Get Grounded

It is time to get grounded! Between the glorification of being "busy" and constant social media at our fingertips, becoming un-grounded is easier than you may think! And when you become un-grounded you may experience the inability to focus or finish projects; you may feel spacey, question everything and just can't think straight. However, when you are grounded you are strongly connected to the Earth, stable and at ease. Fears and worries fade away and you feel safe, protected, and have an inner knowing that you’ll be taken care of. Today, make some time and space to get grounded by creating new routines in your life that support your well being. Whether it is through meditation, physical exercise, yoga, crystals, aromatherapy or a combination of all of them, it is time for you to get back to business and tune into what's truly meaningful for you. And, that all begins today by getting grounded.

Just for today, I am grounded. I am centered and I am strong. The energy of the earth flows through me. I am safe and divinely protected. I am grounded and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You are Beautiful

We all are beautiful and beauty is all around us. And, yet it is sometimes difficult to see that beauty through all of our perceived problems, judgements, comparisons and fear. Today, when you look in the mirror, look carefully to see you. Try to see yourself through the eyes of someone who loves you unconditionally, appreciates you for all your best qualities, and would never judge you. If there has never been anyone who has ever loved and appreciated you in this way, understand that this is likely why you struggle to see your beauty, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Today, when you look in the mirror, don’t worry about an image you think should be reflected back at you. Look for you in the mirror. Don’t focus in on your scars but rather remember the strength that helped you heal. Don’t look at yourself with a critical eye; look for and celebrate the light in your eyes. And, I guarantee if you look carefully you will see something, someone beautiful. Someone worth loving and caring for. Someone who has a place in this world and a gift to share. Someone beautiful-that would be YOU.

Just for today, I treat myself as if I am someone who I deeply love and care for. I frequently tell myself that I love you and I know that you are doing the best you can. Every day it gets easier to look in the mirror and to love and accept myself exactly as I am. Everything I need is coming to me at the perfect time, in the perfect way and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

It's time YOU redefine love!

It is time to redefine your definition of love! As all of our planets begin to move into the sign of Virgo, you can begin to use that energy to learn to love yourself first; to take care of your health and well being, and to let go of unhealthy relationships. Ultimately, all relationships are a reflection of how you treat yourself. Today, ask yourself if the people in your life are supporting your well-being or diminishing your power. Are those people taking in a self entitled way or do they reciprocate your kindness and generosity. Then, YOU begin to decide who you let into your life and how much time and energy you devote to them. The Virgo goddess has come to help you own your power. Today, claim that power and begin to put YOU first...everything and everyone else will benefit from you making you your priority.

Just for today, I claim my power. I speak up for myself. I ask for what I want and I do not have to apologize for it. I love myself and therefore attract only loving people into my. life. I am safe. I am loved and my needs are important. Life loves me and supports me in every possible way. And so it is.

Energy

As we move through our days, we all pick up energy from our environment, the people around us, and for that matter from social media. That energy can be in the form of thoughts, feelings or vibrations. Today, it is important that you begin to recognize what energy is not yours and then release it; so you can be clear about who you are and how you perceive the world. Today, allow yourself to become aware of how you feel and which feelings are truly yours and which ones you've absorbed or picked up "along the way". Also, become aware of any aspects of the past that you are still carrying around with you because they also are affecting your future. Today, take some time to let go off any thoughts or feelings that are weighing you down, so you can create a more joyful future. Today clear your energy, honor your rhythm and live your own vision.

Just for today, I am willing to let go of everything that no longer serves any purpose in my life. I let go of all childhood fears. I am a secure empowered human adult. I am love. I am energy. I am a shining light. And, everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

It is NOT your job to fix everyone!

You are not responsible for the world’s pain and it is NOT your job to fix everyone around you. You can share your talents and resources. Generously give your time and attention. But you cannot pour a magical tonic on the wounds of every person walking on this planet. It is not your job. Today, recognize that you cannot fix anyone and fixing other people can easily become a destructive self-identity. And in that unhealthy version of care giving, your understanding of love may have become warped. Love may look like a relentless string of sacrifice. Today, recognize that sometimes, love calls on us to invest our energy and time in tending to someone else’s pain. But not 100 percent of the time. And not with the nurturing going down a one-way streets, pouring out to the same person, over and over again. Today, if you see that pattern in any of your relationships, consider what it would take to expand your definition of what it means to nurture, to love, to care for. A healthy relationship not only nourishes the needs of others, but also nourishes your own. Today, give your love freely and deeply. And trust that even if you’re not there to ‘fix’ them, everyone will be just fine.

Just for today, I know that 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 have come to this planet to learn to love myself and to share that love with others. I accept others exactly as they are and I am free to just be me. Everything is working out for everyone's highest good. And so it is

Imagination

Prosperity does not come from constant productivity and effort even if someone, sometime, told you otherwise. You do not have to be doing, working and producing to be a worthy person. In fact, you need time to create, to dream and to simply be. Today, create some space for you to get in touch with your imagination and to dream. After all, "imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions and everything that is real was imagined first. Today, dream and allow your imagination to soar.

Just for today, I am the star in my own movie. I am also the author and the director. I now create wonderful new roles for myself. My imagination now creates whatever I think and believe. I now create a stress free world for myself and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Focus!

