You always have a choice

Nothing is as discouraging as feeling you don’t have a choice—that you’re trapped in a situation you can’t change, with a person who won’t change, or with feelings about yourself that you have stopped believing you can change. And yet we have all been there at one time or another. Today, however, the Universe is showing you that in truth you have limitless choices, thousands of mini-opportunities to live a peaceful, empowered life. And, although your ego and your monkey mind may be telling you to play it safe and secure, the Universe wants you to go for new adventures and show the world some new colors. Today, recognize that you can’t always control your circumstances, but you can shape them with your actions. You can’t always create a world that feels safe, but you can choose how to experience it with your thoughts. Today, choose wisely and choose to listen and honor your inner wisdom. Then choose to go for the new and exciting, choose to go for the adventure!

Just for today, I see limitless opportunities everywhere I look and I know that I have unlimited choices. No one gets to choose for me. I make my own choices. I have unlimited choices about what to think. I choose balance, harmony and peace and I express it in my life. I am unlimited being, receiving from an unlimited source in an unlimited way. Life supports me in every possible way and everything is always working out for my highest good.

Attachment

If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that we want to feel happy; and on the other side of that coin, we want to avoid hurting. Yet we consistently put ourselves in situations that set us up for pain. We pin our happiness to people, places, and things and then hold onto them for dear life. We stress about the possibility of losing them when something seems amiss. Then we melt into grief when something changes. And, in trying to hold on to what’s familiar, we limit our ability to experience joy in the present. However, when you stop trying to grasp, own, and control the world around you, you give it the freedom to fulfill you without the power to destroy you. Today, the Universe is giving you the energy and the courage to let go. Today, begin to recognize that everything changes and in order for you to change, to transform, you must let go, no matter what rationalizations, excuses or "what your thing is" that justifies you to remain attached to people, places, things and beliefs that no longer serve any purpose in your life. The Universe is clearly showing you what does not work in your life any longer. Today is the day that you set your intentions to take action on the revelations that you are being given and that action begins with you letting go. You have the power to choose from moment to moment how you experience things you enjoy: with a sense of ownership, anxiety, and fear, or with a sense of freedom, peace, and love. Today, experience, appreciate, enjoy, and then let go to welcome another experience.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I let go of all fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy for me. I let go of all my expectations and allow myself to flow freely and easily with life. I love myself and I know only good awaits me at every turn. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Full Moon in Taurus

We have a full moon in Taurus. Full Moons are always a time of culmination and letting go because they bring emotions to light so that you can see more clearly what you need to release. And, this Full Moon is helping you to become more aware of any aspect of your life where you undervalue yourself, allow others to undervalue you and therefore, have been receiving less than you deserve. The light of this Full Moon is also encouraging you to share with the world those parts of yourself that you've been hiding because you are afraid of being criticized. Today, let the light of this Full Moon help you recognize and honor your uniqueness. There is only one you in this world. Do not dim your light to be like others, to fit in. Today, celebrate your uniqueness and know that you are worthy of more than you have been accepting. Let go of everything and everyone who does not serve any purpose in your life. Let go, set yourself and create the future you truly desire.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I willingly release all that no longer serves any purpose in my life. I accept my uniqueness. There is no competition or comparison for we are all different and were meant to be that way. My self esteem is high because I honor who and what I am. I am special and wonderful and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

11:11 Total reset of your consciousness

It is 11-11, a magical day that can offer you the opportunity for a total reset of your consciousness-the opportunity to become more of who you authentically are. And, today's energy will help you stop hiding the aspects of yourself for fear of being really seen for who you really are, instead of who you think everyone else wants you to be. The more you hide the real you, the more the Universe will work to reveal those parts of you that you have been burying. Now is your time to share your true self in a very conscious way. Now is the time that you stop responding out of fear and habit. Now is the time to stop listening to your ego which is making excuses why you continue to take the safe way out and in doing so you continue to be thwarted from moving forward and achieving your goals.Today is the day that you stop making excuses for all the people, places, things, and habits that are sucking up you energy and giving you nothing in return. Today, is the day to totally reset your consciousness, reclaim your power and be very deliberate about how you use your time, your energy and the way you show up in this world. Today you begin to change in a big way.

Just for today, I am willing to grow and change. I choose to believe that it is easy to change a thought or a pattern. I choose to let go of everything that no longer serves any purpose in my life. I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Accept

Today, accept your life as it is now. It doesn’t matter how many or what kind of challenges you are facing. See them as opportunities for growth. This way there is no point in feeling bad about them, anymore. They are here to help you.

Today, accept yourself as you are now. Accept that you may have flaws, you may have made mistakes that have contributed to the situation you are in now, but that is not important. Today, let go of your past and forgive yourself. All that counts is what you do in this moment!

