Day 28: 40 Day Fast~
Friday, October 19, 2012
Today my word is
PURGING. I am getting rid of the old to make room for the new. Over the past
few years I have removed over 60 bags of crap I no longer needed, in addition
to donating over 30 bags of clothes and 100’s of books.
I am at the end
of my process.
There is a show
on TV right now called Hoarders. I can’t tell you how depressing it makes me to
watch it. In fact it saddens me because I know that I have been there. I have
been a hoarder. Perhaps not to the severity of some of the people they have
filmed. But I have held onto things
that have consumed me. I have held onto things that don’t have value to the
world yet hold significant value to me. In fact, the very piles and piles of
paper that I have refused to get rid of in some way gave me a sense of value.
If I held onto documents that I researched 20 years ago it was somehow proof
that my life wasn’t a waste. This mess that we live in isn’t just external…
what you see on the outside. Some people might watch this show and judge it…
judge them... judging us saying to themselves; WOW! How can they live like that?
Yet what people
fail to recognize and see is that if that
is what their world looks like on the outside for everyone to see… just imagine
what their world looks like on the
inside!
It has taken me
years to stop hoarding. I have released so much of my past and removed so many things
that just served to clutter my world.
I now understand
the importance of LETTING GO!
So the next time
you see that show or know someone who is holding onto things that seem to
consume them… compassion is what we should express because I believe we are all
hoarders!
Finally, I am at
the end of my purging process this is the last round…
I understand
that hoarding was a form of LIMITATION. Holding onto these things was blocking
the good from coming to me. I was placing value on the things that I held onto
believing that if I let it go I would be nothing… I would have nothing… rather
than acknowledging that I lack nothing and that I am abundant and unlimited.
“It is certain that you cannot believe in
abundance while identifying yourself with lack. Learn how to think abundantly.
Think of the vastness of everything, the limitless of space, the numberless
grains of sand on the seashore… Lean to see abundance in everything, to
multiply the good you already possess. Be consciously one with the law of
abundance. Expectancy will speed your progress.” ~ Ernest Holmes
I am looking
around and smiling because I know that once I am done this is done. My space
will reflect what I am feeling on the inside, which is peace, quiet, stillness,
tranquility, simplicity, lightness and less is more! I am putting a HUGE emphasis
on the words, simple and less.
There really
isn’t a lot left to do…
I am saying
goodbye to an old chapter of my life the chapters where I held onto useless,
meaningless, worthless, and insignificant crap. I am releasing all those things
that I believed represented me.
None of it represents
me.
I am too HUGE
for the little things I have been holding onto.
My apartment
colors right now were exactly what I needed at the time… it was filled with
bright reds and oranges, yellows…
During that time
I needed colors that symbolized warmth, colors chosen to feel safe, security,
strength, happiness, brightness, LOVE… that’s what these color meant to me…
stability completion…
And a now I have
all that…
I AM ALL THAT.
Its no longer
necessary that it be on the walls… reflected on the outside… is all part of me.
It is the very essence of me!
So today its
time for a change…
New colors… new
start… new day… new dawn!
What am I
calling forth now is very much still the same as before… but the colors I’ve
chosen now represent, tranquility,
peace, fullness, abundance, tranquility, peace, stillness, joy, receptivity,
acceptance, infinite possibilities, forward movement, evolution, expansion and
more and more LOVE.
And so it is.
I am
tranquility!
I am peace!
“There is truly no need to be concerned even
when the trees appear to bare, as long as we are conscious of the truth that
the law is even now operating within to bring forth fruit after its own kind…”
The Infinite Way
“As we learn to enjoy the beauties and
bounties of nature, with no desire to hoard any of them, and with no fear that
there is less than an infinite supply of them, so we learn to enjoy the fruitage
of our infinite supply.” The Infinite Way
I AFFIRM
I expect my good.
I am entitled to all of it.
I believe the Law of Good will bring to
me every good thing I desire and blessings for everyone I come in contact with.
I know that I am drawing my good to me; everything
within me accepts this truth.
I expect favorable results and live from
this place.
I am peace, love and light every day.
I am HUGE and living in the bigness of
how powerful I am and in all that I do.
And so it is~
