Certain days have more energy than others and you may notice how one day may bring drastic actions and the next none at all. Such is the law of karma, the law of entropy, and the law of change. Let your own energy dictate to you what is right to do on any given day. Check in with yourself to see how you are feeling and how much energy you have to give to others. Check in with yourself to see if you need something that you are not attending to for yourself as well. Oftentimes, the givers are the ones who most need but refuse to admit it. Take time for yourself and your own mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health today.

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,

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,

How is it that time seems to stand still when you are busy doing something you love or something that takes all of your attention? Have you noticed how time ceases when your mind is off yourself, off your worries, and off your personal tragedies? With the mind occupied elsewhere, time ceases and all that time carries with it ceases as well. Busyness is one of the best ways to absent the mind of its worry. Take your mind off yourself for a while and see what happens. You might discover that everything you think and feel about yourself disappears. You might have to question if they were ever real to begin with? Thoughts do have great power of persuasion, both good and bad.

Sending you love,

Forget your worries for another day, they will always be there when you think of them, but give yourself permission to forget about them. Think instead of all the things that make you happy, all the things that you are grateful for, all the things that bring a smile to your face and a lightness to your heart. Surely there are more things than you know. Is not just the sun shining on the windowsill something to be grateful for? Is not the chirping of birds something to be cheerful about? Is not the fact that you have made it this far in life enough to be thankful for? Is it not wonderful to breathe, to smile, to sit in the stillness of the morning, or the evening, and drink in the wonders of a day to begin or a day gone by? Think on these positive thoughts throughout the day, between morning and evening, whenever worry slips in. Turn your face from worry and remember the sun on the windowsill that brought you a moment of joy.
