Dream a little dream...

It has been said if you can dream it, you can do it. And, today the Universe wants to support your dreams! But, you first need to make the time to daydream to envision the better life that you truly desire. When you take the time and space to tune into your feelings and allow yourself to drift into the zone, then you can receive intuitive downloads, which can lead you to the next steps of your journey. Today, productivity is not nearly as important as day dreaming, which will allow you to create a vision of what you want for your future. "Follow your dreams because they know the way."

Just for today, I am deeply devoted to creating my dream life. I have the courage to live my dreams. I am ready to prosper beyond my wildest dreams. It is safe for me to dream big. I am divinely guided, protected and loved. And, all is truly well in my world.

New Moon in Sagittarius

Happy New Moon in Sagittarius and it is bringing new beginnings to all of us. This new moon can help you to focus on some of the traits of the sign of the Archer – optimism, enthusiasm, adventure, honesty, independence – and how you can positively incorporate those qualities into your life. And that's what the energies of this new moon want you to do- to focus on goals that will increase your understanding and awareness; to summon up the courage to expand your horizons, and to gain confidence and optimism from a broader perspective. Today, allow yourself to break out of your habits and beliefs that are keeping you "small", limited and not fulfilling your purpose. We all can easily get lost in the details of mundane existence and get caught up in the drama of the insignificant. We all can be afraid and choose the familiar over the new and challenging. However, this potent Sagittarius energy can help you find ways to transcend those details of your day-to-day life and nurture your faith, hope, and vision. Today, set your intentions to set your sights higher for 2020 and beyond. It is time for you to cut the chords that are keeping you small, limiting your life and stopping you from fulfilling your purpose. Today, it is time for you to shine!

Just for today, I think big and then allow myself to accept even more from Life. I am open and receptive to all the good in the Universe. I am expanding my life and my opportunities. I have the self esteem, courage and confidence to move forward with ease. Life supports me in every possible way. And so it is.

Change is NOT optional

Sometimes the Universe jolts you awake. And, this is one of those times. As we head to the end of this year, and the end of a decade, there may be some major truths revealed in the world and in your life that will demand your attention. The Universe is shouting out to you that YOU simply cannot go about your life as if nothing needs to change. You simply cannot keep ignoring the issues, which keep coming up in your life, creating chaos and keeping you stuck. Things do not change by themselves and your monkey mind wants you to focus on drama, anything except your truth. Today, pay attention to those areas of your life you've been ignoring and allow them to be brought to the light of your consciousness. Although you have been avoiding this process, it can be a liberating one and it will set you up for an amazing 2020 and beyond. Today, be willing to change.

Just for today, I am willing to see how and where I need to change. I am willing to release old patterns and negative beliefs. The power that created me has given me the power to create my new life. I choose new positive, fulfilling thoughts and begin anew right here and right now. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Forgive

When the word forgive is mentioned, who comes to your mind? Who is the person or what is the experience that you feel you will never forget, never forgive? What is it that holds you to the past? When you refuse to forgive, you hold onto the past, and it is impossible for you to be in present moment. And, it is only when you are in the present that you can create your future. Today, recognize that in truth forgiveness is a gift to yourself. It frees you from the past, past experiences, and past relationships. It allows you to live in the present time. Often you need to forgive yourself for putting up with painful experiences and not loving yourself enough to move away from those experiences. So today love yourself, forgive yourself, forgive others and be in the moment. When you come from a space of love you are always safe. Today, forgive everyone. Forgive yourself. Forgive all past experiences. And, set yourself free!

Just for today, I move beyond forgiveness to understanding and I have compassion for all. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the best way I know how. As I forgive myself it is easier to forgive others. I am ready to be healed. I am willing to forgive and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Truth?

