New Years Resolution-Love Thyself

A new year is a wonderful time to start fresh and although we start fresh every day, now is a time to put it all in perspective.

We know there is no reason to wait until January 1st to begin taking care of ourselves. I have been "shown" and believe that it is important to start the day by connecting with our Higher Guiding Spirit, (I pray and do a small meditation prior to climbing from bed) then in line of importance, we must take care of ourselves next. From that point the rest of the world falls somewhere in line according to the person or events importance.

We get so caught up in taking care of others we forget about ourselves. The saying is, love thy neighbor as thyself. We all are good at loving others, but remember, it says "as thyself", so no need to run off and take care of everyone else, unless we take care of ourselves first. We must love ourselves or we cannot love others and others have a hard time loving us. We are the only ones that complete us. We are the only ones who can "make" us anything. The truth is that no one can "make" me have any emotion, it is up to me to allow it.

It is not easy to take care of ourselves if we have not been already doing it as those around us will be shocked and at times act out if we are not putting them first. Guilt is a prevailing tool others may use when we step back from them and step towards ourselves. But remember, no one can "make" us feel any emotion.

I know I said that we do not have to wait until January 1st to change but now is a great time to make changes as New Year's Resolutions are widely accepted. I am asking that we learn the importance of "No" to others and "Yes" to ourselves. Therefore, New Years is a wonderful time to begin this practice as changes in attitudes and behaviors are more common at this time. We can just say "Well, I made a resolution to say "No" to everything until I can say "Yes" to me." This will allow you to pull back from everyone and everything, then gradually you will be open to loving yourself and finding your wants, needs and desires and most importantly, your bliss. Once you have shown others your importance and that you choose you because you are worthy of choosing, you can slowly bring back into your life those events and people that bring you joy. You will also find that in loving yourself you will attract better friends, relationships and healthier people.

I would ask that in this the New Year, we take the time to love the one person that matters most, ourselves. In giving to our self, we will be able to give to others. The positive attitudes and changes will bring so much more than you will ever imagine. Forgiveness of ourselves and acceptance of ourselves are wonderful places to start. Everyday I say "I love and approve of myself over and over", especially during the most difficult of days. I look myself in the eyes and tell Abbie that I love her, and I do. I will acknowledge that it felt odd at first and now it is a part of my life. I do not look at my hair, weight, feelings, anything, I just look at me, eye to eye in the mirror, soul to soul. It is freeing.

I would ask that this year, we take care of us, love us and then pass that all encompassing love to our neighbors. Imagine a world where we love each person who walks past us, lives with us, works with us, that we talk to or that we see, as much as we love ourselves.

Then we will know the true meaning of "Love thy neighbor AS THYSELF".

Hello, my name is Abbie. I am Clairvoyant, Clairaudient, Clairsentient and a Medium.

I have decided to write an occasional blog to help you better understand life as I see it, hear it, and feel it. I will include information that has helped me and I hope will help you also. I hope to include books, quotes, meditations and various websites. I will not always be serious and some things will be included "just because".

I will write about life as a Psychic and my own personal experiences.

I will not do readings for anyone, but at some time may allow comments.

Basically, I am doing this for me...a virtual diary.

Thanks for stopping by....

Abbie
