Sometimes things just aren't right.....

I was out of sorts yesterday. Things just didn't feel right. I was hungry nearly all day and felt grumpy. I don't have many days like this, so when they come I spend my time working out what is wrong and what I can do about it.

Actually, days like these serve to give me a new perspective of my life; what I have, what I am grateful for and that I really am happy. It's like a photo negative; the darker side of yourself, from where you can observe the lighter part and accept all parts of yourself. Of course, we all have dark and light within ourselves. It is important to accept all of yourself, happy or sad, 'good' or 'bad' (those descriptions really grate for me!). Acceptance of yourself as being perfectly yourself means that you can function in the world without judgement, without prejudice and without a feeling of lack because you are in a state of fulfillment, you are whole.

You are the only one who really matters because if you love yourself, you can love the world around you. Lack or feelings of inadequacy and insecurity come when we cannot accept and love every part of ourselves. We need to look within; to be true to ourselves. When we love ourselves, the universe flows freely; creating the life and the world that we want and dream of.

Lack, insecurity and inadequacy come from our internal belief systems. Beliefs about ourselves are made up of everything anyone has ever said to us - really! These systems are so powerful that most of the time we cannot see or know that our beliefs drive every thought that we have. There are many, many methods and techniques to help clear away old, useless debris. As a life coach, I have learned how to help people on to the road to new, empowering beliefs.

Next post, I will take you through a belief busting exercise. Tune in next time!
