Mystic Messages

Dear Ones,

Today is the day that you can start a new life.  Every day is one in which you can begin anew.  Whatever was bothering you yesterday is in the past – make new choices today.

Do you feel that way when you wake up in the morning?  If you start your day focused on what is wrong with your life or what you don’t have, then you are gathering in the stale energy of yesterday and coloring your day with that staleness.  Train yourself to have as a first thought each morning that you have much to be grateful for in your life.  Think of something that makes you smile.  Look at your new day through the lens of gratitude that you woke up!

Too many people are stuck in the ruts of their own making, lamenting the fact that life is so hard for them.  They are choosing to be victims when there is no success that blossoms out of victimhood.  If this describes how you have been in the past, make a decision to choose differently tomorrow when you wake up.  You do not have to be the victim of the circumstances of your life, but you do have to be conscious that you are constantly making choices.  If you feel put upon or filled with suffering then you are missing what is good around you and in you.  Find one thing, that’s all it takes.  Find one thing for which you can be grateful.  It can be as simple as a friend or family member who loves you.  It can be a pet’s presence in your home.  It can be that you have food to eat for breakfast.  Find that one thing, and your whole day will be colored with The Light.

Model this behavior for others.  Find something positive no matter what is going on around you.  Start playing the ‘At least…’ game.  What can you find to say to contrast doom and gloom and victimhood when it feels as if you are surrounded by it?  ‘At least the sun came up this morning.’  ‘At least both of my feet are working as I step out of bed.’  ‘At least we’ll have a great story to tell our friends after this is all over.’

Teach your children the ‘At least…’ game.  Make it fun.  Play this with your friends.  See what you can find to say ‘At least…’ about.  This creates an amazing energy of looking for something good to be grateful for.  And Like Attracts Like.  If you put some energy into gratitude, you will attract more things to be grateful for.  If you can find something positive you will energize and attract more positive things into your life.

It’s never too late to change your ways.  Start with how you think about your day from the first moment you are awake.  Go to bed with gratitude for the day just ending and look forward to waking up to positive thoughts in the morning.  The more you practice this, the more you will want to live your life this way.  When you greet people with the smile on your face that this positive thinking will produce, you will find that they respond positively to you.  If they are grumpy then acknowledge that maybe they are having a bad day and allow them the space to be where they are.  That kind of response is not about you.  Be generous enough to give people their own energies, their own feelings.  But be sure that you do now allow yourself to be dragged into grumpiness because someone around you is having a bad day.  Maintain your positivity.

Keep a Positivity Journal.  Record positive thoughts – no complaints allowed!  You might have heard of a Gratitude Journal.  This goes beyond gratitude but certainly feeling gratitude is positive!  Use this journal when you are feeling low to boost your thoughts back into the higher vibration of positivity.  Don’t forget to be lighthearted – sometimes all it takes is a small chuckle and you can dispel negativity.  Try this for this week, and see how you feel after a week of being Positive!

And so it is.
