You are exactly where you need to be

For many of us right now the path forward seems unclear. You might know what you no longer want to be and yet the path ahead may not be so clear. And, even if you know where you're headed, it might feel like you may never get there. Today, let go of all your fear about your next steps and recognize that in truth you are exactly where you need to be right now, even if you are headed to somewhere better. Today, trust that you are being guided every step of the way. Recognize that simply because you know what you want for your future now that things don't always instantly happen. And, if things aren't happening fast enough for you know that you are not doing anything wrong, you just need to be more prepared for your future. Today, recognize that your progress is not linear and that you are heading toward your destiny whether you know it or not. If you have a dream in your heart, then you have the means to fulfill it. Today, set your intentions to let go of your fear and keep the faith. Recognize that dreams are built one step at a time. Do not rush because there is so much more for you to learn. Today, accept where you are right now and know that you are always in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.


Just for today, I recognize that I am always in the right place, doing the right thing at the right time. I trust that everything I need will come to me at the perfect time in the perfect way. I trust the power that created to protect me and guide me at all times and under all circumstances. I am safe and in truth everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is

Stop "shoulding on" yourself and others

Your destiny is far greater than you can every imagine. However, you may be limiting your own potential by remaining attached to how your life SHOULD be. The word “should” has become a fixture in our everyday dialogue. We use it in conversation with others, as a way of motivating ourselves or keeping ourselves in check. But we also use the word “should” to express a myriad of feelings, including frustration, guilt, judgment and regret. Today begin to break the habit of “should”-ing" on yourself and other people. Today, let go of your attachment to the outcome of every situation and trust that you are being guided in the right direction at all times and under all circumstances-no matter what you think “should” be happening.

Just for today, I no longer use the word should. I refuse to make myself or anyone else wrong. 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 am an unlimited being, receiving from an unlimited source, in an unlimited way. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Peace

We all have so much potential to create, to effect change, and to love. However, that creative potential within us also means that we have the capacity for destruction and chaos. We can start wars over words, or follow our monkey minds into a frenzy of worry and distraction. We can keep on telling ourselves that when that one thing we want so badly to happen, happens, then everything will be better.We are so creative that we believe our best lie to ourselves—that there is time available for us to waste on not finding inner peace. Today, begin to break that cycle and embrace life to the fullest. Begin today by being grateful for this day, for none of us in truth are promised another day! Then, do something that makes your heart sing. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the perfect job. It doesn’t matter if you’re having difficulty in a relationship or just feeling lost. Today, commit to doing one thing that makes you feel happy. Today stop looking for fixes outside yourself. Everything you want and need, you already have and you already are. Today, stop putting off inner peace and start reaping the bounty of your life that is right in front of you, right now.

Just for today, I know that peace begins with me. The more peaceful I am inside, the more peace I have to share with others. Divine peace and harmony surround me and dwell within me. I feel tolerance, love and compassion for all people, including myself. I am safe, divinely protected and guided. And, all is truly well in my world. And so it

You always have a choice

It is not the circumstances of our lives that matter. It is what we choose to do with them. Today recognize that you always have a choice. Your choice. You can’t choose everything that you experience in life, but what you can choose is mightier than any circumstance, outcome, or other person’s opinion. Today, awaken to the fact that where you focus your mind, how you use your words, and how you treat yourself and others are all up to you. We all have the power to choose what we absorb and what we release. And ultimately we decide 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 others want to hear are all up to us. Whether we see the world with gratitude or resentment begins with a choice.There’s always something you can choose. So, today choose to look for things to feel good about. And if nothing else, choose to be as intentional as you can. Starting today, start small and remind yourself of your power to choose.Freedom is what you choose to do with what’s been done to you. Today, choose wisely!

