Slow down!

Slow down speed racer! Today that is exactly the message that the Universe has for all of us. When Mercury goes direct it can actually feel more like retrograde than forward motion. It is like a speeding train that comes to a screeching halt and everything lurches forward in a jarring way. And that is what you may have experienced yesterday! Today, set your intentions to slow down, be patient and use this time to discern what and who you want to remain in your life and what you need to let go of because it/they are clearly no longer serving any purpose in your life. Remember, progress has little to do with speed but much to do about direction and Life isn't a race but a journey!

Just for today, I will not allow noise, chatter or setbacks to distract me. I will allow purpose, patience, commitment and grace to guide me. I do not fix my problems. I fix my thinking and my problems fix themselves. Life mirrors my every thought. As I keep my thoughts positive, Life brings me only good experiences. I feel safe in the rhythm and flow of my every changing life . Life supports me in every possible way and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.

Fly free and be strong!

Wohoo! Mercury goes direct today and the winged messenger can finally fly forward and so can you! The last three weeks have given us all opportunities to dive deep into the depths of our psyches so that we could uncover our fears and phobias. And, through that process we have become wiser and our resolve has become stronger. Today, before you move full speed ahead into your plans, take some time to evaluate what the Universe has been teaching you and why. You and I have lots of exciting opportunities and lessons ahead of us. Today, let yourself fly free and be strong.

Just for today, I forgive all past experiences. I am grateful for every experience that I have ever had for they have shaped me into who I am today and that is exactly who I am supposed to be right now at this very moment. Experiences come and go however my love for myself is constant. Life brings me only good experiences and in truth everything is always working out for my highest good And so it is

Perseverance

Mistakes happen. Failure occurs. Things don’t always go to plan and that is life, and it’s necessary for personal growth. As long as you keep improving and moving forward without compromising your core values and therefore, your integrity, you can achieve almost anything. Today, the Universe is offering you more energy and tenacity so that you can persevere and work through the difficult challenges, which you have been facing during the past couple of months. Use that energy to help you to persevere by continuing to put one foot in front of the other. Today, do not allow anyone to knock you off from the goal that you see in your mind’s eye. This journey is yours and nobody has the right to change your destination.Learn from the feedback that you receive, both good and bad, but don’t take anything personally. Today, recognize that it is through perseverance that you can keep moving on this amazing journey toward success, one failure at a time.

Just for today, I will continue to persist on my journey until I manifest my true heart's desires. I persist and persevere not matter what. I will not give up today. I am stronger than my pain and I will be triumphant. I believe in myself and my ability to do anything that I choose to do. I am divinely protected, guided and loved. And, everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Embrace the unknown

Most of us spend most of our lives fighting uncertainty and the unknown because the not knowing can be awfully frightening. So, we spend our days trying to figure it all out because the state of "not knowing what's next" can be intolerable. Today, allow yourself to become more comfortable with not knowing exactly what will happen next in your life. In truth, the ability to let go, to not know, and to not try to totally control what will happen next is a necessary skill for living happy, joyous, and free. Today, recognize that you cannot embrace a new uncertain future when you are fully attached to your old life or an idea of how you think something should be. And, it is only when you accept that things are unknown, that you don’t have all of the answers, that you are able to see the lessons, which are always available if you are paying attention. Today, trust, let go, and embrace the uncertainty. Allow yourself to be still and quiet and listen to your heart, not your ego, because it knows that you are okay even if you don't know the exact steps that come next or you don’t have all of the answers. Today, "stop worrying about what could go wrong and begin to obsess over what could go right."

Just for today, I trust in the perfection of divine timing and allow my life to unfold as it should. I trust the power that created me to protect me and guide me at all time and under all circumstances. Everything in my life works now and forevermore. I am safe and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

Stay true to YOU

We are heading to the end of this Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio, which has provided us with lots of opportunities to look deep within ourselves to see where and how we need to change. And in order to change, you must let go of your need to please other people at your own expense. And, you must stop trying to help people that do not want or cannot be helped. Today, turn your attention toward what is best for you rather than distracting yourself with other people's drama and needs. This is a time to fill up your cup with light so that you can shine more brightly and allow you to discern what action you can take to fulfill your purpose and to help others. Today, learn that your happiness is always about your choices and how you manage your time, energy and boundaries. Stay true to YOU, no matter what!

