Topic of the Week Magic MomentsI’ve just returned from a busy week of travel, where I had a chance to spend time with Louise Hay and one hundred women from around the world at Miraval Resort in Arizona. It was Louise’s first time teaching a workshop in almost twenty years and there were many magic moments. This week, I thought I’d share a bit of retreat wisdom with you. Here are a few of my notes: 
- Problems come from nowhere and they return from whence they came unless you put a death grip on them.
- Develop a loving relationship with the objects around you. The next time you take a shower, for example, affirm: “It’s such a pleasure to take a shower. I am grateful for the people who designed and built this shower. The water feels so good and my life is blessed.”
- The single, most effective way to eliminate negative self-talk while at the same time strengthening your relationship with yourself is to do mirror work every day. Each time you look into a mirror, affirm: I love you (fill in your name). I really, really love you. You look so beautiful and you have the best smile. You are my ideal woman (or man) and I love you dearly.
- You’re living with yourself all day long. Make sure you’re in good company. Think good thoughts.
- Feeding your body good nutrition is a profound act of self-love. Start with one change. Eliminate sugar, wheat, or dairy for one week and notice how good you feel.
- Taking things that don’t belong to you – even a paperclip from work – is declaring to Life that you are undeserving.
- Not sure affirmations work? Try this: Walk down the street thinking, “I’m so beautiful and everybody loves me.” Then notice what happens.
- Take time throughout the day to breathe deeply, relax your shoulders and scalp, and send someone a loving thought.
- Forgiveness is a profound act of healing. Start by forgiving yourself.
Just a few good ideas to launch your week with love… #x1F600; |
