Personal Practices and Loving Yourself

February 27, 2013 by conniehertz 7 Comments

PICS 451Daily personal practices are something I have been developing and doing faithfully now, consciously, for many years.

 

I begin each day with prayers and affirmations. No matter where I am, at home or traveling, I begin each day with them.

I read the book by Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life back in the 1970s.  I began saying some of her suggested affirmations daily, back then, and continue to say them every morning now.

 

I took my first personal growth class in 1974, where I learned how to meditate, and began my journey of  learning more about me, people, life, and spirituality. I began meditating using visualization and using the colors of the rainbow to calm and still my body, my mind, and feel the oneness of all of us as souls.

 

Using breath, deep breathing, is a very important piece in calming ourselves  and shifting into a state to receive from God and to get in touch with our essence.

 

I now today, meditate most afternoons. I am using a guided meditation now, with music and using  deep breathing.  Meditation keeps me living more peaceful, more loving, and in alignment with God and my essence, that wouldn’t be present in the same way, if I wasn’t doing it faithfully.

Consistancy is vital when making shifts and changes in ourselves.  As the author of the book , The Compound Effect, Darren Hardy says, it’s doing the little things over and over, that make the big differences.

 

I recently took a class, Master’s of Manisfestation, with Marcia Wider,  in Santa Barbara, where I learned a new meditation I never experienced before.  This was mediation through dance, with Garbriel Roth, leading our group, per a video.  What a great experience it was!  I was just reminded the other night at an Awsesome Women event, to include this dance as part of my personal practices, and how it made me feel so alive and connected.

 

My other morning personal practices are reading from a few inspirational books and writing in a gratitude journal.

 

I also workout out at a health club in the mornings, usually 4 mornings per week.

 

As I’m falling asleep each night, I say more prayers and sometimes read from an inspirational book, so I go to sleep in a good place to have a restful night’s sleep.

 

I have found that following the many personal practices that I have for many years now, adding in new ones from time to time, has kept me a happier person, more apt to make the better choices for my days.  I know they have helped me to love myself and I am better able to live from my purpose: living in joy and inspiring others to live in joy.

 

 So, I ask you, can you add in at least one personal practice every morning, every night, every day? Will you choose to? If you do, I know you will be happy you did!

My wish for you is that you take away many things from all of the blogs written on my website this past month of February about loving yourself.

Go out and let your light shine, and step up and become the person you were meant to be, when you came here to this planet!

 

Much love and many blessings,

Connie

    Thanks, Wynnie! When I do read your book, I read it in the morning with my morning readings, 2 pages at a time. I read from a few books each morning and write in my gratitude journal and some other daily pracitices, prayers and affirmations, and writing down what I will do today, and what I give to God to do for me today. Blessings to you too!

    Hi Connie!
    I find you so inspirational! I’d like to share one of my daily practices. Much like a gratitude journal, but on a much smaller scale, I take a small piece of paper and jot down something fun, or fantastic, or remarkable about my day! Something positive!! I fold up the piece of paper and put it in a jar. If ever, and we all do, have a “down” day or my mood is less than stellar, I take out the jar and read some of my notes. It really puts things back in perspective. 🙂

      Thanks so much Sarah! I love your idea about writing down something fun about your day and putting into a jar to read later on a “down day”!
      Thanks for sharing this!
