doctor's prescription for a better me
TAKEN FROM “WAKE-UP CALLS WRITTEN BY JERRY JAMPOLSKY, M.D. AND DIANE CIRINCIONE, PH.D.
1. TO BE AWAKE IS TO KNOW THAT WE WERE NEVER SEPARATE
2. NO ONE EVER TOLD US WHEN WE WERE BORN THAT “HANGING LOOSE” OR BEING “UPTIGHT” WAS A CHOICE
3. IF HEARTS WERE MORE OPEN TO LOVE, WE WOULD HAVE LESS NEED FOR OPEN HEART SURGERY
4. WE HAVE THINGS BACKWARDS BECAUSE “REST IN PEACE” SHOULD BE FOR THE LIVING AND NOT THE DEAD
5. THERE ARE ONLY TWO EMOTIONS; LOVE AND FEAR
6. FEAR IS NEVER DEAR AND ALWAYS COMES FROM LIFE’S REAR
7. AWAKENING OCCURS WHEN WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS NEVER ANYONE TO BLAME
8. ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN LIFE IS TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH OURSELVES
9. CHANGING THE THOUGHTS IN OUR MINDS CAN CHANGE OUR LIVES
10. ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGES THAT HUMAN BEINGS HAVE IS TO STOP LOOK INTO THE MIRROR AND SAY, “ I LOVE YOU WITH ALL M HEART JUST AS YOU ARE”
11. TO AWAKEN AND EXPERIENCE FREEDOM IS TO LET GO OF THE ATTACHMENTS WE HAVE TO ALL OF OUR POSSESSIONS
12. THE LAW OF GUILT IS TO PUNISH YOURSELF OR BLAME SOMEONE ELSE. THE FIRST STEP IN LETTING GO OF GUILT IS TO NO LONGER SEE ANY VALUE IN HOLDING ONTO IT
13. PERCEPTION IS A MIRROR NOT A FACT
14. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE ONE OF YOUR DOCTOR’S MANY PATIENTS, MAKE IT A PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE TO HAVE INFINITE PATIENCE
15. TENDERNESS AND GENTLENESS WALK HAND IN HAND, FOR WHERE THERE IS NO FEAR, THERE IS ONLY LOVE
16. CELESTIAL AMNESIA IS LETTING GO OF THE PAST AND REMEMERING ONLY THE LOVE WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN AND RECEIVED
17. FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO INNER PEACE AND HAPPINESS
