Be grateful for change

Change is one of our greatest teachers. It asks us every day to prove our commitment to ourselves. It leads us to dark places and allows us to fill them with light. It shows us things we never knew about ourselves. And before we know it, it shows us how strong and powerful we are. Today, welcome in new ideas, new plans and new ways of being. Welcome in the changes that are happening in your life and be grateful for them all.

Just for today, I am grateful for change. I am grateful for every experience that I have every had for they have shaped me into the person I am today and that is exactly who I am supposed to be right now. I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. I am safe. It is only change and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Seasons change and so can you

We are being prepared for autumn, a time of introspection and of letting go. As the trees begin to let go of their leaves, we are also being given the opportunity to release what doesn't serve us now so we can blossom more fully in the future. This is an opportunity for you to finally free yourself from limiting past beliefs and past life programming. Today, begin to notice if you've have issues come up around maintaining your boundaries, claiming your personal power or career challenges. Look at any situation in your life now where you're experiencing the same stumbling blocks that you just can't seem to get away from. Then, let go of any beliefs that belittle your worth. No matter where you are in your life, you most likely haven't been giving yourself enough credit. Today, allow yourself to release what isn't serving you so that you can prepare for prosperous, new beginnings.

Just for today, I willingly release the need for struggle or suffering. I deserve all that is good. I let go of everything that does not benefit me-objects, beliefs, patterns and relationships. I now accept that I am worthy of love and respect. I am worthy of the very best in life and I now lovingly allow myself to accept it. I am excited about the person that I am becoming and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You are lovable!

Everything in your outer world is a mirror of what goes on in your mind. If you want to find love and acceptance, then that’s what you must first give to yourself. And, loving yourself has nothing to do with vanity or arrogance—those emotions are only expressions of fear. When you love yourself, you cherish and appreciate the wondrous being that you are. If you find it difficult or scary to accept love and to let love into your life, it’s only because you haven’t been willing to love yourself. Today, consciously open your heart to yourself and you will find that it will become easier to let others love you. Today, stop criticizing yourself—now and forevermore. Love and accept yourself as you are right now. When you do, you’ll blossom in ways that you can’t even imagine. Love will heal you. Your love for yourself will work miracles in your life. Today, acknowledge and accept that I am lovable!

Just for today, I recognize that the greatest gift that I can give myself is unconditional love. I am worth loving. I am lovable. I am loving. I am loved. I am love. I am safe and all Life loves and supports me. And so it is.

Shame

Shame. Everybody has it. Nobody wants to talk about it. However, the less we talk about it, the more power it actually has over us. Moreover, shame goes to the core of our being and can make us feel as if there is something inherently wrong with us-that we are just not good enough. And, when you are in shame, you are not able to see the bigger picture. You feel alone, exposed, deeply flawed and want to isolate or to hide. Today, it is time to shine a light on your shame-on the things you have done or been that you continue to hold onto and hide from the world-and then let them go. Today, acknowledge, forgive, and let go. You may want to share your "secrets" with someone you trust and by doing so, you may find that you are not alone in your shame and that what you are most shameful about really in the light of day isn't so bad, after all. You may discover that your shame has less power over your present moment. You just might find that you are in truth good enough.

Just for today, I am perfectly happy to be me. I am good enough just as I am. I love and approve of myself. I am joy expressing and receiving. I forgive myself and I set myself free. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Creativity

We create our lives every day. Each of us has unique talents and abilities. Unfortunately, too many of us had well-meaning adults stifle that creativity when we were children. One of the false assumption that some of us were taught is that you must be an artist to be creative. However, that is just one form of creativity, and there are so many more. In truth, you are creating every moment of your life! Today, set your intentions to express your creativity. Whether you choose to write, sing, dance, journal or to just have a meaningful conversation, which may be overdue, sharing your feelings and expressing what's in your heart will help you lighten up and get your groove back.

Just for today, the key to creativity is knowing that my thinking creates my experience. I use this key in every area of my life. I release all resistance to expressing my creativity fully. I am now an open channel to creative ideas. I am learning to be more creative every day. I feel good expressing myself in all creative ways. I am safe and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Perspective

You may not be able to change your current situation or the people, places and things in that situation. But, today you can change your perspective and how you have been looking at that situation or your life in general. You can look at your life in one of two ways: either you are destined to be punished eternally and live a miserable life full of pain, hurt, and guilt; or you are going through all of this because the Universe knows that you are strong enough to bear it and that you will come out stronger, better, and happier than if you did not go through it. Today choose the latter. Today, you have a chance to find the bright side to your situation, no matter how tough it seems, by only changing your view and identifying the positive in every experience. There is a lesson in the pain and there is a beautiful rose in your thorn bush. Today, remember, changing your perspective is like changing the window through which you view the world. When you change how you view the world, you change how you feel about it. When you change your perspective on your life, your life will also change-change for the better.

