GET ON WITH LIVING AND LOVING

As Leo Buscaglia said, "Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever."We don't. So let's aim to release all the things that block living and loving, such as regrets, resentments, guilt, shame, blame, hate, fear, and fault finding. Let's let them go and make room for love, compassion, hope, joy, courage, wisdom, faith, strength and more.Consider this intention-anchoring activity: Several times throughout the day, take deep breaths. As you do, imagine drawing all the energy of those love-blocking things into that breath. Imagine expelling them in the exhale. Now breathe in all that's love related. If this helpful, repeat as often as you wish. I like to do this outdoors and add bubble-blowing to the activity. I imagine the released stuff carried off and away in the bubbles.

Of course, there are many more ways to approach freeing ourselves from guilts and grudges, including professional therapy to work through deep-seated issues. My suggested activities are meant to strengthen intentions and to use imagination to build well-being. As Adele Brookman said, "Use your imagination not to scare yourself to death but to inspire yourself to life."