Just for today, I willingly let go of the need to please other people at my own expense. I deserve to have boundaries and my boundaries are respected. I am a master at setting boundaries that protect my time, energy, creativity and emotional well-being. I love and honor myself and all is truly well in my world And so it is.

Judgement and criticism

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to the understanding of ourselves." Every person you meet has something special to give you—that is, if you are open to receiving it. Each encounter offers you the gift of greater self-awareness by showing you what you do and don’t accept about yourself. And, in fact, each interaction and each reaction you have to others gives you more information about yourself than about them.Generally, our judgment of others is an extension of our own self-judgment and self-criticism. Today, instead of unconsciously delighting in the ego gratification of judging others, allow your reactions and judgments to help you achieve greater self-understanding. When you use your judgment of others as a mirror to show you the workings of your own mind, every person’s reflection can become a valuable gift, making each person you encounter a teacher and a blessing. Today, drop the judgement and be open to the gift that each person you meet has to offer you.

Just for today, 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 attract only loving people in my life for they are a mirror of who I am. I am doing the best I can and I am enough. I am exactly who I am meant to be right now and everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Life's simple pleasures

Life is truly in the details. Simple pleasures throughout the day can be far more gratifying that one amazing weekend or vacation. And, when you connect the dots between all the little joys, which in reality make up our lives, life seems fuller and more satisfying. Today, take some time to enjoy life's simple pleasures and you might just find yourself restoring your soul in no time at all. “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things”.

Just for today, I look at all the positive things in my life and I am grateful for them all. I relax and enjoy life, knowing that everything I need comes to me at the perfect time, in the perfect way. I express joy and Life returns the favor. I am blessed beyond my fondest dreams and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

You always have a choice

Nothing is as discouraging as feeling you don’t have a choice—that you’re trapped in a situation you can’t change, with a person who won’t change, or with feelings about yourself that you have stopped believing you can change. And yet we have all been there at one time or another. Today, however, the Universe is showing you that in truth you have limitless choices, thousands of mini-opportunities to live a peaceful, empowered life. And, although your ego and your monkey mind may be telling you to play it safe and secure, the Universe wants you to go for new adventures and show the world some new colors. Today, recognize that you can’t always control your circumstances, but you can shape them with your actions. You can’t always create a world that feels safe, but you can choose how to experience it with your thoughts. Today, choose wisely and choose to listen and honor your inner wisdom. Then choose to go for the new and exciting, choose to go for the adventure!

Just for today, I see limitless opportunities everywhere I look and I know that I have unlimited choices. No one gets to choose for me. I make my own choices. I have unlimited choices about what to think. I choose balance, harmony and peace and I express it in my life. I am unlimited being, receiving from an unlimited source in an unlimited way. Life supports me in every possible way and everything is always working out for my highest good.

Attachment

If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that we want to feel happy; and on the other side of that coin, we want to avoid hurting. Yet we consistently put ourselves in situations that set us up for pain. We pin our happiness to people, places, and things and then hold onto them for dear life. We stress about the possibility of losing them when something seems amiss. Then we melt into grief when something changes. And, in trying to hold on to what’s familiar, we limit our ability to experience joy in the present. However, when you stop trying to grasp, own, and control the world around you, you give it the freedom to fulfill you without the power to destroy you. Today, the Universe is giving you the energy and the courage to let go. Today, begin to recognize that everything changes and in order for you to change, to transform, you must let go, no matter what rationalizations, excuses or "what your thing is" that justifies you to remain attached to people, places, things and beliefs that no longer serve any purpose in your life. The Universe is clearly showing you what does not work in your life any longer. Today is the day that you set your intentions to take action on the revelations that you are being given and that action begins with you letting go. You have the power to choose from moment to moment how you experience things you enjoy: with a sense of ownership, anxiety, and fear, or with a sense of freedom, peace, and love. Today, experience, appreciate, enjoy, and then let go to welcome another experience.

