Remember to keep talking to your body please...
Letting go of the need to be right is a big one! Wayne Dyer taught me that in one of his many books. WOULD YOU RATHER BE RIGHT, OR HAVE PEACE? I have that on lilac 3 x 5s with my own calligraphied handwriting, scattered around my house.
I also no longer need to have the last word. I can sit serenely and ponder instead.
I never stop talking to my body. When it starts to misbehave, and it does, I let it know in no uncertain terms exactly what I expect from it. THE BODY HEARS EVERYTHING WE THINK, OR WHISPER. I don't want to send wrong messages, as I obsess. So once I vent, I correct any and all possible mistaken communications for my body to hear. And, for the Universe to catch my drift.
I suggest we all try to keep our Intentions clear and Expectations firm. And so it will be...
I do believe this. It is my mantra...
Every thought is like a prayer. Every prayer has the power to become a miraculous reality.
Much love always,
