Honouring Your Feelings - Respecting Yourself

Happy Self Love Sunday! 

I can't say this enough: Honouring our feelings is imperative to living a beautiful life. If we ignore them or we don't speak our truth, then we aren't respecting ourselves.

Your feelings are important. 
Expressing our emotions releases energy and leaves room for positive energy to enter. 
This is your Soul Love Minute.

Demonstrating Love for Yourself

Happy Self Love Sunday! 
I'm back! 

What can you start doing today to demonstrate love for yourself?

We think love comes from outside ourselves and that, to feel worthy and validated, we have to seek love from others. 
Love for yourself is one of the most important things as it can spill over and out into the world.

Self-Love is Selfless

Happy Self Love Sunday !

When we truly love ourselves, when we fill ourselves up with pure love, joy, happiness, this is self-less. 
Feeling the lower emotions of blame, anger, guilt are all ego emotions and are selfish. 
Let your heart overflow with pure loving emotion. 

This is your Soul Love Minute!

Honouring Yourself is an Act of Self-Love

Happy Self Love Sunday, Soul Lovers! 

Honouring who you are is an act of of self-love! However, we all need to recognize and honour who we truly are: Our divinity. We need to treat ourselves with the same sacredness as we would with any deity, because we are that. 

This is your Soul Love Minute.

The Importance of Expressing Emotion

Happy Self Love Sunday!

By expressing your emotions, you are releasing energy that has been building up for a really long time.

If you are inspired to express emotion to someone else, then do so. It's not your problem they aren't ready to hear it yet. 

By holding onto these emotions, they will become a habit and situate themselves in your body. 
Release them to make room for better things. 

This is your Soul Love Minute.

Releasing Old Emotions

Happy Self Love Sunday!

Have you seen the movie Poltergeist? Well....it's now become an analogy in today's video.
How deep have you buried those old emotions that you choose to ignore?

If not released, old emotions will come back to haunt you and create chaos in your life.
Releasing the old energy frees up energy for something new.
This is your Soul Love Minute.

Nourish Yourself

Your body, mind, and soul should be treated with the same respect, love, and reverence as any sacred place in the Universe. 

We have been traitors to ourselves, not respecting ourselves, not loving ourselves. We haven't been treating our beautiful selves, our beautiful hearts with the loving care they deserve. 

Nourish yourself not only with good food, but with loving thoughts and emotions.

Your Old Thoughts and Emotions are Like Wearing a 1970's Suit

Happy Self Love Sunday!

Your old thoughts and emotions are like wearing a 1970's polyester suit: It's uncomfortable, it's itchy and it's not breathable. 

But, to venture out to get a new suit (new thoughts and emotions) takes effort, and it means stepping into the unknown.

Why not step into the unknown and see where the new suit takes you?

This is your Soul Love Minute.

Real Change

You might be saying, "Wait. I'm not addicted to my emotions. That's crazy." 

Here's the thing: If rehearsed over and over again, our emotions become ingrained within us and then become a part of who we are. We begin to identify ourselves with these emotions. 

When we try to change, our bodies kick and scream because it's not getting its way. Your body is actually wanting that chemical rush that it expects when you feel anxiety, sadness, frustration, anger, etc. It's used to it, and it wants it right now!

And, because you don't like this feeling, and because you don't like the unknown of the new feeling, you give into those old emotions to settle it down. The cycle then continues.
You can't get off of this merry-go-round until you deliberately choose to. No matter how much kicking and screaming is going on in your internal world, you will need to consciously steer yourself back to your focus, and tell yourself you are making changes that will make you better for it. 

It's like keeping a child focused on a task. When their attention veers to something else, you bring them right back to the task. This is retraining yourself to think and feel differently. This is where true change begins.

There are No Life Lessons

By calling the negative experiences in our lives 'life lessons', it helps us to explain why something bad would be happening to us. While these 'negative' experiences can help us to learn something about ourselves, about life, and how to handle situations, they aren't handed to us by an unseen force as a so-called lesson. 

If the negative situation continues to happen, we keep thinking that 'oh, I haven't learned anything yet. The Universe is still teaching me a lesson.' That's not it at all. We are given the free will to choose our experiences, and it is all dependent on the energy we are resonating in our thoughts and emotions.

If you continue to relive the same experience and wonder why, it's because you are still not addressing that garbage emotion that still brings the same situation into your life. You are essentially not being deliberate, and are falling into the trap of the old way of being. Even though you are 'thinking' that you want a 'new way of being', if your emotions aren't matching that, then you aren't changing anything.

If there is a lesson to be learned in experiencing repetitive situations, it is this: Be more discerning about how you are feeling and thinking.

Are You Letting Love In?

We cannot move through this life unscathed. At one point or another, we will be hurt by a lover that we trusted, which can leave us leery about trying at love again. It can drive us to do things that will keep our hearts hidden, protected, and buried somewhere where no one can find it.

Many would argue what love actually is: Emotion, feeling, a state of mind, a state of being, an action, or, as Allanah Myles sings, 'love is what you want it to be'.  

