YOUR
HAPPINESS IS MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL FOR YOUR GROWTH THAN HOLDING ON TO ANY
TOXICITY FROM THE PAST J Whatever
weighs you down - interferes with your natural state of happiness. When you
hold on to the past, you keep having the toxic feelings caused by the painful
memories of past events.
Do you
often regret what you have done or not have done?
Do you
often wish you had chosen a different direction in life?
Would
you rather have a different past? Would you like to have another chance to do
some things all over again?
If
your answer is “yes” – your life is driven by guilt.
Chances
are, you can’t truly succeed in life and achieve a state of happiness because
you subconsciously sabotage your own life. The only way out is to forgive
yourself for all that you have been blaming yourself for, and move on. You
deserve to be happy. You deserve a better life. You are worth it!
CONSCIOUS HAPPINESS WILL LEAD YOU TO FREEDOM FROM YOUR
LIMITATIONS.
Life is precious. Life is
beautiful. All that happens to you is a unique story, one in billions J
Another
way of holding on to the past is to be stuck in resentment and anger directed
at those who hurt us. That too, just like holding on to guilt, can effectively
prevent you from living a happy, fulfilled life.
When you hold on to
resentment and anger, you let old memories control your life. You
subconsciously create more situations in life, where you can get hurt, again
and again.
When
you hold on to resentment and anger, you are giving up your happiness and
settle for bitterness, and unhappiness instead. You can’t find inner peace, and
you lose your joy.
The
only way out is to forgive those who hurt you, and move on. You don’t have to
be friends with them, hang out or even be in touch with them. All you need is
to forgive them in your heart. When you forgive them, you do it for yourself.
So that you can be happy and fulfilled. You deserve a better life, free of old
pain and not limited by your past. You are worth it.
Your Heart knows
how to forgive. Your Mind knows how to be free.
All they need – is
your permission to proceed J
STEP FOUR /WEEK FOUR:
Get
rid of the old baggage, by forgiving yourself. Useful affirmation for week
four:
“I forgive myself for not letting myself be all that I can
be. I forgive myself for holding onto old pain and painful memories. I forgive
myself for not yet achieving what I would like to achieve. I forgive myself for
not thinking highly of myself and others. I fully accept myself for who I am.” – from the book “365 (+1) Affirmations to Create a
Great Life” by Johanna Kern.
Remember: you don’t have to be their friend, hang out with them or even be in touch. It is important that you will free yourself from the emotional bondage you still may have with them. You are simply freeing yourself from the toxic feelings caused by the painful memories of past events. Your happiness is much more beneficial for your growth than holding on to any toxicity from the past.
Over the next week, recall all the people who may have willingly or unwillingly cause you any pain, discomfort or trouble. With your eyes closed, imagine their faces, one by one, and say to every single one of them:
“I forgive you. You owe me nothing anymore. I am now free from the painful bond we have created. Now I will be on my way, and you will be on yours.”
And before
all:
Relax. All
is good. All is just the way it is supposed to be J
