It is often said that the key to perfect health is moderation in everything. Life however does not practice moderation. It is full of ups and downs, high points and low points and many extremes. The human mind however can do anything. A thought can shift and change even a most dire situation into one of calmness. It was a human thought that decided that moderation was key to human health and wellbeing. The ability to think and reason is purely human and part of the evolution of the species. Seek moderation in everything and see how it effects you. That’s the other half of thought—experience. It is the human experience that teaches as much as thought does.

What have you learned about yourself? Every day is an opportunity to learn something new about the self and to advance a little more along your path to wholeness. And what is wholeness? It is the completion of the journey you set out upon when you decided to enter into life as the person you are. Your decision included many challenges. To complete your life and attain your wholeness is to meet those many challenges and advance yourself on the journey of your greater Soul self, the self that decided to embark upon life and take up those challenges. What challenges do you have before you today? Begin there. Simply be open to accepting what comes. It‘s always a good day to be challenged!

Sending you love,

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.

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.

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.
