Restoration

Hey Love’s,

Now that we are a few weeks into 2014 let’s talk. Starting in late November, mass media begins its campaign of happy holidays and follows with countless commercials for gym memberships, sunny vacations, fad diets and ideas of New Year resolutions. Have you ever wondered why we don’t have this same motivation on March 30th (random date). I’d like to share with you some of the things I talk to myself about. That’s right I have full blown conversations with myself and answer myself too lol.

“What is my real motivation for wanting to begin this new year with the goal of personal wellness?” The answer I gave myself is “I’m tired of resolving to ‘up my GAME’ based on the unrealistic, popular opinion media driven ideas of how I should look, feel, and invest my money.” So today I want to encourage you to LOVE YOURSELF RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. You are wonderful, special, brilliant, wealthy, kind, and well. I think that if we begin our resolve, or embark on a journey of growth from that perspective then going forward is so much easier.

I used to have a tendency of jumping into things with both feet and hitting the ground running. I used to set unrealistic expectations based upon images I saw in the media, misinformation, comparing my situation with others or simply getting caught up in the MATRIX. Today I am more observant. I investigate. I’m patient with myself but most importantly I put myself first. My journey of wellness is one of personal growth. I am always asking myself, “RENEE WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?” “WHY?”. Answering these questions requires me to shift through the lies, bull crap, and illusions I’ve accepted as my reality. I have to sit still and listen to GOD. I honestly examine what I am personally doing to keep myself from experiencing what I say I REALLY WANT. It’s often difficult for me to admit that my lack of progress is due to procrastination, lack of love, and people pleasing. As I begin to tell myself the truth which is, there is and will always be more than enough. There is no lack concerning ME. God loves me PERIOD. I’m worth it, and taking care of myself is not selfish. Then and only then can I become unstuck. I’ve found it a liberating feeling to let go of all the excuses, lies and misinformation and to take one step at a time to move into my destiny.

Taking full responsibility for my happiness and joy is important to me.

RESTORATION is my word for “Detox”. So here are some of my Loving Restoration “Goals”:

Restoration for me will be on many levels. Physically I hope to clear any disease, potential illnesses, and congestions. I hope to improve my energy. I believe that my restoration time will rejuvenate me. Mental restoration is vital for me. I’ll continue to meditate, pray, listen and laugh. I must rid my mind of negative thought patterns. The Physical restoration aids in my mental wellness because I limit the mind altering drugs i.e. sugars, artificial color & chemicals found in most processed foods. It’s important that I take into my body/temple foods and nutrients that will restore my cells and promote life.

Financial restoration has already begun for me. Seeing things more clearly has helped me not to be such an impulsive consumer. Restoration has assisted me in making investments that bring a positive and promising return. I’m more disciplined and I also have a written spending plan that I use to help me see where my heart is. I personally try not to spend my money or energy where my heart IS NOT. When I’m not clear I’ll cast my pearls anywhere. Clarity assures me that I make financial decisions that not only affect me but the people I hold near to me heart. Every time you turn around there’s a new gadget, fad diet, new fragrance etc. that’s being marketed to our emotions and pockets. I truly appreciate the supporters of Clear Evidence because they not only make an investment in themselves but in a movement of WELLNESS that touches the lives of families in Africa and beyond.

Emotional restoration helps me to express feelings of hidden frustrations, angers uncovered fear and replace them with forgiveness, love, joy, peace and hope.

I invite you to walk with me as I share with you a side of Clear Evidence that I hope you will find informative, encouraging, and empowering. Share with me some of your Restoration tips and tid bits so I may join my faith with yours. Peace Be Upon You, Peace Be Upon Me Too.

REST REST RESTORATION. Spring will be here before you know it. What will you harvest? It all depends on the seeds sown now.

Be Well,

Renee
