Learn your lessons

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know and none of us like learning lessons about ourselves. This is why our lessons have to keep coming back over and over again. And we can often end up in similar situations with different people, after promising ourselves that we won’t. This is because we are human! Today, you can change the way you respond to your "Groundhog's day" moments by being kind to yourself, instead of beating yourself up for "being so foolish, dense or just plain stupid for doing the same things over and over again. Beating yourself up it isn’t helpful, and it only adds misery to an already-miserable situation. Today, if you should find yourself in one of those situations, be kind to yourself. Once you’ve been kind to yourself, it’s helpful to be as honest with yourself as you can. It’s natural to want to blame the other person when we’re in conflict. Begin to take some responsibility for your part in what has happened. If you can do this, then change is possible.If you can find a way to learn something from what is happening, then you will change for the better. So be grateful for the lessons and know in the end those lessons are moving your forward on life's journey.

Just for today, I am willing to learn. The more I learn, the more I grow. I cannot learn other people's lessons for them. They must do their own work and they will do it when they are ready. I trust Life. I know it brings me everything I need at the perfect time, in the perfect way. I am safe and I am in the process of making positive changes in every area of my Life. And so it is.

Life lessons

You have been learning a bunch of Life lessons and now it's time to begin to master those new life skills. Mastery takes patience and practice. However, the payoff will be freedom and joy. You are still rediscovering what's right for you and what you need to let go of. This is part of your mastery. Today keep focusing on what you love and the prosperity will follow. You do not need to do more or work harder. Rather tune into your feelings and continue to go with the flow. Let go and let yourself be carried by Spirit.

Just for today, I am teachable. Life is an education and I am a student. I am doing the best I can and every day gets easier. I am willing to grow and change. I am willing to learn something new every day and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Love

“Deep at the center of my being, there is an infinite well of love. I now allow this love to flow to the surface. It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied. The more love I use and give, the more I have to give. The supply is endless.” Love yourself today and let go of the rest. And so it is.

Wishcraft

What if you stopped trying to do and just let things happen? What if you only focused on what is in front of you, instead of wishing what would happen? What if you just allowed yourself to not know? Today, let go of your need to believe that you can be in control of everything and that there is always something more you can do to control the outcome of your life. Today, let go and just see what happens. Letting go makes space for great outcomes. It is when you obsess that things go awry. Today do not waste your time in "wish-craft" - sitting around wishing all day rather than living. Today, let go and allow life to happen.

Just for today, I show up and flow through the day. I let go of the need to control everything and I allow my Life to happen. I am in control of my life because I control my thoughts. Life brings me only wonderful new experiences and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Change

Change is one of our greatest teachers. It asks us every day to prove our commitment to ourselves. It leads us into dark places and allows us to fill them with light. It shows us things about ourselves we never knew. And before you know it, it shows us how powerful and strong we are. Today be grateful for change and know that whatever you are experiencing now, will change.

Wake up call!

Today is your wake up call! We are halfway through Mercury Retrograde and it's also our quarter Moon phase. Both of these cosmic events asks us to be open to a shift in consciousness and a re-calibration of our future intentions. It is a day to stop hitting the snooze button and choosing to go back to sleep in the face of change. It is a day to stop fighting against the "traumatic" or unsettling events in your life and allow them to teach you the lessons that you need to learn, so you can move forward. Living consciously is not all roses or happy endings. There is a reason why many of us choose to remain asleep. Waking up means that we feel everything—the good and the bad.Waking up means that we have to take responsibility for our lives and start moving toward our purpose. And all of this can be scary and exhausting. So, it is perfectly understandable that you may want to hit the snooze button. However, if you are hearing the wake-up calls now, please don’t ignore them. You don’t have to wait until your wake-up call becomes a full-blown alarm. You don’t have to hit the snooze button any longer. It is true that waking up can be painful, but it’s also such a beautiful way to live. And it sure beats sleeping your life away. Today wake up to your truth and choose not to allow your ego to go back to sleep.

Just for today, I am willing to see how and where I need to change. I choose to believe that it is easy to change a thought or a pattern. I am not a victim. I am willing to take responsibility for all my actions, feelings and thoughts. I am willing to take responsibility of my life. I trust the power that created me to protect me and guide me at all times and under all circumstances. Out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Laughter

Sometimes you just have to laugh! Laughter is a remarkable healing force and is often under-rated and over looked. The healing power of laughter has even been scientifically proven and yet we often overlook it because we get lost in our minds, allowing fear to wipe away our sense of humor, leaving us to unnecessarily suffer and struggle. Although it is not always easy to just “laugh it off” when you’re going through a difficult time or something tragic happens, today recognize that laughter will in truth make you feel better. Taking your current situation or problems too seriously will only result in more of those problems and more fear. Today, find reasons to laugh! Remember that life is funny. Focus on finding the laughable moments in your day, and then tell a friend your funny story as a way to increase the power of laughter by sharing.And if you don’t come across it by chance, track down a way you can lose yourself in laughter. It’s not wrong to laugh when things are tough; on the contrary, it will help-I promise.

