Passion

Most of us have been taught to follow our heads not our hearts or passions. Therefore, we make most of our adult decisions from our minds. We think, analyze and rationalize. Then, we use that information to set the course of our journey. However, our monkey minds can often lead us astray, over and over again. Today, allow your passion to guide you. Begin by becoming aware of what you are passionate about. Whatever it is you are passionate about, be it a person, place, creative expression or activity, it is important that you find an outlet for your feelings and your passions! When you express your heart's desires, you open yourself up to abundance and joy. Today, set your intentions to be more creative in your life. After all, you are the only one who creates everything and everyone in your life. Today, follow your passion, create the life you desire and in doing so you will find immeasurable joy in all you do.

Just for today, I recognize that the key to creativity is that my thinking creates my experience. I use this key in every area of my life. My unique talents and abilities flow through me and are expressed in deeply fulfilling ways. My creativity is always in demand. I am an open channel for ideas and I am learning to be more creative every day. I love being me and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Trust

No matter what your goals are, no matter where you are headed, it is important to appreciate where you are right now! Impatience and too much urgency to change your life will actually impede your growth and may be stopping you from moving forward. Today focus on being present, remaining calm and trust that the Universe is always guiding you in the right direction. By trusting and letting go of your need to control everything, you can appreciate where you are right now and you will be able to make better choices in your future. Trust is essential in manifesting your goals and desires. As your trust and your faith strengthens, you will be able to open up to new opportunities that you never thought possible. Today, trust that everything you need either is already within you, available to you, or in your future. You are always in the right place, doing the right thing at the right time, always.

Just for today, I focus my attention on loving myself and trusting in the Universe. I trust myself to deal with any problems that arise during the day. I release the need to struggle. I trust the Universe to take care of me. I trust the power that created me to protect me and guide me at all times and under all circumstances. Everything in my life works now and forevermore. And so it is.

Patience

We are all receiving lessons in patience. Whether it be with our careers, home, relationships or health, you may feel like you have been taking two steps forward and maybe three steps back. Today, wherever you are on your journey, know that you are heading toward your destination, even if your path hasn't been full speed ahead in a straight line. Recognize that there are still lessons for you to learn. Today, be kind to yourself as you move through your process. Enjoy where you are now and recognize that anything worth pursuing takes time. Today set your intentions to be patient; to be at peace with your process.

Just for today, I will not be distracted by noise, chatter or setbacks. I will allow patience, commitment, purpose and grace to guide me. I have the patience to be kind to myself and others as we discover the truth of who we are. I relax and enjoy life as it is today. I know that everything I need to know will be revealed to me at the perfect time, in the perfect way. I am safe and I am at peace with the process of life. And so it is.

Get out of your head...

“Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more." Many of us live our lives in our heads, ignoring and under valuing the power of our hearts and feelings. Perhaps you were taught to think your way through problems and situations, which may get you halfway there, but the truth of the matter is, the solution to most of our profound questions lies in our hearts. Today, make time to quiet your mind. Your ego is a lot louder than your intuition and feelings. Your ego and monkey brain always seem to have the most immediate answers to all your questions. However, those answers usually are grounded in fear and may lead you astray. Today, surrender, stop thinking so much and start feeling. Your inner self knows your truth, today allow it to guide you.

Just for today, I listen to my feelings and I am gentle with myself. I know that all my feelings are my friends. I allow myself to be still and quiet and I am amazed at what I discover. Life is just waiting to share its secrets with me. Each moment of this day is special for me as I follow my higher self and listen to my heart. I am safe and all is truly well in my world. And so it is

Busyness!

We are all so "busy" all the time. In fact, it has almost become a badge of honor to recount how busy we really are, as if our busyness make us more worthy and our lives more worthwhile. Today, begin to become more discerning on what you spend your time doing. Ask yourself before you put something on your calendar if it is really important to you; will that activity exhaust you to your detriment; or is it absolutely necessary for you to do that activity. Today, you stop being busy, stop doing so much and start to do things you love and that will benefit you in some way. Then, let go of the idea that you can do everything, for everyone, all the time. Doing less does not mean you do nothing; doing less means you spend more time doing what matters most to you, which will make your life happier and more fulfilling. “Sometimes doing less is more than enough.”

Just for today, I will stop the glorification of my busyness! I nourish myself by saying no when I mean no and yes when I mean yes. I know what I want and I do not have to apologize for it. I always have plenty of time to do what I need to do. Time expands for me. I am always divinely guided and protected and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Secrets keep you sick

It has been said that our secrets keep us sick. They keep us in shame and uncertainty. Furthermore, secrets lead us to think we are the only ones who have ever had dark thoughts and shameful experiences. They keep us separate and apart from the world, ourselves, our loved ones and even from the possibility of having a spiritual experience or spiritual healing from addictions of all sorts-substances, people, thoughts, work and anything we give our power and our well-being over to. When we carry secrets, we are guarded – unavailable to life because we are so afraid of exposing our shadows. We walk around feeling like a fraud, never connecting with anyone and always feeling like everyone else is better than you. Today, the Universe will begin to reveal those secrets that you've been holding onto and that are in truth holding you back. Today, begin to recognize that in truth you are not your mistakes, nor are you your actions. Be willing to face your deepest secrets and then be willing to forgive and let go. Today, tell someone one secret that you were afraid of letting the world know and then let that secret go.

