Spirit Life 101
Your Spirit Life and Letting Go
Remember this song by 38 Special? I loved it in the 80s and still do. The temptation to play God is one of the temptations of the vision board, affirmation and even creative imagery.
Alan Cohen (Handle with Prayer, 1998) says, "never try to force the object of your prayer into manifestation." You can't do it anyway and if you try, you'll simply create more obstacles for yourself. hmmm- Seems I do this sometimes! Okay, so how can I make my spirit life even better?
Where does it all come from? God, of course. Therefore our relationship with God and an attitude of co-creation is the key. Hey, that is worth reading again!
How?
Spirit Life and Goals
Focus on your goal-not how you'll get there. Are you a control freak? I'm not a freak for control, but I'm human and like to have an idea of how things will go-a plan. I have to remind myself that God's plan is better than my own. Maybe you've heard this before: Let Go and Let God.
This is what I'm trying to do for myself:
- Stop Complaining and focus instead on the dream vision
- Be as clear as you can-even write a list
- Review it as often as you need to
- Be happy-your vision is on its way
- Create a nice place you can call your own sacred space
- Pray for the guidance to let go and have faith more often in your life
- Take better care of myself. Have you seen my weight loss blog? It is about more than just weight loss, of course.
- Use the tools that might help you-
- See where you are and remember that the obstacles are there to help you grow
- Use the simple things to re-focus- Imagery, Vision Boards, Meditation, Prayer, Prayer Beads, Walking or other exercise, Affirmations, and simple Breathing. These are simple things that don't take a lot of time (and they don't cost any $$), but can make a world of difference. I also like to journal, and thank you all for sharing in my own healing!
Paying attention to your Spirit life is essential to find happiness.
Get ready, get set, go!