Today, let go of your fears, stress, and frustrations toward whatever situation or people, who you are currently blaming for your unhappiness or current struggles. Feeling anger or hatred toward this person will only negatively affect yourself. Today, reclaim your power, consciously choose what you focus your attention on and be grateful for the challenges in your life, because they are making you stronger, wiser and in reality helping you to grow, to change and to move on towards new experiences, new challenges and new people who enter your life.

Just for today, I recognize that every obstacle in my life is just a stepping stone. My good cannot be stopped. When I make a mistake, I realize that it is just part of the learning process. I recognize that limitations are merely opportunities to grow. I use them as stepping stones to success. I am safe. It is my birthright to choose what is right for me in my life. I love and approve of myself. And, everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Love yourself!

Louise Hay said that there is only one thing that heals every problem, and that is: to know how to love yourself. Furthermore, when people start to love themselves more each day, it is amazing how their lives get better. They feel better. They get the jobs they want. They have the money they need. Their relationships either improve, or the negative ones dissolve and new ones begin. Today, despite all the things that you think may be terribly wrong with you, no matter how many mistakes you have made, no matter what- love yourself. Love and accept all the different parts of yourself. Today begin to love yourself totally with no expectations. Love is something you can choose, the same way you choose anger, or hate, or sadness. You can choose to forgive someone who has hurt you and begin to finally heal. You can choose to be grateful for what you have. You can choose love. It’s always a choice within you. Begin right now in this moment to choose love. It’s the most powerful healing force there is.

Just for today, I recognize that the greatest gift that I can give myself is unconditional love. I know that loving myself and thinking joyful, happy thoughts is the quickest way to create a wonderful life. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am worthy of my own love and I love and approve of myself exactly as I am right now. I am an unlimited being, receiving from an unlimited source in an unlimited way. I am enough and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Abundance

It may be a cliche, but true: money cannot buy happiness. It can influence happiness, since it can afford us the necessities of Life, a comfortable lifestyle, and opportunities that may increase our overall life satisfaction. But money, in itself, is not the abundance we seek. For you see, you and I assume that money can buy feelings–that it will make us feel accomplished, respected, happy,free or simply make us feel safe. We assume that if we aren’t happy, the solution is more. Or if we are happy, more will prolong that state. Today, recognize and acknowledge that the Universe in which you live is an abundant one and that abundance is always available to you. However, the pursuit of more can keep you trapped in a world of lack and scarcity. The constant pursuit of more can rob a fun experience of joy, turning it into a means to an end. It can motivate us to compare and compete instead of recognizing and honoring our actual needs and knowing that most of the time, we have what we truly need. And it can compel us to constantly await excess in the future instead of enjoying enough in the present.This isn’t to say you shouldn’t strive for your goals. It’s just that none of it will affect you as you hope it will if you don’t learn to appreciate what you have when you have it. And that is real abundance! Today, recognize your riches, regardless of your wealth, and allow yourself to enjoy them. You will then truly be rich!

Just for today, I now move into a new era of prosperity and abundance. I am unlimited in my wealth. All areas of my life are abundant and fulfilling. I now see opportunities for abundance everywhere. I am open and receptive to all the good and abundance in the Universe. Abundance flows freely through me. I am blessed and prospered and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

All your feelings are your friends!

Sometimes the last thing we want to do is feel our feelings. Because feelings can hurt and feelings can make you cry and in some cases your feelings can make others feel uncomfortable. So, many of us learn how to stuff and stifle our feelings. However, those feelings then seem to emerge at the most unexpected times-resulting in over reacting, melt downs and just plain exhaustion. Today, make time to process and integrate your feelings, instead of ignoring them, letting them build up or rationalizing them away. Every feeling you have has a message for you.Maybe that message is simply to allow yourself to feel the emotion until it dissipates. Maybe the feeling is guiding you toward some action. Today, recognize that you already have every answer you will ever need inside of you; you just need to learn how to access that information and you begin that process by translating what your feelings are trying to tell you. In doing so, your feelings will provide you a direct conduit to your own higher wisdom, to your intuition. It may take time to clear out what you were in the habit of stuffing down, but the more you lean into whatever is asking to be seen, the more your life will open up and expand-the more everything will change. Today, make time to make all your feelings your friends and then listen to them!

Just for today, I listen to my feelings and I am gentle with myself. I know that all my feelings are my friends. I am safe when I express my feelings. I can remain serene in any situation. I allow myself to become quiet and still and when I do I am amazed at what I discover. Life is just waiting to share its secrets with me. Everything that I seek is already within me and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

You are not for everyone and that is okay.

