Whenever we are ill we need to search our hearts to see who
it is we need to forgive. Forgiveness means giving up and letting go. It has
nothing to do with condoning behaviour. It’s just letting the whole thing go.
We do not have to know HOW to forgive. All we need is to be WILLING to forgive.
The Universe will take care of the “how’s”. People have a lot of problems – it
could be poor health, lack of money, unfulfilling relationships, or stifled
creativity – whatever the issue is can only be resolved or dissolved with
LOVING the self. I find that when we really love and accept and APPROVE of
ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works. It’s as if little
miracles are everywhere. Our health improves, we attract more money, our
relationships become much more fulfilling, and we express ourselves in
creatively fulfilling ways. All this seems to happen without our even trying.
Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are the main keys to positive
changes in every area of our lives. We must however first address the issues
that caused us to feel that we could not have self-approval or self-acceptance
and that all goes back to our beliefs. Whatever we believe becomes true for us.
If you have a sudden financial disaster, then on some level you may believe you
are unworthy of being comfortable with money, or you believe in burdens and
debt. Or if you believe that nothing good ever lasts, do you believe that life
is out to get you or “I just can’t win”. If you seem unable to attract a
relationship, you may believe “Nobody loves me” or “I am unlovable”. Perhaps
you fear being dominated as your mother was or you think “People just hurt me”.
If you have poor health you may believe “Illness runs in our family” or even “I
was born to suffer” or “It’s just one thing after another”. Perhaps you are not
even aware of your belief. Many people are not, they just see their outer
circumstances as being the way the cookie crumbles. Until you realise the
connection between the outer experiences and the inner thoughts, you remain a
victim for life.
PROBLEM BELIEF
Financial disaster I
am not worthy of having money
No friends Nobody
loves me
Problems with work I’m
not good enough
Always pleasing others I
never get my way
Whatever the problem is, it comes from a thought pattern,
and thought patterns can be changed! Ask yourself “What kinds of thoughts am I
having that create this?”. If you allow yourself to sit quietly and ask this
question, your inner intelligence will show you the answer.
Are you one of the many people who will get up in the
morning, see that it is raining, and say “Oh, what a lousy day!” It is NOT a
lousy day. It is only a wet day. If we wear the appropriate clothing and change
our attitude, we can have a lot of rainy day fun. If it is really our belief
that rainy days are lousy days, then we will always greet rain with a sinking
heart. We will fight the day rather than flow with what is happening in the
moment. If we want a joyous life, we must think joyous thoughts. If we want a
prosperous life, we must think prosperous thoughts. If we want a loving life,
we must think loving thoughts. Whatever we send out mentally or verbally will
come back to us in like form.
The point of power is always in the present moment. It does
not matter how long we have had a negative pattern or an illness or a poor
relationship or lack of finances or self-hatred. We can begin to make a shift
today! What you are now choosing to believe and think and say will create the
next moment and the next day and the next month and the next year. You are the
power in your world! You get to have whatever you choose to think.
Stop for a moment and catch your thought. What are you
thinking right now? If it is true that your thoughts shape your life, would you
want what you were just thinking right now to become true for you? If it’s a
thought of worry or anger or hurt or revenge or fear, how do you think this
thought will come back to you? If you find yourself expressing negative words
of any sort, stop in midsentence, either rephrase the sentence of just drop it.
You could even say to it “Out”.
To change your beliefs use positive affirmations daily. Say
them over to yourself whenever you can. Even write them out ten times at night
before going to bed. You will note a remarkable shift. Some examples of affirmations you could use:
I am healthy.
I am healed.
I am loved.
I am wealthy.
I am extremely successful.
