Appreciate every day and feel better

Some days, with things happening around us, we tend to focus on the negative situations, loss, etc.  In order to change our lives, we need to appreciate what we have.  When it is the toughest, we need to step up and DO IT!

There IS SOMETHING you can be thankful for.  Your bed, your kids, your drink of water, the birds singing, the sunny day, look around and focus on something that will make you FEEL GOOD.  Once you feel good, other FEEL GOOD feelings will come, trust me, it works!

Think of one of your favorite places.....go on close your eyes and remember an event or place that made you feel wonderful and relaxed.....and thankful.  Sit quietly and do this everytime your mind wanders to your problems.....keep at it, pull  yourself up and out and you will create a better life. 

What do YOU want ?  Picture how you will FEEL when you have it?  A great relationship?  (You are laughing and loving)

Peace?  (you are sitting reading a great novel with your pet by your side)

Career? (You are loving going to your job)

Keep it up!  God Bless

 

Help! Forgiveness for infedelity....and working through it

Whether a true physical and or emotional infedelity has occured or is suspected, forgiving and trusting a partner again goes though many stages.  With a partner it is especially difficult because of the strong emotional feelings attached to your love for this person.  Most or all of these emotions are based in fear.  Fear of loss, fear of being made a fool of, being humiliated, fear that someone you have been intimate with is rejecting you, that you were or are not good enough and lastly fear it will happen again.

First, you need to intellectually decide if you want the relationship to continue or end.  If you want it to continue, a helpful way to cope and move through the stages is setting down ground rules.  Both partners need to truly want the relationship.
The ground rules are:  (and there may be more, depending on each situation)
1-The partner who is accused or has had the infedelity must agree to be patient.  Slip ups and breakdowns on the hurt parties behalf are inevitable.  Let them have the feelings but pull them back out with a hug and reassurances.
2-Open communication is critical about the situation/emotions and feelings.
3-Everything needs to be disclosed so there are no suprises.
4-The accused should be reassuring the other on a consistant basis by words and actions.  Each couple can decide what this means.  Examples are:  compliments, hugs, sharing where they are at all times, who they are talking with on the phone, emailing etc.
5-The person who feels they have been cheated on needs the courage to take A LEAP OF FAITH and stay inthe present moment.  That is one of the biggest challenges, not to look backwards and feel the hurt and look for more.  See yourself and your partner together and visualize the relationship you want.  Say things like "I feel connected and loved by _____ and this experience is making us stronger as a couple."
6- Prayer daily to God (or your universe, higher power) to help you let go of the fear, pain and destructive thoughts.  Pray for you to let it go and move on to your better life with lessons learned to become who you should be.

Forgiveness Stories

Forgive yourself - ENOUGH!

I was sitting at the very front, top deck of a cruise ship, feeling the wind on my face, sitting indian style.  It was as if the joy of the moment was forcing out my past hurts and beliefs about myself!  It was a purging I had never felt before.  My head was full of "not good enoughs":  Not thin enough, pretty enough, successful enough, and on and on.  When I realized, here I am on a glorious sunny day, the balmy ocean breeze rustling through my hair....What's going on?

In that moment, I realized, I had taken on the beliefs of "not enough" because  someone in a past relationship had told me that!  Wow....Why would I want to believe THAT? 

I closed my eyes and focused deeply on my breath and felt all the "not enoughs" gently float to the top of my head and out - released and gone.  I am MORE than enough, I am magnificently enough!  It is a liberating, wonderful feeling to not feel like you need to live up to someone else's idea of enough! 

God Bless - Lisa
