Valentine’s Day – It’s NOT Just For “Lovers”

by

heart_puzzle_piece_missing_pc_400_clr_4847Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

I’m still on a high about last weekend’s accomplishment even though I’m trying not to brag. I did have a fun surprise though when my business coach, Rich German,  told the whole group about my achievement. I had told him of course because it’s one reason I hadn’t done the work I was supposed to do for him (ha ha – always looking for excuses) and he told everyone even though it had nothing to do with our course. But that was kind of nice. It was an act of “love” and caring.

Which leads me to today’s topic. People think of Valentine’s Day as being only for “lovers” but I like to look at it as being for everyone who loves something. For example, my running family is full of love – probably more than I’ve ever experienced on any Valentine’s Day in my past.  And they express that love every single day. Loving someone or something means being there for them WHENEVER they need it (and even when they don’t need it but you want to let them know you’re thinking of them).

Practice putting love into your daily life and even today try to tell others “Happy Valentine’s Day” even if you’re risking funny looks. Isn’t making someone else feel better worth a funny look? You have no idea what’s going through that person’s mind and how they are feeling and your three words might actually make a significant difference in their life (but that’s the subject of another post).

What do you love? Who do you love? What does love mean to you?

Remember to use your Gratitude Journal to express your love to the universe even if you don’t do it to another individual. Gratitude is THE most powerful force in the Universe! Write it out, type it out, think it, just DO IT! Saying your “gratitudes” will help you create your own reality in a positive way. You get more of what you put out every day. So put out that love and gratitude that you’re feeling!

Love Yourself

by

I keep hearing people say,   ” If you want love in your life, you have to love yourself.   I thought I did.  But if so, why do I feel like there is still  something missing for me?”

Because we’ve never been taught what “loving yourself” really means.   As children we frequently hear words like,  “God won’t love you if you’re naughty?”,  “Your mother doesn’t really love you, her favorite is your big sister who helps with the dishes.” Or, “the baby is the apple of your dad’s eye”  and so we attach love to working hard for someone else, having a God that is hard to please, Or, a mother who is struggling to keep up with doing for others.

Change your thinking, change your words, change your ideas.

Write this affirmation on cards. Put one by your bed, one in your car, one in your briefcase.

“I am so loved, I am so loving, I am so lovable….everybody tells me so”

When you wake up in the morning, read the affirmation and start a sing-song chant to the tune of  The Farmer In The Dell.  Everybody knows that song.  Don’t be concerned about carrying a tune….. change the tune if you like.

Don’t be concerned about the words fitting.   It doesn’t matter.

You are creating and claiming

1) Income of love

2) Outgo of loving and

3) Recognition of being lovable.

That is what matters.

Give this a chance.  sing this when getting out of bed, when going to work, when coming home from work and as you go to bed at night.  4 times a day for 2-5 minutes each time.

Within a week’s time you will begin to hear others tell you the words you are singing.  It does the soul good to recognize how strong your words are when you just claim the things you want.

Leave a comment about how you felt the first time someone told you how lovable you are.

Treatment For Divine Love

by

What a great post from Emmet fox on this beautiful Christmas day. Use these affirmative statements to brighten up your day – do it every day for awhile and see how you feel!

Treatment for DIVINE LOVE

My soul is filled with Divine Love.

I am surrounded by Divine Love.

I radiate Love and Peace to the whole world.

I have conscious Divine Love.

God is Love, and there is nothing in ex¬istence but God and His self-expression.

All men are expressions of Divine Love; therefore, I can meet with noth¬ing but the expressions of Divine Love. Nothing ever takes place but the Self-expressing of Divine Love.

All this is true now. This is the actual case, the actual state of affairs. I do not have to try to bring this about, but I observe it already in being now.

Divine Love is the actual nature of Being. There is only Divine Love, and I know this.’

I perfectly understand what Divine Love is. I have conscious realization of Divine Love. The Love of God is in me for all humanity, I am a lamp of God, radiating Divine Love to all whom I meet, to all whom I think of.

I forgive everything that can possibly need forgiveness – positively everything.

Divine Love fills my heart, and all is well.

I now radiate Love to the whole universe, excluding no one.

I experience Divine Love.

I demonstrate Divine Love.

I thank God for this.

Love

Where’s my food? As I’m still working with my doggie, Jackie, trying to nurse her back to health, I’ve realized that there are many things I’m doing differently in the last two weeks that just “isn’t me” – and it’s all because of Love.

So take some time today and ask yourself what you do, or even what you would do, for love? What would you do that takes you beyond where you are this minute.

Here’s some examples from my life:

I’m cooking for Jackie twice a day (granted it’s just boiled lamb or hamburger but it requires extra time and effort). Anyone who knows me knows that that’s just amazing because I am NOT a cook.

I’m not staying late at work to “catch up” nor am I going to work early to “get ahead”. I’m spending as much time with her as possible.

I’m taking her for at least one walk a day and sometimes two. As soon as we get up at 4 a.m. we’re out the door. She has a doggy door so I don’t NEED to do that but it’s something she enjoys.

I’m essentially living at the grocery store (not really). I would go to the grocery store once a week or once every two weeks before – probably because I don’t cook..ha ha…but now I’m going almost every day to get something different (whe I was trying to find what she’d eat) or to stock up on what works. This takes alot of time too.

I’m having to say “no” to things that I know would be bad for her – her biscuits for example. That’s hard.

I’m taking time off work to take her to the Vet. I don’t even care if it’s in the middle of the day.

You see, my priorities have changed even though she should have been my first priority all along. And as such, my activities have changed.

What do you do for love? Answer that question and examine what love is all about. I’m finding out more and more each day. I hope this helps you find out too.
