Language of Letting Go - Jan. 3 - Nurturing Self Care
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Nurturing Self Care
.. .there isn't a guidebook for setting boundaries. Each of us has our own guide inside ourselves. If we continue to work at recovery, our boundaries will develop. They will get healthy and sensitive. Our selves will tell us what we need to know, and we'll love ourselves enough to listen.
--Beyond Codependency
What do we need to do to take care of ourselves?
Listen to that voice inside. What makes you angry? What have you had enough of? What don't you trust? What doesn't feel right? What can't you stand? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you want? Need? What don't you want and need? What do you like? What would feel good?
In recovery, we learn that self care leads us on the path to God's will and plan for our life. Self-care never leads away from our highest good; it leads toward it.
Learn to nurture that voice inside. We can trust ourselves. We can take care of ourselves. We are wiser than we think. Our guide is within, ever present. Listen to, trust, and nurture that guide.
Today, I will affirm that lama gift to the Universe and myself. I will remember that nurturing self care delivers that gift in its highest form.

Today, when I feel disturbed for any reason, I take pause and try to think why something is setting me off balance.
My inner voice, my instinct, that part of my heart that knows more than my head...these are all part of my "spirit". Nobody has ever seen them, I can't "prove" they exist, but once I learned to listen to my spirit and let it guide me, I found a good path that is safe, peaceful and lovely.
Hugs
