Suspend judgment about yourself and the things you have done. Shift your awareness to the bigger picture and your life in its wholeness, in the context of a journey of learning and growth. When you suspend judgment you let go of the inner critic, the constant judging voice in your ear, and allow something else to enter, perhaps the knowledge that you have done nothing wrong but only lived an aspect of life worth living to the fullest. Everything is part of the journey you are on. Can you accept that? Integrate that? And move on from that? That is how to suspend judgment.

Sending you love,

Making a plan and sticking with it is one way to enact change. The other way is to each day notice where things are not quite right, not working well, and changing them as they reveal themselves. Whether you make a plan or wait for signs of what needs to change, it’s always a good idea to go with the flow of life and not be too hard on the self, for life is meant to be enjoyed and lived to the fullest and you can’t do that if you hold yourself back or don’t allow for real growth because you think change has to happen a certain way. Sometimes change will find you all on its own and that’s great too.

Sending you love,

Change is not elusive; it is happening all the time. But change within the self can feel like it never happens, or only happens very slowly, but that is an illusion. For, indeed, even within the stubborn self change is continually taking place. It is, however, intention that gets the change moving at a faster pace and intention that will get the job of change done. Become aware of how you can contribute to your own plans for change and set something new in motion with a new intention today.

Balance in mind and body, in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of self, as well as between inner and outer worlds, is key if you are to seamlessly navigate life. To navigate life seamlessly is to accept and work with all that comes to greet you each day, whether good or bad. For all that comes into your life guides you and shows you where to go next and how to handle it. Maturity comes in learning that you are not special, that taking responsibility for yourself is your job, and that as much as you need and want, so should you also give. That too is balance.

Sending you love,

Find peace and calmness in the minutest of things, in the first spring flowers, in the first warm breezes of the season, in the trickle of running water in a stream, in the budding and flowering trees. Find calmness in the sound of your feet upon the ground, the crunch of gravel, the rustle of old leaves beneath your feet. Look up, look down, look all around you. You are not alone. The whole world is your companion.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