Just for today, I know in any given situation that I always have a choice between love and fear. Today, I choose love. No one else gets to choose for me. I make my own choices. I choose to forgive and set myself free. I choose to recognize that in truth, everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Trust your inner wisdom

We have a Harvest Full Moon tonight on Friday the 13th, an event that only happens every 20 years. Full Moons always bring aspects of your consciousness to light. This Full Moon will illuminate your life purpose and can help you to breakthrough your fear, so that you can pursue that true purpose. It may seem easier to you to stay stuck in your present situation than to take a chance on yourself. However, that fear of the unknown has been holding you back. Tonight, during the light of this Full Moon, allow yourself to release your fears -fears of not being enough; of what could go wrong if you took a chance on yourself; or any other ego thought of why your idea of playing it safe and strategically smart are actually serving you. Then, let your dreams, let your heart and let your intuition be your guide. Your intuition will always lead you on a path toward joy. Today, let go of your "best" thinking and trust that your intuition, not your mind, because it is always on your side.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I let go of all fear and doubt and life becomes simple and easy for me. I trust my intuition. I am willing to listen to that small still voice within me. All that I ever need to know at any given moment is revealed to me. My inner wisdom is always on my side. I am safe. It is only change. And everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Reflection

We all need at least some alone time. But in this age of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), it can be incredibly challenging to “sacrifice” your social time for time spent with yourself. In fact, many people who don’t take the necessary time to recharge end up feeling isolated, despite always being with others.Today, take some time for reflection, by yourself, for yourself. There won’t always be people around for you to hang out with or to distract you from what is true for you. So, today begin to learn to be happy by yourself. This does not mean you get an excuse to isolate yourself. But rather to intentionally minimize your need for external validation so that you can find time to recuperate from the many stressors you've experiencing the past couple of weeks. Today, begin to get to know yourself and what really matters to you. Your alone time will make all the difference in your world. Today, create space to focus on you, what you want and what you want to release tomorrow during the Full moon. “He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the world.”

Just for today, my alone time is just as fulfilling as the time I spend with others. It does not matter what other people say or do. What does matter is how I choose to react and what I choose to believe about myself. I am now in free to take charge of my own life. I am safe, divinely protected, guided and loved. Out of this situation only good will come and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Harvest time has arrived

Friday is a Harvest Full Moon and you may begin to feel it's potent energy today. This full moon is the last Full Moon before the seasons change. It will offer you an opportunity to “harvest” all you can before you enter into the new season. It is also a time for you to reap the rewards of all you have achieved and learned since the Solstice back in June. Today, take a moment to think back to this point in the year. Who were you then? Who are you now? What have you learned? How have you changed? Every now and then, we need to stop, take stock and realize that no matter where you are today or how you may be feeling, you in truth have grown and changed for your highest good! Today, recognize and accept that you are always in the process of making positive changes in your life. Accept where you are right now and let go of what is weighing you down. You are truly in the right place at the right time, doing the right things, always.

new doors.jpg

Just for today, I relax and enjoy life. I know whatever I need will reveal itself to me at the perfect time, in the perfect way. I flow freely and lovingly with life. I love myself and I know that only good awaits me at every turn. I now open new doors to Life, knowing that there is a solution to every problem I may create and that in truth, everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Be grateful for change

Change is one of our greatest teachers. It asks us every day to prove our commitment to ourselves. It leads us to dark places and allows us to fill them with light. It shows us things we never knew about ourselves. And before we know it, it shows us how strong and powerful we are. Today, welcome in new ideas, new plans and new ways of being. Welcome in the changes that are happening in your life and be grateful for them all.

f4c1558b4759bb956b1a7cb23e7b853d.jpg

Just for today, I am grateful for change. I am grateful for every experience that I have every had for they have shaped me into the person I am today and that is exactly who I am supposed to be right now. I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. I am safe. It is only change and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Seasons change and so can you

We are being prepared for autumn, a time of introspection and of letting go. As the trees begin to let go of their leaves, we are also being given the opportunity to release what doesn't serve us now so we can blossom more fully in the future. This is an opportunity for you to finally free yourself from limiting past beliefs and past life programming. Today, begin to notice if you've have issues come up around maintaining your boundaries, claiming your personal power or career challenges. Look at any situation in your life now where you're experiencing the same stumbling blocks that you just can't seem to get away from. Then, let go of any beliefs that belittle your worth. No matter where you are in your life, you most likely haven't been giving yourself enough credit. Today, allow yourself to release what isn't serving you so that you can prepare for prosperous, new beginnings.

