New Possibilities

I am moving into a new year with new possibilities.

Everyone I know is moving into a year with new possibilities.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is moving into a new year with new possibilities.

————-
This past year, I have gained so many new skills and techniques, I have an entirely new view of my life and its possibilities.

In addition to exploring homesteading skills, which I enjoyed very much, I learned therapeutic skills for self-care.

I feel more self-sufficient in terms of earth stewardship and also able to control my reactions to triggering experiences.

All of this is enabling me to consolidate to use my skills for my true purpose.

I am able to change my direction and to utilize my skills in a new way with more outreach.

My concentration is more focused and I am determined not to be distracted so much, even in pleasant ways.

By keeping my goal of service foremost, I am able to do what I love and to share it in an uplifting and inspirational way.

The possibilities that are offered to me will enable many more people to be affected in positive ways.

I am delighted to have gained the skills and lessons in order to share my higher view of life.

The sense of direction and purpose is profound.

Everything I need in order to accomplish this is appearing, often in surprising ways.

Even though it looks like I am approaching my goals from a completely different direction, it is enabling greater unity within and greater outreach without.

I am assured and energized with the new possibilities through Guidance.

Being involved in new possibilities is so life-giving and affirming.

Harmony In Old Surroundings

I am finding harmony in old surroundings.

Everyone I know is finding harmony in old surroundings

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is finding harmony in old surroundings.

——————-
Despite being in old surroundings, I am able to respond with my new definition of myself.

In a new setting, I discovered who I am without the old tensions and pressures.

I am able to keep my new, authentic view of myself even though I remember the old sensations.

As I come into old settings, I take a moment to reestablish myself.

I had enough time, a period of a couple of years, to experience and practice my new found authenticity, to establish it.

My new definition is so clear, I am able to experience it even in old settings.

People recognize me, but I feel completely different.

I respond differently, with more confidence and humor.

The long-term causes for the old depression and anxiety have been dealt with and I am a free woman.

I am amazed to be able to be able to have a completely difference experience where I used to be so hurt.

I am appreciated for my creativity, which apparently showed through even with my old anxiety.

I am recognized and given a place, literally, at the quilting table.

I am looking forward to touching base with the other  wonderful artistic crafting friends who made me feel as though I had first found my home.

When the grit is removed from the shoe, a person can walk in comfort.

Now that the grit of the past has been dealt with, I too, can feel comfortable, even in old surroundings.

The Right to Be Calm

I have discovered my right to be calm.

Everyone I know has discovered their right to be calm.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, has discovered their right to be calm.

—————————

Discovering a way to be calm has been a huge gain for me.

I have learned a series of techniques to deal with panic attacks, and these have become so habitual, I reference them only rarely.

I have a right to be calm.

The habit of having to regain my balance was developed very young.

Now that I no longer live in those circumstances, I have had to lean a different way to live.

The first thing I explored, was discovering and doing what I love to do.

I also explored friendships and found enduring congenial company.

I positioned myself into beautiful surroundings as well.

I can now operate calmly even in old surroundings, a true gain for me.

I love the balance I have found which lets me live happily and well.

I am able to relate old habits and old possessions which no longer serve me.

I am able to move forward more much freely and I can make good decision from a calm basis.

It is my right to be calm and I know how to maintain it for myself.

Changing Circumstances

I accept guidance during changing circumstances.

Everyone I know accepts guidance during changing circumstances.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, accepts guidance during changing circumstances.

——————-
When things do not go as expected, I can trust the guidance that got me started on a new adventure.

I can continue to listen and to make the best decisions possible.

These will lead me to each new best step and I will see success as i continue.

Even a small step forward gives a slightly higher view.

I can take many small steps until I see a complete picture.

The deep guidance continues through small and large steps.

My vision is completed as long as I continue the process.

I know I am moving in sure and certain ways as i accept the guidance.

There is continuity from the first impulse through all the steps to their conclusion.

I can make intelligent adjustments through all the changes.

I am always in a safe and uplifting place as I continue to listen.

I feel my peace within and it creates a peaceful atmosphere around me.

My decisions are well-timed and place me where I need to be.

I am happy and satisfied with my decisions.

I stand my ground and work from where I am now.

It is a good opportunity to move forward and I can do so with trust and certainty.

The Context of Community

The context of community supports me.

The context of community supports everyone I know.

The context of community supports everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet.

—————-
There is a perfect fit between each one of us and our true community.

We may try out many different situations until we find the right one.

Each setting up to that point is contributing something we need to know.

We may build certain skills in different communities until they all come together to create a meaningful whole.

When we have found what we love and what means something to us, we are able to fulfill a satisfying role.

Then we will find the community which is a good fit for each one of us.

