Fear

Fear holds so many people back in life. Fear of the outcome, fear of the unknown, fear of not being good enough, and fear of failing—we all experience fear at some time in our lives. Fear is a lack of trust in yourself, and because of this, you do not trust Life. You don’t trust that you will be taken care of on a higher level, so you feel that you must control everything from the physical level. Obviously, you are going to feel fearful because you can’t control everything in your life. Trust however is what you need to learn when you want to overcome your fears and make changes in your Life. Today, consciously choose to trust that everything works out in the perfect time and the perfect way, despite your best efforts to make things happen at your own time and in your own designated ways. Remember, the Power that supplies your breath and gave you Life is the same Power that created the Universe. Today, surrender and trust in that Power. Trust that you are and will be taken care of, even though you are not physically in control of everything that’s happening around you. Let go and trust.

Just for today, I am willing to release my fears. I free myself from all destructive fears and doubts. I release all fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy for me. I trust the Power that created me to protect me and guide me at all times and under all circumstances. In truth, I am always safe and Life supports me in every possible way. And so it is.

Surprise

It’s no secret, life is full of surprises when you least expect it. While some of us thrive in those conditions, others do not, needing to maintain control of what happens in their lives at all times-or at least that is what they think/believe.

Surprises, however, are like small gifts that can teach us that we, in truth, are not in control. Surprises teach us that we truly never know the good or the challenges that await us and that is the true beauty of this life. Today, don't be in a rush to figure it all out! Today, embrace the unknown and let Life surprise you. Allow yourself to be open to the new and unexpected and stop trying to control everything in your life. You might be surprised at what you find when you leave yourself open to all the surprises that Life throws your way!

Just for today, I recognize that Life is an exciting surprise. I awaken in the morning looking for positive experiences and I find them in the most unexpected places. Change and surprise are evident everywhere I go and I look with delight at all I see. I am willing to learn new things every day and I am open to the new and changing. I am safe. It is only change and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Ask for help

You are not meant to go through anything alone. If there’s something you want to achieve or a desire that you want to manifest you do not need to do it all alone-find others to help you on your journey. There are many people waiting to help you however, you must take care in who you choose to ask for help. Do not go back to an "old well" that has dried up. Do not ask for help from people, who have already shown you that they cannot or will not help you because they are too mired in their own ego and illusion to help anyone but themselves. Look for new opportunities to collaborate with people, who are capable of supporting you on your new path and together you will be able to achieve anything you desire. Together we are much better!

Just for today, I do not struggle in the wilderness of life. Whenever I need help I ask. I know that it is okay to ask for help. I give help when others need it and I ask for help when I need it. I ask for help. I tell Life what I want and then I allow it to happen.I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Gratitiude

The Universe loves grateful people. The more moments you spend being grateful for, the more good will enter your life. If you have little in your life now,then gratitude will increase it. If you have an abundant life, then gratitude will help it to continue to be abundant. Gratitude increases the abundance in your life. Today, do not focus on what you don’t have and begin to focus on all the things you do. An attitude of gratitude is naturally attractive. It has the power to turn challenges into possibilities, problems into solutions, and losses into gains. It shifts the energy. It expands your vision and allows you to see what might normally be invisible to someone who limits themselves by remaining in a state of lack and limitation. Today, spend as many moments as you can being grateful for all the good that’s in your life. Today, just be grateful for it all!

Just for today, I awaken appreciating everything in sight and I give thanks. I express gratitude and thanksgiving every day, in every way. The more grateful I am, the more I have to be grateful for. I am grateful to be alive another day and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Boundaries-the dangers of being too nice

Many of us find ourselves focusing on everyone else's needs before our own, However, by putting everyone else's needs before your own, you are in truth teaching other people how to treat you by your own actions and attitudes toward yourself. By always being the great rescuer and sacrificing yourself and your needs to help others, you attract the sort of people, who want and need to be rescued, and for whom it has to be all about them.

