Start off on the right foot today by remembering what you pledged to yourself yesterday. Remember to keep pledging something new today as well. Lead yourself forward in new ways today, just as you may have tried to do yesterday. It’s okay if you started out strong and then forgot what you were intending. That’s okay; it’s normal. Keep in mind though, that the more you focus on change, and the more decisions you make based on the changes you wish for, the better you will get at sticking with your plan for change. Adopt an attitude of gratitude for all the little steps you are making, and without getting down on yourself, begin again today. See how much further you get today, as you remember what you are doing, one pledge at a time.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

As things in the world continue to ramp up, and as you fight through your own inner battles, remind yourself often that you are a warrior. Envision your warrior self in whatever fashion suits you. Arm that warrior self with whatever weapon is necessary so that you may force your way forward on your journey. A jungle warrior needs a machete to fight through the tangled jungle vines. A plains warrior needs a mighty steed to ride across the great expanses of open land. A city warrior needs something to navigate the crowds, perhaps a unicycle! Choose your metaphorical weapon. Make it work for you in whatever world you live in. Use it wisely to support you on your journey, just as you use your new words to support and nurture you on your journey as well.

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,

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,

Allow yourself to be quiet for several minutes at a time on this day, no matter what comes to stir you up, to grab your attention, or to throw you off your game. Your rightful place in the Universe is as a being of kindness, love and compassion. You have within you the ability to achieve such heightened states of awareness, consciously, at any time. You hold all the power and strength you need to keep your body, mind, emotions and spirit honed and alert. Self-regulation is the key. With all the tools you have at your disposal, the main one is self-awareness, so that you can catch yourself before you fall back into an old way of being. Keep catching yourself throughout the day today, practicing and honing your inner powers of attention, reflection, and centering.

Sending you love,
