Choosing to change can be hard enough Dear One, so why not choose to leave the judgment out of it.

Make change a judgment free zone.

What does that mean?

• It means no beating yourself up for wanting, needing or having to change in the first place, for not doing it sooner, perfectly, or as good as, or better than anyone else.
• It means no harsh or negative self-talk while you in the middle of it (or at any other time either for that matter).
• It means no could have’s, should have’s, or would have’s if only I had……
• It means not using someone’s else’s path, experience, or success as an opportunity to diminish your own.

It means being loving, kind and nurturing to yourself throughout the process.   It means reassuring yourself that you areworth it, that you will, figure it out, that it will get easier, that you will feel better, and that you are not in it alone.    It means celebrating, honoring and cheering yourself on for making the decision to change in the first place and for being on your way.

Think about how much more energy you will have available to you to dedicate to your work, to yourself, to the changes that you are trying to make Dear One, if you left the judgment out of it.

Trust us.  It’s a lot.

Life really is simple Dear One.

It is made up of a series simple decisions, simple choices, simple tasks, and simple relationships, that all come together to create your experience.

If what you are going through right now is anything other than simple, then you can be sure that there is another way, another option, another path available to you in this moment that you can follow that will make it so.

We promise you Dear One, it ‘s there.

You just need to stop and give yourself the time to look for it, simply.

When choosing your traveling companions Dear One, whether it be those that will walk with you for a moment, a mile (or many) or a lifetime, remember this – No one can propel you forward and no one can hold you back, but you. So you can take that responsibility off of their shoulders.

You and you alone are responsible for the direction that your life is headed at any given moment.  So you can stop giving them all the credit, or all the blame for the direction you now find yourself moving.

Others can influence you, encourage you, assist you, teach you, inspire you, order you, belittle you, frighten you, attempt to weigh you down or manipulate you even, to you move in this direction or that direction – but the choice for which direction you choose to travel is ultimately yours and yours alone.

Always has been.  Always will be.

Are you thrilled or terrified by the thought of embracing this truth Dear One?

Sometime healing does not require a new herb, potion, tonic or pill Dear One.  Sometimes it does not require a new way of thinking, moving, eating, or behaving. Sometimes it does not require a new mantra, meditation, massage or treatment.  Sometimes it doesn’t even require compassion, understanding, insight or forgiveness.

Sometimes Dear One, the only thing that is required to heal, is rest.

So, before you go off in search of a new answer, a new technique, a new practice, a new method, a new plan for healing your body, for healing your mind, for healing your life, why not give resting a try first and see how you feel.

You want to feel more powerful Dear One?

Then choose to think, speak and act from one of the most powerful places within you — your truth.

Not theirs, yours.

You are the author of your life Dear One.

You are the one writing your own history everyday.

You are the only one who gets to decide what kind of story it will be.

So what kind of history do you want to write for yourself today?

• Do you want to write a story about joy, love, compassion, bravery, or connection?   About creativity, taking a risk, forgiveness, patience or perseverance?
• Or do you want to write a story about fear, guilt, getting by, playing it safe or making excuses?  About jealousy, anger, ego, hatred, frustration or giving up?

You’ve got complete creative freedom Dear One.

Write yourself well!

How do you achieve mastery of your own heart Dear One?

You trust it.

We want you to know Dear One that destiny, the universe, God, spirit, prana, fate, life force, serendipity, karma, whatever you want to call it, whatever you believe in, is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, not the most powerful force in the universe dictating the course of your life.

You are.

Accept this, believe this to be true Dear One, and you will be accepting one of the most powerful, the most precious, the most empowering gifts in all of creation – the limitless power of choice.

Standing in front of a well-stocked refrigerator will not make you any less hungry Dear One.

Sandwiches do not magically make themselves.

Happiness works in much the same way.

If you want some (or more), you’re going to have to reach out (or in) and help yourself.

The essence of what you think about, what you talk about, what you focus on, and what you give your attention to, is what will come to you Dear One.

This is all that we have to say on the subject.

This is all that you need to know.

There is nothing more helpful, useful, revealing, or insightful, that we can share with you.

It really is just that simple.