What you spend your time and mental energy focusing on can indeed become your reality. Today, keep it simple-focus your attention on the people, places and things that you want in your life and let go of the rest. You create your reality and everything and everyone in that reality on what you focus on. Today consciously focus on the good that is always around you. Focus!

Just for today, I know that if I focus my attention on what I do NOT want that is exactly what I will get more of. I focus my attention on loving myself and trusting in the Universe. I focus my attention on all the goodness around me and I know that everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You are stronger than you know!

We have a Sturgeon Full Moon and how appropriate that the Sturgeon Full Moon is in the sign of Aquarius, the Water Bearer, which symbolically and eternally gives life and spiritual food to the world. The water from the Water Bearer washes away the past, making room for a fresh, new start. The sign of Aquarius is also forward-looking and growth-oriented. So, after the rough month of July the sturgeon is swimming into our lives to show us that we are stronger than we think or will ever know. The sturgeon is a tough fish that can live up to 140 years. You survived the last months and you will make it through the upcoming ones. Today, allow the energies of the full moon to fuel you with strength and encouragement. If you are feeling despondent take time and do some prayers on this Full Moon and ask for the strength of the sturgeon to pull you through any remaining obstacles in your life. You were always stronger than you knew. Today, let go of all the stories, beliefs, fears and uncertainty about the future. You have learned so many lessons. It's time for you to let go and move forward into your future with new found strength, wisdom and love for yourself.

Just for today, I go beyond barriers into possibilities. I know that every obstacle is just a stepping stone. My good cannot be stopped. Limitations are merely opportunities for me to grow. I use them as stepping stones for success. When I make a mistake I realize it is only a part of the learning process. I am safe and all is truly well in my world and so it is.

You always have a choice!

You always have the power to choose! We all have the power to choose what we absorb and what we release; what we share, what we keep, and what we let go of; how long we stay mad and how long we wait to reach for hope; when we say yes and when we say no, and how long we say only what other people want to hear - it is all up to us. Today, in every moment recognize that whether you see the world with gratitude or resentment begins with a choice-your choice. Today choose to pay attention to your thoughts and how you respond to what you feel. Choose to consciously respond, rather than impulsively react. Today, recognize how powerful you are in each situation by recognizing that you always have the power to choose! Today, choose wisely!

Just for today, I recognize that the Universe supports every thought I think and I believe. I have unlimited choices on what to think-I choose balance, harmony and peace and I express it in my life. I choose to feel good no matter what other people say or do. I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life. And so it is.

Choose LOVE

Every moment of every day, you have a choice between love and fear. Today, choose love!

Just for today, I recognize that in any given situation I always have a choice between love and fear. I choose love. I choose to dwell in a world of love and acceptance. My heart is open. I speak with loving words. My heart is open. I allow love to flow freely. I love myself. I love others and others love me. It is safe for me to let love in and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

All that you seek is already within you

You are what you seek. This means that whatever joy you hoped “to get” after you get the dream job, earned the right amount of money or find the perfect house is in reality already within you! When you search for love, joy, power, money or for that matter, God, you are really searching for the experience of your "unconditioned Self" that is not limited by fear, separation, and lack. Today, begin to recognize that everything you seek is already within you and that all your pain comes from the belief that your source of happiness is outside you. That single misconception is what feeds your mental junk, your learned unworthiness, and your “not good enough” stuff. Today, begin to integrate the fact that whatever you want is here right now. Whether it is peace, wisdom, love or abundance, it is already here, right now, inside of you. Today, know that everything you seek is already within you and then make yourself wholly available to what is already inside of you-real healing will then begin.

Just for today, I look within to find my treasures. I know that everything that I seek is already within me. I allow myself to become still and quiet and I am amazed at what I find. Life is just waiting to share its secrets with me. Life loves and supports me in every possible way and everything in my life works now and forevermore. And so it is.

It is time for a mental housecleaning

Louise used to say" Would you really dig into yesterday's garbage to make tonight's meal? Do you dig into yesterday's mental garbage to create today's experience? Today, be sure not to be bringing your old garbage thoughts into your new day. Today, examine your thoughts and beliefs and then de-clutter your mind of the old mental garbage that just isn’t true any longer. Today, do a mental house cleaning and allow yourself to begin this day with a brand new clean slate.

Just for today, I do a mental house cleaning making room for new positive thoughts. I do not use yesterday's mental garbage to create tomorrow's experiences. I create fresh new thoughts and a fresh new life. I now radiate positivity, peace and grace. All is truly well in my mind and in my world. And so it is.

Boundaries...you are so worth them!

Only by knowing your true self can you relate to others in a meaningful way. And that is what the energies of today are teaching us. Although we are in the sign of Leo, the gregarious and people loving sign, the lion has a very sensitive side hidden within that also needs some time alone. Today allow yourself to feel all your feelings and be honest with yourself. It is very important to exercise healthy boundaries. Your time and energy are valuable resources. Use them wisely and stop wasting them on people, places and things that give you absolutely nothing back in return. As you exercise more self love, you will attract people and opportunities who support your well being. Today, go within and listen to what you really need and make today all about you and your self care. You are so deserving!

Just for today, I recognize that my alone time is just as fulfilling as the time I spend with others. I maintain healthy boundaries yet still remain open to the goodness of others. I am a master at setting healthy boundaries that protect my time, creativity and emotional well being. I love, honor and respect myself and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
