Stop feeling sorry for yourself. It just keeps you stuck, spinning your wheels. Do something to change your situation, the one thing in your control that will make all the difference. When things need changing look first to yourself. What can you do to change yourself or your situation so that you are in a better position. It’s no one else’s fault or responsibility to lift you up. Look inward to change what needs changing outwardly. It’s the one direction where you will find the answers you need.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Place yourself at the center of an imaginary circle. How big is your circle? It doesn’t matter. From the center point you have access to everything within your circle; everything belongs to you. Imagine what you want inside the circle with you. What do you need and most want? You are in control. What you bring in affects you. What you leave out affects you. Imagine this circle as a bubble surrounding and protecting you. From it you can reach out or remain inside; it’s up to you. The illusion is that you are alone, but you are not. You are one circle among many, all living together, safe and protected alone and safe and protected as a mass; like a school of fish. You are part of a greater universe, and just as your little bubble is your responsibility so is the greater universe. You are inherently affected by everything and everything affects you. Such is life.

Sending you love,

Hold yourself accountable, and without blame move into a new pattern where the only goal is spiritual. Without regret or sorrow, and knowing that you have done all you could do, move on. To hold oneself accountable means to be accountable to the self on the journey of the Self to wholeness. All circumstances in life require taking responsibility, for there is nothing you do or that has been done to you that is not part of the unfolding of the life of your spirit. A spirit is never damaged; it only ever looks forward. Even when it has to wait a long time for you to catch up, it is never sad. It just waits.

Sending you love,

Lift your mood with a walk in nature, with a few breaths of fresh air, with a stroll down your street. Listen to the sounds around you, how quiet or noisy, how busy or calm, how nature is always awake in some fashion no matter the season. A mood is just emotion stuck on replay, spinning inside you, seeking a way out. Let it release in a breath and then turn in a new direction. Pay attention to why it’s there, and note what it means, but let it go. Make room for something new as you breathe and notice how beautiful the sky is, how happy the birds. A short walk can make all the difference.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Stay present in the truth of your life so that each moment counts, so that each moment is fully experienced and explored. Running off into fantasy or false ideas may relieve you of stress but also relieve you of taking responsibility for where you truly are, thus taking you from acceptance of the truth. Each day look to the truth of your life so that you may make the changes that are most helpful and beneficial to you, so that in every moment you may experience life in all its glory and as it truly is.
