Relax and enjoy your life!

The door to your heart and to your dreams opens inward. This means that you must learn to relax before you can solve your perceived problems. You may feel that if only you could solve your problems, you could relax. But it doesn’t work that way. In order to take the pressure off, you need to make space in your heart for other possibilities to happen. Today, allow yourself to relax and just let life happen. You already have everything you need in your life right now. Today, slow down and enjoy Life!

Just for today, I create a stress free world for myself. I will not stress over the things I cannot control. I relax and enjoy life. I know that whatever I need is revealed to me at the perfect time in the perfect way. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Blue Moon lessons

We are blessed with a big, beautiful Blue Full Moon! A Blue Moon is when you have two Full Moons in a row in the same sign-in this case both of the Full Moons have been in Libra. When this happens, you and I have an opportunity to re-learn the lessons the previous lunation has brought us, in a way that culminates with a sense of closure and clarity. And because Libra is the sign of justice and balance, we may have been encountering situations that don’t seem fair. Our challenge is not to descend into an ‘us and them’ mentality, looking to for a winner. But rather to strive for mutual beneficial solutions-for the" just result". Our challenge is to bring balance into all areas of our lives, especially in all your relationships. So, today if you are feeling the need for more respect, appreciation, independence and freedom, then know that you are on the right track. Don't fight it and do not try to "win". On the road to balance it is inevitable that we all must learn how to dance with the opposing side. It’s up to us whether we embrace the challenge as an opportunity for growth or to polarize and escalate the conflict through a perspective of competition rather than co-operation. In truth, no one wins in those situations. Today, use this energy to help you find the balance in your life, in your relationships, which will ultimately bring you greater peace and power.

Just for today, I recognize that in any situation that I have the choice between love and fear. I choose love. In all my relationships we are all equal and respect each other’s decisions. I recognize that working together is a part of the purpose of life. I love the people I work with. Everyone I encounter today has my best interest at heart. I know that everyone in my life has something to teach me. We have a purpose for being together. Other people respect me because I respect myself. . And so it is.

Be willing to let go!

Tomorrow we have a powerful Full Moon in Libra, which may bring uncertainty and tension to your relationships. Full Moons are a time of reflection, culmination and letting go of what does not serve you any longer. Since tomorrow's full moon will be so potent today would be a great day to prepare for it. Today, make some time to ponder your relationships with others and with yourself-how you treat yourself and where you give in to and put other's needs before your own needs. Libra is all about balance and this Full Moon will absolutely show you where and with whom you need to restore balance and in some cases, you just need to let go of.

Just for today, I gladly get rid of the thoughts, beliefs and relationships I no longer need so that new ones can take their place. In the process I bring much joy into my life. I am my own best friend. Other friends may come and go but I am always here with myself and for myself. I support myself in feeling good. I am wiling to let go. And so it is.

Enthusiasm is contagious!

Have you ever noticed how powerful enthusiasm is? It can actually be contagious. If someone around you is enthusiastic there’s a certain energy or presence that shines from them that can be infectious. It doesn’t even matter what they’re enthusiastic about; if you're in their presence, it’s easy to be lifted up by their energy. Today, greet this day and everything you encounter with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm, when directed toward something healthy, gives you the power to imagine, create, and enjoy, all that is rooted deep within your own sense of self, possibility, and passion. Enthusiasm is simultaneously a gift to yourself and a gift to the world. It’s immersing yourself in the flow of your enjoyment. It’s gratitude in action. In fact, enthusiasm is awakening. It makes you feel alive and part of something greater than just yourself and it is contagious. So, today, go ahead and share your joy and enthusiasm with the world-and you will find that it instantly will become a better place to live in.

Just for today, my day begins in gratitude and joy. I look forward with enthusiasm to the adventures of the day, knowing that in my life all is well. I perform all tasks with energy and enthusiasm. I am a joyful breeze entering a room and everything I touch is a success. I know that Life loves me and everything in my life works now and forevermore. And so it is.

Blame

We often create situations and then we give our power away by blaming another person for our frustrations. And, when you blame another, you give our power away because in reality you are placing the responsibility for your feelings on someone else. Today, begin to become aware that blaming other people for how you feel is a waste of time. People in your life may behave in ways that trigger uncomfortable responses. However, they didn’t get into your mind and create the buttons that have been pushed. Today, begin to take responsibility for your own feelings and reactions. In doing so, you begin to is master your “ability to respond.” In other words, you learn to consciously choose rather than simply react. Today, consciously choose to stop looking for something or someone to blame for how you feel. Know that in any moment you have a choice on how you choose to react and what you choose to believe. Today, choose to forgive and consciously reclaim you power to create your own reality.

