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,

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.

Sending you love,

Empty your mind of motives of power and let go of your attachments to the sadnesses of your life thus far lived. Open instead to the idea that you have not really lived at all yet. Turn your mind and your eyes in a new direction now. Take on a different kind of power, the power that embodies responsibility, honesty, truth and humbleness. This kind of power does not show on the outside in material ways but appears as an inner glow. This is the internal experience of your true self. With kindness to yourself, and with a heart-centered desire to finally make the change that is so necessary now, embark on that new journey you have so wished for. If you proceed with an open and eager heart you will be offered all the assistance you need. If you stay stuck in victimhood, in blame and self-pity, you will have to work a little bit harder, until you are ready. But know that new life awaits! When you are ready, take your first real and honest step. You will feel very vulnerable at first, but, as you learn to trust that you are being helped along the way, your confidence will increase and pretty soon you will be flying along. Keep your finger on the gratitude button as you go. That helps immensely!
