“See the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
How do we hang on to our genuine sense of caring and compassion toward someone, when we perceive some of their deeds and statements as being quite unkind? We all face this scenario with people in our lives. And I am not talking about distant friends or acquaintances, who will fade out of our life if the unkindness and differences become too pronounced. I am referring to people who are fixtures in our lives and who we basically love and care about.
Not everyone sees things our way — it would not be a good thing if we were all clones of each other. Life is exciting and dynamic because of all the varied personalities in our lives.
However, sometimes we need someone to be a little more tolerant and supportive of us. For instance, in my own life, as an animal lover and occasional rescuer, I am trying to understand someone who is quite the opposite of that. Now it’s one thing to keep discordant thoughts (ones that you know might be offensive to a person you are conversing with) to yourself. But it’s another to come out with them in a context in which there is no ambiguity about them being of the tactless nature.
So I am trying to rationalize some of these comments over time (they are only occasional, not constant) and certainly focus on the brighter spots of this individual’s personality. But when these uncalled-for comments just spout forward, it is disturbing to me. Yet I believe it is essential to be able to brush my own feelings of discord aside, as it is healthier emotionally. But it’s not always easy to do.
As a Reiki practitioner, my initial reaction is to send love and light to this person, envisioning that it is going straight to their heart center.
However, you don’t have to be a Reiki practitioner to work with this imagery. You can surround this person with the light of compassion, however you may be able to imagine it. Visualize that a radiant cord of compassion flows from your own heart to the heart of the other person. This can be powerful healing imagery. It sure beats the opposite of becoming antagonistic or down on a particular person.
As I began to focus on sending positive energy to this person, I genuinely felt like I want to take the next step. My goal is to try to awaken the innate sense of compassion, caring and understanding that I believe lies within the heart of that individual. I truly feel we are all born with the ability to be compassionate. But it depends on many other factors — upbringing, family values, social interaction and more as to how much that sense develops over time.
Another suggestion for diffusing any immediate discord while an incident is still fresh and painful, is to make a mental list of the most obvious positive qualities of this person. Maybe he made a tactless statement, but is diligent and has a great work ethic and he is always punctual for events. He just needs to perhaps do some further inner work, or become a little more awakened to the compassionate side of life.
Do you have anyone who is close to you that presents a challenge in this way? How do you deal that individual? Are you able to let go of discordant feelings? Are there any special techniques you use to help you remain peaceful and tolerant? Please post a comment here and let me know…
Affirmations:
- I strive to remain calm and neutral in the presence of someone whose personality can be challenging to me.
- I imagine that an ethereal, healing cord of compassionate light can link from my heart to the heart of another.
- I do the inner work to become my most caring, understanding self.
Appreciation – Finding Gratitude in the Now Moment
Posted by: | CommentsDo you ever consider how good it can feel to truly embrace appreciation on a consistent basis? Personally, I have been in “appreciation mode” recently. Not that I am ungrateful normally, but I am feeling motivated about getting more deeply into the mindset of profound appreciation.
For those in the USA, we are soon approaching the traditional holiday of Thanksgiving so maybe that has influenced me a little. But it’s beneficial to remain in the joyful “attitude of gratitude” all year round. Feeling that brilliant optimism of appreciation absolutely raises your vibration. And then, more magical things happen — you feel better overall — your emotional health improves and even your physical health will improve!
So what do I mean by the “appreciation mode?” This is feeling the glow of appreciation in the very now moment. Of course, it is not possible to hold this vibration all the time. But if you do this several times a day, it will impact your reality for the better.
Take the time to either look around or to look within and simply ask yourself “What am I thankful for right here in this moment?” And rather spontaneously bring to mind something that is particularly pleasing to you, something that inspires gratitude within YOU.
One personal example happened the other day. I took my senior canine to the dog park, enjoying his company and watching his happiness at being off-leash and able to wander freely. I just appreciated that animal/human bonding moment. And as we left the park in my car, I was just filled with appreciation for the beautiful tree-lined road with all the spectacular fall foliage colors. My heart was radiant with appreciation in that particular moment — and I felt so blissful. And it was such a simple time.
Today, my husband went out of the way to run a particular errand for me that will save me so much time and I am happily grateful for this thoughtfulness. Even though the rest of my day brought some of the normal frustrations of life — a minor plumbing problem, as well as a broken car windshield that had to be replaced — trying to hold myself in the light of appreciation helped not just salvage, but improve my overall feelings for the day.