Just for today, I recognize that today is a stepping-stone in the discovery of who I am and what brings me joy. When I make a mistake I recognize that it is only part of the learning process. I lovingly release all of the guilt, blame and shame from my past. I now choose to fill my life with joy and love. I love and approve of myself exactly as I am. I am enough and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Stay awake!

Many people I talk with feel that they have no joy in their life. They feel obligated to do so many things that they don’t have time for themselves and the things they really want to do. As a result, they feel drained, anxious, and resentful. You have been given over the past months opportunities to look closely at the darker side of your relationships-the side of you that has a tendency to over give and to please other people, usually at your expense. Today, it is now time to integrate those lessons about your relationships into your life by consciously staying awake and not falling back into old patterns. Today, set your intentions to stay the course, remain present and claim your power to create the life you desire, no matter what!!!

Just for today, I choose to feel good no matter what other people think, say or do. I nourish myself by saying no when I mean no and yes when I mean yes. I know what I want and I do not have to apologize for it. It does not matter what other people say or do. What does matter is how I choose to react and what I choose to believe about myself. I am worthy of all that is good in Life and I accept it now. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Relationships

"When you start seeing your own self worth, you will find it harder to hang around with those people who don't" Happy October! You have done a lot of inner work for the past several months and now it is time to put yourself first and make your projects a priority. And that is what this month is all about-relationships. For you see, your relationship with yourself is effecting everything else and every other relationship you have in your life. This month offers you a chance to make things right with yourself. Today, on the first day of this new month, make a conscious decision to go your own way. Do things that are right for you, not everyone else. And when you do, you will become more aligned with your soul and your soul's purpose. You will finally be free to move forward into the future that you've been dreaming of and that your soul desires.

Just for today, I am my own best friend. Other friends may come and go. But, I am always here for me. I support myself in feeling good. I treat myself as if I am someone who I deeply love. I now attract only loving relationships into my life for they are a mirror of who and what I am. I am safe in all my relationships, I give and receive lots of love. Life supports me in every possible way and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Intuition

As we move into Autumn, we are all being asked to go deeper within ourselves so that we may be guided on the next steps on our journey. And that means that it is important that you stop looking outside yourself for the answers that you seek and begin to listen to your intuition; stop believing that someone else besides you knows what is right for you. Today, begin to recognize that it does not matter if everyone else has a different opinion or a different point of view, you know what is right for you if you listen. Today, pay attention to the subtle messages that you are being given no matter how illogical they may seem. Allow yourself to be guided by your intuition not by what everyone else thinks, wants or needs you to do. You have the ability to create new adventures in your life. However you must let go of your fear and ego and begin to listen to that small still voice within you. You must not be afraid to head into new territories, by yourself, for yourself and guided by your intuition.

Just for today, I recognize that all that I seek is already within me. I am willing to listen to the small still voice within me and when I do, I hear all the answers to all the questions I shall ever ask. All that I need to know is revealed to me at the perfect time, in the perfect way. I trust my inner wisdom. It is always on my side. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Forgive

You can never be free as long as you continue to think unforgiving thoughts. And, you can never create the future you desire by holding onto resentments from your past. How can you be happy in this moment if you continue to choose to be angry and resentful? Thoughts of bitterness cannot create joy. No matter how justified you feel you are, no matter what “they” did, if you insist on holding on to the past, then you will never be free. Forgiveness is a tricky and confusing concept for many people, but know that there’s a difference between forgiveness and acceptance. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean that you condone their behavior! The act of forgiveness takes place in your own mind. It really has nothing to do with the other person. The reality of true forgiveness lies in setting yourself free from the pain. It’s simply an act of releasing yourself from the negative energy that you’ve chosen to hold on to. Today, consciously set your intentions to forgive. No matter what your reasons are for having bitter, unforgiving feelings, you can go beyond them. You have a choice. You can choose to stay stuck and resentful, or you can do yourself a favor by willingly forgiving what happened in the past; letting it go; and then moving on to create a joyous, fulfilling life. You have the freedom to make your life anything you want it to be because you have freedom of choice. Today, choose to forgive and set yourself free.

Just for today, I recognize that there is no problem big or small that cannot be solved by love. I forgive everyone in my past for all perceived wrongs. I release them with love. I know the very person who I find hardest to forgive is the one I need to forgive and let go of the most. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the best way I know how. I forgive and set myself free. And so it is.

You might be ending a relationship with a person, place or your career.

Be willing to let go

If ever there was a time to let go it would be today! As we prepare for a new moon tomorrow, today take time to consciously let go of your outdated patterns. Free yourself from taking on other people's burdens and giving too much of yourself. Liberate yourself from making excuses for yourself and other people.
