You cannot change other people

It’s pointless to run around trying to heal all of your friends. You cannot force others to change. You can offer them a positive space where they have the possibility to change if they wish, but you cannot do it for or to another person.. Each person is here to work out his or her own lessons, and if you fix it for them, then they will just go and do it again, because they have not worked out what they needed to learn for themselves. All we can do is love them and allow them to be who they are. Today, just accept the people around you for exactly as they are and accept yourself for exactly who you are too!

Just for today, I recognize that if I want to be loved and accepted as I am, I have to be willing to love and accept others as they are. I cannot learn other people's lessons for them. They must do their own work and they will do it when they are ready. I cannot change other people. I accept them as they are and I simply love who I am. And so it is.

Flexible and flowing

“Whatever is flexible & flowing will tend to grow, whatever is rigid & blocked will wither and die.”

Today allow your mind to drift without worrying about being productive. Sometimes, letting go and allowing your life to happen can help you much more than continuing to push and "make things happen.". And when you allow yourself to stop fighting and flow, you might just be surprised at what you find-you just may find exactly what you’ve be searching for.

Just for today, my personality is flexible; it is easy for me to change. I am open to the new and changing and every moment presents another opportunity to become more of who I am. My inner being is consistent. I am always safe. I am flexible and flowing and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is

Balance in all areas of your life

Life is truly all about balance. You do not always need to be getting stuff done. Sometimes, it is perfectly okay, even necessary, to shutdown, kick back and chill out.

Just for today, I balance my life between work, rest and play. My mind and my body are in perfect balance. I am a harmonious being and everything in my life works now and forevermore. And so it is.

Begin anew..

Tonight, is a New Moon in Aquarius and this New Moon also ushers in a new Lunar Year-the Year of the Pig. Since the start of this year, you and I have been walking the bridge between the old and the new. We have been given opportunities to clear the past and lessons on which we can build our future. Perhaps it hasn’t been very clear what direction you should turn, but now with this New Moon, you and I are going to see the way clearer as our individual paths unfold.

This New Moon and this Lunar New Year are the perfect time to plant seeds and set intentions; to begin new projects and new ventures; to take a leap from your comfort zones and go after your wildest dreams and wishes. No more playing small, no more dumbing down your life or following the status quo, this is a time to rise and claim your power. This is a time to live up to the truth of your soul. However, YOU must put an end to the bad habits, to the repetitive patterns, to the beliefs that are keeping you stuck, and the only way to do this, the only way to begin this journey is to love yourself, to release yourself from judgement, and to begin embracing all that you are. Today, under this New Moon energy, begin to stand tall in who you are, begin to listen to your soul and allow yourself to rise above your self- imposed limitations and realize in truth of you can do anything, you can become anything you desire, if you are listening to your soul and acting upon its guidance.

Just for today,I begin anew and claim and create all that is good. I gladly rid myself of thoughts and beliefs that I no longer need so that new ones can take their place. In the process, I bring much joy into my life. Life brings me only good experiences and I am open to new and wonderful changes. And so it is.

Patience

When we are impatient,it is usually because we do not want to take time to learn the lesson at hand. We want it done now. Or, as I once heard: "Instant gratification is not soon enough." There is always something to learn, something to know. Patience is being at peace with the process of life, knowing that everything happens in the perfect time/space sequence. If you are not having completion now, then there is something more for you to know.

Being impatient does not speed up the process; it only wastes time. So, today when you find yourself bewildered, frustrated or just plan over it all-breathe deeply, go within, and ask, "What do I need to know?" Then patiently wait to receive the help that is always all around you. This life is a continuum, an every changing process, today become patient with that process, be patient with yourself.

Just for today, I recognize that patience is being at peace with the process of life. I will not allow noise, distractions or chatter to distract me. I will allow patience, commitment, grace and purpose to guide me. In truth, all is truly well in my world and so it is.

Divine Timing

You are exactly where you need to be. And, although you may understand that concept, it can sometimes be a really tough concept to hold onto when you are feeling impatient or uncertain about something in your life. We all have things in life that we wish would happen sooner… challenges we wish we could overcome faster… and a vision for our future that we wish we could magically become our reality.

But the universe doesn’t work that way, and we are often required to summon enormous amounts of trust and patience as we follow the path toward our greatest dreams and goals. Today, begin to trust in divine timing. Begin to become aware that in truth, all things manifest at the exact right time, in just the right way, and everything that you encounter along your path serves you in a beautiful and profound way – even if you must endure challenge and struggle in order to acquire the wisdom. Today begin to learn and to integrate perhaps the greatest lesson of all to trust in the timing of your life-to trust in the divine timing.

Just for today, I trust in the perfection of divine timing and allow my life to unfold as it should. Everything I need comes to me at the perfect time in the perfect way. I am in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. I am divinely guided, protected and loved. And so it is.

Choose to be at peace

When you create peace, harmony and balance in your mind you will find it in your life. Today, make it your intention to find balance, peace and harmony within yourself and then you will find it in your life.

Just for today, no person, place or thing has any power over me for I am the only thinker in my mind. The Universe totally supports every thought I choose to think and believe. I have unlimited choices on what to think. I choose balance, harmony and peace and I express in my life. I am in harmony and peace with all things that surround me in this world. I am at peace and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Take a risk

Today, we begin a new month and the energy for this month will support you in moving full steam ahead in putting your intentions into action-it is time for you to really stretch yourself and take some risks. The courage to risk what you have for the potential of gaining more, for the potential for personal growth, is a fundamental element to achieving your goals, your dreams and for any personal growth.

