SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS
By Marilyn L. Redmond
Do you feel like your past is dead weight? Because it is. I took a class years back that said, I need to finish my unfinished business, as it is draining my energy for the existing day. At that time, I did not realize how much those emotional ties to the past were being acted out in my daily life. They are history and do not have any influence on my current day unless I am still hanging on to them.
I was still reliving those emotions. That anger was not needed today as those situations were years ago. I realized I had to release them and heal them to be able to enjoy my current day completely. I found my anger and resentments were based from earlier days that did not go my way or people had not done what I wanted. Any emotional stirrings to the past were waiting for my loving resolution of them.
In addition, to healing old emotional wounds, I had to repair and restore any mechanical or other old repairs to run and be in running order for that energy to no longer drain me, either. The first one I identified was my old sewing machine needing to be repaired so I could sew my dress to be the mother of the bride. Then over time, I identified household repairs needed to keep my home in good shape that had been let go. I got a new kitchen floor and made a list of “to dos”. Over time these items were completed, It felt good, to have them no longer on my mind.
In addition, I found old beliefs that no longer served me. I found beliefs were other people’s thinking pushed onto me and which did not work for me as we all have a different path in life. I let my old belief leave to replace them with positive support heartfelt ideas that produced better feelings. I no longer bought the ideas of not being worthy, not having value, and needing to feel guilty for stories from thousands of years back.
I called this my inner house cleaning. In mediation and prayer, I asked for each old item to be given to my higher power so I would not have to carry them emotionally anymore. I could clear then out for space to allow the new good feelings for today to be present. I was learning to be current in my daily life.
All things considered this is also the perfect time for a spring cleaning to align my physical space with the lighter elements of the new cycle that will express very creatively, daily. A good inner springhouse cleaning purges the past. It makes space for the all-new feelings that are positive. This may also require restructuring certain areas of your life to accommodate the flow.
In my personal agreement to clean house, I needed a clean slate to begin anew and that often means releasing those physical things that hold the energies of our past so that I am free to redesign my destiny in alignment with The Divine Plan. After my divorce, I redecorated the whole house and repainted the walls. The house felt different with the new furniture and new drapes, too. As I weed out these old earth energies (and reminders) from my background, I open the space to transform it into my very special place of energy that is now creating my new life. I found I felt success from selecting my new surroundings. My visitors even noticed the new atmosphere and changes.
The recommendation is to utilize the remaining days of this old earth creation cycle to drop that, which is no longer serving you. We are all highly encouraged to heed this call, to cleanse any expired elements from our lives so that we are open to receiving the instruction set to begin implementing our new information. Clearing the way forward means eliminating the past debris that blocks or distracts us from taking important or necessary steps toward the recreation of our lives into a better life.
I found that when I identify why I have the resentment, determine what I am demanding, and the look for what I appreciate from the situation or person, I changed. I understood the circumstances that had me stuck in the past were actually helping me to grow up. Part of my clearing the past was to forgive myself for creating those past difficulties and harms for my learning to grow emotionally. I used the Hawaiian prayer: I am sorry, Forgive me, Thank you, I love you. I reprayed this until my understanding came to me the lesson I needed to learn in that situation and have compassion for the person acting it out. I could no longer blame others for my problems. I became responsible for my life.
I used the pray for releasing my painful situations and people. I needed those lessons for me to learn forgiveness, compassion, and accepting their role in my growing beyond my old fearful reactions that held me back. I found they actually helped me to become the person I have now become. I can now respond in loving solutions without my behavior coming from the past. I am living in the moment, which is a gift and that is why it is called The Present.

I just completed my 11th book, “A Spark of Truth” which is on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Spark-Truth-Rev-Marilyn-Redmond/dp/0944851630
It is a whistle blowing book, revealing how we became brainwashed in fear for several thousand years and how it effects us today. My other books and E-books are also on Amazon. I have 190 YouTubes, produced, and hosted two radio programs. I paint portraits of angels, (I see them), family, and pets by commission. My art and poetry are included in my books I am now writing “Divinely Protected.”
