You just have to remember…

My child is a sponge. Today I thought it was kind of funny that he was reciting affirmations from Deepak Chopra’s Soul of Healing Meditations. 

“A is for acceptance. Today I will realize that I am a beautiful person just as I am. “

When I plug my iPod into my car, it starts playing things in alphabetical order so we hear A is for acceptance a lot! I just thought it was kind of funny that people pay such good money for programs like the Soul of Healing Meditations, readings, spiritual gurus because we seem to have forgotten how awesome and wonderful we are due to the beliefs and social programming we accept as truth about ourselves. 

Putting it in context with my little one: I’m always telling him how amazing he is and that he can do anything he wants, and how loved he is. When do we make that shift where we forget how loved we are and how worthy of love we are? When do we forget that we are enough?

When do we stop accepting ourselves for who we are? Why do we do that?

Now we pay money as adults to be reprogrammed by affirmations. 

Don’t get me wrong: affirmations are great and I use them a lot, but hearing my three year old recite one today just got me thinking. 

Remember how awesome you are. Remember how loved you are. 

Remember you are worthy of love. Remember you are worth the struggle. Remember that you are the co-creator of your existence. Remember that you are perfect. 

You’ve known it all along. 

Today, I will nourish someone with light

I was listening to Deepak Chopra’s Soul of Healing Affirmations today and Giving really spoke to me. I’ve been negative lately and I have been thinking about how to change my outlook back to the positive. 

I thought that this was powerful. There are probably a lot of people who are sending me loving thoughts often, and even if they aren’t, I can draw on the love and support of the universe, and I can pay it forward and contribute. 

Feel an impulse of loving awareness and make it a gift. Send your impulse of love to someone in need. It can be a person you already love, or all people in the world and then let it go. Your gift will be received in the spiritual bank where light is gathered. 

Tonight, I am going to send good loving thoughts to people I love and get myself back in a positive headspace. 

Meditation has also helped. I did a higher self meditation guided by The Honest Guys. Just taking a few minutes to center yourself and observe your breath really makes a difference.
