“I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change”
-Michael Jackson
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
It all starts with you...
What do you believe needs to change in this world? The one thing you are passionate about that needs to change...
How are you showing up? Think about that for a minute...
No matter what it is, what's working, what's not working, what's going right, what's going wrong, understand the common denominator is you. I'm not talking about fault or blame. Those things may apply, but you are 100% responsible for the life you want to live. Iyanla Vanzant shares these words of wisdom: from the book, Until Today: Daily Devotions for Spiritual Growth and Peace of Mind
Once you can muster up enough courage to acknowledge your part in what happened...
If you want to do better today than you did yesterday, you simply must believe you deserve it.
...accept your past by using what you have learned to create a vivid picture of what you want and deserve.
Today’s Affirmation: (Consider standing in the mirror and sayin it out loud)
I will love myself, listen to myself and expect the best from myself and for myself!
If you’re looking for an instant stress reliever, something to immediately uplift your mood, I invite you to accept the challenge below>
Inspired by an excerpt from Gay Hendricks’ A Year of Conscious Living...
Today’s Challenge: Music is the answer...
Put a musical interlude into your day.
1. Select a song that makes you move... think about the one that always got you up and on the dance floor... the one that when you hear it, you can’t help but move...
2. Turn up the volume, let go, enjoy moving to the music
3. Notice how you feel after only ten..., twenty... thirty minutes...
#Letsgo !
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
– Bob Marley
What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity! Be intentional, encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
