I've attached this link to Melody Beatties site.

Melody Beattie wrote some very helpful books on codpedendancy and the language of letting go. I highly recomened them they will be in most libraries I'm sure.

Her website also offers daily meditations and affirmations on the language of letting go see http://melodybeattie.com/meditations/

It is important to reflect on our habits and how we need to change some in order to break out of the patterns that have brought us unhappiness. I now realise that as hard as it is to know other people, that it is hardest of all to truly know ourselves. It is something which requires constant reflection.

Where we are in life has much less to do with other people and their actions towards us than it has to do with our own habits and choices. If we are making poor choices we need to improve our thought processes. We do not have to repeat mistakes we simply have to learn from them. We owe it to ourselves to learn from our mistakes and use the lessons to improve our lives. Spend time reflecting on what has gone wrong and what you could have done differently and take the lesson forward with you. What's done is done, however with a lesson learned it doesn't have to be repeated.

The people that we have in our life, other than our immediate family are there because we have attracted them to us. If there are toxic people in our lives we have to examine why they are there, why do we keep them in our lives? We don't have to.

We are often strangers to ourselves, getting to know ourselves can be difficult and at times painful. Being truly honest to ourself about ourself can be grueling. Not laying blame on others, taking full responsibility for our lives. This doesnt mean that nobody has ever wronged us, everyone of us will be wronged in some way or ways in our lives, it means understanding our part in it, how did we let it occur, where we not living conciously, where we in denial, where we complacent, where we needy, where we lazy and handing the reins of our lives to others? did we put the responsibility for our happiness on to someone else?

Our happiness can only ever be our own responsibility. Ouf financial security is our own responsibility. We can handle these tasks, we just have to believe in ourselves. Other people can add to our happiness and even our wealth, but ultimately it is up to us to be happy and secure, and with belief and effort of course, we can do it.

It's never beneficial to beat ourselves up and criticise ourselves, we simply need to observe and learn and move on. Negativity is not productive. If our thoughts begin to spiral downwards we need to reach down and pick them up again, redirect them. Learn the habit of positive thinking. Our thoughts are our lives. Keep them positive and that is what our lives shall be.
