Acceptance for a Loving Relationship
I want to share the work I did on myself on Sunday morning.
I felt compelled to share my declaration for my husband Andy and our son, Julian.
The wording could be changed later on but the essence remains. (This was shared on my Facebook page yesterday.)
❤️❤️❤️
I AM Acceptance.
I accept Andy and his body. I accept him for who he is, his way of being, thinking and speaking. I have an undying love and care for him.
I respect his pain and his path. I have no complaints for him, but only love. My being, my thinking, my speaking and my actions reflect that love.
Andy, Julian and I are one, unified in one body and one mind. Love binds us all; that love is warm, secure, safe and comforting. That love represents eternity and wholeness.
❤️❤️❤️
Relationships are not always easy. Whether it's the relationship with our spouse, parents, siblings or relatives, challenges exist.
When you feel powerless, know that you have the power to handle it however you CHOOSE.
You can choose to see it as a problem.
You can choose to be curious about what causes them to do what they do.
You can choose to see it as a way to deepen your relationship.
You can choose to see it as a way to learn about the other person better.
You can choose to see it as a way to learn about yourself.
But it's easier said than done right? Of course!
These challenges can be hurtful and painful; they can cause anger, resentment, frustration, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia and many more that can adversely affect your mind and your body.
You are so blended in with all those emotions that it is hard to see through it and see what goodness there is in it. The good news is there is a way to help you see things more clearly!
Check in with yourself and ask yourself, deep down:
How much is your ego involved?
How much of your past is involved in feeling that way?
What holes do you need and want this person to fill in for you?
And lastly,
How do you fill in these holes YOURSELF?
How do you learn to accept YOURSELF even?
Do you know that it might be hard for you to accept others because you have trouble accepting yourself?
THAT is our work.
Let's work on it together. Get in touch with me and we can explore it together in one session. We will also talk about: how to separate those heavy emotions from you. The You that is naturally joyful, blissful and happy.
No cost involved for you, no strings attached.
You think life coaching is about what you do? No. It's about how you BE. More on that in my future posts.
Additional note:
The message I have left to myself is: How can I expand that love to those outside of myself?
The words of my declaration touched me deeply as I wrote them yesterday. I felt differently afterwards as if my heart was filled with a lot of loving energy. It was gentle and subtle.
I saw Andy and Julian with more love, and my sister, her partner and my mom with more love. The love overshadowed all judgements I may have. All I experienced was beauty, patience and forgiveness.
By the evening when I went to see an outdoor art show, I saw strangers with more curiosity and love. I blessed them in their love, happiness, joy and financial abundance.
How great is that experience??
Loving you, be blessed, ❤️
