Accepting and Allowing August In

Life is, for the most part, the way we see it.  So, when life’s not fair – it may be time to check your focus” -Robert Schuller

Every month I choose a word to focus on as an intention for that month and this month’s word is  “Acceptance”.

Accepting my health, my body, my mental and emotional state in the moment as they are.

Accepting that every feeling state can change and improve if I allow it  and cease resisting it.

August, Acceptance and…

Another “A” word, Allow.

An affirmation for every day this month could be, “I allow Peace and Love to energize my body, and heal whatever needs healing. I accept this process with Patience”.

When I was thinking about August,  I began playing with acronyms and here are something’s I came up.

  • A Acknowledge, Acceptance, Awareness, Action, Allow
  • U Uplift, Unconditional Love
  • G Give, Gather, Gratitude
  • U Undo, Unearth, Uncover (those things that no longer serve you)
  • S Sustenance, Surprises, Sunshine, Seeking, Self love and Self Care (is necessary, not selfish)
  • T Thankfulness for all that IS working in your life

What words would you like to add?
How might you apply some of these concepts to yourself care program this month?

Self care is a cornerstone of self love and self love will lead us to greater physical, spiritual and emotional health.

When one mind is changed the world is changed. -CIM

I am committed to changing my own mind by taking pinky steps when change feels challenging.

Change is a gift. And it is difficult for our minds to believe and yet resistance is a gift too.

Change and resistance offer us opportunities to go deeper into our process of who we are and what we are seeking in terms of having a body we feel great about.

I read this quote the other day, “I have learned to use the word impossible with great caution”. I love that as I believe in what is possible, rather than what is impossible.

What is your word for this month?

I welcome your sharing that here.

And one more thing from me.  I offer complimentary consultations about my one on one weight release mentoring and I am interviewing for my next 12 week  Body Image Mastery course. Please feel free to email me to set up a time to speak, laura@onepinky.com

A cheerful mind has always been a perfect guide to a healthy body.

Thank You lyrics

Lalalalalala…

You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know why you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
For your selflessness–my admiration
For everything you’ve done
You know I’m bound–I’m bound to thank you for it

Lalalalalala… 10 times

Hey, hey
You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know why you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
And I never could have gone this far without you
For everything you’ve done
You know I’m bound–I’m bound to thank you for it

Lalalalalala…

Oh I want to thank you for so many gifts
You gave me love and tenderness
I want to thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity,
The love, and the honesty that you gave to me
I want to thank you, show my gratitude,
My love and my respect for you
I want to thank you

Oh, I want to thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
Thank you.

I want to thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you,
Thank you, thank you…

Day 77 -Clarity is Power…

“With clarity and focus, I bring my dreams to life

You are so much more than you think you are…”

-Laura

For today, get quiet and play with me here….for the sake of self love and inner peace…

Please get quiet and reflect upon this idea even if for a minute or two.  Imagine this light of love and inclusion going before you preparing the way.  Imagine the activities of the day ahead and imagine yourself as this light of Oneness and say YES to being it. Even if your mind travels or wanders to “where you need to be” or your mind says, “how silly this is”…be with all the thoughts, welcome them all and go back to the light and breathe into it, imagining that we are all ONE and you are a huge part of this universal oneness.

You really are so much more than you believe yourself to be.  You are perfect, beautiful, the best idea of God … exactly as you are!

I invite you to prove it by practicing this quiet time as often as you can remember.

Blessings to you and Love, XO

Laura

I can never speak too often or to frequently of the importance of Gratitude. Welcome the time this moment, this minute, this hour, this day,  this week, this month, this year to practice Gratitude….never put off Gratitude until tomorrow. What you are Grateful for in this moment will come back to you three-fold in the next.