Here is my take on it: Love, unconditional love, is seeing the other person for who they really are—as pure love themselves, and loving that person because they are already love. There is no ego involved. There is no 'you scratch my back and I scratch yours.' It's an energy exchange that easily flows between two people.

The only time that it doesn't flow easily is when there is resistance by one or both parties. Typically this means that the heart is still being protected and hidden.

Eckhart Tolle says, "What is commonly called "falling in love" is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever." 

Dear Lovely Souls, Loving another requires unlocking the door to your heart so love can flow in. How beautiful it is to be able to experience what it's like to love and be loved. Life is meant to be lived with love. Don't squander it.

Getting What You Want

Here's a question: Why aren't you getting what you want?

It’s because your focus is off. Couple that with not believing that you can have what you want, and also your negative emotions, and suddenly, you are creating things you don't want.

If you could pay attention to a large portion of your thoughts and feelings throughout the day (I know, there are at least 60000 thoughts per day, so don’t stress yourself out if you don’t catch every single one of them.), you would begin to see things change.

What we think about we bring about. While many people may dispute that this isn’t the case at all, and that they’ve been thinking positively most of the time.... like, for about a week.... what it comes down to is your vibration, the one that you've been carrying around for a very long time. You are used to it, and you don't even realize the frequency you are giving off because it is a part of you, and it will be a part of you until you decide to change it.

But, it takes time. Think of it as a muscle. When you go to the gym to work out, you aren’t going to see results in only 10 reps of arm curls or 20 squats, are you? No. It takes time to build muscle mass. But, if you go to the gym 3 times per week and consistently do your workout, you will start to see the muscles becoming more defined. 

Apply this analogy to your thinking. Your thoughts are just that...thoughts. They hold no real weight except for the importance that you give them.

Here's the disclaimer: thoughts and emotions can become things. You could be thinking a positive thought right now, but, if you are still feeling negatively, you won’t get anywhere.

Thoughts and emotion go hand in hand. If your thought process is one of seeing the outcome you want, but your feelings are negative, you won’t get what you truly desire. You'll just keep going in circles, recreating the same thing.  Oh, sure, you may experience some up swings, but the peaks and dips will be huge.

What you want is a smoother ride with the occasional bump in the road. Why do you want the bump in the road? That’s the contrast. That’s where you expand even further. If you were always on a smooth road, you would never expand further from where you are. You would never grow. You would stay the same. 

These bumps of contrast are there for you to shift your awareness. They are the wake up call for you to realize, with great clarity, of what you do not want. Once you feel that contrast, you must shift your perception to what you truly want.

If you keep focusing on the bump, you will create more bumps and bigger dips and peaks. After awhile, it becomes really annoying. You feel like you are on a crazy amusement park ride with no way of getting off.

Think the good thoughts, beautiful friends! Those are the important ones.
Namaste!

Are You Attracted to a Fixer Upper?

You’ve all seen those home improvement shows where a team goes in and guts a house, renovates it, then sells it for more than what they bought it for. Isn't it amazing to see the end product? So much hard work and dedication was put into making something so old and worn into something so beautiful.

However, this doesn't apply to relationships. There are many of us out there that fall in love with the 'potential' of a person, and believe that they can be so much more than what they realize. You are positive that, with your help, love, and commitment, they will blossom like a rose. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and you rarely get a return on your investment.

Instead of the relationship being propelled forward, you are busy trying to fix them; lifting them up and trying to mould them into their full potential. 

If you are anything like me, you may have spent a lot of time ‘fixing’ others. It really is exhausting. Eventually, you get to the point where you can't do it anymore. 

Although, it is valiant of you to take it upon yourself to help your lover become everything that they are meant to be, at some point you will want to see them fly on their own. However, it isn't your job to make them 'better'. They have to want to do it themselves. 

And, if they do not take the lead, but choose to stay stuck where they are, you will spend the bulk of the relationship trying to make them feel good, while you become unsatisfied and resentful. 

This is where you have to ask yourself, 'Is it worth it?' Relationships do require effort. That is a given. However, you want your lover to be right beside you on your journey together and to grow with you. It would be remiss for me to say that there aren’t bumps and curves in relationships. They certainly do happen. But, when you are constantly being the life support for the other person, that means you have found yourself a 'Fixer Upper'. When you realize this, you have to ask yourself a few things: 

• Is this what I truly want? 
• Why would I attract this into my life? (In my case, several times!) 
• How do I feel about myself? Do I feel worthy enough to have a stable, loving relationship? 
• Do I feel it is my job to fix others? 
• Is there something in my own life that I need to address, but have been ignoring by focusing on someone else's problems? 

The fact is, relationships are supposed to be enjoyable. Love is supposed to be fun. A relationship full of stress and indeciveness does not make a happy life. 

Time to be honest with yourself: 

What is it exactly that you want in a loving relationship? And, are you getting it in your current relationship? 

Make sure that you are loving yourself, respecting yourself, and being true to who you are! 

Much love, Beautiful Souls!

Namaste!
