No Smoke (Meditation)
Erica Mason
[Verse 1]
As you begin the healing process
You quickly rely that's it's not a easy journey
Hum oftentimes, we look at healing is something for those who are weak in an area
That need some type of recovery
But this perspective is true, in many cases
I'm learning that healing is for the strong to
To face adversity or challenges that trigger you to exercise
The lesser re-older version of you
Yеah, you still choose the healthy choicе, that's not easy feet
Sometimes life happens
Sometimes making the right decisions for ourselves as difficult
Especially when the easier unhealthy option is right in front of us
Sometimes regressing back to the older version of ourselves
Feels good in the moment
But oftentimes it opens the door for feelings of guilt and shame to linger
Nah, I'm not gonna lie, if you're anything like me
You've probably enjoyed a few moments of regression
Especially when you gave someone exactly what you felt like they deserved
Having moments of regression is a part of the process
But it's important to know that we can't stay here
Grace and love is always available to us during the journey
So don't be too hard on yourself, if you find yourself a wavering
Healing isn't easy but it's necessary
I wrote these affirmations, for those who need a little push to keep healing
Into keep growing when circumstances, are telling them to make unhealthy choices
Say these affirmations, whenever you feel is necessary
[Affirmation: speak with me]
I am proud of myself
The road hasn't always been easy
But I'm choosing to stay the course
I give myself Grace and love, as I grow in this season
I will not allow external circumstances, to rob me of my internal peace
Yeah, my feelings are important, but they don't control me
I make room for my feelings
I acknowledge my feelings and I release the feelings that flow against my healing
I have a sound mind
I am not crazy, my feelings matter
I will make decisions in my life based on who I am and where I'm going
Not solely on how I feel
I choose to release anger, anxiety and frustration
I reclaim my peace
I reclaim my joy
It is well with my soul
There is more working for me, then against me
I will remain calm and centered and frustrating situations
How people act towards me has nothing to do with my worth
I release people who don't see and value the fullness of my humanity
If people criticise me, I can survive that
Nothing says that I have to be perfect
I will not hold on to the things, that no longer serve me
I'm gonna be okay