Just for today, I release the need to blame anyone, including myself. We are all doing the best we can with the knowledge understanding and awareness that we have right now. It does not matter what other people say or do. What does matter is how I choose to respond and what I choose to believe about myself. No person, place or thing has any power over me for I am the only thinker in my mind. And so it is.

Nourish your body and soul

You are a spiritual being having a human experience. That means you need to nourish your soul as well as your body. Today, make sure you are taking care of both parts of you equally. Make sure you are eating well, staying grounded and getting the rest you need. Also be sure you are engaging in activities that are joyful for your rather than getting bogged down in your responsibilities. Remember anything you desire in your outer world begins with your relationship with yourself. Take care of that self today and you'll be much more able to create the life you desire.

Just for today, nourishing myself is a joyful experience and I am worth the time I spend on my healing. I listen to my body and I give it what it needs . I nourish myself by saying yes when I mean yes and no when I mean no. I know what I want and I do not need to apologize for it. I am grateful for my healthy body, mind and spirit. I love Life and so it is.

Loneliness

No matter whether you have lots of friends or family in your life, you can still experience loneliness and it can be a terrible experience. And yet, it’s an experience that many of us create and perpetuate for ourselves. More times than not, when we are suffering from loneliness it’s because we have isolated ourselves by playing the victim of life. Our loneliness is accompanied by a feeling of being trapped. It’s as if our life is set in stone and there’s no escaping from our fate. We may also feel helpless and hopeless, wishing that God or someone would rescue us from our lonely despair. Today is the day that you recognize that the only one who can rescue you is YOU! For sure, God/Spirit can assist, but only after you have decided to help yourself first. Today, begin to affirm that you are worthy of healthy, positive, loving, authentic relationships. The more you believe you are worthy the more you will project that belief to the world. Then, the world will begin to see you with new eyes because you are allowing them to see the real you for the very first time. No longer will they see the poor pitiful victim. Now they will see a vibrant person who obviously feels good about themselves. The choice is yours. Today, choose to feel worthy of love. Choose to know that you are good enough to have healthy relationships, no matter what you "think" is wrong with you. Choose to love and accept yourself. The world is your mirror choose to love and to accept yourself and that is exactly what will be reflected back to you.

Just for today, my consciousness is filled with healthy, positive, loving thoughts that reflect themselves in my experiences. I am safe in all my relationships. I give and receive lots of love. I only attract loving people into my world for they are a mirror of who and what I am. I am safe and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Let go...

Life is truly a series of letting go so that we can bring new knowledge, new people and new ideas into our lives. However, as humans we can become attached to almost anything-people, places, things, and beliefs. It is those attachments, as Buddha said, that are at the core of all of our struggles, frustrations, anxiety, anger, sadness, grief and worry. Our struggles come from being too tightly attached to something.When we’re worried, we are tightly attached to how we want things to be, rather than relaxing into accepting whatever might happen when we put forth our best effort. When we’re frustrated with someone, it’s because we’re attached to how we want them to be, rather than accepting them as the wonderful flawed human they are. Yet, letting go is not as easy as it sounds and takes as much energy as you have spent being attached. Today, make some time to connect inward, begin to view your conflicts through eyes of compassion. Begin to accept what is right in front of you in this present moment. At the heart most attachment is you not wanting things to be the way they are. You want something different. Today, begin to expect the unexpected; let go of the people places, things and beliefs that no longer serve. And, just observe and accept what happens with love.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I let go of all the no longer serves me to make room in my life for new things to take their place. I let go of all fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy for me. And so it is.

Addictions

Heavy dependence upon anything outside ourselves is addiction. We all know that we can be addicted to drugs and alcohol, to sex and tobacco or to working. However, we can also be addicted to blaming and judging other people, to illness, to debt, to being a victim or a martyr, to being rejected or to struggling.Yet, we always have the power to move beyond those things. Because being addicted is giving up your power to a substance, a habit, a person, place or thing, you can always take your power back. Today, is the day ! Today, recognize that in every moment you have a choice. Today, choose to develop the positive habit of knowing that life is always here for you-that life happens for you not to you. No substance, no person, no job, no amount of money has any power over your life except the power that you have given it. Today consciously reclaim you power and create the life you desire. You always have a choice!

