KEEP YOUR CUP FILLED WITH LOVE AND SELF-CARE​

Nurturing yourself is important for your health, happiness and well being. Do you put yourself last? Do you take care of others at the expense of yourself? Do you expect others to love and care for you? It is up to you to take care of yourself first. It is not selfish. You cannot give from an empty cup. Keep a healthy balance with yourself and others. Be in harmony with your mental, emotional and physical self. That means you have to pay attention to what you are thinking, what you are saying to yourself, and how you are caring for your physical body. It is important to develop an intimate relationship with yourself. Here are suggestions:

-INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS -Be open to new ideas and experiences

-EMOTIONAL WELLNESS - Monitor your feelings and emotions and reframe from negative self-talk

-PHYSICAL WELLNESS -Respect your body and engage in practices that optimize health

-SPIRITUAL WELLNESS -Discern your values and beliefs that provide purpose in your life

Excerpts from "JOURNEY TO WHOLENESS: Reflections for Transforming Your Life" by Dr. Jean Marie Farish

EMPOWERED DECISION MAKING​

"Hear the voice of Love and invite intuitive wisdom into your life"

Do you depend on others to make decisions? How can you TRUST YOURSELF? We all have the innate power to follow our internal guidance that is the ultimate inner teacher and gift of the soul. The wisdom is crystal clear. I have learned to take time and be Patient with myself without the need to rush and make quick decisions.

When you TRUST YOURSELF, you will not second guess your decisions. I will give an example of how it works. One day I had a pressing decision to make and my thinking mind kept ruminating on outcomes and consequences. It was exhausting and frustrating. Relying on Divine guidance, I asked for the right decision and did not think about it anymore. The next morning I awakened with a clear message that came in a quiet whisper, a Biblical scripture which was the answer I needed. Trust your inner voice that never fails:

  -GIVE YOURSELF DOWNTIME

-SOULFUL ENGAGEMENT

-AUTHENTIC WRITING

-CREATIVE INSPIRATION

-TRUST THE SOURCE

Practice this daily and you will become more self-assured, self-reliant and self-confident. Take the time to journal on the above stragegies and results achieved. The outer world is filled with confusion and take time to be quiet within yourself and ... See where it takes you.

LOVE IS ACTIVE 

LOVE is an active power in man; a power which breaks through the walls which separate man from his fellow men, which unite him with ohters; LOVE makes him overcome the sense of isolation and separateness; yet it permits him to be himself; to retain his integrity" -Erich Fromm

Unconditional LOVE is our natural state of being and exists in each of us. It is th simple things that make a difference... a genuine smile, authentic complement, extending a helping hand, serving wholeheartedly and being passionate about our lives and contributing for the betterment of the world.
