DAY 11 (WATER) - Exploring Your Relationships
The way we know we exist is through relationships. We have relationships with family members, friends, co-workers, animals, nature and God/Buddha/Allah/Universe etc. We have relationships with our car, computer, food, household objects, money and sex.
The way you relate to every person, object, and thing is a reflection of the way you relate to yourself. Begin by examining your relationships.
The way you relate with others and experience life is usually:
- a projection or a mirror of the qualities you suppress or do not accept within yourself
- a reflection of the way people related to you when you were young, or
- a reflection of the core beliefs that you have about life.
By taking the time to examine your relationships you will understand and unweave negative relationship patterns.
Affirmations for the Day
"I am loved and loveable." "I love deeply and fully, and I am loved deeply and fully."
Today
Choose another area of your home to clean. If you do not know where to start, bedrooms, bedroom closets, and bathrooms are a good place. Clean that corner that you have not touched since you moved in. While you clean, say affirmations, such as: "As I clean, I am creating the space for new opportunities to flow my way".
Then, notice your recurring emotional patterns, (like protecting yourself from other peoples' judgments) and love the patterns and accept them. Affirm, "I am willing to release this pattern of ______________________ and accept that I am safe and supported by God/Buddha/Allah/Universe".
Good luck and see you on Day 12:)
