Find the balance you seek within yourself, for you hold within you all that you need to gain a footing that is sure and steady, balanced within so that you are equally balanced without. Taking time for meditation and contemplation, for journaling and writing, for self-study and a deeper knowledge of self will all add to a balanced life. Don’t be afraid to take some alone time, to give to yourself what you give to others, to be a good friend to yourself. Balance requires that you pay attention to your own needs and answer the call of your spirit when it comes knocking.

Sending you love,

Despite what your eyes see and your ears hear about the state of the world around you, keep your focus on the positive, within and without. The more positivity there is in the world the more the negative will recede. The more you are reminded of the magical powers of your own spirit and your own mind the better off you will be. A positive attitude is responsible for great healing, great change, and great progress in the direction of the good. Be a part of the change that is worth working toward. Keep a positive outlook, speak positive words, and, most of all, stay open to receiving and giving the goodness of heart centered positivity.

Sending you love,

A good barometer of how you are feeling is to check in with your body rather than with your mind. Your mind might tell you one thing and your body something else. Which is more honest? The mind has a tendency to explain, complain, and conjure, to trick, but the body does not lie. Tune in to your body more often and ask it what it needs, what it has to say, and what it has to offer. It might decide that one direction is better than another, that one decision is better than another, that one plan is better than another. Of course, the body, like the mind, can quickly change, so be alert and go with the flow!

Reluctance to take the changing journey is common. Though the mind may jump at the idea of change there are often deeper reasons that keep one from fully embracing the idea of change. Forging ahead despite reluctance is often the only way to move beyond inner obstacles and blockages. Finding a steady path forward may take some time but eventually the idea of change will take hold and the way become clear. Try to embrace change with an open heart, and ask for help as you navigate uncharted territory. There is always someone ready to lend a hand.

When one persists one reduces the risk of falling into doubt, futility, frustration or lack of faith. The ability to stay on track, to continue on the path of hope and the belief in something new, comes over time, as one exercises the characteristics of a changing being. With persistence small changes happen constantly and gradually the negative intrusions fall away. Stay the course, remain on the path of change and transformation, and keep an open heart, trusting in the Divine Intelligence that wishes only the best for you, every day of your life.
