Pay Attention For Healing

Pay attention.

Paying attention is a step beyond just showing up. Paying attention means listening. It is listening to yourself and to others. It’s being observant and discerning in our responses. Someone who is struggling to pay attention struggles to know what is going on when they are showing up. They don’t know why, and they are focusing more on themselves than on the present around them. People challenged with paying attention are reacting, not responding. To pay attention requires patience and trust. Do not worry about what you need to do, just observe and listen first. 

Here are some statements to help you pay attention. 

I forgive myself for believing... 
- I can’t pay attention.
- Paying attention is dangerous.
- Paying attention isn’t worth it. 
- I’ll be hurt or disappointed or over shadowed if I pay attention.
- It’s better not to pay attention.
- Others are not worth paying attention to.
- I’ll be too overwhelmed with emotion if I pay attention
- It’s too hard to listen.
- Listening and observing might mean I hear something I don’t like, or I have to do something I don’t like. 

I forgive others…
- For hurting me when I pay attention. 
- For rejecting me when I pay attention.
- For failing me when I pay attention.
- For not paying attention to me. 
- For teaching me it is a waste to pay attention.
- For not listening to me. 
- For avoiding me. 
- For ignoring me. 

I give others permission to forgive me for…
- Not paying attention to, listening, or observing them.  
- Giving up.
- Not being fully attentive.
- Being impatient.  
- For blaming them for why I don’t pay attention.
- Being angry when they don’t pay attention.

I love and accept myself even when I’m afraid to pay attention.
I give myself permission to pay attention to and to feel love, forgiveness, happiness, safe, secure, and complete. 
I give myself permission to pay attention with faith, knowing I am competent and efficient. 
I give myself permission to listen patiently knowing others are worthy. 
I give myself permission to pay attention even if I see or hear something I don’t want. 
Without this fear, I am free to pay attention in my life with patience and kind response. 
Be free.