Wrap your heart and mind around feeling gratitude. Be grateful for your unique life path and your own particular skills and talents. Be grateful for those close to you with whom you share a loving bond. Express your appreciation verbally.
Here is a quick gratitude exercise for you. Just bring to mind one thing that makes you light up with appreciation. Do it — just focus on it for a moment. How does it make you feel? Can it make your heart smile — even just for a moment or two? Being in this energy is empowering.
Have the courage to look into the mirror — be bold and confident and say to your own reflection “I appreciate you!”
Affirmations:
- Being in the mindset of appreciation brings more joyful aspects into my everyday life experience.
- Abundantly feeling and expressing gratitude helps move me up the emotional scale.
- I truly appreciate my own particular radiant and unique life journey.
Positive Attitude – Our Core Essence is Love
Posted by: | CommentsWhat if we innately knew that our purpose here in human form is simply to explore, experience and expand our capacity to love? How would that influence our time here — how would that affect our every day lives as well as our overall perspective?
What would you personally do differently? Would you be less judgmental — more open to being understanding and supportive? Would you be less likely to cling to a subjective or narrow point of view?
These are deep questions to reflect upon, concepts that I have been giving thought to in these last few weeks, and which bear some thinking about. Personally, I am still working on evolving into a kinder version of myself, with a greater capacity for patience and understanding. That inner work is assisted by tapping in to the wellspring of love within.
Sometimes, in a gentle meditation, I envision just being connected to that strand of pure Divine love that resides deep within my heart. I have no secret knowledge of our purpose here, but somehow tapping in to the core essence of love feels like it is a right exploration for me.
When I go within to that heart space, I feel as if I am tuning in to something far grander than my mere physical existence here. It can be a beautiful, almost blissful moment. Then I am convinced that expressing our love, in various formats, is at least part of the reason why we choose our existence here.
When we think about others, particularly those that bring a sense of challenge or discord into the realms of every day reality, we can feel frustrated and confused at times.
However, we should make every effort to surround them with the figurative vibrating glow of light and love. This imagery may help us view them in a better, less reactive and less volatile way. Attaining that non-judgmental outlook will certainly help our lives –and relationships — flow more smoothly. And we should definitely strive to connect more clearly with our core essence — that of profound love.
Here are several simple ways to tune in to the essence of love within:
- Imagine you are breathing in and out through your heart center (heart chakra.) Focus on your heart space, and imagine that you are inhaling and exhaling from there — and imagine pure love flowing in and out in a blissful connecting loop.
- Work with an affirmation that resonates with you. “I am a being of light and energy and I let love radiate within and around me, as it flows out toward others.”
- Envision yourself surrounded by a bubble of gleaming light that represents love — and meditate with this sensation for several minutes or more. Or imagine yourself and any other person surrounded by this healing bubble that will gently dissolve any discord between the two of you.
- Hold an image of yourself cupped in the Divine palm/hand of Universal, unconditional love — feel the warmth, the caring, the compassion as it envelopes you.
- Know that you are worthy and deserving of love.
Affirmations:
- As I connect to my core essence of love, I am filled with a sense of supreme peacefulness.
- I tap into that loving spark of Divinity that resides deep within me.
- I practice being nonjudgmental, tolerant and understanding toward others, as that is how I wish others to treat me.
Positive Attitude – Thoughts to Raise Your Vibration
Posted by: | CommentsChallenges are all part of the roller coaster of life — we all experience periods of gloom, discord and stress. But how do we bring ourselves up during these trying times? How do we reconnect to our joyful spirit? For after all, isn’t our spirit what breathes life into us, animates us and connects us to our soul and Higher Consciousness? And shouldn’t our soul be innately joyful, light, magical and powerful?
I recently listened to Sonia Choquette, one of the Hay House inspirational author/teachers, discuss a technique to help uplift. And it so resonated as it is something that I already do. I believe the most significant step to take when you are experiencing a negative state of mind, uncertainty or emotional upheaval is to think about those things you love. Focus your clear attention on what brings light into your world.
“It’s too simple” you may think to yourself. But sometimes it is the simplest ideas that work.
This technique may certainly not solve all the problems and hurdles you are experiencing, but it can return your mindset to a state of optimism and appreciation — even for a little while. Everyone can use an “optimism break!”
