bodily love

The theme of today is self-love, particularly of the body. As we rapidly transition (at least, in the midwest!) from wintry weather to summer - many of us focus on our bodies. Evolutionarily speaking, bodies may pack on a few pounds during the winter months, because we need extra padding to keep warm! At least, this is how it works in the animal world, why shouldn't it also work this way for us!? :-) So, we join gyms, we diet, we scrutinize ourselves in our mirrors. But we're missing the point. It is high nigh time to LOVE ourselves, to LOVE our bodies, to APPRECIATE everything our bodies have given us. We should be so grateful for our beautiful, healthy bodies, and treat our bodies lovingly. Today, let us affirm to and about our bodies.

love

Everything that you are, everything that you see, everyone in your life - they are there, because you've attracted them, you've attracted your present situation, you've attracted your home, your job, your partner, your attitude, your everything. Affirm and be grateful, affirm and be grateful. Spread love and joy wherever you go. Be mindful and present. Nothing is unintentional. LOVE.

affirming into spring

I find it a lot easier to clearly see my dreams and more productively and peacefully work toward them  now that spring has reared its head. The sunshine and long walk has cleared my head and helped me cleanse, heal, and reset. With this new dawning, I am going to fervently assert who I am.

vision board

Again I stress, everything you see around you, everything that you are, every single circumstance of your life - you've created. You are the creator. You are the master of your own fate. Sure, karmic cycles can play into it, but the way that you respond to each situation and person in your life and the way you approach every situation and the way you monitor your thoughts affects your every waking reality. So, choose to be positive! Choose to experience positivity! Choose to create all that you desire! I say this as much for you as for me. Although I know these words to be gospel, it's difficult to continue to remember to implement them, day in, day out. It's easy to choose helplessness, to play the victim of the universe. But by doing so, nothing will happen! Stagnation will continue. Magic is only magic when you effect it. The law of attraction IS real, but does require positive action - at least positive action of thought! Have a great day everyone! Let's create our dreams. Make a vision board out of your refrigerator - post pictures, quotes, and words that define you, that you aspire you, etc. A physical law of attraction masterpiece.

monitor those thoughts!

Attract what you want. Attract what you don't want. Whatever you focus on, you attract. Wherever your thoughts roam, that's what you manifest. Whatever you believe you are, you are. Whatever you believe to be impossible, is. The Law of Attraction is the law of our existence. That is why we must return to reciting affirmations - even if you fall off the bandwagon! I do often - but I am determined to keep coming back to affirmations, with the knowledge that the gap between each fall becomes smaller and smaller as I become wiser. Keep at it!

find your healing medium

I may sound like a broken record when I comment on the healing power of music. Lately I've rediscovered this joy, through an act of divine intervention. I no longer have my car, and so I've begun walking to and from work. It's made such a difference - inhaling fresh, clean, crisp air, getting some exercise, and listening to some good tunes on the way. I realize everyone has their own source(s) of healing - whether that be music, art, running, writing, giving, etc etc! My coworker Allyson is an artist - and everytime she visits a new city, she makes it a priority to visit the local art museum. She decorates our desk area with cardboard boxes that she's used to create unique, interesting sculpture-shapes (on the spot), and really sees an artistic quality in the most seemingly mundane of things. That is one of her healing sources. I'm positive we each have endless healing sources to yet discover, and that is the joy of life.
