Sometimes I win and sometimes i don’t, but I don't cry over spilt milk as there is always next time.

Liara,
Starting "within". There is something very beautiful about getting to know self. And in that, seeing the good in our uniqueness....

I am doing continuous attempt to be aware of the states I am observing, both external and internal. The underlying messages from the body, the thoughts, and the emotion has become clearer and clearer :)

Paige, self-awareness is a very powerful thing. To begin to see through certain of your personality traits makes you aware of what temporaily blocks the reality of your true oneness. Being open to change serves you.

Lance, to deepen self-discovery is to reconnect with aspects of true self. To feel true inner oneness is to move beyond ego.

Rizal, meditation practice is a means of increasing clarity. To keep universal interconnectedness in sight regardless of what we do enables us to expand to experience a pure and satisfying sense of being.

Hi Liara .. For a while now .. I have had to accept I can only do and be what I can and what I am .. and it has helped a great deal .. so that I don’t get uptight or agitated with all of it. I look after myself as best I can in the circumstances .. and will be grateful to learn more in due time and love myself more unconditionally .. Thank you - Hilary

Hilary, knowing you always do enough is reassuring. To raise self-awareness involves being honest about the underlying reasons for your choices. Every revelation is part of the awakening process.
