Each new week arrives with its calendar of events, of duties, of must-doings. Take a look at what you have to do this coming week and remind yourself that you are no longer doing things in the old way. You have made a commitment to change and you know exactly what you need to do to continue along that path of change. Changing your mind is well under way, so keep up the good work!

Sending you love,

As mentioned at the beginning of this week, the first step in gaining the balance and the space you need to do your inner work is to take back your mind, your subconscious mind, by feeding it nurturing words, words of substance and balance, words of value and kindness, words of compassion and love. Fill your mind with mantras of words that have meaning for you, words that you can anchor in when the old words try to reenter your sphere. Speak them away with your new words of hope, love and healing.

Sending you love,

Keeping focused on self-growth and self-exploration is not self-centered activity. It’s actually for the betterment of all. However, do keep your commitments to others. Do pay your bills on time. Do keep your appointments and take care of what needs to be taken care of every day. Balance all of the busyness of life by giving yourself some personal time alone. Take a walk, sit awhile and meditate, find a place where you can be alone for even just a few moments to reassert your commitment to yourself. Ask for a good balance so that life and inner life each have their place, so that each is important and yet neither is overpowering the other. Balance is the key to staying connected to both worlds.

Sending you love,

It’s not that hard to change, it just takes diligence and a strong commitment to self. There are no gurus out there that will be able to heal you, only you can do that. There are no saviors out there, only you can save yourself. With your heart set on change and a new and healthy lifestyle, take another step toward achieving your goals today. Restate your commitment and make a plan for how you will change today. What will you choose to do that will take you another step in the direction of your goal?

Sending you love,

Keep focused on shifting away from old habits. Each day progress is made in some way. Whether you notice it or not, just your intention to change what is most rampant in your mind to something less so will bring moments of change. By the end of the day, you may notice a change in your energy. Perhaps you are calmer, more centered and less interested in the craziness of the world outside of you. Perhaps you are finding that the inner work you are doing on yourself is much more interesting and much more rewarding than any dip into the world’s affairs ever was. Keep shifting. Keep focusing on change within. Keep your attention on your own affairs, with the intention to keep growing and healing. You can’t go wrong.

Sending you love,