Thoughts are very powerful. So bring to mind the joy of thinking about what you love. Make an actual list or just a mental list. This can instantaneously raise your vibration! Think of that classic tune “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. Certainly thinking about favorite things or what one loves is sure to bring a smile to your heart and help counteract fear or discord.
For me personally, my thought list would include the following:
- Having breakfast with my husband — sharing that morning cup of coffee
- Family outings with my grown children
- Being surrounded by the unconditional love of my pets — specifically when all of them are snoozing contentedly around me with one cat snuggled and purring on my chest…
- Watching the colorful birds that congregate at my backyard feeder
- Having lunch on my patio in the warm sunlight
- Going out to lunch with a close friend
- Going to the movies and catching something new to the screen
Make your own list, and you can include thoughts of things too, as well as people — ANYTHING that makes your heart sing. So reach for clear thoughts of what you love and those you love — particularly when you need an emotional and energetic attitude boost!
Affirmations:
- As I focus on what I love, my heart grows light and joyful!
- I take a few moments every day to feel genuine appreciation for the love of those who surround me.
- My whole outlook is uplifted when I choose to give my attention to joyful and positive thoughts.
Life Balance – Positive Affirmations and Healthy Thought Patterns
Posted by: | CommentsI was speaking with my Aunt just this morning, trying to find out how she is recovering after numerous health challenges and time spent in the hospital. True to her usual character, she made the statement “I’m never getting better. It’s just not happening.”
My Aunt has never been the most positive kind of individual, which frustrates me, as I feel she is missing out on a having a more joyful life experience. But she IS my Aunt, and of course I do love her. And I do realize and respect her choices, even if I don’t agree with them or see them as being particularly beneficial.
Fortunately, I do believe that her stubbornness, persistence and sheer will to have improved health will serve to get her better, despite her gloomy mindset. However, her energetic and emotional outlook can certainly use some healthy tweaking!
Without giving my Aunt a full lecture on positivity, I just gently suggested that instead of saying “I’ll never get better” to start saying “I’m definitely going to get better” and that in general being positive will be much more beneficial for her. “You know,” she said, “Everyone keeps telling me that.” Sometimes moving away from a deeply ingrained negative-thinking pattern is extremely difficult or next to impossible.
Our thought patterns are cultivated during early childhood. Our initial ways of viewing ourselves and the world that surrounds us are mostly determined by our immediate sphere of influence — parents, extended family members, our teachers and even religious leaders. If those surrounding us thrive on the negative, then how are we going to grow up? What will our beliefs be?
Of course, that question is rhetorical.
Our personal epiphany comes when we realize that YES, we can change and shift forward into a better-feeling and generally more joyful everyday reality.
Hopefully, most of us come to an understanding about how profoundly powerful our thoughts and statements can be, and that choosing ones like “I am definitely going to get better” is going to have a major positive impact on our well being.
I believe that the Universe gives huge focus to all of our statements that begin with “I am…” and responds rather quickly to them. So if we say “I am tired, I am sick, etc” the Universe will respond to that vibration of imbalance and continue to provide us with more imbalance, which of course, is the opposite of what we truly desire. So we have to use great clarity when choosing what follows those words “I am…”
Thoughts such as “I am happy, harmonious and healthy” or “I am relaxed and calm, and feel good about where I am along my life path” are excellent positive affirmations to use on a regular basis. So if you can relate a little too well with the negative “I am” thoughts, then maybe it’s time to have your own mini awakening. You, too, have the ability to make a conscious shift toward bringing more of these feel-good, high-vibration thoughts and statements into your field of thinking and your conversations. And it may have quite a remarkable impact on your everyday life and overall happiness!
Affirmations:
- I am joyful, radiant and in perfect alignment with the Universal stream of harmony and well being.
- I am open and receptive to all the light-filled, positive aspects that surround me each day.
- I do the inner work to shift toward good-feeling thought patterns and statements that support both my physical and emotional health.
A Day Without Electricity – Reflecting on Simple Joys
Posted by: | CommentsA hurricane with drenching rains and heavy winds. A complete power outage including cable outage — no lights, phones, TV or computer. Scented candles softly illuminating each room of the house. My husband and I sat facing each other — me, making the most of the situation and our quiet companionship — him, antsy and distracted wondering what ARE we going to DO with no computer or television or ball game to entertain us.
