Need a mOMent?


Need to feel better about yourself? Not saying the things you need to hear? Not meditating on the right thoughts? Not feeding your Spirit the right kind of food?

We were told long ago what to focus on. Somehow we've replaced that life giving, love sharing focused thinking with negative thinking and complaining. We are not better for it. We are not healthier for it. The statistics show people are more depressed and out of balance than ever before. We are attracting all the wrong things in our lives. We want health and we focus on illness. We want happiness and we focus on sad situations. We want more love and yet we criticise the people we love the most. We want more money and we focus on our bills. Let's change what we know we can change.

One of my personal favorite NIV scriptures (I have so many) is Philippians 4:8:

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Let's break it down a bit. Thinking is a VERB. An action. You can control your thougths - or thoughts can control you. You can either swim in the ocean or you can be taken out with the tide. The choice is yours.

Be mindful of the things you're thinking and DELIBERATELY, CONSCIOUSLY think better thoughts. Think better thoughts about yourself, your circumstances, your health, your finances, your relationships, the present moment, the future, the world at large.

True, noble, right, pure, LOVELY, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy! Great words. Even greater thoughts! More powerful than you will ever know in this lifetime, or make a change in your thoughts today and see if you notice a difference.

Here are a few positive Love Dialogue* thoughts I've come up with recently. I think these are probably some of the most important things I've ever written. Seriously.

Love Dialogue* is a concept I've created consisting of loving yourself, healing yourself, being yourself and caring for yourself through inner and outter dialogue interdependent, interrelating and interacting through grace, kindness, appreciation and need I say, L O V E. It is something we profoundly need in our lives today more than ever before it seems. More about that later.

If one or two jumps off the page at you, give it a good think.

Love Dialogue*

Love yourself as if loving a friend whose faults you're oblivious to.

Love yourself as if loving a friend whose limitations you do not see.

Heal yourself as if you've never known sickness.

Heal yourself from within along with the contemporary from without.

Gaze at yourself like you are gazing at the most beautiful, rare and exotic flower.

Love yourself like the true essence of your life depends on it.

Love yourself as if inside of you exists all spiritual enlightenment, all healing, all wisdom, all love.

Love is a sweet melody. Sing something sweet to yourself.

Love yourself by not associating with or identifying with illness, despite what your body and mind might say. Your Spirit says you are healed.

Love yourself unconditionally.

Love yourself consciously and deliberately.

Love yourself with all the love you've ever given to and all the love you've ever received from others. Now love yourself deeper.

Love the voice within that speaks of, manifests and returns love.

Love yourself like a child with all innocense and curiosity. You've so much to learn about yourself.

Love yourself enough to dream and believe that your dreams can come true.

Love yourself with pure, loving thoughts.

Remove all criticism from your Love Dialogue*.

Make a declaration of love, healing and grace for yourself everyday. Declare what is to be.

Love yourself enough not to take another repetitive, negative thought with you into the next moment. This moment.

Love yourself enough to start hoping for the best instead of expecting the worst.

Love yourself enough to start imagining your dreams coming true.
