Imagery Exercise: Best of Who I Am

© Paulette Le Pore Motzko

Let me reach out and grab the best of who I am Keeping my arms unfurled Let me center on the things I truly love Let me focus with my special telephoto lens implanted in my mind to zero in on what makes me smile, what makes me feel Alive Let me take my forgotten sense of humor and put it safely back in my pocket, for later, when I need it most. Let me focus on what gives me hope Let me crystallize a picture right before me just as though I'm looking into the mirror which projects the reflection of my soul, of what makes me feel rewarded, a crystalline picture of what my purpose is, why I'm on this earth I enjoy giving, I enjoy making a difference, I savor moments when I feel I've tried as hard as I possibly can-simple things such as those give my heart its rhythmic beat I enjoy challenges, nothing is impossible, nothing will sidetrack me I am strong because I need to be now But, I have always been strong Each minute the vision is getting clearer reaching out until every second a picture is crystallizing Yes, I see me....the best of me....I've reached out and touched my soul, the part of me that others remember, the part people will talk about when I'm long gone from this world The part of me that is mine alone I'm touching and holding an elusive part of me that nobody and nothing can ever take away I feel a pleasant transformation taking place I feel like a shell is breaking around me, a shell I've wanted to shatter for a long time I feel like I've been wrapped in a cocoon until now I'm flying....flying so high....free at last....free at last... from the mental weights that kept me prisoner As I hug in my arms the best of myself, a part of myself I had lost, I clutch it close to my heart and hold it I forgive myself for anything I have done in the past Guilt, fear, despair, and turmoil melt off me like water filling a pool... making a river of sorrow that I'll never return to again. Let me know that happiness is there, free, for the taking, it's all mine now... It is free, just as I am now, free... Laughter, Youth, and Wonder-they are mine, scattered about like presents with ribbons, presents hidden in an enchanted forest- just as happiness hides in small things, things not yet done, things undiscovered... I salute myself for any lives I've changed,
