Would you like to go to sleep with nothing on your mind? Would you like to feel clean inside, no longer hiding emotions, stuffing anger, holding grudges, or allowing conflict to fester? Would you like to free up more space to love, succeed, and create?
In the past, I held so much inside. Like most of us, I had unresolved conflicts, anger, pain, regrets, and grudges. I made the decision to clean up my heart and my behavior. Moment by moment is what I call how I was able to do this.
1. Moment by moment forgiveness. Instead of holding grudges, bottling emotion, being attached to being right, or belittling people, why not instead feel love toward them, compassion, and the realization that everyone could have done the same thing? We can realize that if someone had the skills or knew better, they would not have done what they did. Practice moment by moment forgiveness so that incidents do not collect inside you, rather move through and out of you like fresh air.
2. Moment by moment communication. If we are able to communicate immediately what we feel, we will not hold thoughts and emotions inside. We can practice telling people how we feel from a deep level. By practicing moment by moment communication, we are able to keep our relationship energy moving like a refreshing fuel, instead of slowly becoming estranged from one another. This type of separation is a common, but deep pain that when not acknowledged puts a shell around us that impacts every area of our lives.
3. Moment by moment gratitude. When we live life from our heart and senses, rather than from expectations, the ego, attachments, and negative beliefs, we are able to get in a space of sheer gratitude for so much in our lives. The little things that used to bother us no longer do, because we feel part of the bigger flow and part of life itself. Moment by moment gratitude is like running clean water through our system.
4. Moment by moment courage. When we act from integrity, ethics, and love, we do not have regrets, or guilt. We are doing what is best for us and everyone, constantly, without thinking. With moment by moment courage, we grow and radiate more and more because courage and action clears fear out of us. We are in our benevolent power, with a strength necessary to make the world a better place.
What other moment by moment ways of being can you think of or feel that are important in order to keep your heart and mind clear and clean? When we choose to examine our life, we choose to act in our highest power and for the greater good. Try living moment by moment and watch the benefits accumulate in your life!
