Let go

Today is what is known as the dark of the moon. The dark of the moon ends the previous moon cycle and offer us a pause, darkness, before we are able to see the sliver of light of the next new moon. It is a time where we are absorbing and assimilating everything that we learned in the previous moon cycle.It is where our real growth occurs. Today, take some time to look within and have dialogue with your soul. Let go of everything in your life that is weighing you down, so you can plant new seeds for tomorrow's Taurus New Moon. Let go so that you can grow.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I am willing to let go of my old patterns and negative beliefs. I joyously let go of all the people, places and things that no longer serves any purpose in my life to make room for new things to enter my life. I let go of all fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy for me. And so it is

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Every single person in your life is your mirror. What this means is that others are simply reflecting parts of your own consciousness back to you, giving you an opportunity to really see yourself and ultimately to grow. The qualities you most admire in others are your own and the same goes for those qualities you dislike. When you begin to understand that the world is a mirror of you, there is no room for blame, there is no room for judgement and there is no room to feel like a victim of another person's actions or words. There is only room for real love for yourself, based on understanding and gratitude. Today, begin to recognize that if you want to change anything in your relationships you must be the change you want to see. Today, treat yourself with respect and that will be mirrored back to you in all your relationships.

Just for today, I AM WORTHY OF RESPECT AND LOVE. In all my relationships were are all equal. We respect each others decisions. Other people respect me because I respect myself. I respect my boundaries and I insist others do too. I attract only loving people into my life for they are a mirror of who and what I am. As I change my thoughts and feelings about myself, the world around my changes. And so it is.

Optimism

Happy May! After a somewhat serious April, you can now breath a sigh of relief. This month ushers in a burst of optimism and joy. It can be a month of passion and prosperity if you continue to be true to what's in your heart because that is when infinite opportunities will appear for you. Today, begin this month by setting your intentions to stay true to yourself, take action towards your dreams and to remain optimistic no matter what you find along the way.

Just for today, I am dancing with joy. My optimism is contagious. My future is bright and beautiful and I am optimistic about my life path. I have faith that everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Slow down

Most of us feel like we don't have enough time to get everything we "need" to get done and therefore spend most of our days rushing around, trying to get one more thing done! However, some of the best things in life come to us slowly. This is a reminder for you to stop rushing and slow down. When you rush headlong into what you want to achieve, you can get easily frustrated with any hurdle, obstacle or slight delay, which inevitably happens in Life. You also miss the opportunity to accept and be grateful for the small steps you take. Slow is about building legacy, and along the way, resilience and stamina, which can only be won through endurance not speed. And, slow isn’t dull and boring, but contemplative and considered. It is the yin in a very yang world. Slow is the strength of surrender, and surrender can be the most powerful kind of victory of all. Today, become aware that in truth you can be so much more productive when you stop rushing and just slow down.

Just for today, I allow myself to stop rushing and slow down. I have plenty of time to do what I need to do. Time expands for me. I slowly breath in and out and I find myself relaxing with each breath. I am a beautiful flower blossoming more each day. I delight in my world and my world delights in me. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Prosperity thinking

As we end April, which was a month filled with lots of soul searching, it is now time for action. May's energy will teach you to pursue your passion and enjoy your life. Passion, purpose and prosperity are all intertwined and inter-related. Our new month will help to teach you that true prosperity isn't really a money issue, it is about you following your purpose with passion. By doing so, you will be able to truly experience abundance and prosperity. Many of us chase an illusion that when we amass a certain amount of money or things we will be "fine" because we expect it to bring us fulfillment. However, often when we achieve the wealth we were working for, we can be left feeling unsatisfied.Relentlessly pursuing a materialistic ideal is a breeding ground for anxiety and stress. Today, begin to become aware that true success and prosperity come from liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. Let the month of May help you find true prosperity through pursuing your purpose with passion.

Just for today, I know that enormous prosperity and power are available to me. I now choose to feel worthy and deserving. I give myself permission to feel and to be prosperous. I am an unlimited being, receiving from an unlimited source in an unlimited way. I always live in comfort and joy and everything in my life works now and forevermore And so it is.

Gratitude

Being thankful is one of the simplest, and yet most powerful, habits you can cultivate. By counting your blessings daily, you can begin to condition your mind to look for the good in everything around you. Soon enough, you’ll unconsciously begin to see the bright side of things and feel better about life. Today, choose to be grateful and you will find more to be grateful for.

Just for today, I am grateful. I recognize the more I am grateful the more I get to be grateful about. It is that simple. Everything I give out comes back to me. Gratitude has all sorts of surprising rewards. The more grateful I feel the more I become aware that the supply is endless. My day begins and ends in gratitude and joy. And so it is.

Joy

Many of us are focused on becoming better people every day. And, yet that doesn’t mean you are not wonderful right now. Perhaps being a better person to yourself means you allow yourself more joy, more freedom and more play. Relaxing and enjoying your life may seem contrary to making your life better. However, that might just be what your soul craves right now. Today, give yourself permission to find joy in your every day moments. Do more of what you love, enjoy being yourself, and look for the joy in every moment. Today, and every day make time for yourself and allow yourself to create, discover and experience more joy.

Just for today, I handle my life with joy and ease. I express joy and Life returns the favor. It is safe for me to experience more joy in every area of my life. I love Life. And so it is.

