BESTSELF™ ICEBREAKER | Beliefs 12

WHERE IN YOUR LIFE ARE YOU RELIGIOUS AND WHY?

I’m religious in the care and keeping of those I love: laughing, listening, consoling, cajoling, hugging.

I’m religious in the care and keeping of myself: eating well, hydration, resting, moving, meditating.

I’m religious in keeping those I want in my life, in my life, with boundaries (some need more than others!)

I’m religious in saying yes to opportunities that light me up.

I’m religious in my showing up, daring to ask for more, and embracing que sera sera, every day.

Why? Because life is short and I want to make the most of it while I’m on this plane of existence with love and compassion.

I’m not religious in a go-to-church and immerse myself in doctrine and rules constructed by a bunch of men for reasons that do not involve me or anyone of my gender in any kind of way. As for traditional organized religion, I believe it is has done far more harm and oppress than good it claims to have done. It’s all about power and control and has zero to do with love and compassion.