Just for today, I fill my day with joy and laughter. I laugh at myself. I laugh at Life and nothing can touch me. I choose not to be offended by anything or anyone. Wherever I am there is joy and laughter and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Divine Timing

Mercury retrograde teaches us not to push. However, sometimes we don't listen or don't stop when we clearly are given the message-we just keep pushing and pushing trying to make what we think should happen, happen. Today, when you are being blocked or stopped from moving forward, instead of pushing harder, take a step back. Pay attention to the lessons that you are intended to learn from being thwarted in your actions and just allow things to unfold . Today, trust in the divine timing of the Universe and that everything always works out for your highest and best. The Universe is shaking us to awaken us. Pay attention and stop pushing.

Just for today, I trust in the perfection of Divine Timing and allow my life to unfold as it should. I trust that I am always in the right place, at the right time for the unfolding of my plans, dreams and desires. Everything is occurring in the perfect timing. I surrender to and trust in the divine timing of my life. I am safe and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

All that you seek

You and I are in the thick of Mercury Retrograde. So remember, there is some soul searching happening for all of us and most likely you may have some fears and doubts come up. Today, instead of choosing to suffer through your soul searching, set your intentions to look for the lessons and then just roll with what life is showing you right now. You are beginning a new rich and rewarding journey. Today, flow with whatever comes your way and trust that you have everything you need to succeed, to learn, to grow and to move forward.

Just for today, I flow easily with new experiences, challenges and people that enter my life. I feel safe in the rhythm and flow of my ever changing life. I release the need to struggle and suffer. I now trust that all that I seek is already within me. I look within to find the answers to all the questions that I may ever have. I am divinely, guided, protected and loved. And, all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Patience

Patience is not really a virtue- that makes it sound easy and light. No, patience can be hard and it takes practice. And, patience is really about having the inner strength to stick to your guns, face your fears, repeatedly let go of your expectations, and have trust that it will all work out in the end. And, that is why having patience can seem to be so hard. Today, begin to become comfortable with the process of whatever you are becoming. Despite our own expectations, there really isn't any designated amount of time it takes to achieve your goals or to overcome your old beliefs and habits. If you are not finding completion now with whatever you have been working on, then there is something more for you to know, to learn. Being impatient will not speed up the process; it only wastes time. Today, set your intentions to be patient, to be fully present and to be willing to learn something new about yourself, today and every day.

Just for today, I recognize that patience is being at peace with the process of Life. I will not be distracted by noise, chatter, or setbacks. I will allow patience, commitment, grace and purpose to guide me. I am patient, tolerant and diplomatic. I can do anything when I put my heart and mind to it. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You are safe

You are safe, it is only change. At any moment you have the opportunity of choosing love or fear. Love is the opposite of fear. The more you are willing to love and trust who you are, the more you will attract those qualities to yourself. When you are on a streak of really being frightened, upset, worried or just not liking yourself, isn’t it amazing how everything goes wrong in your life? It’s the same when you really love yourself. Everything starts to go on a winning streak, and you get the green lights and the parking spaces. You get up in the morning and the day flows beautifully. Today, recognize that you have the power to change your experience and you can do that right now by looking within for your power and strength and then be willing to change! Today is the day that you recognize that in truth you are always safe, loved and protected, you just have to trust.

Just for today, I feel safe and secure in my world. I am safe in the Universe and all Life loves and supports me. I am safe, it is only change. And so it is.

You are lovable!

Just for today, I am worth loving. I know that I am worth loving. I do not have to earn love. I am lovable because I exist. Others reflect the love that I have for myself. I am lovable. I am loving. I am loved. I am love. And everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Pace yourself...

Somewhere along the line most of us were taught that when we get to the end of something, then we will be happy, whole, complete, and successful. Therefore, we are constantly chasing a carrot on a stick that’s always just out of reach. And, ironically when we reach that milestone, which we thought was our golden ticket to happiness, the feeling of satisfaction is usually fleeting and we are on our next trip chasing that elusive state of contentment. Today, slow down, stop pushing yourself and instead begin to pace yourself. The only way to truly win this race of life is to realize there is no race. Realizing that there is no race means finding contentment right here and now. So today, quit running, stop searching and you just might find that what you have been searching for has been right here all along. .

Just for today, I handle my own life with joy and ease. I recognize that today is a stepping stone in the discovery of who I am and what brings me joy. My life is joyously balanced between work, rest and play. They all get equal time. Everything I need comes to me at the perfect time in perfect way. And all is truly well in my world. And so it i