Just for today, I willingly release the need for struggle or suffering. I deserve all that is good. I let go of everything that does not benefit me-objects, beliefs, patterns and relationships. I now accept that I am worthy of love and respect. I am worthy of the very best in life and I now lovingly allow myself to accept it. I am excited about the person that I am becoming and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You are lovable!

Everything in your outer world is a mirror of what goes on in your mind. If you want to find love and acceptance, then that’s what you must first give to yourself. And, loving yourself has nothing to do with vanity or arrogance—those emotions are only expressions of fear. When you love yourself, you cherish and appreciate the wondrous being that you are. If you find it difficult or scary to accept love and to let love into your life, it’s only because you haven’t been willing to love yourself. Today, consciously open your heart to yourself and you will find that it will become easier to let others love you. Today, stop criticizing yourself—now and forevermore. Love and accept yourself as you are right now. When you do, you’ll blossom in ways that you can’t even imagine. Love will heal you. Your love for yourself will work miracles in your life. Today, acknowledge and accept that I am lovable!

Just for today, I recognize that the greatest gift that I can give myself is unconditional love. I am worth loving. I am lovable. I am loving. I am loved. I am love. I am safe and all Life loves and supports me. And so it is.

Shame

Shame. Everybody has it. Nobody wants to talk about it. However, the less we talk about it, the more power it actually has over us. Moreover, shame goes to the core of our being and can make us feel as if there is something inherently wrong with us-that we are just not good enough. And, when you are in shame, you are not able to see the bigger picture. You feel alone, exposed, deeply flawed and want to isolate or to hide. Today, it is time to shine a light on your shame-on the things you have done or been that you continue to hold onto and hide from the world-and then let them go. Today, acknowledge, forgive, and let go. You may want to share your "secrets" with someone you trust and by doing so, you may find that you are not alone in your shame and that what you are most shameful about really in the light of day isn't so bad, after all. You may discover that your shame has less power over your present moment. You just might find that you are in truth good enough.

Just for today, I am perfectly happy to be me. I am good enough just as I am. I love and approve of myself. I am joy expressing and receiving. I forgive myself and I set myself free. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Creativity

We create our lives every day. Each of us has unique talents and abilities. Unfortunately, too many of us had well-meaning adults stifle that creativity when we were children. One of the false assumption that some of us were taught is that you must be an artist to be creative. However, that is just one form of creativity, and there are so many more. In truth, you are creating every moment of your life! Today, set your intentions to express your creativity. Whether you choose to write, sing, dance, journal or to just have a meaningful conversation, which may be overdue, sharing your feelings and expressing what's in your heart will help you lighten up and get your groove back.

Louise-Affirmations-Creative2mob.jpg

Just for today, the key to creativity is knowing that my thinking creates my experience. I use this key in every area of my life. I release all resistance to expressing my creativity fully. I am now an open channel to creative ideas. I am learning to be more creative every day. I feel good expressing myself in all creative ways. I am safe and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Perspective

You may not be able to change your current situation or the people, places and things in that situation. But, today you can change your perspective and how you have been looking at that situation or your life in general. You can look at your life in one of two ways: either you are destined to be punished eternally and live a miserable life full of pain, hurt, and guilt; or you are going through all of this because the Universe knows that you are strong enough to bear it and that you will come out stronger, better, and happier than if you did not go through it. Today choose the latter. Today, you have a chance to find the bright side to your situation, no matter how tough it seems, by only changing your view and identifying the positive in every experience. There is a lesson in the pain and there is a beautiful rose in your thorn bush. Today, remember, changing your perspective is like changing the window through which you view the world. When you change how you view the world, you change how you feel about it. When you change your perspective on your life, your life will also change-change for the better.

Just for today, I look at all the positive things in my life and I am grateful for them all. I choose to see the world with eyes of love and acceptance. I choose to see every experience as an opportunity for me to grow. I am divinely protected, guided and loved. And I choose to see that in truth everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