Today, begin to realize that ultimately, it boils down to the fact that you think others are worth more than yourself. If you are confident in your love for yourself and treat yourself as if we are worthy, then that is what you will attract in return. Today, focus on what you need. Respect and value yourself and your needs more. Make yourself a priority. You just might find that you get a lot more of that respect and value in return.

Just for today, I deserve the best and I accept it now. All my needs are met before I even ask. I deserve to have boundaries and my boundaries are respected. I love and honor myself and all is truly well in the world. And so it is.

Open new doors to life

Anxiety is defined as a feeling of worry, nervousness, or uneasiness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. Although none of us enjoy feeling anxious and we may try everything to numb out those feelings, feeling anxious, just like feeling sad, is a part of life and at certain times can even be helpful. For you see, your thoughts trigger emotions and your emotions trigger a signal to you that something has to be addressed within-that something is not quite right. Today, instead of searching for ways to avoid or numb out your anxiety about the unknown recognize that all your emotions are your "friends". If you are experiencing anxiety around your job, relationship, or with an upcoming event, take the time to question why you are feeling anxious and then, invite the answers to come. Today, recognize that anxiety, like fear, can be wonderful catalyst in opening doors to something greater. Be willing to open some new doors to life. Be willing to let your anxiety be your friend and allow it to help you to change.

Just for today, I listen to my feelings and I am gentle with myself. I know that all my feelings are my friends. I recognize that Life loves me and I trust things to be wonderful. I observe with joy as Life abundantly supports and cares for me.I know that only good awaits me at every turn and that everything is working out for my highest good. Out of this situation only good will come and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Creativity

Each of us has an innate creative energy waiting to be expressed. Kids do it all the time, when they play, do crafts, or tell stories. . But, at some point, we "grow up", we start trading creative expression for fitting in, achieving academic success or just "adulting". And, not using your creativity can have some real, negative impacts on your life, relationships, and even your health.By not expressing your creativity, you hide a part of your true self. By not using your innate creativity, you give your power up to create your own life. Today is the day that you reclaim your creativity. Your creativity and inspiration are just waiting to be expressed. Today begin sharing your creative gifts with the world around you and create the life you desire.

Just for today, I recognize that the key to creativity is knowing that my thinking creates my experience. I use this key in every area of my life. I am learning to be more creative every day.I release all resistance to expressing my creativity fully. My unique creative talents and abilities flow through me and are expressed in deeply satisfying ways. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Alone but not lonely

Some people think it’s awful to spend time alone—that it means they are antisocial or that no one needs them or loves them. Some people feel sad and lonely when they don’t have company every evening or weekend. But being alone doesn’t mean that no one needs you or loves you. It can actually be quite useful to take some time to yourself. When you’re alone, nothing prevents you from listening to your inner voice, heart, and mind. Today, seek some solitude and allow yourself to tune into your inner voice that has so much to tell you. Today, don't be afraid of being alone. It can help you understand who you are, what you want, and what you can do to become more of who you are and what really makes you happy and fulfilled. Sometimes the best place you can be is alone. Enjoy the stillness.

Just for today, I recognize that my alone time is just as fulfilling as the time I spend with others. I always have the perfect balance between solitude and community. I allow myself to be quiet and still and I am amazed at what I discover. Life is just waiting to share its secrets with me. I am safe, divinely guided and protected and so it is.

