Learning, yet again, how important it is to be your own best friend. The more you trust yourself, the more you can trust yourself with others. They are unpredictable, but if you can set safe boundaries for yourself, you can trust yourself to act in your best interest, no matter what.

Our feelings toward others are not based in circumstance.
Rather, they reflect our feelings toward our own selves.
Our perception of our world is what it reflects back to us.
If you feel anger or shame, look inside, and
approach your Self with Love and Compassion.
We can only heal from the inside out. ~Amy Baker
112- Celebrate Your Inner Rainbow
Inspired by a Facebook post. Original quote:
“Colours seen by candlelight will not look the same by day.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning….. ♥
Value all aspects (colors) of yourself. That includes the light and shadow, which alter our perception of everything.
Can you see the beauty in the shadow aspect? Can you see the darkness in the light?
Like a painter, I explore my colors. Dancing on every moment through my waters, my paints, kicking, sloshing, twirling, immersing myself fully.
Paintings in my mind, in my heart, impermanent, ready each day for a remodel of my inner landscape. ~Amy Baker

97- Saying Yes
96- Rephrasing your Need To DO
As I become more the observer of myself, I find myself saying that I NEED to do this or that, and yet it doesn’t get done before other priorities in my life. Procrastination, for whatever reason, has frozen me into not taking care of these thihgs.
Always having that item on your list of TO DO’s is stressful and causes unnecessary anxiety.
Realizing I was doing this to myself, I decided to write down what I keep saying I NEED to do. As soon as I had a few statements, I questioned the effect of the wording and began to rephrase my “I Need to” statements. It went something like this:
– Contact Mr. SoAndSo—– Make a commitment
– Organize my business—- Create my offering
– Figure out what I want to do—–Uncover my passion
– Find a job—– Make a job
– Find a place to live—— Enjoy living
I only just started, but I am excited to carry this approach over into other parts of my thinking and create more affirmations in my life!