We sat, contemplating our situation, reflecting on the extreme and taken-for-granted role that electricity plays in our lives. My husband suggested playing Scrabble, but we weren’t sure where the game board was — and then if we even had the correct number of tiles that accompany the game. “How about cards?” I asked. So we decided to play Gin Rummy, something we have not played in many years since the children were young — and were straining our brains to remember the exact rules of the game (and we couldn’t look them up on the internet either.) I was feeling good about our decision to pass the time with this simple delight of card-playing, since it was so far removed from our everyday life. So my husband found a deck of cards and…. the lights suddenly flickered on!
And of course, what happened — my husband jumped for the TV remote, eagerly waiting for our Cable box to boot up, and I quietly retreated to the office to reboot my computer. So much for simple pleasures…
But I must admit that as electricity brought our house to life and the lights came on, I DID feel a remarkable sense of relief to be back in the year 2011…
That one day without power were quite thought-provoking for me and I am still reflecting on the experience. There was a profound lesson I took away from this brief removal from the land of electricity. And that is a real sense of appreciation for our modern lives. Having no working computer, cable connection and no internet – and not being able to power up my smartphone were tough, but the reality of having to deal with the total darkness, no working refrigerator and the possibility of soon running out of hot water were sobering thoughts.
So my sense of gratitude for those things which we routinely accept as a part of our sophisticated world has been strengthened. We are all so tuned in and plugged in to all the latest technology, that sometimes we forget about the simple joys in life, such as spending one on one time in person with those whom we love. So I definitely encourage you to acknowledge and appreciate the modern aspects of your life on a regular basis — you don’t need to wait for a hurricane or other natural disaster to drive home this message.
Affirmations:
- I gratefully acknowledge all the modern conveniences that fill my life.
- I make special time to spend with those close to me and our relationships are strengthened.
- Challenges and obstacles serve a purpose — to help me learn and grow!
Positive Attitude – Greet Each Day With Joy
Posted by: | CommentsIf you wake up in the morning with dread, thinking of all that will be wrong with the upcoming day, what do you think will happen? Yes, the day will turn into that self-fulfilling prophecy and end up as a “bad” day.
The Law of Attraction suggests to us that what we give our attention to expands, and grows to become our reality. So why should we give our attention to apprehension of a bad day when it is simple enough to give our attention to anticipating a good day?
Many people admit to me that they find it challenging to greet the day on an upbeat note. Sure, we all have trying days which hold hurdles for us — dental work, a doctor’s appointment or medical test, a tough exam we need to pass, a tight deadline, a meeting with the supervisor, etc.
Yet most days are just… days. Twenty-four hour chunks of time that we have the choice to either fill with good-feeling vibrations — or bad-feeling ones. The way we first begin our day is critical as to how the rest of the day will play out.
So it’s worth the extra effort and the personal work to reach for that pleasant, good-feeling thought upon first awakening. If you wake up surrounded by a cloud, figuratively “shake” it off and DECIDE to reach for a positive thought.
Yes, we all have days that we just get up on the grumpy side. I had one of those days recently, but as I came more into focus, the little voice in my head reprimanded me “You can do better than this. What kind of tone are you setting for the day?” So I quickly decided to affirm, “Okay, I can do it. I will greet this day with joy!” And once I made that state quick statement to myself, I could feel my whole demeanor shift. And it ended up being a glorious day!
Here are some tips to help you reach for morning joy:
• Find something — anything — that you can focus brightly on in the waking moment — even the softness of your pillow, the comfort of your blanket, the sun peeking in through the curtains, the sound of a bird chirping a pleasant melody. These are incredibly simple things, but can start a good-feeling mood flowing in.
• Appreciate your way to joy — as you come to awareness in the morning, remember to be grateful for the glory of awakening and being part of the breath of life. Feel gratitude for whatever blessings you can summon happily to mind.
• Say an affirmation: I am grateful for this new day. I will plan something joyful for today. I will find something exciting in my day today. I look forward to all the possibilities that will open to me. (Or, keep a few affirmations on index cards on a nearby table to reach for first-thing.)
• Enjoy a morning shower — really immerse yourself in the soothing, cleansing feel of it. I find this time extremely inspirational as ideas just seem to flow to me during this morning ritual. (Maybe it has to do with the flow of the warm, soothing water…) And if you like that classic “singing-in-the-shower” idea, go for it! Greet the day with song!
