Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Today, I want to focus on being totally grounded and secure. Despite what you have experienced throughout the week, be thankful that you are here today to speak about it, read my inspirational blog, and write reflections in your journal. However, in order to be totally grounded and secure, you must first practice mindfulness and use your senses to identify:

• Five things you see
• Four things you can hear
• Three things you can touch or feel
• Two things you can smell
• One thing you can taste

This process will slow down the mind and allow it to be present in the here and now. Take your time with each sense, each observation, breathe, and try to stay objective.

HOW TO LET GO OF THINGS FROM THE PAST

Breathe, darling. This is just a chapter. It’s not your whole story. – S. C. Lourie

Next, allow yourself to release anything and anybody from your presence that do not help you to grow and flourish. Once you release, you will naturally enjoy fresh new beginnings in life that will allow you to grow and mature. Keep in mind that this can take time, practice and patience.

• Create a positive mantra to counter the painful thoughts.
• Create physical distance.
• Do your own work.
• Be gentle with yourself.
• Allow the negative emotions to flow.
• Accept that the other person may not apologize.
• Engage in self-care.
• Give yourself permission to talk about it and forgive.
• Seek professional help, if necessary.

LET GO & RELEASE AFFIRMATIONS

Feel the feeling but don’t become the emotion. Witness it. Allow it. Release it. – Crystal Andrus

Finally, during your journey, create an environment to leg go and release using affirmations. This process will allow you to become more aware of your thoughts and words.

For example, today I release:

• Anything that is no longer serving my higher purpose.
• Anxious thoughts and experiences that no longer serve me.
• Doubts and insecurities about myself.
• Toxic thoughts and emotions.
• Unhealthy relationships.
• Thoughts of revenge and unforgiveness.
• Everything and everybody who is no longer a part of the divine plan of my life.
• All anger and frustration from my body.
• The need to be seen and valued by others.
• My past beliefs and negative thought patterns.

As you go through life, reconnect with your present self. Don’t be afraid to let go and release. Be kind to yourself and celebrate the small victories. Then, and only then, will you be totally grounded and secure in the life you have grown to know.

JOURNAL PROMPTS

If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be. – Maya Angelou

I love journaling because it is a safe place for me to put my feelings and emotions into words, then put my words into action. Remember, journaling is your very own personal journey throughout life, your ups and downs, your successes and failures. In addition, journaling is a powerful way to process events in your life, build self-awareness, get more clarity, and keep yourself on track. Journaling also allows for past reflection, future insight, and present surrender. Keep in mind that this is a journey and be patient with yourself. Ready, set, write!
