June Challenge Remix

My June challenge has to be expanded, instead of it only being about releasing the past, I now realize that I have to include my original challenge to the mix.  I tried to leave it out because I felt as though it would be almost impossible for me to succeed in this challenge but after today, I know that I have to do it for my wellbeing.  I challenge myself to stop gossiping, and that includes listening to and passing on second hand information. So that means staying out of other people's drama, leaving my two cents out of the equation, minding my own business. Louise Hay said that when she decided to stop gossiping, lol, she didn't have anything to talk about for a month.  So here I go and I will check  in to let you know how it is going.  

June Challenge - Releasing the Past

This is probably going to be one of the most difficult challenges that I have attempted so far and it took me a few days to narrow it down actually I made my final choice about five minutes ago. I am going to release the past.  All last month I did affirmations where I stated over and over twice a day that I released the past and then blew my candles out and returned to talking about the past.  I am a storyteller and I always end up going into my past as a source for my stories well now I would like look forward instead of looking backwards. I would love to release traumatic stories, hurtful stories, sad stories from my childhood because they have been conjured up over and over again and every time I bring one of them forward, I subject my body to the physical and mental memories.  It is time to let those stories fall away, the past is over. "Hip hip hooray, there is joy in everyday," and that is what I plan to focus on for the month of June and beyond.

May Challenge-Daily Affirmations

So the month of May seemed to come to an end way too fast, I mean, the famous 2012 is already half over, how did that happen, I swear time is speeding up. I am so happy with the results of this challenge, I feel a lot more grounded and at peace.  I did affirmations every morning and at bedtime. The above photo is my new altar created for my morning and evening affirmation ritual.  This space is evolving and the poster represents my breaking out of the rut that I was in. I am continuing my affirmations because it really helps me to notice my mind/thoughts and to catch them before they get out of hand and end up creating dis-ease in my physical body.
