It’s really important how you speak to yourself, how you phrase things to yourself so that what you say matters. If you constantly say what you don’t want in your life, that’s what you will get, just what you don’t want. But if you constantly say what you do want in your life that is what you will get. There is a big difference in what you don’t want and what you do want. Why waste your time and precious words on constantly repeating what you don’t want, what you don’t like or don’t appreciate. Put all of your energy into positive statements, declaring to the Universe what you do want in your life, in no uncertain terms. Be definite, be positive, be clear.

Sending you love,

A new week, a new day, a new opportunity. Find the sacred in this day, within your heart, the one thing that has meaning for you right now, and give it space to expand. Give it room to experience growth. Move something out of the way so it can have a little more room in your life today. Perhaps you just need to move an old thought out of your head and let something from your heart replace it. Perhaps an old habit that no longer serves you needs to be left behind and a new and more beneficial activity needs to be instituted instead. Perhaps you have longed to start something that has meaning for you and you decide that this is the perfect day to give it a chance. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest. Give it a chance by doing something you have longed to do that is right and beneficial. Make it the first step on your journey of real change.

Sending you love,

Hold yourself as accountable as you hold everyone else. It is often so easy to see what others should be doing in their lives, but what about you? What are you not getting? What are you not paying attention to? What are you continuing to do that does not provide you with your best options? What needs to change? The change of seasons, or even just a new day, is the perfect time to institute something new into your life. Start something new today. You will soon know if it’s something that is right for you. If not, then choose something better. You have the opportunity to choose something better every day of your life. Start making it a habit.

Sending you love,

Allow your inner self to speak to you more often. When your inner self speaks to you, with its clear and sober voice, you know how right it is, how meaningful it is, and how impactful it can potentially be, if you take it seriously. In times of outer change inner changes are equally necessary. What is happening outside of you right now that is pointing you inward? What are you being shown about yourself that needs attention? If you take your attention off the outer world and sit quietly with yourself, take a quiet walk, or just close your eyes and ask for guidance, some little insight will come to you. That little insight will be the first inkling of what is in need of inner work. Everyone is in need of something.

Abrupt and sudden change is often the catalyst that helps someone find their truth, that helps someone take a new direction in life, that helps someone find their right path. But more often than not that abrupt and sudden change is unnecessary. If change is needed, it is already known. But the sad thing is that though that knowledge exists, it is often not acted upon. If you know that change is needed, act upon it before something drastic happens to make you act upon it. You have the power within you to change without being given a dire life verdict, an illness, a devastating sadness. Make your move while you can, in full consciousness and with full focus placed on a more fulfilling life, because you have the desire and the will to freely choose it.
