Life
starting success
with an emotional cleanse
Over the holidays many of us over did it.
We ate more than we should have. We
spent more money than we had. The enjoyment
of the holidays has gone and left us with
excess weight and credit card bills. If you are like
many women, me included, your New Year’s goals
involved promises to eat less, exercise more and
spend less. If you were serious in your resolutions,
you already completed your ten-day juice cleanse
and and vowed to stop using your credit cards.
While those resolutions may seem difficult,
without an “emotional cleansing” you may be
limiting your success in achieving your goals for
a better you. We are all in some ways dealing with
the aftermath of events that occurred in the past.
These emotions can significantly impact our success
and keep us from achieving the ideal life we
seek and deserve.
To rid yourself of the emotional baggage, the first
thing you must do is identify the issue that keeps
entering your mind robbing you of precious time
and energy. Did someone say or do something to
you that you can’t get past? Was something given
to someone else that should have been yours?
Did someone take something from you that didn’t
belong to them? What are the thoughts that keep
you up at night?
Once you identify the issue, what is the source?
Why are you feeling that way? Is it something that
you did or failed to do that resulted in the loss? Is
it something that you had no control over? It may
be difficult to accept, but we may be to blame,
at least to some degree, or alternatively, it may
have been completely out of your hands. In any
event, if you can learn from it, you have received
an invaluable life lesson. Failure can be disguised
as success in its infancy stages. If it wasn’t your
doing, why are you carrying the blame or regret?
Now that you know what you are feeling and
why, it is time to find a way to let it go and move
forward. The person that wronged you has more
than likely moved on, or the circumstances are
such that you simply cannot alter the past. In
any event, why continue to waste emotions on
something or someone you cannot change? Find
forgiveness in your heart, not to unburden the
offender, but to unburden yourself. That, and
because God requires it. Ephesians 4:32. Ask God
to help you surrender the strongholds over you.
You may have just begun living your ideal life.
Trust that God’s plans for you are far better then
you could have even imagined. Jeremiah 29:11.
Often, a closed door is really an open window.
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long as the closed door that
we do not see the one that has been opened for
us.”-Hellen Keller.
Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about
everything. Tell God what you need, and thank
him for all he has done. Then you will experience
God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard hearts and minds
as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7.
