one of my daily reminders for myself... I can't learn about myself if I have any previous opinion about myself.

shining the #light of #death on #life - part 2

Daily #meditation...to truly give and receive #love, we must try to love ourselves. It's amazing how our critical mind quiets when we flood it with approval and love. Try to catch the negative thoughts as they come and replace them with love and approval. It's a practice - and just trying makes a difference. When we come from a place of self-compassion and acceptance, it's easier to put ourselves out there to others. Affirm yourself when negative self-talk arises. You deserve kind words and acceptance.

daily #meditation - when doubt fills your mind, stop and remember that the answer is ready to be discovered. Your soul is your inner compass and when you spend time in solitude and contemplation, the answer will appear. Your intuition is a well of wisdom and is always available to you. Doubt is just fear trying to sneak its way into your mind and keep you from moving forward. You know better - and stillness will help you summon the strength to loosen fear's grip.

daily #meditation - when a baby is born, development takes time. It is an amazing and intricate process to go from infancy to adulthood. Growth takes time. The same is true for our intentions. Look back three months and recall what your #intentions were. Acknowledge where you are now. If you believe growth isn't happening, ask yourself what you can do differently to encourage growth. Bless the process and know that even with minor strides, growth is taking place.

daily #meditation - think about your favorite place in nature and how it makes you feel. It's important to feed our souls by removing ourselves from everyday life and connecting with our inner animal. Each of us has a spirit that is awakened by being in nature. Enable your wild side to be nurtured by its innate need to be in a natural environment. The mountains, desert, ocean, hills, lakes and trees are calling. Where will you go to awaken your spirit?

daily #meditation - what's one thing you've always wanted to do but haven't found time to do yet? Now visualize yourself doing just that. What does it feel like? You can make it happen! Write out the actions you need to take to develop this reality. Create progress by showing up for your vision. Move in that direction every day. Small steps equal progress, and progress takes time, so be patient with your process. Slow and steady and you can make a dream come true.

daily #meditation - striving for balance can feel like an uphill battle, one that never reaches a summit. As we strive to balance life, we often become even more imbalanced. There will be times when certain areas in our lives demand more attention than others. When this happens, instead of stressing out about balance, strive to bring grace and understanding to the situation and the process. Life has ups and downs. Bless the highs and lows: thy are what make life such a magnificent journey.

daily #meditation - beginnings create a fresh perspective and sense of excitement. Think about what it would feel like if you entered each day with enthusiasm and newness. By putting your attention on the day ahead, possibilities can feel endless. When we take our thoughts away from yesterday and enter each day with a fresh start, we allow life to surprise and delight us. Challenge yourself to find something new each day. Turn your awareness to the present moment and begin again.
