30 Days of Forgiveness

May is Mental Health Awareness month, and I can’t think of a better way to promote mental health than cultivating a powerful practice of Forgiveness. Each day you ‘practice’ living. You practice waking up, often experimenting with a specific or at least predictable morning routine that may involve running late (or on time) and bring you fulfillment (or fear). You practice it so much, you get really, really good at, and you no longer have to think about it, it’s just whooo we be when you breathe.

This is your invitation to practice Forgiveness in a radically different, fun and (hopefully) funny way, that deepens your understanding of what I call your soul’s temperament—What your soul can tolerate, what it can not tolerate, and the gratitude your soul expresses each time you honor it. To kick off the challenge we must first start with the most important questions to guide your practice.

What’s your definition of Forgiveness? What does the power of Forgiveness create in your life? More importantly, what are the signs/actions/state of being that you experience when you’ve fully forgiven yourself, others, and circumstances?

Forgiveness demands acceptance, requires gratitude, and OWLways Rewrites Your Story in a transformational, empowering, soulful way—its a story you never want to end. As you contemplate your personal definition of Forgiveness, notice your breathing, your body, and observe your mind.

What are you resisting allowing?
Accepting?
Loving as is?
Expressing Gratitude For?

My personal forgiveness process starts with allowing, moves into acceptance and loving what is by expressing gratitude in the form of a ‘Thank You’—thank you for the rain so I can appreciate the sun.

I also have a forgiveness catch phrase—if it’s historical, it’s hoo-sterical—if I’m not able to laugh at the past, it’s because I’m still carrying it with me in the present and it still needs to be forgiven. The ‘antidote’ to this is to simply acknowledge and allow, documenting it for yourself so you can return at a later time to accept and let go.

Acceptance is the closing of a cycle. It marks the ‘point’ of arrival. Like a 12 step program, acceptance creates room for real truth, and the truth is that forgiveness will set you free to create room for whatever is FUN, FUNNY, and brings you FULFILLMENT!
