How are you using your mind?

Your assignment for today is to notice if you are using your mind to empower you or to enslave you?  Just notice. Do your thoughts make you feel good or bad? You can use your mind to propel you toward your dreams or hold you back in fear and thoughts of limitation.  Today, just notice if your mind is supporting you?  Huge elephants are held back by a thin rope because they are trained when they are little that they can't break it.  They don't break their limiting belief and stay held by something that truly has no physical power over them.  What flimsy little ropes are holding you back??? The next step will be to change your thoughts when they are limiting you.  

Please let me know what comes up for you?  How are you holding yourself back? How is your mind enslaving you?  How do you plan to change that?  How is your mind empowering you? What can you do to feed that?

You are love

I love affirmations.  I remember reading the simple statement, "Everything you say to yourself is an affirmation."  It really hit home that negative comments, self-criticism, doubt, and worry are all affirmations which I do not want but if I keep saying them over and over in my head they will come true for me.  Yikes!!  That was scary until I realized that I control my thoughts - even though it may not always seem that way.  So what do I choose to think???  I choose to think positive thoughts.  I choose to think joyful thoughts.  I choose to recognize my own and everyone else's magnificence even when it is not be readily displayed.  We are human after all :)

What thoughts do you want to think today?  What beliefs do you want to instill or change?  Put some positive affirmations that make you really feel good where you will see them regularly.  Some places that could work are: screen savers, desktop background, phone background, bathroom mirror, refrigerator, or your planner/appointment book.  Remind yourself that you are love, you are pure energy, and you are a shining light!!!

Shine on!!  Let me know how this feels for you.  An advanced exercise is to say these in front of the mirror!!  Notice what comes up and post below.

Have an amazing day!!

You are light, love, and beauty

Good Morning!!  Today I challenge you to take 5 minutes or even 3, to just relax and breathe.  Focus on your breathing with the intention of recognizing your true self who is pure love, light, joy, and beauty!  Know that you are amazing!!  Fall in love with your true nature.  This will not result in narcissism - that is loving your own ego too much.  This will result in finding inner peace and love and acceptance of yourself and everyone else.  You are amazing and I love you!!!  Comment below on what comes up for you!
