Strength Lies Within You

How often do we give our power away to Other people ? How often do we believe that we are not enough…. I grew up in a sheltered environment being the youngest of 3 siblings and the only daughter. My attention seeking mechanism from my loving mother whilst growing up  was to tell her of my pains imagined or otherwise . I was always rewarded with loving concern and motherly affection .Grew up expecting to be rewarded for being sick. Married to a practical person , my needy self wanted the same reaction as I received from my mom. Sadly or to my good fortune did not receive it. Went through years of my marriage blaming circumstances or the lack of love thereof from my partner as I truly believed that if he loved me he would understand my pains. Over the years and with a lot of practice ,meditations ,reading I have finally realized that unknowingly my sub conscious mind had built in this belief system that I need to be in pain for someone to love me and show me attention. I was physically fit but showing all kinds of bizarre symptoms because that was the only way my system was trying to get me the affection that I craved for. I had to slowly get out of that belief by saying to myself everyday that I was completely healthy both in mind ,body and spirit. Had to provide a very nourishing environment to my mind,body by reading the right kinds of books and exercising regularly. Had to let go of those old beliefs. So, have promised to do the following everyday.   Write a few lines of all the people in my life that I appreciate and love , Meditate , exercise and eat right.So, basically the strength lies within each one of us to identify our limiting beliefs, let go of the same and promise to love oneself as self love will cure us of all emotional distress that we bring upon ourselves.Today I love and cherish my husband ,kids ,parents and all my family and friends.
