I release that which is not for my higher good.
Who the hell knows what your higher good is anyway.
I release that which is not for my higher good.
Ha, she is holding on tightly to tons of crap.
I release that which is not for my higher good.
Let her be. This is a process. She is doing perfectly.
I release that which is not for my higher good.
It's about time.
I release that which is not for my higher good.
Including thoughts and feelings and physical things.
I release that which is not for my higher good.
You go, girl!
I release that which is not for my higher good.
Including people!
I release EVERYTHING that is not for my higher good.
What is her higher good anyway? What does that mean
I release everything that is not for my higher good.
It means the best and brightest self and life she can be/have.
I release everything that is not for my higher good.
Does that mean no more chocolate?
I release everything that is not for my higher good.
I am NOT giving up those fudgy brownies.
I release everything that is not for my higher good.
Excess is not for her higher good. It's nothing to do with the actual brownie itself.
I release everything that is not for my higher good.
Let's bring this into today, this moment, right now. What are you letting go of today???
I release everything that is not for my higher good.
Today I am letting go of fearful thoughts, and ancient expectations about what marriage and husbands "should" be.
I release everything that is not for my higher good.
Bravo!

Random Affirmations
After reading Sanaya Roman's book, Living with Joy, I typed a list of all of the included affirmations that resonated with me. I chose a couple of hundred affirmations that reflect what I want to be creating in my heart and body and mind in 2012.
Then I printed them out on pretty paper, cut them into strips and folded them up into little squares and put them into a pretty metal bucket that I have decorated with stickers and powerful words. Part of my practice this year is going to be to draw one every day (or every other day) to work with in here and in my spiral journal as well.
The first one I just drew is "I do things that nurture me" and I just worked with that one.
I was having trouble deciding WHICH affirmation to work with on any given day, and that "choice anxiety" stopped me from doing this work at all, so I had this idea of drawing random affirmations and seeing what came up. This takes off the pressure of having to decide!

My art play heals me.
My art play heals me.
Ha! You have to be DOING art play for it to heal you.
My art play heals me.
Hey, don't be so hard on her. She's not been feeling well.
My art play heals me.
It does but only if you DO it.
My art play heals me.
You need to sit at your art table more.
My art play heals me.
I wonder how we could play at the art table more.
My art play heals me.
Does it really? If you really believed that, wouldn't you be DOING it?
My art play heals me.
I am longing to play at the art table but I need your permission.

Please, please, let me play with the crayons and pretty papers again.
My art play heals me.
I don't know why you are being so stubborn about this.
My art play heals me.
Custer's last stand I guess. The final holdout, the last barrier to get through. Queen Puritanica is freezing us out.
My art play heals me.
I don't care about Queen P. Aren't we stronger than she is?
My art play heals me.
Queen P is probably afraid. We should show her some compassion.
My art play heals me.
What is that old biddy afraid of?
My art play heals me.
Of losing control probably. Of us frittering our time away on art instead of making money.
My art play heals me.
Hey, idiots. I am here, you know. No need to talk about me behind my back.
My art play heals me.
Ok, we here you, Queen P. You know that you will still be the Queen, even if I can play more at the art table.
My art play heals me.
Ha!
My art play heals me.
You just want to get rid of me.
My art play heals me.
We want to get rid of your oppressive, stifling ways, not you specifically. We know that you have many gifts to give and lessons to teach us about Queendom and authority and power. The good power, not the destructive power.
My art play heals me.
Hey, this writing play is healing us too!
My art play heals me.
Time to go upstairs right now and do a page in the art journal.

Just look back at the last many years. Everything has ALWAYS been provided to her, exactly what she needed. She is in the right place and doing her soul work. That is all she needs to be doing for the provisions to be coming.
Everything I need is being provided to me.
But I want MORE!
Everything I need is being provided to me.
Right-o. We don't have ENOUGH.
Everything I need is being provided to me.
At all times and in all ways.

It's a fact.
Maybe right now, today, but you can't predict if you will have enough money to pay for all these supplements next week or next month.
Everything I need is being provided to me.
I cannot argue with that.

I wish you would do some more art so we can prove you right about this.

I Am Stronger
Than I Have Ever Been Before
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
OMG...are you SERIOUS???
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
No you're not, you're weak from the chemo.
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
We don't FEEL very strong right now.
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
For cripes sakes, you can't even summon the energy to take a damned walk.
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
Not true. You were much stronger before all of this cancer crap happened.
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
You are weak, girlfriend, just admit it.
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
No.
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
There are other kinds of strength besides physical body strength.
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
Well, I'll give you that.
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
Strength is both inner and outer and we are pretty damned strong, I must say! Look at what we've been through, look at what we've survived!
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
Yes!
I am stronger than I have ever been before.
And even if you don't feel strong right now, you will feel stronger and stronger as the days and weeks go by.

Day 3- I Am Enough. I Do Enough.
I Have Enough.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Then why are you continually thinking of what to DO next?
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But what others think really DOES matter.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Not to look at your bank account, ha!
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
If you really believed that, would we be in this situation?
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
It's not that simple.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I disagree... it IS that simple. Anne Marie is perfect exactly as she is, without any add-ons or more things to do.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But what about the list of projects hanging on the wall?
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
She can still dream of putting her work into the world.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But is she only going to DREAM it or is she going to DO it?
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
She can do both. It's just a matter of discernment. It's a matter of not getting carried away with the DO-ing.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Yes. She can relax when she needs to, especially now.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I don't think it will ever be enough. There is SO much that I want, want, want to have and to do and to be.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Let's get to the bottom of this.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
You are encouraging yourself to relax and slow down and that is so good for you!
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
How would our life be different if we operated from this premise?
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.

Day 2- I Am Enough. I Do Enough.
I Have Enough.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Oh boy, not this again!
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
No, no. That is not true. There is always something more to do, to be, to have.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
You will never stop shopping, that's for sure.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
I don't THINK so!
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
One wouldn't know this to look at your purchasing history.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Imagine what it would be like if we really LIVED from this belief!
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
Yes, we would get through life much more slowly and calmly.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
And we'd have more money for bigger things.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
You'll never live from this belief. The opposite is too ingrained in your head.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
But there is always something else.
I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
LOL.

I am enough. I do enough. I have enough.
You can still be creative and have a flourishing business. It doesn't mean that you'll never DO anything again!

Just relax and let yourself BE. Stop worrying about what other people think about what you are doing or not doing. Eh?

Thank you! This feels good.
Oh boy, not this again!
