Because sometimes your brain just gets stuck...

for the brain -- “I am the loving operator in my mind.”

You have the immense power to control your thought. As the loving force behind the inner workings of your mind, you have the power to choose positivity over negativity, happiness over sadness, light over dark. It might not be easy, but when you choose love and operate from a place of truth, it becomes easier and easier to be filled with love and be filled with truth. You are powerful and remarkable and in control of your beautiful mind. It might feel overwhelming at first to be loving and kind but oh is this so important.

I invite you to try this. Guide your mind in a loving manner throughout your day. If something upsets you, turn inward and find something that excites you. Is there too much self-hate or negativity? Find gentle and kind words to soothe your soul. Look in the mirror and find five things that you love. Find five more. Try to love the parts you once hated.

Be present, be loving, and always be filled with hope.

Love, Approval, & Safety

for anxiety – “I love and approve of myself, and I trust the process of life. I am safe.”

Repeat this slowly to yourself, taking each word with a weighty curiosity. Place these words in your soul and see how you react. What do they mean to you? Mantras help us check in with ourselves, realize our hopes and dreams and aspirations, and shape our beautiful reality.

There is no one else you need to be at this moment. Trust yourself on this crazy and wild journey that is life. Let is absorb you and run through you and explode with passion and wonder. Know that the Divine has her plans all laid out, and you are safe and secure.

Believe and all will work out.

Mantra & Mindfulness ~ 9.9.14

“Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary.” –Uta Hagen

There is no point in being like everyone else. We are all meant to be individuals interacting with one another, bringing out each others greatness and extraordinary ability. We are not here to compare, criticize, or hate.We are here to flourish and soar and break new heights every single day, and allow others to do the same.

Just love and be at peace with those living their own practices... no biggie :- ).

Have a fabulous day my extraordinary followers.
