Bitter? by Janice Taylor, Life\/Wellness Coach, Weight Loss Artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

” …. what of people who can’t feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren’t able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.” ~ Fred Rogers<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Good Day Tushkateers!!!<\/span><\/strong> (Sounds like a great morning TV show, doesn\u2019t it?)<\/em>\u00a0 Goodness gracious … THAT would be fun.\u00a0 A limousine picks me up in the early morning (5:00 am is okay with me).\u00a0 A skim latte awaits, the morning paper\u00a0 \u2013 in print, or on my iPad?\u00a0 Okay, I\u2019ll go modern \u2013 tablet it is.\u00a0 I skim the headlines as I drink my skim, arriving 15 minutes later at the TV studio.\u00a0 Hair, make-up, a 5 minute segment; back in the limo, a drive home! And that\u2019s pretty much it for the day!\u00a0 Did I forget to mention that I get paid enough?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your fantasy?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 AND what do you need to clear out of the way to manifest it???<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, indeed. If you are lugging around too much baggage, you’re not leaving much space for your dreams, fantasies, happy life experiences! \u00a0 How much space does your unhappiness take up?\u00a0 How heavy is your bitterness?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Which, interestingly enough, brings me to today\u2019s Chewing the Fat email from Tushkateer, Pat M.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CHEWING THE FAT<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear OLofWL ~<\/em><\/strong> Last week at dinner with my family, all my buttons were pushed.\u00a0 I won\u2019t go into the nitty gritty of it; the story line.\u00a0 Let\u2019s just say that I felt rejected, misunderstood, and unappreciated.\u00a0 Even though it was last week, I\u2019m still feeling it this week.\u00a0\u00a0 AND \u2026 it has definitely influenced my food choices.\u00a0 Not good, Our Lady \u2026 not good at all.\u00a0 Any advice on how to practice \u201cAll Is Forgiven, Move on<\/a>?\u201d\u00a0 ~ Pat M.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Pat ~<\/em><\/strong> The benefits of letting go of grudges and bitterness are profound, indeed.\u00a0 By clearing your space, by letting go, you make way for compassion, kindness and peace.\u00a0\u00a0 By letting go, you are clearing the space for forgiveness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How do you let go?\u00a0<\/strong> First you become aware of your feelings and when they rise to the surface, you acknowledge them, note them and then breathe them out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a simple breathing exercise:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Start with the out breath and repeat in your mind\u2019s eye \u2026
\nBreathe out bitterness, anger and resentment.
\nBreathe in love.\u00a0 (Repeat 8 times)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. ~ Harry Emerson Fosdick<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In so doing, you will effectively release the control and power that the insensitive persons and\/or disappointing situation had over you.\u00a0 No longer victim to others, forgiveness is your new practice.<\/p>\n

Love is your new practice. Practice it again and again until it is your automatic response.\u00a0 And now \u2026\u00a0 you can easily and effortlessly utilize Our Lady\u2019s mantra, \u201cAll is forgiven, move on<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 Hope that helps!\u00a0 Let us know how it goes.\u00a0 We are with you every inch of the weigh … \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 ~ OLofWL<\/strong><\/em>