Conflict

When we face a conflict we face an opportunity to learn from pain. It’s like putting your hand against a hot burner on the stove. The burn warns you that you need to do something differently. However, our natural inclination when we are confronted with conflict is to outsource the blame, making it impossible to get the lesson and move on. So we continue to endure burning ourselves over and over again. And it is our need to be "right" that can keep us on a constant or re-occurring experience with conflict. We have conflicts with our co-workers, our boss, our neighbors, our partners and almost anyone in our lives. We constantly find conflict because we have the need to be right, the need to be appreciated and in some cases the need to feel like we won. Today, stop the cycle of fighting with yourself and others because you need to be right! Begin to consider the notion that there is no right in most situations, just two perspectives. Begin to look for your responsibility in your conflict. When you over extend yourself or have unclear expectations or boundaries with people you actually add to the chaos and conflict. Today, just accept what is. The opportunity to grow in conflict comes when you accept the other person’s limitations and take care of yourself without feeling indignant, bitter, or self-righteous. If you can do that, you can broaden your path from conflict toward compassion.

Just for today, divine harmony and peace dwells within me and around me. I feel tolerance, compassion and love for all people, including myself. I now choose to release all hurt and resentment. I am divinely protected, guided and loved. Everything is working out for my highest good and so it is.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment on purpose and without judgment. This can be done in your day-to-day activities like driving, eating, and in conversation. It can also be practiced as formal meditation. The simple practice of mindfulness can transform your relationship with your thoughts, give you new perspectives on life and it can free you from the hold that your emotions can have on you simply by allowing you to discover what's underneath your feelings. Today, even if you have shied away from or convinced yourself that you cannot meditate for whatever reason, make time in your busy life to stop, be still and listen. Being able to objectively look at your thoughts and feelings can allow you to re-frame any situation and can offer you the space to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. And, you will find that self-love and striving for self-improvement can have a ripple effect throughout your life affecting those around you for the better. You will find that the less stressed, the more compassionate and the happier you are—the better wife, partner, friend, daughter, and co-worker you can become. Your mindfulness in reality benefits your life. Today become aware that simply bringing mindfulness to your thoughts and actions can also bring you potent insights and will change your life.

Just for today, I am aware that when I quiet down and focus on the beautiful things in my life, I open myself up to my own healing powers. 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 know that when I create harmony in my mind and my heart, I will find them in my life. The inner creates the outer, always. And so it is.

Habits

Your life is essentially the sum of your habits.What you repeatedly do and what you spend your time thinking about and doing each day ultimately forms the person you are. They form the things you believe, and the personality that you portray. Habits in truth are not all together negative things for they govern our lives and allow us to engage in a multitude of daily tasks without overloading our brains.However, your habits can also be keeping you stuck and stopping you from growing and changing. Today, begin to become aware of the habits and routines that no longer serve any purpose in your life. Then, set your intentions on replacing those habits with new ones that support and promote your health and happiness. Begin to establish new routines, "habits" in your home and work life. In the long run, a little structure and some new habits can bring more happiness and freedom into your life.

Just for today, I choose to feel good about myself each day. Every morning I remind myself that I have a choice to feel good. This is a new habit for me to cultivate. For every habit, for every experience that I go through over and over, for every pattern I repeat there is a need within me for it. When I find a positive way to fulfill the need I can release the habit and the problem.I am willing to grow and change and I am always safe, divinely guided and protected. And so it is.

Words...

There is tremendous power in our words and when we think a thought or when we speak a word or write a sentence, it somehow goes out from us into the law of attraction and comes back to us as an experience. Furthermore, the words we use in our everyday life are so powerful that they can either destroy or build relationships with ourselves and other people. Today be mindful of the words you say to yourself and to others. Being mindful of your self-talk is one of the best forms of self-care and self-respect. You are whatever you believe yourself to be. If you think you are smart, beautiful, ugly, or stupid, that’s what your reality will become. You and I get to shape our own story by the words we choose to describe our lives and our experiences. Today, choose your words wisely because they will become your truth.

Just for today, I monitor my self talk, making certain that it is positive, uplifting and supportive of myself and others. I speak and think positively. I know that every word I speak is an affirmation, my subconscious and the universe is always listening. I joyously give to Life and Life lovingly gives back to me. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Faith

Sometimes when we hear someone talk about faith, we expect to hear about some kind of subjective encounter with supernatural forces. And, in this skeptical day and age, we can even begin to look at faith as believing in something you know not to be true; that you might be believing in something that is fictional or that we made up in our heads. However, faith comes in varying degrees and even if you do not see yourself as a faithful person, you are indeed one. No matter how big your brain is or how intellectual gifted you are, you still need faith in your life-faith that everything is always working out for your highest good, even if you don't know what that is yet.

Today, accept that you do not control everything, no matter how hard you try. Sometimes you just need to let go, relax and have faith. Have faith that you are strong enough to handle your challenges; wise enough to find solutions to your perceived problems and capable enough to do whatever needs to be done. Today, just breathe and have faith that everything is always works out for your best. Today, let go a little and just let life happen.

Just for today, I accept what is. I let go of what was and I have faith in what will be. I have faith in the unlimited loving power of the Universe. I have faith that everything is working out for my highest good. Life loves me. And so it is.

Reborn!

Every day offers you a new chance to be reborn and begin again. However, the only way you can do so is by letting go of the past and allowing yourself to see, feel and think in new ways. Today be willing to change. Be willing to see your life in a new way. Be willing to let go of the people, places and things that no longer serve you without fear and trepidation. Today, allow yourself to begin again, allow yourself to be reborn.

Just for today, I feel reborn. I am free from the past and I joyously welcome the new. I am reborn in all levels and in all expressions of time. Every morning I am reborn into a Life of infinite possibilities. I now live in limitless love, light and joy. All is truly well in my world. And so it is. Happy Easter!
