I Decide What I Focus On

I STOP GOOD THINGS FROM HAPPENING … every time I feel disappointed that I haven’t yet got what I want!
I START MORE GOOD THING HAPPENING … in the moment I feel appreciation for what I’ve already been given.

I DECIDE what I focus my attention on.
I DECIDE the direction my mood swings.
I DECIDE my responses to situations.
I DECIDE the quality of my life.

I’m A Bad Girl

CONFESSION # 21

I’M A BAD GIRL

but I was born to be happy, not to behave.
I was born to follow my dreams, not to follow the visions of others.
I was born to love with all of my heart, not to be afraid that my heart might break.
I was born to live fully, to love unconditionally, to grow gracefully, to contribute quietly,
to laugh heartily, to build people up and to soothe their souls …

… I was born to be free, and I was born to be ME!

My Ten Commandments

MY TEN COMMANDMENTS (simple strategies to help me live a more fulfilled life)

1. Breathe deeper (always helpful).
2. Take notice of what I’m thinking now and make sure it’s about things I DO want, not about what I don’t.
3. Only get involved in conversations that are uplifting.
4. Spend as much time as possible appreciating everything I’ve already been given and being thankful for what’s still to come.
5. Write down the positive aspects of every situation that’s causing me discomfort.
6. Make sure my beliefs line up with what I want for my life.
7. Allow other people the space to grow, to live their own lives and NOT become dependent on me for anything.
8. Give to myself first. When I fill myself up, the overflow naturally showers others.
9. Be authentic. Follow my bliss. Live the life that’s right for me, in tune with my own integrity.
10. Do whatever it takes to align myself with my creator, my inner self, with God, with love and then allow all thoughts, words and actions be inspired from that place of deeper knowing.

The Best Part Of Life Is Yet To Come

CONFESSION #300

THE BEST PART OF LIFE IS YET TO COME

When I’m enchanted by the future and not obsessed with the past,
life takes on new meaning where no dark shadows can be cast.
There’s not one thing I can dream of that cannot be given,
By this abundant universe … vibrationally driven.

When I feel positive emotion all good things are drawn,
towards me with haste, soon after the thought has been born.
To live life with forward vision of what’s possible to create,
is more fulfilling than talking about the past for heavens sake.

When the time comes to ask someone, how have you been?
instead I prefer to say, tell me your dreams!
It inspires a more unique conversation, I’d say
and helps BOTH of us have a much brighter day.

You see, everything happens because of how we are feeling.
You know that positive emotions all inspire healing.
Let the next words you speak be of happiness and hope
And not about how you’re worried you won’t cope.

There’s one important piece of advice I’d like to impart,
to let the power of the universe be called through your heart.
Whatever you are wanting, relax your mind and allow
yourself to feel it as if you already have it right now.

No longer speak of the bad stuff, but let the good memories remain.
When you live like this, things will never be the same.
Our future hopes and dreams still keep calling us home,
for the very best part of life, is yet to come.

I TRUST

I TRUST MY FEELINGS COMPLETELY!

If something feels “off” I know it.
If something feels ordinary, I don’t bother with it.
If something feels good, I go for it.

What other people are doing becomes irrelevant.

The quality of my life is based on how well I listen to my own guidance,
not on evaluating what others are doing with theirs!

I Create My Magnificent Life

I KNOW THAT I’M EXACTLY WHERE I NEED TO BE … and that it’s the perfect place from which to choose another new adventure or continue the one I’m already enjoying.

I AM THOUGHTFUL … of what I allow to soak into my mind. I reach for the most loving thoughts I can find. I am careful of the words that escape from my lips and I delight in spreading good news where ever I go.

I AM AWARE … that the entire universe is always bringing me cooperative people and circumstances that show me the most active thoughts vibrating through my energy field, even though it may not be apparent at the time.

I UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPT … all people, all lifestyles, all choices, all religions, all beliefs and especially all of myself and know that each of us are doing the best we know how in every given moment.

I UNDERSTAND … that all emotions, all thoughts, all words, all deeds, all natural disasters, all world events are part of the whole and know that each situation gives me the perfect opportunity to decide what I prefer to focus on, find solutions for, make bigger or create more of.

I ALIGN MYSELF … with love, with happiness, with joy, with peace, with fun, (with any good feeling stuff) and with appreciation for “all that is”. In doing this, I effortlessly add even more value to the world … by just being me.

I USE MY MIND INTENTIONALLY … to focus on the good in myself, the best qualities in others and the greatest benefit in every situation.

I THRIVE ON BEING INVOLVED IN UPLIFTING CONVERSATIONS … that increase my life force, not draw energy away from it.

I FIND RELIEF IN ANY WAY I CAN … with no judgment about what is right or wrong, better or worse, good or bad and understand that it’s the “guilt” which keeps me stuck in a never-ending loop of pain, suffering and addiction. I chose to let go of guilt and enjoy my fucking life!

I THANKFULLY ACCEPT AND RECEIVE SUPPORT … on all levels, physical, emotional, mental, financial and spiritual … without having to work hard, without needing to strive, without defining a plan, without forcing an outcome … I simply notice how much I’ve already been given, spend as much time as I can in I deep appreciation of them and allow even more good things to come into my life.

I FIND THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE TO BE PROFOUNDLY VALUABLE … the smell of freshly baked bread, the taste of the finest quality fudge, the sound of children laughing, the sight of two lovers connecting on the deepest level, the feeling of love inside my heart … and I allow plenty of space for delightful luxuries to nurture my material desires as well.

I DO WHATEVER FEELS RIGHT FOR ME … and no longer need other peoples approval, permission or understanding for anything. I’ve stopped explaining or justifying who I am, what I’m doing & where I am at and just quietly and happily live the life of my dreams.

I GO TO SLEEP PEACEFULLY … imagining happy things, uplifting things, pleasant things, beautiful things and wake up feeling refreshed with a smile of deep gratitude, simply for the gift of enjoying yet another day on this amazing planet.

I TRUST MY OWN INNER GUIDANCE … to lead me towards the light, to give me relief, to help me feel better, to answer my questions, to solve my problems, to fill me with passion, to show me real love and to provide eternal options for me to take, whenever I’m inspired to do so.

I ALLOW YOU THE SPACE TO BE WHO YOU ARE TOO … and encourage you to follow your own inner knowing. To feel in your heart if something is good, to sense in your soul if something is right … NOT to listen to what I or others might think is appropriate … and to always remember that YOU are the best boss, the clearest teacher, the most insightful guru and the truly magnificent creator of your own life.

I create my magnificent life and you are the master of yours too.

I’ve Had Help

The quality, ease and luxury of my life far exceeds anything I could have ever achieved alone.

For every time I didn’t know how I’d pay the bills, for every bout of depression that caused me to refocus, for every business idea that failed, for every relationship that made me reach for something better, for every person who gave me grief – I thank you!

You made me resourceful, you made me grow, you made me stronger, you made me take better care of myself, you made me want to live a richer life, you made me learn how to REALLY love, you made me find something far more sustainable and fulfilling, than winning the lottery could ever do.

You propelled me so much quicker, to where I was heading in the first place.
