Steph's Ripples

There are no good or bad. There are only experiences. Something I finally learn is to stop seeing life in black and white. I used to be so critical and judgemental of everything that happens in my life. I would wonder and feel upset when things are not going the way I want. A few things I can reflect on: First, life is never going to be how you want it. There will always be something else on the way. Second, if you see something as bad, then you will see that event in the negative light. It could be due to past pain, fear or worry. However, if you see that event as an experience you need to move forward, a learning step, a lesson to be learnt, then you can appreciate what it is instead of resisting. My favourite line these days is everything comes as a blessing in disguise. Third, believe that the universe is working with you. Having read "Life loves You' by Robert Holden and Louise Hay', one of the most amazing and powerful messages I took with me is that Lif...

This is inspired by Louise Hay: How to love yourself. We are so quick to criticism and judgement due to fear. Th only way you can heal yourself is by accepting and loving yourself. Don't take anything that happens to you more than what it is, creating the worse scenarios. Be kind and gentle with yourself. Select thoughts that will empower you. Nurture. Plant good positive seeds. It's ok to make mistakes while learning. Everything takes time. Anything you do the first time will feel uncomfortable. Be kind to your mind by doing positive affirmations which build you up. Don't be judgemental on your thoughts. You are lovable because you exist. Don't blame yourself. Do not fall into the pattern of guilt, punishment a pain. Respond to life in a kind way. Relax. Breathe and breathe out, let go. Release all fear, tension. Be patient, be open. Everything will be revealed to you when you are ready. Allow things to happen.

I'm in the process of reading the book 'Life loves you' by Louise Hay and Robert Holden. I'm deeply fascinated by the approach of the book. It feels like you are on this writing/self-discovery journey with them. This personal account of every step seems genuine and inclusive.  Live loves you. This is a such a positive affirmation. There is no judgement, no justification, no criticism. It's a simple statement with so much power. Truly, I feel like sometimes the world is working against us for some reasons and even though you know it's all made-up in your mind, you can't let go of the suffering. You have to give time to let the thoughts go, emotions fade away and breathe. During that instant, remember life loves you. There is no one against you. If you don't let the sunshine in and remain in darkness, that's only because you chose to. The sun is going to shine whether you feel good or bad. It's always there. However, if you chose not to le...
