Loved Cherished Adored –
My individual power
My individual power is the power to choose how I respond.
I was imprisoned by my very understandable emotional response to extreme negative situations.
I found out how to release myself.
It has taken lots of practice, but it is possible to do, because I have done it.
Instead of spending the rest of my life in grief and panic, I have replaced my negative memories with new uplifting and positive experiences.
I made this choice through several significant factors.
I discovered the power of “I love me”.
I remind myself of this all day long.
I gave myself permission to discover what I love to do and began doing it.
What I love to do is homesteading skills.
I have been learning them from a list and checking them off.
My favorites are food preservation and weaving.
I discovered that focusing on a small space and drawing small, repetitious lines and figures is calming for me.
I call it Meditation Drawing.
I have made more than one thousand.
I discovered how to add color and to make art and affirmations.
This has evolved in 52 week topics, based on my practice for my weekly music lesson from age five-years-old through grad school.
I share them on my website at www.shareinspirationandpeace.com .
I continue to journal and post inspiration at www.inspired-practices.com . Please subscribe.
This is how I make my daily choices to maintain my inner peace.
I am so grateful for the many tiny steps which came from using my individual power to choose better experiences for myself.
It is having a long-term healing effect for me.
