I protect my heart from being taken for granted

I protect my heart from being taken for granted.

The ultimate responsibility for my well-being lies with me. Taking care of myself affords me the opportunity to take care of others. I safeguard my heart, so it is open to giving and receiving love.

I open my heart to anyone who reaches out to me. 

I want to be a blessing to others and ease their burdens.

At times, others view my kindness as a sign of weakness. When they make efforts to abuse my goodness and sincerity, I stand up for myself. I wish them well and walk away because I know that there are others deserving of my love.

When I take the time to evaluate my new acquaintances, I am able to identify which ones are sincere. I appreciate those who are willing to meet me halfway.

I am honest with others about how their actions impact me. It is important to speak up about how I am feeling instead of bottling it up inside. This prevents the negative feelings from festering.

Maintaining a solid emotional foundation allows me to remember my worth. Whenever I find it difficult to convince someone of it, I know it is time for us to part ways.

I replenish my love by receiving love from others. 

That balance is important to keeping my heart protected.

Today, my openness to love attracts a lot of love from others who mean me well. I am honored to be able to be the rock for people who are committed to my emotional well-being as well.

  2. Is there a limit to the amount of love I give to others?

  3. In what ways do I show love to those around me?

I make time to relax

I make time to relax.

Life can get hectic. Many times, I am awake before sunrise and the pace increases throughout the day. At sundown, I am frequently still trying to complete chores or make a list of things to accomplish tomorrow. Even so, I still find time to relax.

When I relax, it is like plugging into my charger. I am rejuvenated to get through the next day or activity.

Relaxing for even just a few minutes brings balance to my chaotic life. 

Resting is a wonderful contrast from running errands, working through lunch hour at work, and doing the house chores in the evening. Making time for some “R and R” shows that I care about myself.

I try to vary the ways I relax each day. Yesterday, I might have read part of the novel I wanted to read. Today, I may plan to watch an old movie. Tomorrow might bring a long walk in the park after the kids leave for school. I squeeze out a bit of time each day to relax.

The minutes or hours I allow myself to relax make me feel special. 

I know I am worthy of having time each day to rest and do whatever I want.

Today, I intend to make notes in my calendar or set an alarm on my phone to ensure that I make time to rest every single day.
