Day 6 #fallbackintoshape2017.

I love these quotes from A Return to Love today:

"To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you have in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten" (69).

"Our capacity for brilliance is equal to our capacity to forget the past and forget the future" (71).

These really put "happiness" into perspective for me. Worrying about the past or the future just creates anxiety in the present. All we have control of and power over is our response to what is happening right now. The idea of making peace with the past by choosing to remember the blessings you had and the love that was there and to move forward in that love is really revolutionary - particularly because it is obviously contrary to what we are naturally inclined to think and do.

Starting right now, my quest is to visit past hurts and forgive myself and others, to replace sadness with love and to greet my experiences moving forward with love.

So grateful.

My workout today: "Yoga for neck and shoulder relief - Yoga with Adriene."

She said that sometimes neck pain is a result of our inability (or unwillingness) to see the other side of a story. That definitely resonates. And it connects back to that idea of forgiveness and letting go of everything negative in the past to make space for and accept the beauty of the present.

I allow myself to be open to new ideas and experiences. I release the past with love. I choose to be happy and spread light today.

I love today's meditation practice!
