Give yourself a break today -

Dear Friends,

Whatever you do today, make sure you give yourself a break today. By that I mean, go easy on yourself. Take a few moments of quiet to see what messages you are giving yourself: "go faster!" "finish this up, now!" "you'll never get it all done! etc, etc, etc. Part of growing spiritually is to take a look at the inner messages that drive you to go faster, to achieve more, to do more. You look at those messages by inviting them from your unconscious into your conscious mind.

Whatever those messages are: give yourself a break from them. Say: "well, that's interesting, but I'm still going to sit here with my cup of tea and enjoy the full moon." Don't go hard on the harsh voices, either. Listen with respect, and let them know you've heard, but you're simply going to choose differently.

As you open in love to yourself by giving yourself a break, you'll find that it's easier to allow others to have a break, too.
Warmly,
meb
