New and Renew

On the way home, I realized I needed a little lift, and so I found myself singing one of the little songs I had written for myself at the beginning of my serious spiritual study.

“Happiness is...being me.
Happiness is...being me.
Happiness is...being me.
I’m O K.”

And it brought my thought back into an uplifted mode.

I had to keep working at it to keep myself there and I decided that it is alright when that happens.

It is still so new to me to have any control over my own happiness.

To be able to take myself there and to know how to work to maintain it is fabulous.

It is better than living with the negative imprinting from early childhood and reaping those rewards.

It is worth the work and it is so wonderful to know how to do the work of staying happy.

So I sang my little song again.

“Happiness is...being me.
Happiness is...being me.
Happiness is...being me.
I’m O K.”

New and renew.

It was a good discovery and it is still a good practice.

What is My Priority?

 

I love me.  I love me.  I love me.

I can hardly believe it.

That is my new priority.

I act in accord with myself.

With me.

With my loves, desires, goals.

My abilities support what I love.

I take care of myself best through doing what I love.

It’s all one direction now.

All the energy flows into what is good for me.

Nothing is drained off in other directions.

When I uplift, I am uplifting myself.

I am no longer depressed, exhausted, and frustrated taking care of everyone else first.

The considerable lifting up strength I have gained is now being utilized for me.

Loving me is so totally unselfish.

I can do things for myself that no one else can.

I can jump, run, be happy, create.

That lets a lot radiate off of me as it overflows and overflows.

But first, I love me, love me, love me.
