CULTIVATING A LOVING SPIRIT WITH GOOD TEMPER
"Love is a universal energy and divine capacity. As we ativate the love within, the expression of the energy of love creates an atmosphere in which another person's growth process may be reactivated and love released" -Eric Butterworth
How we express ourselves in our daily lives have a dramatic impact on the well-being of ourselves and others. It can leave a negative first impression and lasting effect. As stated by Henry Drummond, we are inclined to look upon bad temper as a very harmless weakness. We speak of it as a mere infirmity of nature, a matter of temperament, not a things to take into very serious account in estimating a man's character. And yet here, right in the heart of the analysis of love, it finds a place... Condemn it as one of the most destructive elements of nature".
Good Temper is truly caring for ourselves in a loving way. The energy of anger lingers in our energy feel and is hard to shake. Be the highest expression of LOVE with GOOD TEMPER. Take the time to be with yourself in a loving way. It will impact your presence in the outer world.
Here are benefits and advantagees of practicing Good Temper:
-Bring carity to the situation
-Be non-reactive
-Draw on your inner essence
-Meditate on Love

CHOICE is powerful! Every day we are free to choose. However, without awareness of our own personal power, choices are made subconsciously without much thought. Our thoughts drive our actions. Oftentimes, we make decisions that keep us boxed in and those that inhibit our capacity to fulfill our dreams and potential.

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

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

SELF CARE IS GOOD TEMPER
What does it feel like when we have a good temper? What does it feel like when others are good-tempered toward you? Good Temper is an ingredient in the 'Recipe of Love' and essential for self care.
When we show Good Temper, we build a better relationship with ourselves and others. Henry Drummond states, "We are incined to look upon bad temper as a very harmless weekness. We speak of it as a mere infirmity of nature, a family failing, a matter of temperament, not a thing to take into very serious account in estimating a man's character. Condemn it as one of the most destructive elements in human nature".Ill-temper is a vice of the virtuous and an unloving characteristic. It destroys relationships, communities and nations.
LOVE is not easily provoked. Be of Good Temper and you will be in control of yourself:
-Bring clarity to the situation
-Be non-reactive
-Draw on your inner essence
-Meditate on Love
