Happy New Year everyone!

It is standard for everyone to go back and look at the past year to see what they need to change about themselves. Isn't that just the silliest thing? Who says this is a rule?

The art of loving yourself should be your first resolution. It should be your priority.

Why would we want to look back at the past year and see anything wrong? We should celebrate that we lived 365 days and ready to start another 365.

Isn’t it time that we take a look at ourselves in the best light possible and we stop being critical of who we are and appreciate the great person that we have always been?

Isn’t it time for you to take stock of all the things that you did right last year, the things that went right for you and all that felt good.

Look for the happy times you shared and the love that you gave and received each month of 2014.

Look for all that you did to make your life better and the ways that you are still doing it.

Embrace all of the good qualities you have for they are far better and there are more of them than anything you might feel are negative.

Start out 2015 with the knowledge that you are a valuable part of the human race, you lend so much to all of us here and you are so worthy of all that you have and do.

Don’t change anything about yourself you don't want to. If in fact you want to improve parts of yourself whatever that may be, do it with a smile and know that you are just enhancing all that you are.

First and foremost be happy with yourself! Make your own rule about life and how you want it to live it. It makes it all so much simpler.

Many Blessing to all and may this be a year that brings you the best of everything.

Happiness Is Just A Thought Away


Happiness is always the goal of each of us everyday. We are always reaching for the happiest moments we can find or are we?

If we are to find these happy moments we must try to look for them everywhere. Even the smallest happy moment is a good one.

I would ask you if you start your morning watching the news or reading the newspaper?

Do you find if this is the case that you are taking on the troubles of the whole news oriented program or newspaper. Do you then start thinking in terms of what you have been focusing on during this program or paper and become agitated or unhappy or troubled?

What if you did not invite this programming in? What if you decided to start the day by looking around you and appreciating where you are, what you have, and who you are? What if you chose to think of all the good things that are happening in your life and be very thankful for them?

What if you started your day in the most calm and relaxed state you can have, letting the good feelings of just being flow?

If we choose to we can find all that is good in our lives and project that energy all around us. We then start looking at life in a different way and understand that our own physical space is our responsibility and we can make this space as happy as we can by appreciating what we have and what we can do by thinking in this  manner.

For instance just appreciating the sky and the nature that surround you even if it is a single tree that you see. Be thankful for your residence, your bed, your yard, your pet, your family.

If you would, take the time to find things that inspire you, that uplift you. This happens too you know, if fact more often I am sure than all of the mayhem broadcasted constantly. It is your choice what you focus on.

Just think if you were sharing the stories of good things happening in our world instead of what is wrong with it. This would lighten your spirit constantly.

When you are looking for things to be thankful for be thankful that you can feel happiness and the fact that you are changing your thoughts to seeing what is good in your life.

We all can look for the unhappy things and go on and on about them but there as many happy things in our lives if we just point them out and keep our focus on them.

It is of course a choice for us, we can choose to keep bemoaning the state of the world and everything we think is wrong with the human race or we can choose to find what is right in our lives, what we can be thankful for and we can recognize the people in our lives that make up the human race that are wonderful to be with and enjoy.

This is up to you......just how you look at life .......your own specifically.

I challenge you to stop taking on the weight of the world and to start enjoying what your life is, where you are and what you are doing.

If in fact you want to change some of these things for a happier way of life good for you, but please make the effort to see in your own physical space the beauty and joy and happiness that is all around you.

Many Blessing to All

Focus

Focus: a main purpose or interest

We are using our focus constantly all during the day.

We focus on our daily routine, whatever that might be, but are we really aware of what that focus is and how it affects us.

When we wake up in the morning we immediately start focusing on the day ahead. Thoughts pop into our heads about what we need to do, where we need to be and how we things need to get done.

 It is so natural for us to do this we don't even think about how we are using our focus. 

What if we were to become aware of how we are focusing, what we are focusing on and how we can use focus to make every day better?

Whatever your lifestyle is we all wake up thinking about what is to be done for the day. Take a minute and think about how you start your focus.