Most of us consider ourselves good people and we generally try to do the right thing when we have the opportunity. Yet most good people also lie quite frequently. They lie for many reasons-to keep from insulting or wounding someone they care about; to smooth over conflict or to make someone happy and just to get out of a tight situation. In truth, they most often lie to make their own reality more comfortable! But lying, just as with other careless uses of language, such as making false promises or gossiping, or trying to sound authoritative on topics you don’t fully understand — has many negative consequences. Careless language undermines your relationships, chips away at your sense of self and decreases your personal power and often leads to shame and blame. Today, begin to recognize how often you don't tell the truth to yourself or others for whatever reason you and your ego made up; how often do you say you'll do something and never do it and in truth, never had any intention of doing it. And, how often do you not care about the words that come out of your mouth? Then, begin to choose your words more carefully, more compassionately and more wisely. When you choose to be impeccable to word and deed, you will gain so much more self respect, control over your life and a sense of peace, The truth will set you free.

Just for today, I am impeccable to word and deed. My words are spoken with love and kindness. I have the strength and the wisdom to speak the truth even when it makes other people unhappy. I honor myself by speaking my truth. I am more than enough and everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Optimism

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." If you want to, you can easily find tons of reasons to live your life scared and negative. You can use all kinds of logic to justify a bitter, guarded attitude, as if it’s the only way protect yourself from bad things that could happen. Today, instead of torturing yourself about all the bad things that could happen, decide to take responsibility for creating the good. Decide to be optimistic and to see the good in even what you think is the "bad". Today, choose to believe that good things will happen and then make every effort to create them. Today, set your intentions to be optimistic and to see every glass half full. It is always your choice-choose wisely.

Just for today, I move forward with confidence and ease. I greet every day with optimism and joy, knowing that new experiences are always available to me. I cross all bridges with joy and ease. The old unfolds into wonderful new experiences. My life gets better all the time. I am optimistic about my life plan and I have faith that everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Slow down!

Slow down speed racer! Today that is exactly the message that the Universe has for all of us. When Mercury goes direct it can actually feel more like retrograde than forward motion. It is like a speeding train that comes to a screeching halt and everything lurches forward in a jarring way. And that is what you may have experienced yesterday! Today, set your intentions to slow down, be patient and use this time to discern what and who you want to remain in your life and what you need to let go of because it/they are clearly no longer serving any purpose in your life. Remember, progress has little to do with speed but much to do about direction and Life isn't a race but a journey!

Just for today, I will not allow noise, chatter or setbacks to distract me. I will allow purpose, patience, commitment and grace to guide me. I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. Life mirrors my every thought. As I keep my thoughts positive, Life brings me only good experiences. I feel safe in the rhythm and flow of my every changing life . Life supports me in every possible way and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Fly free and be strong!

Wohoo! Mercury goes direct today and the winged messenger can finally fly forward and so can you! The last three weeks have given us all opportunities to dive deep into the depths of our psyches so that we could uncover our fears and phobias. And, through that process we have become wiser and our resolve has become stronger. Today, before you move full speed ahead into your plans, take some time to evaluate what the Universe has been teaching you and why. You and I have lots of exciting opportunities and lessons ahead of us. Today, let yourself fly free and be strong.

Just for today, I forgive all past experiences. I am grateful for every experience that I have ever had for they have shaped me into who I am today and that is exactly who I am supposed to be right now at this very moment. Experiences come and go however my love for myself is constant. Life brings me only good experiences and in truth everything is always working out for my highest good And so it is

Perseverance

Mistakes happen. Failure occurs. Things don’t always go to plan and that is life, and it’s necessary for personal growth. As long as you keep improving and moving forward without compromising your core values and therefore, your integrity, you can achieve almost anything. Today, the Universe is offering you more energy and tenacity so that you can persevere and work through the difficult challenges, which you have been facing during the past couple of months. Use that energy to help you to persevere by continuing to put one foot in front of the other. Today, do not allow anyone to knock you off from the goal that you see in your mind’s eye. This journey is yours and nobody has the right to change your destination.Learn from the feedback that you receive, both good and bad, but don’t take anything personally. Today, recognize that it is through perseverance that you can keep moving on this amazing journey toward success, one failure at a time.

