“The past does not define you, the present does.” ~ Jillian Michaels

Feeling heavy or sluggish? Want to feel light and energetic? Let go of the negative thoughts, hurtful experiences and other people’s stuff that we are dragging around daily. When we re-run personal stories in our head, we are living in the past and chaining ourselves to thoughts that do not serve who we are right now. How much does that guilt, shame, regret, anger or blame weigh? A ton! 

Daily Affirmations  with Louise Hay

• I laugh at life (and at myself) and choose not to be offended by anyone or anything.

• I live a life of joy, unhindered by judgement. I accept all people as they are, including myself.

There is a Jewish Proverb that says, “What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul”. So very true! You can literally feel the shift after a good hearty laugh, it reduces stress and cleanses the soul. Laughter heals and also releases stored negative energy.

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” ~ Bindi Irwin

Being our true self also means accepting our true self. Exploring within and not hiding out from any things we want to improve. Acceptance brings with it a peace within and we also open ourselves to a whole world of new perceptions from this place of our truth.

“When you are grateful – when you can see what you have – you unlock blessings to flow in your life.” ~ Suze Orman

There is something good in everything, even though sometimes it seems well hidden. We can find something to be grateful for in every situation. Pulling from The Secret: If you make time to list all the things you are grateful for and you feel the feelings of gratitude, you will feel amazing every day. Your frequency will be high and you will move through your day in love and being alive, bringing joy wherever you go, positively affecting one person after another. When you live life like this, everything you want will come before you even ask.

“The more you trust your intuition, the more empowered you become, the stronger you become, and the happier you become.” ~ Gisele Bündchen

Intuition is calling…answer it. The hunch, gut feeling, the inside ‘knowing’ is Angel talk and should not be ignored. Let’s not dismiss those random thoughts that pop into our heads, guiding us with inspiration, ideas and solutions. It’s not something we have to reach for, just be open and allow.

Everything we achieve begins with desire, the wonderfully innate and powerful feeling that propels us to act. Desire also lowers the resistance to any blocks we might put up as defense mechanisms that come from fear, doubt or insecurity.

“A sense of humor is good for you. Have you ever heard of a laughing hyena with heart burn?” ~ Bob Hope

Happy Monday! A great way to start the week is the reminder to find happiness in ordinary things, allow the humor in to lighten the load and joy in to release the stress.

“The more you smile in life, the more life smiles on you.” ~ Mark Amend

What is a smile? it’s that connection between two people. A sincere gesture of a hello and ‘I see you’, versus the usual rhetorical passing question of Hi, how are you (to which we usually keep walking and never await an answer). A smile transcends language and culture and is a pure demonstration of kindness. It is scientifically proven that a smile changes our mood and attitude for the better, relieves stress and actually lowers blood pressure.

“Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.” ~ Mary Lou Retto

“The more you believed in yourself, the more you could trust yourself. The more you trust yourself, the less you compare yourself to others.” ~ Roy T. Bennett

When we are caught up in the confusion of a situation, it’s very tough to get a clear vision of the next step. It’s easy to get sucked out of ourselves and feel anxiety, fear and worry. This is why TRUST in self is so important. Once we get out of those chaotic thoughts and into a centered space, we have the freedom we need and can be more creative in finding our own answer.