Full Moon Magic

It's a Super Full Moon in Virgo and she's big and beautiful. In fact, this Snow Moon is the largest and the closest Full Moon of this year. Full Moons are always a time of culminations and endings. Yet, with this larger-than-life Supermoon, the Universe is reminding you that with endings also come new awesome beginnings. Everything about this day is reminding you to LET GO of what hasn't been working for you and turn your attention toward new ways of being. Today, by the vibes of this big Full Moon, let go of all the people, places, things, beliefs and habits that have been holding you back and keeping you mired in the past. Then, take some time to dream, imagine and intuit, while you are healing your past. Today let this Full Moon work magic in your life.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I joyously let go of all the things that no longer serve me. I let go of all fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy for me. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

This present moment

Life unfolds in the present. But so often, we let the present moment slip away, allowing time to rush past us unobserved, unnoticed and squandering the precious seconds of our lives as we worry about the future and ruminate about the past. However, only in the present moment can you create your future. If you’re holding on to the past, you can’t be in the present. It’s only in this “now” moment that your thoughts and words are powerful.

Today, recognize that you cannot create the future that you desire from the garbage of your past and that living in your past or worrying about your future is robbing you of what's really happening to you in this present moment. You only get one shot at life, and you don’t have a whole lot of control over what happens to you in it. Today take advantage of the choices that you do have. Today choose to be amazed about each and every present moment. Choose to live in this present moment.

Just for today, I recognize that the past is over and has no power over me. The thoughts of this moment create my future. I give myself the gift of freedom from the past and move with joy into the now. My point of power is always in the present moment. I claim that power now and consciously create my future. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

The basics

Just for today, I return to the basics of life-forgiveness, gratitude, courage, love and humor. No person, place or things has any power over me for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it. I am beautiful and everyone loves me. I am loved an accepted exactly as I am right here and right now and everything in my life works now and forevermore. And so it is.

Faith

This year is all about profound change and to make those changes you may have heard you need to "take a leap of faith". However, faith doesn’t have to be a blind leap. It can be what you carry with you in each step you take in your daily life, as the rule and not the exception. For it is with faith that you can accomplish your dreams; it is with faith that you can build visions of new beginnings, filled with possibilities; it is with faith that your creativity grows; and it is with faith that you can take hold of the energy you need to carry you through all the changes that you are going through. Faith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of something larger than yourself and the firm belief that you are always connected to that goodness. Today, surrender and let go of your planning, wondering, worrying and over- thinking and allow yourself to have faith. Faith may not instantly bring you what you desire, but it will show you the way to go after it for yourself. Today affirm your faith in the face of doubt with thoughts that things will work out, things will improve and that in truth everything always works out for your highest and best good, despite your fear and because of your faith.

Just for today, I am now surrendered to the perfect un-foldment of my life within a loving and supportive Universe.I trust the process of life. Nothing in the past or present interferes with the Divine Right Flow of my Life. I have faith in the unlimited loving power of the Universe. I am safe. It is only change and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Forgive your parents..forgive your past

We all have family patterns, and it is very easy for us to blame our parents, our childhood, or our environment for the present condition of our lives. If we grew up in a family where criticism was the norm, then we are going to be critical as adults. If we grew up in a family where we were not allowed to express our anger, then we are probably terrified of anger and confrontation. As we grow up, we begin to live these false ideas and lose touch with our inner wisdom. However, there comes a time in all of our lives that we need to stop blaming our childhoods for our present behavior.

Today is that day! Today you can begin to realize that you can go beyond your family’s limitations. You are the one who suffers when you hold on to past grievances. You give the situations and the people in your life power over you, and those same situations and people keep you mentally enslaved. They will continue to control you if you stay stuck in your “unforgiveness.” Today allow yourself to let go of the beliefs that continue to hurt you and in reality are not true nor were they ever true. Today let go and free yourself from the needless cycle of pain, anger and recrimination that keeps you imprisoned in your own suffering and prevents you from creating positive, relationships with yourself and others. Today, forgive your parents, your past, and then let go so you can truly heal yourself and live in this present moment. You so deserve it.

Just for today, I forgive everyone in my past for all perceived wrongs. I release them with love. I forgive my parents for all past perceived hurts and I am free to love myself. I love myself enough to move beyond my parents limitations. I am now a complete, secure, independent adult, fully capable of taking care of myself and sharing my love and strength with the world around me. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.
