Forgive

One of our biggest spiritual lessons is to understand that everyone is doing the best they can at any given moment. People can only do so much with the understanding, awareness, and knowledge that they have.The greater their own inner pain, the more they may lash out and act badly. This is not to say that their behavior is acceptable or excusable. However, for your own spiritual growth, you must be aware of their pain.And, the person who is hardest to forgive is the one who can teach you the greatest lessons. Today, set your intentions to forgive. Forgive yourself and forgive others. Recognize that 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. Forgiveness is never about the other person, it is always about you and allowing yourself to be at peace, rather than being right. Today, choose to forgive.

Just for today, the door to my heart opens inward. I move through forgiveness to love. I forgive everyone in my past for all perceived wrongs. I release them with love. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the best way I know how. I lovingly forgive and release all of the past. I now choose to fill my life with joy. I forgive and set myself free. And so it is.

LET GO

We all have a set of thoughts and beliefs that keep us mired and stuck in places and feelings that do not serve us any longer. Whether it's the belief that you will be finally happy if you reach a certainly goal; or if people really knew you that wouldn't like you or that finding inner peace is hard. Today, take some time to turn inward and start to become aware of what thoughts and beliefs are stopping you, in this moment, from experiencing peace and true happiness. Then, consciously let them go. Realize that in reality you do not need to do anything or get anywhere to experience inner peace and true happiness. Your inner peace is already within you even if it is hidden behind layers of old beliefs, which no longer serve you. Today, let go and you will discover the peace and happiness that you've been seeking.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I am willing to let go of old patterns and beliefs. I am willing to release old, negative beliefs. They are only thoughts that stand in my way. My new thoughts are positive and fulfilling. I am always safe and I trust the power that created me to protect me and guide me at all times and under all circumstances. And so it is.

You are loved!

Just for today, I recognize that in any given situation, I always have a choice between love and fear. I choose love. I release all destructive fears and doubts. I accept myself and create peace in my mind and heart. I am loved. I am safe and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Overthinking

Whatever issues life presents us, whether small or big, we think about them. We think about what to do, what not to do, and what would be “best” for us and for everyone around us. We think a lot! But how often do we think about our thinking, our overthinking? When do we stop to question why we over-think, whether it’s productive, and how to overcome it? Today, offers you a wonderful opportunity to get out of your head and stop overthinking. The truth is we all have a constant stream of thoughts meandering through our minds. That’s part of being human. However, you get to choose which of those to engage with and that is always where your power lies-the choice of what you think. Today begin to become aware that overthinking in reality does not bring you more insight, the "right" answers or the correct decision. Next, know that your decision is never final. Over-thinking often comes from the notion that you will make a grand finale decision that will never change and must be correct. Being comfortable with being wrong, and knowing that your opinions and knowledge of a situation will change with time, will offer you a sense of true inner freedom and peace. Finally, in reality you don’t have to stop thinking, you simply need to be selective about whether you believe your thinking and whether you are attached to it. Today, if you find your head buzzing with a bazillion ideas, go out and move your body-, which will allow your body to catch up with your mind. Today, just accept that you cannot control everything for it is the aim of your overthinking, and it’s ultimately holding you back. You always have choice of what you think, today think less, feel more and forgive.

Just for today, I have the power over what I think about. My thoughts do not control me. I release my obsessive thoughts and let them go. I am always in control of what I think and what I choose to believe. I release all limitations based on old negative thoughts. I joyfully look forward to the future. I am safe and I am always divinely. guided, protected and loved. And so it is.

Should

How many times a day do you use the word “should” in reference to yourself or other people? The word “should” has become a fixture in our everyday language and in our every day inner dialogue. We use it in conversation with others, as a way of motivating ourselves or keeping ourselves in check, and to express a myriad of feelings, including frustration, guilt, and regret. Today, begin to become aware how often you use the word should in your daily life. Begin to recognize that telling yourself that you should be doing more or being more isn't actually helping you do more or be more. In truth, by using the word "should" you are actually telling yourself that you are not enough, just as you are. When you use the word “should,” you are not accepting reality. You are talking about things that you wish were so, but aren’t (or vice versa). When you tell yourself or other people that you should or they should be doing something , you are reinforcing the negative, and the fact that we or they are not doing it. Although removing the word “should” from your vocabulary will take time, patience, and practice. But it is possible, and it comes with great rewards. Replacing “should” with more helpful dialogue will lead to a kinder relationship with yourself, and better relationships with the people around you too. Today stop "shoulding" on yourself and other people, replace the world should with could and just accept your life and yourself as you are or as you are becoming.

Just for today, I replace the word should with could. I recognize that I have the power to create all that I wish for with my mind and my thoughts. I am truly someone special. I create my experiences with my thinking and feeling patterns. What I believe about myself and about my life comes true for me. I do not fix my problems, I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Stop worrying about what people think of you

No matter what you do some people will never like you. No matter what you do some people will always like you. Either way, it has nothing to do with you. And it’s really none of your business.

