“Jennifer, whatever you focus on, you will experience.
When you talk about “what is” or “what was,” even if you’re just explaining to a friendly ear, you project more of the same into the future. If you ask more than you give thanks, you’ll believe less in your own power. And if you insist that it’s hard and that you’re lonely, you’ll find that it is, and you are.
Yet, always you can choose to focus on what’s good.
Tallyho,
The Universe”
This particular whisper from The Universe really struck me. It took me a long time to see just how much I was holding myself back – even when I thought it was something else holding me, it was always me in costume.
I was so focused on the bad things for so long, it’s no wonder I feel so much lighter now. I even started to type out the bad things, but I stopped myself – I don’t want to project those into the future.
I do know that one of the major things that I’m relieved of is guilt. I no longer feel guilty, because I’m no longer NOT taking care of myself. I set goals, and I achieve them because I CAN. I can do whatever I want to do – and the mental freedom of that is staggering.
