Why Forgive?

I just finished taking my level 2 (EFT) Emotional Freedom Technique with Al Rodee.
I just want to share with you my personal journey of the week.
During my training what I have noticed is I carry this pain in my heart.
What I though was a block about my life satisfaction came back as
I have been carrying hurt and pain by not forgiving

Do I want to be free of pain Yes! Is the pain in my body a reminder that I have things to let go of? Absolutely.
I have done talk therapy I though I had done all this work already but on a cellular level my body still carries this stuff  (when this was done........I felt rejected , betrayed etc.)
I've talked to my inner child I though she was ok she was happy!
No she wasn't heard on everything she was carrying.

People hurt our feelings it's not their fault they don't know. We are just reflections of each others pain.
When we want to run away from these feelings people in our lives reflect what we are trying to run away from.....isn't that interesting.
Do you hear people saying why does this situation always happen to me?

We haven't learned the lesson and the lesson is to FORGIVE FORGIVE FORGIVE and Love Love Love. We deserve love and forgiveness why won't we give to someone else? Does it make the person right?
Does carrying this pain make us right? Why do we burden ourselves even with not loving or forgiving ourselves? Why the punishment?( I am not good enough. I am not deserving of being on this planet.) Who has made us feel like we deserve these feelings or beliefs? Who implanted theses things in our souls?

So why do I carry this stuff ? Was it little girl stuff deep rooted that she had no words to explain or express herself maybe yes. What would I be or who would I be without this pain?
It is a security blanket?

Being in my first year of marriage I have understood that this bond that I have chosen with my husband is about loving and excepting the person right in front of me all the time. The reason I've bonded with this person is because he absolutely LOVES me (even the not so nice bits that I bring to the table) and I love him the same.  Forgive the parts that are not so pleasant and by forgiving I forgive myself. We reflect each other. I wish to treat everyone with the same respect this is my work and journey.

So That was a very intense week and I will be doing more tapping into these feelings and please share with me your thoughts?



It is a great day!

With Love and Forgiveness

Does your cup runneth over?

"My Cup Runneth Over" is a quotation from the Hebrew Bible^[1] (Psalm 23:5) and means "I have more than enough for my needs" though interpretations and usage may vary.

When thinking about this in terms of energy in the body if your cup is empty what do you do?
How to fill your cup?

I've noticed when my cup isn't full I am not patient, I have a lack of energy and I never seem to get enough. I always crave stimulants: coffee and sugar meet you at the coffee shop :D
Do you sometimes feel like someone is draining your cup? 
Are there situations in your life that make you feel that way? Take notice because these are opportunity for you to learn and grow about yourself! We all have needs and our body's do try to guide us to get them met!

I heard an interesting concept that if your cup isn't full and you keep doing things for other people they are actually stealing from you. You are allowing them to steal from you.....really?



This is the time of year to focus on ourselves. 

I have found this year in particular that I've needed more me time. I feel such a huge amount of guilt of doing nothing. We are very schedule people and we need to be doing something all the time. I almost get nervous that I am waisting time (is there such a thing?)

Here are some suggestions for you to try that I have been incorporating this Fall.

I've been trying to do fun things that I enjoy doing. 
Find yourself a hobby 
Do you like art? express yourself with an art diary 
Go to the library see what books you're interested in. It's free and they always have programs and special recommendations for people!

I've started doing a guided meditation everyday. I though I've been pretty calm but lately I've noticed there's a lot of chatter so I kept having to come back to the mediation. Which means I will be doing much more of it!

Exercising helps keep you grounded. Spend some time outside be in nature observe what is around you.

Good nutritious food incorporate delicious fruit and veggies and them to your daily snacks. It's not about taking things away but adding then you will notice that you actually start graving more and more nutritious food. That means you are also adding more : Vitamins! 
You can also  add a multi vitamin to help boost your vitality!

It's ok to hibernated. Stay home and rest.

Please share with me what you like to do for downtime and fills you up to take care of yourself!

Have a great day!