Are you anticipating any hardships for the day before you even begin?
Are you projecting the outcome of circumstances in your day before you have even arrived at your destination?
Are you thinking of a co-worker that you know is going to ruin your day?
Are you thinking about traffic?
Are you thinking about not having enough time for everything?

What if.......you decided that you would focus the first thing in the morning on feeling good in every part of yourself.....mind....body and spirit.

What if .......you decided that you would focus on all the good things about who you are, what you do, and the things in your life that make you feel good when you bring them to mind.

What if......you decided to treat everyone like you would like to be treated.....even if they don't act that way back.

What if.....you decided that your focus would be that the day was going to go smoothly.....it would be easy in every way.

What if ......you decided for the day that there would be no anger.....impatience,  or criticism of yourself or others in your daily routine.

What if you decided to look at each person you deal with as a soul who is trying to make the best of their own life.....one you don't understand......and not judge them ......but feel compassion for them.

Those are just some suggestions on how you could use your focus if you chose to. I am sure once you start thinking you could come up with many that would suit your lifestyle and how you live.

If we could make the habit of seeing the bright spots of our day.....of laughing.....of enjoying life.....making it a ritual to just be in a frame of mind that feels good.....there would be more energy .....a healthier way to feel......and we would be using our thoughts for our greater good.

 Take a moment and peruse where your focus has been. Do you feel good or not so good when you find it?

I would challenge you to find the best focus for your own well-being and when you do use it to the best of your ability.

Focusing on what is good, what feels great, and what we want in our lives helps us to bring better health to ourselves.

It is all of our goals I am sure to feel the best we can feel......by using your focus to make sure that you are tuned in to using it the wisest way that you can .......you will find that you are better spiritually.....mentally and physically.

Many Blessings to All of You

It Is All About Love

Love: a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person

 

February is the month that brings celebrating love and what we feel for each other in a holiday.

Valentines are a form of communicating what we feel for those that we are close to. There are many variations of Valentines from the funny to the very sentimental.

 If you were to pick out a Valentine for yourself what would it say to you?

It should be a very special one because acknowledging love for yourself is important.

We have no problem picking them out for those we have deep feelings for, those that are special to us, so we should not have any trouble picking out what we would want to express to ourselves because we should be the most special person we know.

Love is an easy thing to give to others, but it is most important that we give it to ourselves.

So if you were to pick out a Valentine for yourself I would hope that it would be the most loving, the kindest and most supportive one that would be in the card section.

It should say:

• You are such a caring person.

• You are very special and unique.

• You brighten everyone’s day.

• You are valued for all that you do.

• You are loved by many.

• You contribute so much to all that know you because of your brilliant and beautiful spirit.

If you were to think of all the things that are positive and joyful about yourself and focus on those traits, you would find that loving yourself becomes easier and easier.

If you don’t take special care of yourself how can you expect it from others? If you don’t recognize the good things about who you are and acknowledge them to yourself, you are not feeling as good as you could.

Make it a point to look for your good points, as you do you, will feel better and better.

Instead of looking for happiness from others we should make ourselves as happy as we can. When your happiness comes from within, there is a powerful energy around you, and those that are important to you will be enveloped in it.

Be comfortable with who you are, be in tune with your bright and beautiful spirit. You have a kindness about you that you can enhance by just acknowledging it. You are a caring person, one who feels compassion for others, so just let these feelings be a central part of the terrific person that is you.

When you feel good about yourself the whole world will feel improved and illuminated. You will feel it and this feeling will become a basis for you to know that you are certainly on the right track of feeling good about yourself, loving who you are, and this feeling will grow for you so that feeling good is an every day occurance.

When you focus on your life moment by moment, let go of the past, and just allow yourself to feel good about who you are and where you are, you find everything just eases up, you feel centered, and with this comes a true appreciation of who you really are and how special your life is.

Let go of all of the negative things you might have held onto about yourself and know that you are important, cared about, and a central part of the Universe.

Love yourself and your life, and you will find that it becomes as happy as you allow it to be. Start today, no matter what your circumstances are so that as you change the direction of your feelings, your life can change directions too.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Many Blessing to All
