Appreciate Yo'Self

Here we are on the other side of the year 2106 and into a brand new year. I feel the pull to create anew. I also feel the pull of staying in a sacred, restful place for awhile. No rush, no hurry, when the time is right, the new will be revealed. 

After a year like 2016, (or after any stressful time) it is wise to allow ourselves re-covery time. It is wise to allow ourselves to rest, re-group, re-generate and re-establish our own inner center and equanimity.

We are all affected in varying degrees by the high paced, quick as lightening, times we inhabit. It is positive in so many ways to be able to connect and travel and receive information downloads instantly, repeatedly and abundantly. It is also a heavy burden on our systems if we do not take time to acclimate ourselves to the highly stimulating outer world. This acclimation process is one we are all currently undergoing. How do we acclimate ourselves? It will be different for each one of us, yet at the core of this process is Self Understanding, Appreciation and Love.

We talk about it often, but I don't think we realize how the information age can mess with our systems and create havoc. What is true? What is false? What is somewhere in between? What do I think about that? and that? and that? We want to be able to assimilate information, learn, grow and flourish, yet the rate at which we consume may need to be acknowledged so we may slow down and re-cover our own inner sense of intuition and wisdom before proceeding. 

Reovering our own inner sense of what is right for us, what is wrong and what is somewhere in the middle requires that we know ourselves. It requires that we know ourselves now, as we are today. It requires a deeply appreciative and self accepting attitude towards ourselves. Only then can we begin to feel, hear, know and follow our own inner guidance system and feel, hear and know what is truly good and right for us. 

January is the month for Self Appreciation. 

In all of my classes and workshops, and sessions, this will be the underlying theme. It is so very important to appreciate ourselves now, today. Tell yourself you are appreciated. Tell yourself you appreciate yourself for how far you have come, (if only baby steps), how much you have grown, how much you have lived through. 

We made it through another ride around the sun together. We made it through and are all busily acclimating to an ever changing world. The changes will be faster and faster. The place that does not change is your internal light, and your connection to the Source of Love that fuels the life force in all. 

Fuel this light by appreciating yourself. No rush, no hurry, we got all the time in the world to be in Self-Appreciation and to Re-connect with the Light that dwells within. 

And in the meantime, abundantly appreciate yourself. Write out ways to do so in your journal and then do your very best to appreciate YOU.

Have a blessed week.