The truth is, other people’s opinions of you are none of your business. Their opinions have nothing to do with you and everything to do with them, their past, their judgments, their expectations, their likes, and their dislikes.Today, consciously choose to stop worrying about what other people think about you and your need for other people's approval. Constantly worrying about what other people think is draining and keeps you from experiencing life fully and genuinely. Today, recognize that when you give ownership of your feelings over to others, you give up control over your emotions, over your life. In truth, the only person that can hurt your feelings is you. Conversely the only person who can make you feel worthy and valuable is you. Today, choose to stop worrying about what other people think of you and free yourself from the prison of approval and begin to start living your life authentically you.

Just for today, I know that I am far more than other people's opinions. My opinion of myself is the only one that counts. As I move through other people's belief and opinions, I see within myself a beautiful and wise being. I love what I see when I look inside me. It does not mater what other people say or do. What does matter is how I choose to respond and what I choose to believe about myself. I am doing the best I can with the knowledge, understanding and awareness that I have right now and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

It is a time where we are absorbing and assimilating everything that we learned in the previous moon cycle.It is where our real growth occurs.

I let go of all fear and doubt and Life becomes simple and easy for me. And so it is

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Every single person in your life is your mirror. What this means is that others are simply reflecting parts of your own consciousness back to you, giving you an opportunity to really see yourself and ultimately to grow. The qualities you most admire in others are your own and the same goes for those qualities you dislike. When you begin to understand that the world is a mirror of you, there is no room for blame, there is no room for judgement and there is no room to feel like a victim of another person's actions or words. There is only room for real love for yourself, based on understanding and gratitude. Today, begin to recognize that if you want to change anything in your relationships you must be the change you want to see. Today, treat yourself with respect and that will be mirrored back to you in all your relationships.

Just for today, I AM WORTHY OF RESPECT AND LOVE. In all my relationships were are all equal. We respect each others decisions. Other people respect me because I respect myself. I respect my boundaries and I insist others do too. I attract only loving people into my life for they are a mirror of who and what I am. As I change my thoughts and feelings about myself, the world around my changes. And so it is.

Happy May! After a somewhat serious April, you can now breath a sigh of relief. This month ushers in a burst of optimism and joy. It can be a month of passion and prosperity if you continue to be true to what's in your heart because that is when infinite opportunities will appear for you.

Just for today, I am dancing with joy. My optimism is contagious. My future is bright and beautiful and I am optimistic about my life path. I have faith that everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Slow down

Most of us feel like we don't have enough time to get everything we "need" to get done and therefore spend most of our days rushing around, trying to get one more thing done! However, some of the best things in life come to us slowly. This is a reminder for you to stop rushing and slow down. When you rush headlong into what you want to achieve, you can get easily frustrated with any hurdle, obstacle or slight delay, which inevitably happens in Life. You also miss the opportunity to accept and be grateful for the small steps you take. Slow is about building legacy, and along the way, resilience and stamina, which can only be won through endurance not speed. And, slow isn’t dull and boring, but contemplative and considered. It is the yin in a very yang world. Slow is the strength of surrender, and surrender can be the most powerful kind of victory of all. Today, become aware that in truth you can be so much more productive when you stop rushing and just slow down.

Just for today, I allow myself to stop rushing and slow down. I have plenty of time to do what I need to do. Time expands for me. I slowly breath in and out and I find myself relaxing with each breath. I am a beautiful flower blossoming more each day. I delight in my world and my world delights in me. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Prosperity thinking

As we end April, which was a month filled with lots of soul searching, it is now time for action. May's energy will teach you to pursue your passion and enjoy your life. Passion, purpose and prosperity are all intertwined and inter-related. Our new month will help to teach you that true prosperity isn't really a money issue, it is about you following your purpose with passion. By doing so, you will be able to truly experience abundance and prosperity. Many of us chase an illusion that when we amass a certain amount of money or things we will be "fine" because we expect it to bring us fulfillment. However, often when we achieve the wealth we were working for, we can be left feeling unsatisfied.Relentlessly pursuing a materialistic ideal is a breeding ground for anxiety and stress. Today, begin to become aware that true success and prosperity come from liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. Let the month of May help you find true prosperity through pursuing your purpose with passion.

Just for today, I know that enormous prosperity and power are available to me. I now choose to feel worthy and deserving. I give myself permission to feel and to be prosperous. I am an unlimited being, receiving from an unlimited source in an unlimited way. I always live in comfort and joy and everything in my life works now and forevermore And so it is.

Gratitude

By counting your blessings daily, you can begin to condition your mind to look for the good in everything around you. Soon enough, you’ll unconsciously begin to see the bright side of things and feel better about life. Today, choose to be grateful and you will find more to be grateful for.

Just for today, I am grateful. I recognize the more I am grateful the more I get to be grateful about. It is that simple. Everything I give out comes back to me. Gratitude has all sorts of surprising rewards. The more grateful I feel the more I become aware that the supply is endless. My day begins and ends in gratitude and joy. And so it is.
