Today I will let go of my need for approval and my need to be liked. Instead, I will choose to like and approve of myself. The people who count (including me) will respect me when I'm true to who I really am.

Today, I will focus on what's right about me. I will give myself some of the caring I've extended to the world.

Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.

Going home means getting comfortable being who you are and who your soul really wants to be. There is no strain with that. The strain and tension come when we're not being who our soul wants to be and we're someplace where our soul doesn't feel at home.

We have as much time as we need.

Gratitude can turn a meal into a feast.

Guilt can prevent us from setting the boundaries that would be in our best interests, and in other peoples best interests.