One of the most freeing things that we can learn in life is that we don’t have to like everyone; that everyone doesn’t have to like us, and that is perfectly okay. The world is full of people who, no matter what you do, flat out will not like you. But it is also filled with people who will love you just as your are. Today, begin to recognize that being disliked by some people is simply a byproduct of you being authentic to who you truly are. When you spend your life being a chameleon, the universe has no idea who you really are and you end up with people who are really not compatible with you in your life. The more you embody your true persona, the more incompatible people will pull away from you and that is okay, because at the same time, the more you adopt your true self, the more like minded people you’ll draw toward you. Today, acknowledge and accept that you are not for everyone, and that is just okay, in fact it is more than okay, it is amazing.

Just for today, as I move through the layers of other people's opinions and beliefs, I see within myself a magnificent being, wise and beautiful. It does not matter what other people say or do or whether they like me or not. What does matter is how I choose to react and what I choose to believe about myself. I choose to feel good no matter what others think, say or do. Life brings me only good experiences and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Drama

Drama is a habit, just like any other unproductive habit we acquire. When your life seems dull or uninspired you may crave to ramp things up by unconsciously creating drama. When your life is filled with negativity you are naturally drawn to more negativity in the form of more drama. And, ironically YOU may actually need the drama to distract you from what you really need to be doing, but are too afraid of doing-making revolutionary changes in your life. Today, you can begin to break the cycle of creating and feeding the drama in your life. Today is the day that you recognize that drama loves more drama. Pain loves more pain. Negativity loves more negativity. And only you can stop the chaos and drama by stop responding to and feeding the drama. Only you can stop the drama by stopping taking everything so personally; letting go of your need to rescue everyone so that you can feel powerful, important and needed and by dropping the need to be right-righteous indignation is one of major fuels that keeps drama alive. Today, be willing to not respond to the drama around you; to become aware of your part and your need for drama and where and why you are actually creating the drama. Remember, don't respond to the drama and it will not come back around again. Today drop the drama, and set yourself free.

Just for today, I release all drama from my life. I get energy from the peace within me. I willingly release the need for struggle and suffering. I deserve all that is good in life. I release the need to be right. We are all doing the best we can with the knowledge, understanding and awareness that we have right now. I am in the process of making positive changes in every area of my life and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Live less out of habit and more with intent

Being in the right place at the right time is what happens when you are listening to your inner guidance and following your soul. However, many of us have adopted the autopilot mode-living more out of habit then intention or totally out of touch with our intuition or inner wisdom. And, it is when you are simply doing things out of habit or what you "think" is right is, in reality, when you truly lose your way. Today, set your intentions to step out of your comfort zone and break some habits. Those habits and your habitual way of living may make you feel safe. However, they are in reality keeping you stuck and mired in personal drama and suffering. Right now, the Universe wants us all to feel un-rooted and un-grounded; to be living out of our comfort zones so that we will keep moving. You and I are not meant to rely on old habits. Today, recognize that it is time to change things up. And, even though it might feel uncomfortable, you will find that you are moving into a better way of being in the long run. Today, live less out of habit and more out of intent.

Just for today, I do something different. I am willing to step out of my comfort zone and experience life in a whole new way. I am learning to step out of my comfort zone without fear. Each day I stretch my comfort zone a little further. I am willing to learn something new every day. I am safe. It is only change and Life supports me in every possible way. And so it is.

All is truly well in your world

In the infinity of Life where I am right now all is perfect, whole and complete. I no longer choose to believe in old limitations and lack. I now choose to begin to see myself as the Universe sees me, perfect, whole and complete. I now choose to live my life from this understanding that I am always in the right place, at the right time doing the right thing. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Blame-whose fault are you making it today?

We have all become so accustomed to look for others to blame for our life circumstances and our unhappiness that you may not even notice that you are doing it any longer. Blame is seductive because it makes us right and them wrong. And although our ego feels like blaming others is a quick-fix solution to many of our "problems", it actually is making everything worse! In reality, blaming others takes away your control of the situation and passes it onto another. It prevents you from seeing the whole truth of the issue and blocks you from fully understanding yourself, which in turn can keep you stuck in the same patterns of behavior, which btw are not working for you or stopping you from moving on in your life. Today, set your intentions to stop looking for other people, places and things to blame for your circumstances. People in your life may behave in ways that trigger uncomfortable responses within you. However, they do not have the power to get into your mind and create the buttons that have been pushed-they cannot control the way you react or what you choose to believe about yourself. Today, stop giving away your power and stop blaming others for your unhappiness or perceived problems. Today, take back your power, let go of blame and focus on the lesson at hand.

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. 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 choose to love and accept myself just as I am. I am safe and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