We will have the skills and attitude which make us welcome.

Our character will make sense to those around us.

Our purpose will be able to be fulfilled.

We will be seen in a positive light.

What we do will make a meaningful and positive contribution to the community.

Friendships will result.

We will find ourselves supported in ways which are important to us.

That community exists for each one of us.

We have talents and skills and the ability to be a positive community member in the right place.

Today I Listen for Freedom

Today, I listen for the ideas which bring me freedom.

Today, everyone I know listens for the ideas which bring them freedom.

Today, everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, listens for the ideas which bring them freedom

—————-
Freedom is a constant for those who learn to listen within.

In the calm, within, it is always possible to hear the next step or be told to wait.

Trusting intuition is freedom.

It is a source that is always ready.

Sometimes I receive ideas for a project.

Sometimes I receive ideas which comfort.

Sometimes I receive ideas which simply reroute me through traffic.

All kinds of positive ideas are freeing.

Living in freedom is very practical.

It is freedom to release ideas which are no longer useful.

It is freedom to be able to trust the next step.

It is freedom to enjoy where you are.

It is freedom to look forward to a new adventure.

The ideas which show up at the right time are the ones which create freedom.

Big ideas which occur to lots of people have the freedom and power of group acceptance.

Little ideas which enable one person to connect at the right time may create a cascade of freedom.

You may be part of a big idea or a little idea.

They are all bringing freedom.

Peace and Happiness

I take a deep breath and fill my being with peace and happiness.

Everyone I know takes a deep breath and fills their being with peace and happiness.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, takes a deep breaths and fills their being with peace and happiness.

————

It is so wonderful to see evidence of peace and happiness all around us.

Sometimes it feels like a long time period of stressful effort before peace and happiness can be felt.

It is always worth striving through the work of expanding peace and happiness.

It is never enough to find it for just ourselves, although that is a worthy start.

Peace and happiness must overflow to be fully useful.

Otherwise, we are like a sieve, receiving and then sharing, without ever filling ourselves up.

We must be fully secure in our peace and happiness so that when we share it, we do not run out.

This is the opposite of greed, because we can never hoard the Infinite.

Finding peace and happiness through an Infinite Source is how we can share it consistently.

Our peace and happiness is not based on things, although what we need will always appear as we learn how to find it in the Infinite.

As I have learned how to give more through service, many more ways have opened up for me.

They continue to open up for me in ways that I love.

I am able to express my ideas in beautiful, tangible ways which draw others in.

As we fill ourselves up from the Infinite Source, our peace and happiness continue to expand into a wider expression.

Listen for Direction

I listen for direction and notice what appears.

Everyone I know listens for direction and notices what appears.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, listens for direction and notices what appears.

———-

As I make plants to carry out the next step, I notice what does and what does not appear.

Even though I have an opinion, if things do not go in that direction, I realize that I must listen more deeply.

When a consistent direction appears, even though it is not the one I had in mind, I know that it is the one I am being directed to follow.

The steps are taken with ease, when I am willing to be in harmony with the direction and guidance which comes to me.

It is okay for a path to be easy.

It is just fine for a direction and resources to be available without fear or fighting for them.

It is all right for things to gently open up and appear and for us to take steps in that direction.

A clear path may be seen as we habitually practice listening.

As we become better at removing the obstacles in our mind, action based on our limited knowledge, we become more efficient at finding our way.

Being willing to receive direction and to take action is the best way of moving forward.

I am willing for it to be easy to listen and then to act.

Remaining Calm

I take my first deep breath of calm and remember that there is room for good for everyone.

I take my second deep breath of calm and remember that everyone I know sees that there is room for good for everyone.

I take my third deep breath of calm and remember that everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, sees that there is room for good for everyone.

———
As I watch the heightening frenzy, I feel the deep calm within.

I know that the ability to emotionalize seems very powerful indeed.

It is a kind of drunkenness, an addiction.

Those who respond to the addiction are losing command of themselves and their best interests, as in all cases of substance abuse.

We can continue holding the ground, not only for ourselves, but even for those who are vulnerable to this addiction.

It feels as though the perpetrators of the addiction, the “dealers”, are very powerful, indeed.

However, there is a deeper, more powerful influence than emotional addiction.

It is the calm security of the truth.

No matter what temporary highs are being handed out, over a much longer term, the calm truth will come to light and take its rightful place.

Hopefully, there is enough awareness now to counter the emotional addiction and other fraud being released.

As I take my deep breaths of calm, I feel the power of being in the right place at the right time.

Let us commit over and over to taking the action that our awareness tells us is good for everyone.

Let’s give respect, and upliftment and empowerment to everyone who holds good in their heart and in their vote for all members of our community.
