Eating poorly affects the mind. Lots
of sugar and spice do not make everything nice.
The first step in living an easier life is trust. Trust is the foundation for all our
relationships. So what does trust look like in action?
·
Trust knows there is a guidance system moving
through all things, especially your own lives, and the belief that this force
is benevolent.
·
Trust is the faith that life is an open love
affair and not a dead end experience.
·
Trust is being willing to sit still and remain
silent without trying to run your friend's, families' and your acquaintances
lives.
·
Trust is also being willing to jump in full
throttle knowing the universe will stand behind you in your outrageous passion
providing resources, support, ideas and chance encounters that bring your
contributions into full expression.
·
Trust is being able to let go of the personal
mind and its chatter because we know there is a greater mind that can run the
universe with ease.
·
Trust involves looking beyond circumstances and
appearances into the very center of well-being.
·
Trust insures a relaxed body: when one trusts,
the need to control dissipates, leaving the body supple and calm.
·
Trust releases us from feelings of urgency.
·
Trust creates feelings of belonging.
Even though we cannot trust our behaviors to be perfect or
to always be congruent, we can trust that who we are is perfect, consistent and
congruent.
The following affirmations are offered to help you develop
your ability to trust. If the affirmations seem too far- fetched or out of
reach for you, then add a qualifier. A qualifier makes the affirmation
something you can believe. For example, if the affirmation is "I can trust."
And that does not feel right for you, add a qualifier "I am beginning to
believe it may be safe to trust ." "It's safe to" is a master qualifier. You
can add it to any affirmation to make it more believable. "It is safe to trust."
When I hear the affirmation, "I can trust.", it still is not right for me. I
have to add more. My best take on that idea or my highest thought about trust
would be. "I can trust that which is trustworthy."
Affirmations are supposed to
be soul-soothing words, but it's really up to us to put the idea or intent
behind the affirmation and to develop a form that works for us.
I trust myself to love and cherish me.
I trust me to do the best for me.
I trust myself to be realistic about my shortcomings.
I meet more and more trustworthy people.
I am willing to meet more and more trustworthy people.
I trust myself to be more realistic about my short-comings.
I trust the universal pattern of well-being knowing that the
plan for my good resounds in my life and in my affairs.
Trusting life does not mean being stupid. Do not leave money on the dash of your unlocked car. The universe does
not condone stupidity. We need to continue to act with responsible well-informed choices. Until we can trust ourselves we do not have the ability
to distinguish between what we can and cannot trust. You must, you must,
develop your trust. Trust me on that!
