  • Comfort of self-compassion

    Comfort #3 – Comfort of self-compassion.

    I feel the comfort of self-compassion when I become really honest with myself.

    I no longer pressure myself about the past.

    I slow down into the present moment.

    I do not allow myself to worry about the future.

    My life is about where I am coming from right now.

    It is not a prediction based on elements from the past.

    I give myself room to rethink elements of my life.

    Of course, with my knowledge today, I could do them differently.

    Without that knowledge,I can be compassionate about using what I did have.

    I can release myself from endless rounds of unproductive thinking.

    I can breathe deeply and peacefully.

    I can find a moment of deep peace and stay there.

    I can cultivate the peaceful moments.

    I can extend them.

    I can compassionately give myself as much time in peaceful meditation and reflection as I desire.

    When I feel completely at home in the peace, I am in a good place to make decisions.

    When I release myself from judgement and evaluation, I have fresh opportunities.

    I am looking at my situation from a completely different viewpoint.

    I include all the elements I need in order to be successful in service.

    My self-compassion gives me insight into the needs of others.

    I give myself quiet moments.

    I give myself peace.

    I let my feelings flow into the space of non-judgement.

    I have room to be excellent.

    I can find my wholeness in the comfort of self-compassion.

  • Live peaceably with yourself

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.15 –

    Live Peaceably With Yourself

    It is so peaceful knowing I will always take care of myself.

    I used to do things I thought I had to in order to take care of others first.

    I prayed for strength and humility and to “bloom where I was planted”.

    Now that I am in tune with who I am and the ability to honor my own identity, everything fits better.

    Because I am nurturing my own soul, I am able to nurture others better.

    Because I am expressing my true gifts, I am able to live much better.

    Instead of doing things the way others believe they should be done, I am doing them from a much higher sense with a deeper commitment and getting much better results.

    Those ideas and intuitions that come to us are meant to take form.

    We are meant to translate them into substance and magnificence.

    What is coming to you from inside is your true identity and purpose.

    Honor that and live peaceably with yourself.

  • Sometimes it feels as though I am missing something along my life-path.

    Life-Path Story Mazes – #3 Sometimes it feels as though I am missing something along my life-path.

    There is a time to become still, and to listen within.

    What I am missing, I will find in my connection to the Divine.

    As I listen quietly, I begin to feel a calm and peace.

    Inside the calm and peace is a message.

    It holds me, embraces me, reassures and comforts me.

    My connection to the Infinite gives me all I need.

    It guides my desire.

    It moves me into service.

    From my calm and my peace, what can I do to comfort others?

    How can I reassure them that we all have what we need when we listen within?

    I shall take my next step in deep peace.

    I shall move gently.

    I am not in a hurry.

    I include everything I need to take my next step.

    I take a deep breath of gratitude.

    I trust the divine within me to connect me to what I need.

    I trust the divine within me to comfort and reassure me.

    I am held in the divine embrace.

    My work is to be uplifted and to uplift.

    Each step, taken in calm, is comforting.

    Trusting the Infinite, I find I am not missing anything.

    I am grateful for each moment to consider this fact.

    My life-path is strengthened, not weakened, by my listening attitude.

    I can trust where I am being led by the Divine.

    Purpose and Peace

    Fulfilling my own purpose is peaceful.

    It is satisfying and there is always forward motion.

    They never run out.

    It is quite a consistent supply.

    I love being in harmony with my purpose.

    It is wonderful being in pleasant and inspiring surroundings.

    I am so glad that this is where I live now.
