Create A Generational Love Cycle With Timika S Chambers

Millions of people struggle with achieving and maintaining optimal weight. As caregivers and parents, we can encourage our children to listen to their bodies to help them consume the right balance, moderation, and variety of foods. And as we teach our children about healthy nutrition, we reinforce the concepts within ourselves.

Even when you think about the principle Hara hachi bu (residents of Okinawa, Japan, 80/20 eating rule and living healthy, long lives), the underlying principle is listening to our bodies.

In Healing from the Inside Out Series #5: Tradition, I share how my children helped me to let go of a common traditional thought. Some things are worth fighting for.

Another powerful thing we can do for ourselves and those we care for is encourage them to be their best friend. We accept and love ourselves first, even through our life experiences, knowing that we deserve to care for ourselves no matter what.

In other words, being your best friend is critical to self-care and breaking the generational cycle of pain.

In Healing from the Inside Out Series #5: Trust Yourself, I share how trust is critical in overcoming darkness. The more we build our trust in ourselves, the more we can help future generations do the same. When we trust ourselves, we speak up for ourselves and others. We see different paths instead of feeling stuck. We increase our chances of doing the right thing at the right time and often avoid more severe consequences.

When we remove guilt from our inner garden, our Healing from the Inside Out Series #4: Removing Guilt Weeds, I discuss guilt and how we must assess our inner garden for this often debilitating and life-draining state. Guilt is not an emotion/feeling we must live with for a lifetime; it doesn't describe who we are. Our spiritual fruit has a better chance of yielding the harvest we need.

In The Seeds We Plant Series #33: Forgiveness, I share some personal experiences with putting my experiences in a healthy perspective and helping my children do the same. I discuss the importance of introspection as a necessary action in letting go.

Shame is another powerful emotion that lets you know you have veered off the path of your truth. Like fear, it can cloud your vision if you allow it to grow inside you. You have the power to release shame and prevent its nutrition-robbing abilities. It may look like it belongs to you, but it doesn't. See shame for what it is and refuse to allow it to grow inside of you.

doesn't It may look like it belongs to you, but it doesn’t. See shame for what it is and refuse to allow it to grow inside of you. Anything that doesn't belong to you always rises to the top — your mind. Through your mind, we have the power to remove this weed shame, which will enable your spiritual fruit to grow. 

Your mind (inner garden) will help you identify shame, and as you sit quietly with yourself, you can remove the roots and growth inside of you. In its place, you can replant the spiritual fruit of peace by using affirmations and principles to ground yourself.

Regarding projected pain, it is better to give back than receive. When you experience anger, jealousy, shame, guilt, and the like, or when your emotions and feelings go to another level (e.g., blaming, badgering yourself and others in thoughts and words, and unwelcome or unhealthy physical contact), you continually grow the seeds inside you. 

We can return angry, hateful, divisive, and demoralizing actions and words to their rightful owner before they take root and encourage our children to do the same.

Thanks for listening! Please share with anyone you feel would benefit from it.

Our perspective about a life event often shows us our underlying beliefs about ourselves, others, and life. As students of life, we can look at our experience with an awakening. Every life event serves a divine purpose. Each experience is an opportunity to replant the spiritual seeds (kindness, joy, love, and the like) inside us instead of allowing weeds (harmful/unhealthy thoughts) to rob us of an abundant life. In episode #2 of Healing from the Inside Out, I share my thoughts about anger, a powerful emotion.

As always, make this lifetime great because you still can!