Today, begin this month by taking a risk so that you can move forward. Truly living and growing requires risk. And not all risks pan out the way you hope or imagine. Sometimes those risks temporarily may take you to places that are darker than the life you were living before. They may even require you to let go of what you think you need or what once brought you joy in order for you to grow.There is no guarantee that you will experience more joy than before, but the only way to discover what’s possible is to take a risk, make a change, and find out.

Just for today, I do something different. I am willing to move out of my comfort zone and experience life in a whole new way. I am willing to grow and change. And so it is.

Moving forward

As we end the first month of this year, it is time for you to take stock on what concrete, practical actions you want to take moving forward. January's eclipses helped you to clarify what you really, really want and helped stoked the fires in your heart. However, moving forward into unknown territory can be frightening. If you are doing something that scares you, know that you are doing your best. If you’re doing something you’ve failed at before, know that you are doing your best. If you are doing something that you feel like you’re failing at now, know that you are doing your best. And more importantly, regardless of what you achieve, know that you deserve your own respect and admiration for being a person who is willing to try. February holds so much potential for growth and momentum to move forward. Keep moving forward with love and respect for yourself for doing the best you can.

Just for today, I choose to feel good about myself. Every morning I remind myself that I have the choice to feel good. This is a new habit for me to cultivate. I release the need to blame anyone, including myself. We are all doing the best with the knowledge, understanding and awareness that we have. All my experiences are a part of the fullness and richness of life. Out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Become young again

When we were children we had no concept of worrying about the future and living up to responsibilities or overwhelming to-do lists. We felt no embarrassment in falling, failing, or showing anyone exactly how we felt and who we were. However, somewhere along the line of our becoming adults, we lose that spontaneity, sunshine and authenticity. Today, you can intentionally take steps to recapture the carefree feelings and genuine joy that you felt as a child. Begin by approaching today with child-like wonder. Drop the masks of who you feel you're supposed to be and just have fun being yourself.

Just for today, I express the joy of living and allow myself to enjoy every day totally. I become young again. I allow the playful child within me to emerge and have fun. I remind myself to not take things so seriously. Life brings me only good experiences and I am at peace with the rhythm and flow of my ever changing life. And so it is.

Inner listening...

All your life there has been an inner voice offering guidance, gently and sometimes much more urgently. Sometimes you listened and other times you brushed it aside and thought nothing of it. This voice goes by different names: inner voice, inner guide, intuition, spiritual guide, inner wisdom, or whatever you choose.It’s not a voice you hear necessarily, but a sense or a feeling (though it can be a voice for some). It can be a hunch or fleeting feeling, image, or impression-"a gut feeling".

You don’t have to be an intuitive person to experience this. In fact, you are constantly taking in impressions throughout the day with your finely tuned senses and processing them. Today, tune in to that inner voice, to those gut feelings because they hold your truth and are incredible valuable. Accessing that inner guidance enables you to become better at handling problems or, in general, handling life. Today, make time to be still and quiet whether it is through meditation or taking a walk in nature, make the time to listen to your inner voice because it has all the answers to all your questions. . Today, listen.!

Just for today, I trust my intuition. I listen with love to my inner voice. I am willing to listen to that small still voice within me. And when I do I hear all the answers to all the questions I shall ever ask. My intuition is always on my side. I trust it to be there at all times. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Expectations...

Can you imagine how wonderful it would be if you could live your life without ever being criticized or judged by anyone? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to feel totally at ease, totally comfortable? You would get up in the morning and you would know you were going to have a wonderful day, because everybody would love you and nobody would criticize you, judge you or put you down. You would just feel great.

You know what? Today, you can give this to yourself. You can make the experience of living with you the most wonderful experience imaginable. You can wake up in the morning so thrilled to find yourself and feel the joy of spending another day with you. Today, consciously remember that every time you judge or a criticize yourself, you are sending something out that is going to come back to you. Today, choose to send love and acceptance.

Just for today, I notice all the good experiences coming my way. I express infinite love and gratitude. I lovingly speak up for myself. I attract respect. I am constantly creating more good in my life. Everything falls into place and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Jealousy

Every outer situation that prompts an emotion inside us is another opportunity for us to heal something. It is a sign to become conscious of something inside of us that we may have been repressing or afraid to look at. You can be assured that any emotion that we have been afraid to experience, will continue to surface until we have faced it head on.

Jealousy is one of those emotions and is a powerful teacher-it can actually help you to grow and to heal. Jealousy happens when you compare yourself with others -a dangerous and losing proposition. Today, if jealousy should arise, begin to recognize it as a signal that you may be spending too much time focusing on the wrong person/people-not yourself and your blessings. You may be spending too much time on social media.

In truth, we are all intended to be different and unique. Today, when/if the green monster of jealousy and envy arises, slay the monster by returning your focus to your life in this present moment and celebrate it because you and I are beautiful unique creatures, doing what we are intended to do, living our own unique beautiful lives.

Just for today, I accept my uniqueness. There is no competition or comparison for we are all different and meant to be that way. I am special and wonderful and I love myself. I rejoice in other's successes, knowing there is plenty for all of us. I am enough, I have enough and all is truly well in my world.
