Love

 Hi Everyone,
Wow, reading about the universal loving kindness was amazing to me. It brought tears to my eyes because if we could only remember to say those few phrases, we would truly experience self forgiveness, how to love yourself and then others and even enemies! Lately, I have been suffering inside of my soul. This is a blog, so I can be real.. I have an addict mind and it is hard to change. It is a scary process because I have used unhealthy things to numb me out. I think way to much and I honestly, have not experienced self forgiveness and healthy coping skills. This is why this class is helping me so much. It is opening up my eyes to see things in another light, but it does take practice. Being kind to yourself can be difficult, but we have to quickly change that or darkness will take over. I discovered that I am not as kind to myself as I should be. I have to learn how or I am only hurting myself. I do not need anyone else, it can just be me, myself, and I to battle. It has not always been like this, though. I have just been through a lot darkness and coming back to the light is hard because I feel unworthy, but I know deep in my soul I am not. That darkness speaks to the mind in all forms. I have to learn how to guard my mind and heart and have discernment. Self- Forgiveness is the area of my life I have chosen to be a focus for growth and development. Positive affirmations daily will help me be able to learn how to gain self-confidence and self-forgiveness again. I like praying as well. That helps me so much to relieve my burdens to the one who is in control. Have a great week everyone and remember to smile!
