Holding on...

 

Today I will hold on...I will consciously stay in the present. I will surround myself with love...with hope...I find myself projecting forward to an outcome that I have no control over...But wait...I do have control over how I will react to that outcome no matter what it is...I do have control over how it will effect this day...this present moment...I know that it is senseless to project myself forward...so today, I will hold on...I will consciously stay present...I love and I am loved no matter what the outcome may be...today, I will hold on...

How can you change your reaction to today?

Wishes...

I have gotten out of the habit of making wishes...wishes for myself...there was a time where I would wish on the first star...or when blowing out the candles on my birthday cake...At one time I use to place my hand on my heart and wish for the highest and best things for myself...Today, I am aware to focus on the wishes that I have in my heart for myself...for love...for harmony...for happiness...It is easy to forget how powerful our thoughts are...I sit calmly this morning...I raise my hand to my heart and I make a wish...I invite my self to focus on the wishes I hold for myself...

What wishes do you hold in your heart for yourself?

 

Permission...

I kept a journal several years ago where I made myself a permission slip every week for a year...eventually that journal was made into a book for others to use them...but in the past year I have forgotten to give myself permission on many days...I pulled out the book today and opened it randomly and the page opened to "See Your Beauty" day...

So I take a step backwards for a moment...I hold up my mirror and give myself a break...give myself a pat on the back...I acknowledge my unique spirit...and I give myself permission to stand and appreciate the beauty that rises from the inside out...

What do you need permission for today?

 

Listen...

Today, I will be aware to listen...listen to my heart...listen to my inner voice. I have a deep desire to grow...to return to listening to the whispers of my heart that show me the way to my happiness. Today, I will be aware to dance with my inner self to allow myself to participate in a life of satisfaction, joy and gratitude. Today, I will be aware to listen in order to expand and grow...to dare myself...to be proud of who I am...to create and do what I love...to play...to dream...Today, I will be aware to listen to my heart because I realize that I get to choose...

Do you hear the whispers of your heart?

Reflection Friday...

I have decided that I should take Friday and reflect on my week...my week of this small journal...to see what it is that I have been aware of and where it is that I still need to work on (but then aren't we all a work in progress!?)
This week I have been aware to follow my BLISS...I pick up paint and pen...I allow my heart to speak to me through them and with them...to see and feel how happy they both make me.
I am aware to RISE...to greet each morning with the knowledge that it is a brand new day...a day of my own creation...a day that I get to fill anyway I want to...
I am aware that I am UNLOCKING MY SHADOW ENERGY...that I am learning to heal...I am learning to acknowledge...I am learning to forgive...I am learning that she is not to be feared, but rather to embrace her with love and compassion...
I am aware that I continue to GROW...that I am planting myself firmly in my creativity...allowing me to be happier...to know that in order to grow I must continue to listen to my heart...listen to the whispers...
As I use this day to REFLECT I see that I am spreading my wings...that I am beginning to believe once again in my value and my voice...that by opening my heart and my mind I can feel the happiness deep to my core...

Today is a very good day to not worry and just be happy!

What messages did you receive this week?

Grow...

 

I will continue to grow...to root myself a little more firmly every day...to feel my warmth and touch my stars...my life is full...full of my experiences (both big and small)...full of love...full of triumphs and failures (both of which have brought me to this space I am in now)...full of inspiration and curiosity...I will continue to grow...how do I know I am growing? I laugh more (despite what is going on around me)..I smile more and sing out loud...I am happy and I am celebrating who I am and what I can do...My life is full and I will continue to grow... 

 

How do you continue to grow?





Releasing my shadow energy...

 

I suffer from depression (doesn't everyone?!)...I have for the past 45 years...Although I take medication my shadow side still appears...I have to be honest, I am accustomed to having her by my side...within the past several years I have been more aware of the patterns that trigger her...but what I am finding out (rather loudly I have to say) is that she has a lot of energy! and she has a voice that wants to be heard...I want to unlock that energy...to defy the pull of my past and step into the possibilities of my one true self...I no longer am under the belief that my shadow is trying to destroy me...instead I am finding that it is trying to lead me back...back to the wholeness of me...that it is not me that is "not enough" but rather it is my shadow that is hurt...lost and in great need of love and acceptance...So I am challenging myself...I am allowing the shadow to have her voice...I will unlock her energy in order to bring forgiveness and compassion to the parts of me that feel as if they are "not good enough" ...I will listen and learn from her...allowing her to help me expand the boundaries of my own creation.

Do you have trapped energy that needs to be unlocked?
