The best way to take care of your heart Dear One, to strengthen it, and protect it, is to open it, trust it, and use it, as often as you possibly can.

Closing it off, shutting it down, or trying to shelter it from unwanted feelings will only serve to weaken it in the end, cutting you off from your source, leaving you far more vulnerable to hurt, deception, and negativity, than you would be otherwise.

So the next time you are in a situation where you feel like your heart needs protecting, remember, there is only one thing that you need to do; open it wider.

You try , you think about, you make every effort to watch what you eat Dear One, to exercise, to get enough sleep.

You do all of these things for the benefit of your health, for the benefit of your body.

And yet you still allow yourself to think, to indulge, to swim in negative, damaging, and unkind thoughts, about yourself, about others, about the world around you, all the time.

Your thoughts have just as much of an impact on your physical body as your diet, activity level, and sleep habits do.

Even more so actually.

Just a little reminder Dear One, not to leave them out of the equation, when trying to create good health for yourself.

You are not a disappointment Dear One.  We are not disappointed in you.  We never have been, and we never will be. Ever.

Why?

Because we have no expectations of you.  We have only love, acceptance, compassion, support, guidance, and applause for you.

We require nothing of you, nothing from you.  And we never will.  You simply can’t let us down.

We don’t have a list of rules that we need you to follow, or a set of demands that we need you to meet, before we will give you our love.

It is already yours.  All of it.  We couldn’t love you more than we do right now, even if we tried.

So if that was one of your worries Dear One, if that was one of your fears, that you were not, that you are not, living up to our expectations, up to spirits expectations, of what you are meant to do, be, have, or accomplish in this life, you can at long last, let that one go, once and for all.

The more Love you bring into this world Dear One, the more Love there will be.

Act courageously today Dear One.

Do something that you have been afraid to do.  Say something that you have been afraid to say. Decide not to let the fear of rejection, embarrassment, or failure stop you.

And at the end of the day, regardless of the outcome, celebrate the fact that you did it.

Don’t carry the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, feelings, and emotions that you didn’t like yesterday, with you into tomorrow Dear One, if you do not want them there.

There is no rule that requires you to continue to carry all of your baggage with you from one day to the next.

It is just as easy for you not to do this, as it is to do it.

All that is required is a little bit of conscious choice.

If the thought that you are thinking right now does not feel good to you Dear One, pick a new one.

Immediately.

Why are we always encouraging you to come back to the present moment Dear One?

•  It is the only place you can heal.
•  It is the only place you can grow.
•  It is the only place you can create.
•  It is the only place you can feel pleasure.
•  It is the only place you can build confidence.
•  It is the only place you can have an intimate connection with someone.
•  It is the only place that you can fully enjoy the experience of being you, of being alive.

That’s why.

Tomorrow will always be there Dear One.  But today will come and go.

It would be a real shame if you were to waste it.

So don’t.

Fun.

Make it a priority to have some today Dear One.

Okay?!
