Loving Life
Before you can begin to bring your body back into balance and facilitate a state of self-healing, you need to reawaken your mind-soul connection. It is not enough to simply live life. I want you to love life.
What’s the difference?
When you are living life, you are going from task to task, moment to moment, without any real awareness of the process or the goal. Sometimes you are happy. Sometimes you are not. When things change, you worry. When things get better, you get excited. You try to do some things to help yourself and others, but mostly you are a passive member of humanity, reacting to circumstances as they occur and never quite feeling fulfilled or joyful. When you are loving life, you are L-I-V-I-N-G. You approach each moment with your eyesand your heartwide open. You are accepting of each new circumstance, and you are consistently approaching other people with compassion and seeking to understand and enjoy life to its fullest. You want to be a better person. You want to improve the life of all beings. You want to make the world a better place. Where you go, light shines.
Why does it matter?
When you are loving life, you are inviting your higher self, your oversoul, your infinite-I, your spark-of-god-self into your life. Your actions result in improvements for the highest good of all involved. You feel happier. You age more slowly, or not at all. Your health improves. Progress is made more easily at work and at home. People around you seem happier – when you smile, they smile. You are, indeed, making the world a better place.
When you are living life, you are not improving on anything. You are merely subsisting. You develop illnesses. You age. You fear. You cry. When you shout or glare, other people feel bad. You are, unfortunately, making the world a little bit worse. A little bit sadder. A little bit colder.
What can you do?
There are so many ways to begin loving life. It all starts with you. In your heartand in your mind. Sometimes, we are so not loving life that we need to begin with baby steps. Many vibrational remedies help open the mind to new solutions, making it easier to change gears and propel ourselves into higher realms of consciousness, or at least help us achieve a healthier emotional state.
AffirmationsandEFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) both help to reprogram the mind and are great places to start. Affirmations are very, very easy to incorporate into your everyday life. Simply choose life-affirming statements and say them to yourself throughout the day: stick post-its on your mirror or your computer, in your car or on your lunch. Keep these statements positive, always confirming the best aspects you are seeking to encourage in your life.
Here are some examples of affirmations:
“I am happy and relaxed. I greet each new day with anticipation and enjoyment.”
“I am surrounded by loving, caring people. I see friendly faces wherever I go.”
“My food sustains my soul and body. I am nourished by healthy meals and a positive environment.”
“My work fulfills me and is for the highest good of all. I enjoy going to the office each day and creating a better world. Every little thing I do makes a difference.”
The wonderful thing about affirmations is that every time you say one of these statements, both your ego and your subconscious minds take note. You use your conscious mind to utter words, and your
