Have you recently taken the time to stop and smell the roses? Are you acknowledging and enjoying their beauty and their fragrance?
On the same note, why aren't you stopping and saying ' I'm wonderful'?
Some of you might be thinking, «I do say that!» That is extremely positive.
Keep on doing it. Unfortunately you might be in the minority. Valuing ourselves is necessary to be to able value others around us!!

Most of the people tend to be too demanding and too critical on themselves, always wanting to be more and better, thinner, richer, more influential, and so on. Many people think that when they get those things that they wish for they will be happy. Likely they have momentarily happiness, but they need to search for another 'fix'.

I am not saying that development is not good. Actually quite the contrary. Wanting to achieve more in your life is actually very positive. It is good to focus on the targets you want to achieve and work towards them. But, it is important to allow yourself to enjoy the journey that gets you there!!
Remind yourself to enjoy the journey- to allow the joy in the journey of your life!

I will be be exploring this topic in this months group session. You will have an opportunity to experience a past life regression to help you understand why it is so difficult allow joy in your life. Maybe a memory trapped in time that needs to be acknowledged in order to let go. You'll get to be in touch with a part of you that knows how to experience Joy and with another part of you that for some reason is not allowing you to appreciate the joy in your life.
