Welcome to our Marriage War and Peace blog for March

March enters with a roar, with winter's last gasp of cold and snow,

But it exits with a gentle bleat, a lamb of warmth and new growth to show.

This time of year, nature sheds its old skin and embraces the new,

So let's follow suit and let go of what no longer serves us too.

The limiting beliefs, self-judgments, the guilt, and the shame,

They're heavy burdens that only hold us back from our full potential game.

Let's create space in our hearts and minds for new possibilities to grow,

And focus on what truly matters so that we can flourish and glow.

March may come in like a lion, but we can make it go out like a dove,

With grace, intention, a commitment to personal growth, and love.

I’m sure you recognize the inspiration for my poetry:

“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” This proverb is perfect for this month’s theme — letting go and creating space

Letting Go of My Guilt and Shame

When I was in college, my boyfriend gave me a copy of the Bhagavad Gita. The imagery of the language was so beautiful, and the timeless wisdom so compelling that I vowed to visit India someday.

Last October, I did! And went to India with my Yes To Success and Ageless teachers, Debra Poneman and Ronnie Newman (not in the photo above) for a month-long stay. It was amazing!

For most of my marriage, I struggled with shame, guilt, and self-judgment.

• Shame over how I lied to the world that my marriage was great when it wasn’t.

• Guilt over my weight.

• Judgmental about me as a wife and mother.

As a result, joy and intimacy were non-existent in my marriage, and I was all tied up in guilt-induced patterns and shame-about-myself lies.

While in India, that all changed. Through a series of beautiful Hindu ceremonies, I let go of the shame and guilt I’d been carrying for decades. And created space for healing and change.

You, too, can let go and create space. And you don’t need to travel to India to do it! Here are two ways how:

1. Begin Letting Go of Things Now

Here are three ways to let go of guilt-induced patterns and shame-about-myself lies so you can create space for healing and change:

• Cultivate gratitude by focusing on all that you have.
  

• Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you.
  

• Use affirmations daily.

Above all else, be patient with yourself. And, do these 3 simple steps. Don't mistake their brevity or simplicity for producing profound transformation.

2. Meditation to Let Go of Limiting Beliefs

Use this meditation anytime you want to let go and create space:

1. Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down.
   

2. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, focusing on the sensation of the breath moving in and out of your body.
   

3. Recall a limiting belief that you have about yourself. E.g., "I'm not good enough" or "I don't deserve to be happy."
   

4. Allow yourself to feel any emotions that arise. Notice where in your body you feel tension or discomfort.
   

5. Take another deep breath and imagine inhaling a bright, healing light. Visualize this light moving through your body, dissolving the tension and discomfort.
   

6. Repeat to yourself, "I release this limiting belief. I am free to create space."
   

7. Take a few more deep breaths.
   

8. Recall a positive affirmation that you can use to replace the limiting belief. Repeat this affirmation to yourself several times.
   

9. Take another deep breath and imagine that you are exhaling any remaining tension or discomfort.
   

10. When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes and take a few moments to reflect on your experience.
    

My blog features powerful meditations and affirmations that help individuals release limiting beliefs and create more space in their lives. Regardless of your background, these practices can benefit anyone seeking positive change and inner peace. These affirmations are not empty words; they reflect a deep truth that can be transformative. Repeat them as often as needed and experience profound transformation that can bring lasting peace and happiness.
