As I began to write this book. I wonder what I would title a book about helping yourself let go of negative things and focus more on positive thoughts. The first thing that came to mind was when I did a guided imagery about seven years ago. To give you a little story about my guided imagery experience. I was seeing a life coach. In one of my sessions, she asked me if I wanted to do guided imagery. I was nervous about this process. I never did something called guided imagery. It was against my background religion-wise. I wondered is this letting someone else in your head. I decided that I was so frustrated and upset with my life that I would trust her. As the session began, she had me relax. Close my eyes and just think of warmth all over my body. I thought of glass globes rotating around the bottom of my feet massaging them. Then moved those glass globes up my legs, to my thighs, my back, into my shoulders, to my arms, up my neck and around my head. I was really relax at this point and she walked me through a guided imagery. First I imagine myself being picked up off the ground by a white cloud. Then as I gently had the cloud put me down the ground. I looked around to see what was around me. All I could see was beautiful green grass. Then she told me to look for my house. I looked around I saw beautiful stone cottage. I walked up to the stone cottage and knocked on the door. Here I was going to meet my future self. As the door opened I saw someone who looked exactly like me except she was glowing and happier and I knew that she was a teacher. She asked me to come in. As I walked in, there was a living room with the stone fireplace and a rather large dog sitting there. At the time I did not know what type of dog this was at all. I now know it’s the brindle English mastiff that I own. She is only 15 months old now. My future self guided me over to the dining room and kitchen area and told me to sit down at the table. She went to bring me a cup of hot cocoa, and I told her I don’t drink cocoa. She looked at me and said “oh honey were all organic now”. I kinda laughed now thinking about this because then I was very far from organic. I looked out the right side of the room through the French doors, and saw a beautiful red barn a ways away. I knew my husband was there with the horses. I’m not sure at the time if they were our horses. I said that I would never own horses. I look to my future self who is 10 years in the future at this point and ask her for her advice. This is what she told me “Let it Go” “Let it Go” “Let it Go”. I just laughed now thinking about that day. I had no idea how I was going to let anything go. I had been wronged by so many people. Little did I know, that my life would be changed from that day forward. So here I am seven years later. With the dog I saw in my vision, I did teach the Massage Program at our local vocational school and waiting to find or build my little stone cottage. After we were done with our little chat I walked back out the front door and had the fluffy cloud pick me back up and bring me back to reality. Slowly I opened my eyes and I knew this was my future that I just saw. It gave me great peace to know such beautiful things were to come. I really thought about naming the book “let it go” but decided that what I have really learned was that I had to learn to love myself. So I titled the book “Learn to love yourself”. The book really is about finding yourself and the love you have for yourself.