• Look forward to breakfast. Science has shown how essential those morning nutrients are to jumpstart the energy within our physical bodies. Have a nutritious meal (or item, such as a healthy smoothie/drink), whatever that is for you personally, but make sure it doesn’t include too much sugar. When you make breakfast a regular part of your day, you will feel better both physically and psychologically.
• Look ahead to some bright spot in your day. Surely there must be ONE thing that will stand out as being more positive for you, something you can look forward to — even if it is just taking your dog for a walk, posting on social media or trying that new restaurant during your lunch hour at work. Let that one positive aspect become your optimistic focal point. It can make a huge difference in the way the entire day unfolds…
Affirmations:
- Each day holds something exciting for me, along with bold new opportunities.
- I greet each morning with an optimistic thought to set the tone for the day.
- I consciously choose thoughts that cause me to feel joyful and inspired.
Kindness Toward Others – The Ripple of Positivity
Posted by: | Comments
In this world where everyone is often immersed in their own reality, sometimes mired in their own technology and often led by their own ego, it is helpful to keep in mind the importance of keeping connected with others.
And I do encourage you to shine your light as a beacon to others. Of course, your light must first radiate brightly within yourself. That is your own personal inner work and challenge: to discover and “maintain” your inner light.
As you pursue your own unique life path, it is a beautiful complement to walk in the company of others who overlap segments of your journey. Especially others whose energy resonates peacefully and supportively with yours.
When you are in a place and space of joy and radiance, (maybe not every single minute of every single day, but in general) embracing the good-feeling aspects of life, make an extra conscious effort to let your high-vibration harmonious state of mind flow out to others. Pay it forward — send out good vibes to others as compassion, healing and positivity.
With those in your own immediate life experience, be extra helpful, courteous and respectful — make this a worthy goal for this week. Go out of your way to do something positive and beneficial, perhaps even something that will take others by pleasant surprise. When you feel the brightness of good deeds done and positive actions taken that have helped light YOUR way, that is a particularly perfect time to pay it forward.
Perhaps this is the way to heal the world, starting on a very small level, one tiny ripple at a time… For if each of us makes that effort to help others, they in turn will help others, and more and more joyful energy will flow and heal… so find yourself in this lovely stream of optimism, compassion, inspiration and appreciation — and let it ripple out to all who you touch, both near and far…
Affirmations:
- I joyfully let my kind actions and compassionate thoughts ripple out toward others!
- Appreciation in my daily life helps keep my inner light shining brilliantly.
- I can begin to heal the world, one step at a time, beginning with me…
Positive Thinking – Releasing Worry and Fear-Based Thoughts
Posted by: | CommentsWorry is part of the human emotional scale — something we all do, some of us constantly and in a panicked way and others to a much lesser degree. Where do you fall on the spectrum of obsessing about concerns and things that can go wrong versus being a calm and peaceful being?
In Reiki, one learns the Five Precepts — principles by which to live our lives in a spiritual, balanced and healing manner. One of those is (you guessed it) “Do not worry” or “For today, let go of worry.” You certainly do not have to be Reiki-trained to focus on this guiding principle. The precepts encourage us to adopt this kind of balanced mindset “for today only” reminding us that living in the now moment is the place where we can begin to let go of our worrying.
I came from a traditional background of worriers — my core family lived with an unhealthy focus on anxiety, mired in a negative mindset. So that is what I learned from an early age. My grandmother was highly superstitious and I carried around many of her ingrained beliefs for a long time. Now I know that most superstitions are based on fear and limiting beliefs.
However, it was many years of me heading in the opposite direction of a black cat that was crossing the street, until I finally was able to overcome many of Grandma’s fear-based teachings. (Ironically, I now HAVE a black cat who has brought so much feline love into my life.)
Some “worrying” is probably helpful to keep us on our toes about tasks that need to get done, for instance, worrying about leaving the house in a state of safety (did I lock the doors, leave on lights, etc.)
Worrying about one’s health is generally not a productive attitude, but being concerned and going for a physical or to check out something that might need traditional medical attention may be helpful in that it motivates one to actions that are beneficial.
But is there a difference between obsessive worry and just generalized worry? I believe that it is obsessive worrying that is our downfall and causes us to sink into a place and space of negativity and inability to function in a truly healthy and harmonious way. However, if constant worrying is affecting your ability to think and function normally, then it would be wise to check with a mental health professional for some guidance.
