LEAVE YOUR WORRIES BEHIND

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  How great it is to be on vacation.  Being on vacation gets you away from your normal routine and changes your focus completely.  The day to day worries seem to vanish but eventually we return back to our lives and back to our daily stresses.  

The New Moon reminds us that we don't need to live in a constant state of worry and when we write down all the things we want in our lives.  Worry is not one of them.  In fact worrying about anything makes you worry more.

Today's quote is, "Worrying about what you don't want almost guarantees its arrival."  We put so much emphasis on the negative because its so easy or is it because we don't want to set ourselves up for failure.  Before you even utter the words "I knew I would never get ......"  your thoughts are reverberating throughout the Universe.  

It is the same with worrying.  Although worrying is a low vibration it is awfully loud and the thing about worrying is that you can worry about absolutely anything.  Aside from bringing about more worry it will also bring about the very thing you do not want to happen.  Is it hard to change your thought patterns?  You bet it s.  It takes work and work takes commitment.

Commit to yourself and leave your inner Chicken Little behind.  Trust that the sky will always be above you and will never ever fall.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

YOU ARE HERE

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  The Spiritual Guru, (although I'm sure he wouldn't want to be called that) Ram Dass wrote a well received book entitled Be Here Now.  I love that title because it makes you pause.  It makes you wonder if you are really here.  Right now.  In this very moment.  Distractions are all around us but are mostly inside our heads.  We can be cooking dinner and thinking about the box that needs to be mailed tomorrow.  

Today's quote is, "We can't be anywhere but in this moment."  The truth is we can be anywhere but in this moment so why rush it?  Why take the pleasure away from enjoying yourself  in the now and not  thinking about everything from your lunch that's two hours away to your beach vacation in a month.  

We live in a time when everything is so rushed but you don't have to jump on that bandwagon.  Learn to swim at your own pace.  We forget to enjoy the small things life has to offer but we can only enjoy them if we stop to pause.  Be excited for your beach vacation but be just as excited for a this very moment!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

FEAR NOT

Good morning everyone.  Happy Tuesday.  Which state do you live in?  I'm not talking about New York, New Jersey or Connecticut.  I'm talking about your state of mind.  Are you pleased with where you are at this moment or are you thinking there must be more?  Are you bored in your current situation?  Do you find yourself dreaming and visualizing yourself wearing a different hat so to speak?

That's actually a good thing.  The first step in creating change happens because we are bored.  Living on the edge and being excited every second of the day is not what I mean.  When our current situations leave us feeling as though we are stranded on a desert island with nothing to drink is when we know we have to get creative.

That feeling can also lead to fear and anxiety.  How can we just walk away from a comfortable situation?  The negative what ifs start screaming in our heads but the flip side of that is the positive what ifs that also speak to you.

Today's quote is, "Finding your passion requires you to first live in boredom - anxiety - fear and the most uncomfortable of emotions."  If you are about to jump off a cliff I would be scared too but know there is a parachute above you.  Life is too short to be unhappy and unsatisfied.  Sometimes we need to just jump as scary as that may be. 

Trust that divine timing is a real thing and that your loving angels and guides will be there to catch you!

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! Love, Amy

TIME TO RISE

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.  Sadness is a very heavy emotion.  It weighs us down as if we are wearing lead bracelets around our ankles. Sinking feels as though it is actually easier than putting one foot in front of the other.  When we are at our saddest, lowest and most miserable, we can either stay there or do what we can to climb our way out of it.

Today's quote is, "When we plunge so low into the depths of sorrow there is nothing left to do but rise."  We all experience sadness and its ok to be there but not to live there.  Its not ok to deprive yourself of joy.  Things happen in life that we never planned for.  Things happen in life that shake us to our core.  Some of these events are responsible for causing pain and sorrow in our lives and a river of tears that never seem to end.

Be in that sadness as long as it takes but know that happiness will find its way once again however long it takes.  

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! ~Love, Amy

RELEASE THE TREND

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  We are all familiar with the basic rules of life.  Don't steal, cheat or kill.  The rules that aren't universal are the ones that are relegated to our individual families.  Clean your room on Tuesdays, no TV watching until after dinner, etc.  As adults we choose which rules to extend to our own families and which ones to leave out.  

What we also pass down from generation to generation are not only rules but a mind set.  That's a tough one to shake and usually requires multiple therapy sessions.  If you have grown up hearing "you can't" more than you can, chances are these words are stuck in your mind like gum on the bottom of a shoe.  

Today's quote is, "The one who told you you can't was told way before you."  Did  you ever stop to think that maybe you weren't the only ones who heard this perennial chorus of negativity?  How many times have you heard the words of your parents come straight out of your mouth as if you had no control over them.  

There is a tendency to repeat what we despised.  Instead of anger, try to be more understanding.  Those words so easily formed on your lips were said to your parents and I can guarantee they weren't happy hearing them either.  

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone! ~Love, Amy

OPPORTUNITY IN A DISASTER

Good morning all!  Happy Thursday.  The days when nothing goes right are manageable.  We might not like them but we know there will be a new one tomorrow. Its when they turn into weeks and months that we begin to lose our grip finding it difficult to keep that upper lip stiff.  

What are we doing wrong?  Why does nothing seem to work out?  Is it because our approach hasn't changed nor has our point of view or the lens in which we see?  Maybe!  Today's quote is, "When it all comes crashing down - when it all feels as though everything is falling apart - this can also be the moment of opportunity."

When we are at our lowest from experiencing disaster after disaster it is hard to expect anything else.  When we are in total darkness it is difficult to find the light switch but its there.  Opportunity doesn't always come knocking.  Wouldn't it be great if it did?  We have to look for it and be open minded.  

How can we turn bitter into sweet.  How can we make lemonade out of those lemons?  That my friends is your job.  Your mind is an amazing tool.  Use your creativity and your imagination when that is all you have.  The things that you can do will not only amaze you but truly are amazing!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!~Love, Amy

UNITE YOURSELF

 Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday.  The word I, refers to one.  One person.  Only one.  BUT aren't we more than just I?  We are nurturers and caregivers.  We are rule followers and rule makers.  In each one of those roles we act in a different way.  While we are busy in the world around us taking care of everyone from bosses to co-workers to family and friends who takes care of us?  That is a job for the one and only I!

Today's quote is, "Tend to the flock of each of yourselves - work together to make you one and make you whole."  Flock refers to a large number but we don't realize all the things we accomplish in a day.  Even on those days when we do nothing, do we really do nothing?  There is always something to do.  An errand to run, a meal to prepare, an email to send and let us not forget the unexpected events that always seem to need immediate attention.  

Find the time to nurture yourself.  Take a walk.  Prepare a nice breakfast and eat it on the good dishes.  Indulge in a Netflix series. Read that book in your comfortable chair.  Do something that will bring yourself back to yourself and to being whole. 

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!~Love, Amy
