Whether we consciously acknowledge it or not, most of us live in a constant state of anxiety. We are concerned with what we may lose, or what we may not gain. We fear the unknown and we also live in grief and regret over what we have left behind. We then attach ourselves to substances, people, places, things in an attempt to fill the empty space within us- in an attempt to quiet our constant anxiety. We also can become attached to blaming people or judging people, to illness, to debt, to being a victim and to being rejected.And when we become attached so tightly we become "addicted" to whatever we have chosen to give our power over to-our power to feel whole and happy. Today, it is time for you and I to move beyond those things that are giving us the illusion that they are responsible for our happiness. Being addicted is giving up your power to a substance, a habit or anything that you have given permission to control your life. Today, you can take your power back. Today you can choose to develop the positive habit of knowing that life is here for you and that it is ultimately your thoughts and beliefs that keep you from feeling safe, happy and loved. Today reclaim your power and recognize that you always have a choice to choose how you feel and how you react. Every moment also gives you an opportunity to break free of the bonds of your attachments; to begin to climb out of the pit of suffering in which you believe that something outside yourself is going to fix your life and make you feel happy and whole. Today, choose to see what you have become attached to and be willing to let go and to know that your happiness is an inside job. Let go of the fear and anxiety; let go of whatever and whomever you have given your power over to and move on.

Just for today, I forgive myself and set myself free. No person, place or thing has any power over me for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it. I recognize that I always have a choice. I now choose to release all hurt and resentment. I am safe, divinely guided protected and loved. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
