The thought of being overwhelmed Dear One, the anticipation of not being able to handle it all, can actually be more stressful then the stress of doing all that you need to do.

So what can you do to reduce the stress?

Eliminate the anticipation.

• Instead of telling yourself “I can’t”, tell yourself “I can”
• Instead of telling yourself “it’s going to be a nightmare”, tell yourself  “everything is going to work out for the best”
• Instead of telling yourself  “I don’t have all the answers”, tell yourself  “I know all of the answers will come to me”

And believe it.

Life is stressful enough Dear One.

There really is no need for you to add to it.

Do your choices, thoughts, beliefs, and actions reflect your desires Dear One?

Do they match up?

• If you want more joy in your life, are you making choices, thinking thoughts, maintaining beliefs, and taking actions that make you feel joyful?

• If you want more freedom in your life, are you making choices, thinking thoughts, maintaining beliefs, and taking actions that make you feel free?

• If you want more love, abundance, peace, or beauty in your life, are you making choices, thinking thoughts, maintaining beliefs, and taking actions that make you feel loved, abundant, peaceful and beautiful?

So now do you see Dear One?

If what you want, is not what you’ve got, now you know what you can do about it.

What if, in this moment Dear One, you decided to love yourself unconditionally, to nurturer yourself, to honor yourself, to forgive, care for and prioritize yourself, to accept yourself exactly where and as you are, to be a peace?

What if, in this moment, you decided to remember that you are worthy, that you are divine, that the reason that you are here is to have a joyful experience of being alive?

If you did this Dear One, would the next choice that you make, the next answer that you give, the next action that you take, the next words that you speak, the next thought that you think, be any different?

People make mistakes Dear One (yourself included).  It happens.

Berating them for it, making them feel badly about it, attempting to scold or punish them for it, is not going to help, fix, or undo it,  is not going serve anyone or anything in any positive way.

Bitching, complaining, ranting, raving, and acting out, while it may feel good and appropriate in the moment, will not help them or you to turn things around, or improve the situation at all. But, focusing your attention and energy on the desired outcome, on identifying a solution, on making things better, on how to improve things from here,  will.

We thought that you should know Dear One, that regardless of what you have heard, read, or been told in the past, there are no second chances.

And there are no third, or fourth chances either.

There are only opportunities, and choices to be made.

And you will never run out of either.

We promise.

So don’t sweat it!

Be at peace with where you are Dear One – as the place where you are now standing is a pretty remarkable one.
Why?  Because you are there.

You are a blessed being, divine, an expression of spirit in the physical.  Do you have any idea just how remarkable it is to get to be in the physical – on the leading edge of creation – on the leading edge of all that is?  Well, we’ll tell you, it’s pretty remarkable.

There is so much going on around you and within you, in every moment, that we are constantly amazed that you are not constantly amazed.   You have access to an unlimited number of experiences, a constantly changing stream of them; one, and then the next, and then the next – and you have the remarkable ability to contribute to the creation of each one, to allow them or resist them, and to interact with them in any way that you choose.

So now do you understand?

The place that you are standing is a pretty remarkable one. Why?  Because you are there.

Don’t feel badly about that which you did not know yesterday Dear One.  Rejoice in all that you do know today.

Be gentle, loving, kind and forgiving of yourself as you learn and grow and make progress along your path.

You know more today then you did yesterday – and you will know even more still tomorrow.

P.S.

The same holds true for those around you.   So  try to remember to be gentle, loving, kind and forgiving of them as well.

The realization that you are bound by nothing but your beliefs and the limits of your own imagination – That is what true independence is Dear One.

Abundance is a mindset Dear One.  It is not an actual physical state of being.

Acquiring abundance, acquiring more joy, success, love, wealth, comfort, health, more anything, more everything in your life is not actually a journey of accumulation, but one of release.

The more you let go of your belief that you live in a universe of limited resources, the more you let go of limiting thoughts, beliefs, actions and behaviors, the more abundance you will allow, the more abundant you will be.

If your body is telling you that it needs some time off Dear One, take it.

Trust us when we tell you that you will be so much better off choosing to do so now while the choice is still yours to make.