Assuming that your worrying is within the range of “normal” what can you do to ease it?
1) Identify and acknowledge that you have overactive worry mindset. That in itself is a grand first step to begin to eliminate it.
2) In the words of the classic song “Don’t worry – be happy!” know that you CAN learn to choose more joyful thought patterns. Keep in mind that worries are a form of self-limiting beliefs and fear-based thinking. Once you can wrap your understanding around that, it becomes far easier to make a change.
3) When you find yourself stuck in the loop of worry, have a talk with yourself. Ask yourself exactly why you are worrying and let yourself acknowledge the worst that can happen. Once you have (briefly) “gone down to the depths” then design steps you can take and positive actions that will help you rise up. Begin to actively take those mental steps — one at a time — to walk in a path of greater light and positivity.
4) Substitute an affirmation(s) for negative mind chatter. This is especially helpful if you begin as soon as you find yourself getting caught up in a round of acute worry. (See affirmations below.)
5) Ask for guidance from friends and family. You are not alone in this life experience so reach out to others. Connection with supportive folks inspires comfort.
6) Ask for guidance from spiritual helpers (whatever resonates with you.) Ask the angels, Archangels, the Divine — and trust in your connection here. This kind of reaching out can actually be very healing and calming.
7) Incorporate pure fun and joy into your everyday life. You can’t occupy the space of both worry and enjoyment at the same time, so opt for the good-feeling actions, thoughts and emotions when possible. When you are feeling good about your now moments, then worries are eased out and happiness flows in.
Affirmations:
- I release worry as I welcome in a more joyful and positive mindset.
- I pay attention to the now moment and strive for a sense of harmony with that moment.
- I do the inner work of releasing anxiety and tension, and choosing optimism and balance.
Positive Attitude – Managing The Too-Busy Lifestyle
Posted by: | CommentsDo we tend to cram too much into our days and lives? How many tasks are too many for a healthy, balanced lifestyle?
For my own personal planning, I like to use Jack Canfield’s productivity tip called the “Rule of Five” which is listing five “to-dos” that are manageable, doable and clear in terms of one’s goals for the next day. My list WAS manageable for awhile but I lately find the list is overrun with way too many disjointed tasks and actions that I frantically try to get done. So I need to go back to streamlining and giving better thought to what I wish to accomplish. And just how I wish to spend divide up my days between work and pleasure.
Sometimes I believe it is where I live — that Long Island as part of the greater metropolitan area, breeds what I am coming to think of as the “too-busy” lifestyle. Or maybe it is now at the life stage I am at that my brain is just chock full of ideas, plans, as well as events, obligations, chores, etc. that pull me in every direction. Or that I ALLOW to pull me in every direction.
There are volumes written about time management and I myself write much about the beauty of living in the now moment. Yet when I pull back and get an objective glance at the multitasking that has become all too familiar to me, I realize that I need to do some real work on shifting this too-busy reality.
Do I truly have an answer about managing the too-busy lifestyle — perhaps not, since the way of shaping your day is a personal decision. However, I encourage you (as well as myself) not to lose sight of what is truly significant and part of our foundation for living a positive and connected life.
Do not be too busy to:
- Awake with happy anticipation and greet your day as if you expect fantastic events to unfold and all things positive to flow to you.
- Hold on to your light. Find your center, achieve your balance and focus on what is good within you as well as externally. Immerse yourself in an attitude of appreciation. Remain connected to your inner guidance.
- Shine your light for others. Allow the wellspring of compassion to always supply you with kindness toward others, whether they be human or animal.
- Remember your connection to the Divine, Source, your higher consciousness – whatever you personally relate to. And be joyful and honor that connection!
- Find pure bliss and peacefulness in each living, breathing moment, which means making an effort to focus on the present moment with clarity. Empower yourself with this simple but profound concept.
What about your own reality? Do you pace yourself well and manage your time in a coherent and balanced way? I’d love to know your thoughts, so please take a moment to post a comment here on my blog and I promise I won’t be too busy to read and respond to it!
Affirmations:
- When I awake, I look forward to my day with joyful enthusiasm and anticipation.
- I focus my rapt attention on living in the clarity of the now moment.
- I find it easy to shine my light of compassion and understanding to help and encourage others.
