Fast...

 

I came across this in a book and thought it would be good practice to do for one day. I find I can be very critical of myself, so going on a "criticism fast" would help bring awareness and help remind me to be kinder to myself when I am imperfect and human. Self - Forgiveness is something I work on daily and I have to choose situation by situation just as I hope to continue to work on the harsh judgement I place upon myself.

The Criticism Fast

For one day resolve, "I will criticize nothing that occurs today. I will imagine everything that happens is for my good and the good of others. I will release myself from the judgements I have laid upon myself. I will see myself, my motivations and my actions as pure. I will not agree with the critical or judgmental words or attitudes of others. I will not deny the good within and around me. I give this entire day to the celebration of good."

Stop...

Stop.

Breathe.

Cry if you must.

I need this sometime ~ to remind myself in the present moment to stop... breath... and cry if I must!

Remind...

"My idea of a superbowl is a toilet that cleans itself."

"When nothing goes right... go left."

"I named my dog "5 Miles" so I can tell people I walk 5 miles everyday."

Just needed to remind myself not to take life to seriously!

Falling...

"Sometimes when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into place."

This is something that I need to remind myself often. When it all looks like it's falling apart it's hard to remember that it could be actual falling into place. It's all how you choose to look at it ~The cup is either half full or half empty!

Valuable...

"Remind yourself of how much you have to give and how precious and valuable your giving is."

This is what I need to remind myself daily about what I have to offer. And to remember just how precious and valuable that offering is to others.