Just for today, I stand on my own two feet. I accept and use my own power. I accept that in every moment I have the power to change my life. I claim that power now and I lovingly create my own reality. And so it is.

Be proud!

One of the greatest ironies of being human is that we’re often hardest on ourselves right when we should be most proud. You and I have been doing some pretty heavy work on ourselves, which may have dredged up our deepest insecurities, triggered feelings we would rather ignore, and that has made us come face to face with the most fragile, vulnerable parts of ourselves. And, yet there may not be any "visible" signs of the changes that we have been making to the outside world! Today instead of criticizing yourself for not doing enough, doing it fast enough, doing it well enough for it to count, choose to be proud. Be proud of your strength, your efforts, your progress, and the fact that you that you keep going. Whether you were wounded, weary, or worried, you keep getting back up. You keep moving forward. You keep evolving. You and I are doing the best we can. And that’s something worth celebrating. Today, do not wait until you reach your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take as you move forward.

Just for today, I am proud of myself. I am excited about the person I am becoming. My life can grow and expand to be as big and glorious as I want it to be. I see myself as beautiful, lovable and appreciated. I am proud to be me. And so it is.

Happiness is an inside job

Everything you want to create in your outer world begins inside of yourself. However, many of us have been conditioned to believe that happiness is derived from people, events, or outcomes-things outside ourselves. Today, become aware that in truth you already have everything that you need in order to be happy and to live an extraordinary life. Your own happiness always resides within you. Happiness isn’t conditional, but rather it is a choice. Today, recognize that In every moment, you have the power to determine whether you will view events in your life from a positive or negative lens. And, that if you continue to believe that your happiness is connected to things outside of yourself, you will never experience true fulfillment in life. Chasing happiness only leads to pain and suffering.Today become aware that you are responsible for your own happiness. Do not assign anyone or anything else that responsibility. Do not give away your power to be happy. Today, recognize that your own happiness is always an inside job.

Just for today, I recognize that happiness is an inside job. I choose thoughts that make me feel happy and loved. I know that loving myself and thinking good thoughts are the quickest way to creating a wonderful life. I act as if I already have what I want. It is an excellent way to create happiness in my life. I choose to think happy and positive thoughts. I choose happiness and I choose to make the rest of my life, the best of my life. And so it is.

You are good enough!

Your thoughts create your world, and you can absolutely take charge of them. It is impossible to overstate the importance of paying attention to what stories you’re telling yourself and learning how to change those stories into ones that best serve you. Feelings of inadequacy always start with negative thoughts that you have about yourself. However, those thoughts have no power over you unless you act upon them. Thoughts are only words strung together. They have no meaning whatsoever. Only you give meaning to them, and you do so by focusing on the negative messages over and over again in your mind. Today, begin to change the stories you tell yourself. Change the channel that keeps running the same stories that you just aren't good enough. Change your running dialog to "you are always perfect, always beautiful, and ever-changing." "You are doing the best you can with the understanding, knowledge and awareness that you have right now." And accept that as you grow and change more and more, your “best” self will only get better and better. Change your story to you are always good enough and it will then become your truth.

Just for today, I am good enough. I am perfectly happy to be me. I love and approve of myself exactly as I am. I am beautiful and everyone loves me. And so it is.

Flexible and flowing

The path forward toward your future is often not a straight line. In fact, it may even take going back and forth in order for you to find clarity. And while you are finding clarity, it might feel like you are experiencing a tug of war between your conscious mind and your soul. Your ego will crave security and the easiest choice. Your soul craves individuality and the road less traveled. Today, let go of your expectations of what exactly your future should look like and allow yourself to be flexible and flowing. Make certain that whatever you are doing is being true to yourself and your heart rather than pursuing the goals that you "think" that you should want. Lots of unimaginable goodness can enter your life when you let go of your attachment to the outcome and just allow it to happen.

Just for today, I let go of all my expectations, knowing that Life will always take care of me. I let go of all my expectations and I flow freely and lovingly with Life. I love myself and I know that only good awaits me at every turn. I am always divinely guided, protected and loved. And everything in my Life works now and forevermore. And so it is.
