Go beyond...to that universal place where all concepts of God are mine....whenever and if ever I am ready.

Remember that the most loving thing I can do for others is to become the beautiful person that I am meant to be.

Be open to the idea that deep down I many not be as perfect as I want you to see me.

Remember that the actions of the past were the best I could do at the time.

Accept that I can now completely change my attitude toward life and living.

Give up my need to control people, places, and things that are beyond my control.

Recognize that obsessions really are obsessions - even the obsession to grow and recover.

Be willing to set aside my ego and ask for help when I am ready.

Understand that the past is an important part of me but it is over.

Have the courage to go back and face the problems of the past when I am ready.

Allow myself to grieve but recognize that it can become an unhealthy obsession.

Surround myself with those who are good for me and detach from those who are not.

Be willing to make new friendships and allow the old ones to dissolve if they are longer comfortable.

Define my boundaries of acceptable behavior based upon the present and not the past.

Acknowledge my needs to those whom I love.

Let go of the fear of loss of control when peace and serenity first manifest themselves.

Remember that things will be different - not better or worse - just different.

Accept what is in front of me without wanting it to be different.

Recognize the fact that my highest good will arrive if I will just stay out of the way.

Understand that the loneliness I feel is a unique opportunity for growth.

Fully enjoy the new wonderful feelings without the fear that they won't last.

Remember that spontaneity is one of the gifts of spiritual growth.

Become aware of times when wonderful things happen with no help from me.

Rejoice in my new awareness of the beauty that has been there all along.

Allow me to take magnificent care of myself, my spirit, and those things that are mine....

I Love Me Enough To ...Let Me Go!
