There is no telling what the outcome of events will be, but we can tell you, from our perspective on the other side of life as you know it, that choices do matter. Take time to sit and contemplate the outcome of decisions, to envision what is needed that is best for the greater whole, and then what is needed to act upon that vision. To act on the decision that will be for the greatest good is to be in alignment with something outside of the self, outside of and beyond the ego self. To make decisions based on the filter of the heart is the best method of achieving goals and outcomes that will serve the many, rather than decisions based on the desires and needs of the few, which will, in the end, only serve the few.

All our love,

In times of stress be aware that ideas of illness can arise. This might mean that an inkling of sickness is really telling you to slow down, that you are doing too much, giving too much, overwhelming your own body with too many stress hormones that find no place to rest. Take care of your body, especially during times of stress, for rest of the body, mind and spirit are as important as peace in the world. And if you are not at peace within yourself then there will not be peace outside of you either. So, get some good and nurturing rest in whatever stress-free way appeals to you, for a stress-free you will mean a stress-free world.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Take care of yourself even as you care deeply about others. Take care that you are in tiptop shape so that you may be available to those you love deeply but also available to monitor and guide yourself through trying times. It’s very important for those who can offer help to others to be mindful of their own shortcomings and their own tendencies to over-give, to overcompensate, and to become codependent, without regard to their own needs. A caregiver must also care about the self, and perhaps this is the most important aspect of caregiving, to be caring of and about the self in times of stress but also in times of rest. For to truly be a giver, one must also truly become a receiver, and that might just mean saying no.

All our love,

When you notice that your temper is rising, that your mood is down, that your thoughts of the future are grim, immediately get grounded in truth. Get grounded in a more productive mindset, in a more positive outlook, in a more optimistic trajectory. Do something empowering today. Help someone who needs you. Offer a smile. Pass along a pleasant greeting.  Notice the beauty that surrounds you, above and below. Find a way to once again look upon life with the hope and joy of an innocent child, and expect the best day ever!

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Notice your mood upon awakening. If you are not feeling grounded, calm and centered then it might be time to reset yourself with some positive activity that will immediately shift you into a better state of mind. For it is not helpful to the world’s energy if your own energy is not on the up-and-up, if it is not optimistic, open, loving, kind and compassionate. If your own energy is depleted you can expect to be met only by depleted energy as well. Find your own proven method of shift that you can immediately rely upon if you wake up in a negative mood, full of self-pity, or lacking in focus. Use your method as often as is necessary so that you are a contributor to good energy and not a drain on it. It may be the most important thing you can do to help the world at this time.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