Just for today, I look at all the positive things in my life and I am grateful for them all. I choose to see the world with eyes of love and acceptance. I choose to see every experience as an opportunity for me to grow. I am divinely protected, guided and loved. And I choose to see that in truth everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Dare to dream

"The Universe always dreams bigger dreams for you than you dare to dream yourself." Even when we identify what we wish we could do and be, our dreams are just that—dreams and they can seem so far off. It may even be hard for you to imagine them occurring in real life. However, that is not quite the truth and today's energy can help you make your dreams come true through very practical ways. Today, let your mind wander. Allow yourself to dream about the possibilities that you desire to come true. As you imagine yourself living your intentions, begin to visualize the tangible steps you will need to get there. Then, write them down and create a roadmap to your future-step by step, turn by turn. Outline the steps that it will take you to make your dreams come true. Today, dare to dream and then, dare to take the first step to making those dreams a reality.

Just for today, I am deeply devoted to creating my dream life. I have the courage to live my dreams. The Universe totally supports me in fulfilling my dreams. Divine Intelligence gives me all the ideas I need. Life supports me in every possible way and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You create your life

The patterns you have been experiencing do not need to repeat themselves. For many of us, life can sometimes feel like a series of "groundhog day" experiences, repeating the same situations over and over again. We create to those repetitious experiences because of the expectations we have in our mind, and the emotional patterns in our aura.Today, become aware that if you have been stuck in a negative pattern, you can change it. You can change it by starting to expect things to go your way. Visualize a different scenario and expect better results. Then watch your world change around you.⁠

Just for today, I recognize that Life is very simple. I create my experiences by my thinking and feeling patterns. What I believe about myself and my Life becomes true for me. I create everything and everyone in my world. I welcome miracles into my life. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

The Present Moment

All of our power resides in the present moment and our choice to believe that our lives can always change. Once you begin to believe your life can change and to expect positive outcomes, you are poised to receive better results. Practicing presence is one way to stay poised for a better future. If you find yourself dwelling on the past, practice tuning into the present. If you find yourself anxiously anticipating the future, tune into the present. As you practice being present, you can create a more delightful future.⁠ Today, consciously choose to remain present. It is the only place where you can makes changes in your life and that you will find the peace that you have been seeking. Stay present.

Just for today, I recognize that yesterday is over. I now turn my total attention to this present moment. I release the past and I live in the present moment. I practice forgiveness daily so that I can move out of the past into this present moment. I am a powerful person because I live in the present moment. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Resistance

Your consciousness is a powerful tool. If you do not believe you can have the thing you desire, it shows up as resistance, despite all the things you are doing to achieve your goals. Essentially, resistance is any thought, belief, or behavior, either conscious or unconscious, that stands contrary to your desire. On the surface, you can be doing positive affirmations, creative visualizations, and imagining your success. But in the end, if you truly do not believe then you will get what you expect, each and every time. Today, become aware of where you are resisting change; allow yourself to rise above your own limiting thoughts and notice what stories and beliefs you continue to tell yourself. Become aware of the ways you might be holding yourself back from your desires and then let them go.The rest of the work is to surrender to your now, to this moment; to savor the experiences that continue to add to your life. And to seek joy! In other words, the key to letting go of resistance is letting go of the expectation that you’re supposed to be anywhere other than where you already are, right now. Today, let go of all resistance and know that things will change soon enough and they will find you along your path, as you are ready. But until then, enjoy here, now. And prepare yourself to receive.

Just for today, I am open to change. I am willing to change. I greet the new with open arms. I am wiling to learn something new every day. Each problem has a solution and all experiences are opportunities for me to learn and to grow. I am open to the new and changing and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Forgive

It is time to let go and to move on. However, in order to truly move on, you must let go of blame, resentment, and anger by realizing that those negative feelings are counter-productive and are preventing you from moving forward. And, no matter how justified you feel in your resentments and anger, it is only hurting you to hold onto them. Today, end this month by forgiving others and yourself, so that you can be free to move forward into a new month. Forgiving yourself is possibly the hardest part of letting go, but it’s also one of the most beneficial things you can do. Accept that you are only human, and humans make mistakes; it’s how we learn, after all. You did the best you knew how to at the time, and perhaps it didn't turn out exactly how you wanted it to, but it is time for you to forgive and to let go. Today, stop criticizing yourself. Talk to yourself kindly and finally forgive yourself for everything. You so deserve it. Today, forgive and let go.

Just for today, I am willing to forgive. I forgive everyone in my past for all perceived wrongs. I release them with love. I recognize that the person who is hardest for me to forgive is the one I need to forgive the most. I forgive you for not being the the way I want you to be. I forgive and set myself free. And so it is.

I do not use yesterday's mental garbage to create tomorrow's experiences. I create fresh new thoughts and a fresh new life. I deserve the very best in life and I accept it now. I am safe and everything is working for my highest good. And so it is.

Dark of the Moon discernment

Today is what's known as the Dark of the Moon, the day before a New Moon and it is time to go within and reflect upon what's important to you. It is a time to discern what patterns you would you like to release before tomorrow's New Moon manifesting cycle begins and to discern what new habits you would like to create. Today, go within and discern your truth. Become clear on what you truly want and do no want. Then let go and do not look back. It is time to let go so you can allow new people, places and things to enter your life. Do it today!

Just for today, I release all things that no longer benefit me-objects, ideas, habits and relationships. I feel free and light. I willingly release any need for struggle or suffering. I deserve all that is good. I let go of all fear and doubt and life becomes simple and easy for me. I am safe. It is only change and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.
