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!

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.

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?

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.

Let not the troubles of the world add to your own troubles any more than they have to. Take control of your subconscious mind, of what you allow it to say to you, of what you allow to come into it, and of what you allow it to present to you as truth. Be aware of how the subconscious mind is like a sponge. It will soak up what is presented to it, endlessly. The trick is to stay on top of it, on top of what is presented to it and on top of using your autonomy to conclude something other than the norm. Look forward to freeing your mind of its habitual patterns, of its old beliefs and of its automatic decisions. With an open mind and an open heart turn away from the old and ask to be shown new ways of interpreting life, new visions to supplant old ones, and new ideas to take the place of the old. You do have the capacity to do this type of replacement work within your own mind. Take a moment today to think in a different manner about one important thing that controls your life now. See what you come up with that will help you to shift into a new, more positive mode of mind.
