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.

In The Seeds We Plant Series #34, I share my thoughts on how our relationships can affect our self-worth and how critical it is that we choose relationships that edify us and help our children do the same through role modeling,

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!

Fuel is the mental nourishment (self-talk), rest, activities, and who and what we believe in that will affect how we respond to events and ultimately teach our children. Providing the right type of nourishment is essential to a smooth-running body. Every aspect of our health (emotional, financial, mental, physical, social, and spiritual) impacts others. For example, how we care for ourselves physically depends heavily on what we think about ourselves (mentally, emotionally, and spiritually).

As you go about today, think about how you nourish your body. Is it working for you? If so, are you passing some of these healthy behaviors down to future generations? If not, do you see your child or loved one mimicking your fuel choices and suffering from them, too?

You have the power to change the thoughts behind unhealthy behaviors and to continue healthy ones.

Thanks for listening!

Emotions and feelings are data to let us know our path. They can lead us down through dark tunnels and dead ends or to a spiritually enlightened path. But, it is through our emotions and feelings that we can remember who we are. We can see the divine spirit that we are, life's meaning, and purpose. It isn't the experience that we need to focus on. Nor is it people. But it is that which is inside us--what we allow to inhabit inside us that we need to examine. We are greater than our experiences, and no life event defines us.

Jealousy closes our eyes to the truth of who we are. We compare ourselves to others and desire to live their lives instead of our own. We forget that our lives have a divine purpose. It's time to remove jealousy from your inner garden and replace it with the Truth.