Just for today, I will continue to persist on my journey until I manifest my true heart's desires. I persist and persevere not matter what. I will not give up today. I am stronger than my pain and I will be triumphant. I believe in myself and my ability to do anything that I choose to do. I am divinely protected, guided and loved. And, everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Embrace the unknown

Most of us spend most of our lives fighting uncertainty and the unknown because the not knowing can be awfully frightening. So, we spend our days trying to figure it all out because the state of "not knowing what's next" can be intolerable. Today, allow yourself to become more comfortable with not knowing exactly what will happen next in your life. In truth, the ability to let go, to not know, and to not try to totally control what will happen next is a necessary skill for living happy, joyous, and free. Today, recognize that you cannot embrace a new uncertain future when you are fully attached to your old life or an idea of how you think something should be. And, it is only when you accept that things are unknown, that you don’t have all of the answers, that you are able to see the lessons, which are always available if you are paying attention. Today, trust, let go, and embrace the uncertainty. Allow yourself to be still and quiet and listen to your heart, not your ego, because it knows that you are okay even if you don't know the exact steps that come next or you don’t have all of the answers. Today, "stop worrying about what could go wrong and begin to obsess over what could go right."

Just for today, I trust in the perfection of divine timing and allow my life to unfold as it should. I trust the power that created me to protect me and guide me at all time and under all circumstances. Everything in my life works now and forevermore. I am safe and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Stay true to YOU

We are heading to the end of this Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio, which has provided us with lots of opportunities to look deep within ourselves to see where and how we need to change. And in order to change, you must let go of your need to please other people at your own expense. And, you must stop trying to help people that do not want or cannot be helped. Today, turn your attention toward what is best for you rather than distracting yourself with other people's drama and needs. This is a time to fill up your cup with light so that you can shine more brightly and allow you to discern what action you can take to fulfill your purpose and to help others. Today, learn that your happiness is always about your choices and how you manage your time, energy and boundaries. Stay true to YOU, no matter what!

Just for today, I willingly let go of the need to please other people at my own expense. I deserve to have boundaries and my boundaries are respected. I am a master at setting boundaries that protect my time, energy, creativity and emotional well-being. I love and honor myself and all is truly well in my world And so it is.

Judgement and criticism

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to the understanding of ourselves." Every person you meet has something special to give you—that is, if you are open to receiving it. Each encounter offers you the gift of greater self-awareness by showing you what you do and don’t accept about yourself. And, in fact, each interaction and each reaction you have to others gives you more information about yourself than about them.Generally, our judgment of others is an extension of our own self-judgment and self-criticism. Today, instead of unconsciously delighting in the ego gratification of judging others, allow your reactions and judgments to help you achieve greater self-understanding. When you use your judgment of others as a mirror to show you the workings of your own mind, every person’s reflection can become a valuable gift, making each person you encounter a teacher and a blessing. Today, drop the judgement and be open to the gift that each person you meet has to offer you.

Just for today, I no longer judge or criticize myself or others. As I release all criticism, judgemental people leave my life. I accept everyone as they are, including myself. I attract only loving people in my life for they are a mirror of who I am. I am doing the best I can and I am enough. I am exactly who I am meant to be right now and everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Life's simple pleasures

Life is truly in the details. Simple pleasures throughout the day can be far more gratifying that one amazing weekend or vacation. And, when you connect the dots between all the little joys, which in reality make up our lives, life seems fuller and more satisfying. Today, take some time to enjoy life's simple pleasures and you might just find yourself restoring your soul in no time at all. “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things”.

Just for today, I look at all the positive things in my life and I am grateful for them all. I relax and enjoy life, knowing that everything I need comes to me at the perfect time, in the perfect way. I express joy and Life returns the favor. I am blessed beyond my fondest dreams and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