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 let go of all my expectations and allow myself to flow freely and easily with life. I love myself and I know only good awaits me at every turn. Everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Full Moon in Taurus

We have a full moon in Taurus. Full Moons are always a time of culmination and letting go because they bring emotions to light so that you can see more clearly what you need to release. And, this Full Moon is helping you to become more aware of any aspect of your life where you undervalue yourself, allow others to undervalue you and therefore, have been receiving less than you deserve. The light of this Full Moon is also encouraging you to share with the world those parts of yourself that you've been hiding because you are afraid of being criticized. Today, let the light of this Full Moon help you recognize and honor your uniqueness. There is only one you in this world. Do not dim your light to be like others, to fit in. Today, celebrate your uniqueness and know that you are worthy of more than you have been accepting. Let go of everything and everyone who does not serve any purpose in your life. Let go, set yourself and create the future you truly desire.

Just for today, I am willing to let go. I willingly release all that no longer serves any purpose in my life. I accept my uniqueness. There is no competition or comparison for we are all different and were meant to be that way. My self esteem is high because I honor who and what I am. I am special and wonderful and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.

11:11 Total reset of your consciousness

It is 11-11, a magical day that can offer you the opportunity for a total reset of your consciousness-the opportunity to become more of who you authentically are. And, today's energy will help you stop hiding the aspects of yourself for fear of being really seen for who you really are, instead of who you think everyone else wants you to be. The more you hide the real you, the more the Universe will work to reveal those parts of you that you have been burying. Now is your time to share your true self in a very conscious way. Now is the time that you stop responding out of fear and habit. Now is the time to stop listening to your ego which is making excuses why you continue to take the safe way out and in doing so you continue to be thwarted from moving forward and achieving your goals.Today is the day that you stop making excuses for all the people, places, things, and habits that are sucking up you energy and giving you nothing in return. Today, is the day to totally reset your consciousness, reclaim your power and be very deliberate about how you use your time, your energy and the way you show up in this world. Today you begin to change in a big way.

Just for today, I am willing to grow and change. I choose to believe that it is easy to change a thought or a pattern. I choose to let go of everything that no longer serves any purpose in my life. I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life. I am safe and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Accept

Today, accept your life as it is now. It doesn’t matter how many or what kind of challenges you are facing. See them as opportunities for growth. This way there is no point in feeling bad about them, anymore. They are here to help you.

Today, accept yourself as you are now. Accept that you may have flaws, you may have made mistakes that have contributed to the situation you are in now, but that is not important. Today, let go of your past and forgive yourself. All that counts is what you do in this moment!

Today, let go of your fears, stress, and frustrations toward whatever situation or people, who you are currently blaming for your unhappiness or current struggles. Feeling anger or hatred toward this person will only negatively affect yourself. Today, reclaim your power, consciously choose what you focus your attention on and be grateful for the challenges in your life, because they are making you stronger, wiser and in reality helping you to grow, to change and to move on towards new experiences, new challenges and new people who enter your life.

Just for today, I recognize that every obstacle in my life is just a stepping stone. My good cannot be stopped. When I make a mistake, I realize that it is just part of the learning process. I recognize that limitations are merely opportunities to grow. I use them as stepping stones to success. I am safe. It is my birthright to choose what is right for me in my life. I love and approve of myself. And, everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.

Love yourself!

Louise Hay said that there is only one thing that heals every problem, and that is: to know how to love yourself. Furthermore, when people start to love themselves more each day, it is amazing how their lives get better. They feel better. They get the jobs they want. They have the money they need. Their relationships either improve, or the negative ones dissolve and new ones begin. Today, despite all the things that you think may be terribly wrong with you, no matter how many mistakes you have made, no matter what- love yourself. Love and accept all the different parts of yourself. Today begin to love yourself totally with no expectations. Love is something you can choose, the same way you choose anger, or hate, or sadness. You can choose to forgive someone who has hurt you and begin to finally heal. You can choose to be grateful for what you have. You can choose love. It’s always a choice within you. Begin right now in this moment to choose love. It’s the most powerful healing force there is.

Just for today, I recognize that the greatest gift that I can give myself is unconditional love. I know that loving myself and thinking joyful, happy thoughts is the quickest way to create a wonderful life. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am worthy of my own love and I love and approve of myself exactly as I am right now. I am an unlimited being, receiving from an unlimited source in an unlimited way. I am enough and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
