Don’t promise that you won’t give up Dear One – Promise that you’ll always do your best.

Don’t promise that you won’t be afraid – Promise to trust that all will be well.

Don’t promise that you won’t hate anymore – Promise that you’ll forgive

Don’t promise to stop doing that which you know does not serve you anymore – Promise to love and care for yourself, no matter what.

While they both may result in you choosing the same behavior, the difference between the two Dear One, is night and day.

If you don’t want it anymore Dear One, if you don’t like it anymore, stop choosing it, (over and over again).

You don’t need to push it away, shove it out, or try to force it out of sight and out of mind to get rid of it.  In fact, you really don’t need to exert any effort at all.

You simply need to stop choosing it.

Remember that you aren’t just choosing with your actions. You are choosing with your thoughts, with your beliefs, and with the focus of your attention.

We know that there are so many things in this life that you are looking forward to Dear One, that you want to experience, hold-on to, and create more of for yourself, so why give even one more minute of your attention to anything else?

Decide right now how you are going to approach the day Dear One.

Decide right now what your attitude is going to be.

• Are you going to approach it with excitement or dread?
• With faith or fear?
• With strength or weakness?
• With compassion or anger?
• With hatred or forgiveness?
• With self-love or self-loathing?
• With an open heart or a closed one?

Now is the time to make up your mind.

You don’t yet know what the day is going to bring you.  But you can be certain that you are not going to get to choose all of the people, events and circumstances that are going cross your path.

But that is no reason for you to get caught off guard.

Be prepared.

The choices that you get to make and the things that you have control over, are infinitely more powerful and influential in shaping and determining the course and quality of your life, then those that you have no control over ever will be.

The single most important thing that you can do for yourself in this moment Dear One, is to restore balance, to allow balance to be restored.

This should be your top priority until it has once again been achieved.

You do this one conscious choice at a time.

How?

Before you do anything else, remember to ask yourself this:

 Will this choice, will this action, will this meal, will this drink, will this purchase, will this person, will this conversation, will this decision, bring me closer to achieving balance in my life or carry me farther away from it?

If you choose to move towards balance Dear One, intentionally, every time, it will not be long until you are once again experiencing it.

The more attention you give it Dear One, the longer it will stick around.

The less attention you give it, the quicker it can be on its way.

Don’t put any unnecessary pressure on yourself to perform today Dear One.

Your only job is to show up, be yourself and experience joy.

That’s all.

You don’t have to try to do, be or have anything else.

Okay?

So lighten up on yourself a bit and remember to have some fun.

If it doesn’t feel right to you Dear One, then it’s not right for you.

Pay attention to how you feel, trust your heart, and you’ll know.

They will follow your lead Dear One.

They will take their direction from you.

They will treat you the way that they see you treating you.

Just one more reason for you to treat yourself well.

Just one more reason for you to treat yourself with love, kindness, forgiveness, flexibility, generosity, honesty, compassion and respect.

Like it or not Dear One, change is coming.  And that means that you’ve got a decision to make.

You have to decide if you are going to choose to embrace it or reject it – If you are going to choose to participate in the process or not.

But you should know that change will come either way, regardless of what you decide.  Life will continue to flow, evolve, move and shift around you no matter what you choose.

You can either participate in the process or not , but you can not stop it from happening.

The truth of it is Dear One, that you are participating either way.  Every thought, feeling, belief and emotion that you have is creating your point of attraction, is setting your vibrational tone.  And everything that comes your way, including change,  does so because it is a vibrational match to you.

You can create change consciously Dear One, or you can create change unconsciously, but either way, it’s coming and there is nothing you can do about that.

How it comes however, is totally and completely up to you.

Take a few minutes and write down 5 things that you are grateful for Dear One.

Why?

Because gratitude is a powerful emotion and we want you to enjoy the benefits that it will bring to your day.
