Exercise for today

Questions of the day for my exercises in BEING the magnet I have always been (just didn't know it).

*What are my commitments to myself?

To attract my husband to my life. To be there for myself emotionally. To establish my boundaries. To get my graduate degree. To be a coach. To find work that does not kill me. To maintain inner peace. To connect with others daily. To be able to be in a loving, warm, committed relationship with a man. To not slam things shut (no more black and white) and go numb (false sense of control), trying to get over or separate from people (I'm really never okay this way) in which it may cause me or has caused me pain. To remind myself of my own importance. I am committed to magical things being allowed in my life. My own happiness and joy. To being a good person to myself-treating myself kindness.

*What are my commitments to god/universe?

To talk to god regularly. To not purposely hurt others. To do what I can to make this world a better place. To spread peace and happiness. To be a good person in caring for others.

*What are my commitments to others?

To be a good mom, friend and person. To help when I can. To be committed to being there for others whenever needed. To have strong relationships with all sorts of people. To give and receive love openly within my boundaries.

*Which if any of my commitments have become obligatory and outdated, and should be either renegotiated and/or released?

I am not sure I have many; there may be hidden commitments. I always think people will come to a point they find they don't like me underneath everything. Leftover from my mother saying how unlikable I am and my Father's rejection of me--I was never good. So, the commitment to my unlikableness would need to go.

• Worrying about my kids and their stuff, having to raise them; they are raised, release the commitment.
• My old work ethic: work hard and kill yourself, release that commitment.
• Goals that no longer suit me, release all the commitments that are not inline with my real identity.
• Making sure I find something to focus on to make myself feel bad. Fantasizing about unattainable men and relationships, waiting for them to realize the mistake they made (just like Pops), goodbye to that commitment.

What new commitments can I make to help expand my sense of connection and belonging in the world?

• I am interested in establishing deeper relationships with people who are emotionally available.
• To further reach out to others and help them.
• To love and connect with my beloved husband.
• To create a career that resonates and rewards me so I can do all the things I am meant to do here on this planet.
• Not waste more time making myself miserable.
• Honor myself.
• Remain grounded knowing my dreams do come true, positive things do happen to me and I deserve them.
• There is nothing wrong with me,and I am committed to more self-acceptance.
• To be my own emotional support and welcome it from others.
