I don’t need everyone to like me. I've decided that I like me.

Having permission to like yourself as you are might seem like a simple thing to want.

But it gets more complicated once we include the opinions of others.

If you are looking for one good habit to add to your life, try meditating regularly.

You’ll benefit in more ways than you might imagine from a daily meditation habit. A grounded meditation practice will help you to know who you are and where you are. If your daily routine has you going non-stop, while fueling yourself on caffeine, stress, guilt, worry, or some other toxic energy, your body and health will suffer.

You'll lose energy by treating yourself this way, and may find yourself in an ongoing state of fatigue. This will make it more difficult for you to create what you want.

Do you see your body as a ‘frienemy’?

You may have believed a lie about your body. Perhaps the lie is that it’s flawed, too thin, too fat, or just not right somehow. You may not fit into the perfect ideal presented constantly in our culture, everywhere you look. You may believe that your body is wrong, and so you fight with it, every day.

You may believe that the spirit is superior to the body, and so you leave your body to fend for itself, without listening to its cries for attention.

Are you the one who defines your prosperity?

Prosperity is a spiritual energy, one that you can decide for yourself. What you create with your spirit, leads into the rest of your life. When you work consciously on creating your pictures of what prosperity means to you, instead of adopting other people’s opinions, fears, and beliefs, you’ll be less affected by the highs and lows of the marketplace.

When you face yourself, look honestly within, and decide what is true for you, it becomes easier to create what you want.

A daily practice is an awareness tool that helps you focus your energy more consciously.

Where you put your energy is where you create. Having a daily practice for yourself makes it possible for you to aim and place your energy where you want it, instead of where you don't. Your daily practice can help you to achieve your goals by redirecting the unconscious actions and habits that scatter you and leave you feeling unfocused and ungrounded.

It’s your spirit that makes it possible for you to stand out, and be uniquely you.

If you thought it was the attention from others that made you stand out and be seen – as in how many fans you have, and how popular you are, you may want to check again. Your popularity in the outside world can be very separate from the truth of who you are, deep within.

There’s no other like you, you are one of a kind – and when you find the courage to be the unique you that you are, you can create your true life.

Energy is a language you were born knowing how to speak.

The language of energy is one we all know, though each of us might have a different way of understanding what it means.

Each person has a unique perspective and experience. I have a different way of feeling, seeing, or knowing energy than you. It’s pointless to try to prove energy to anyone else, because of this uniqueness.

Trying to prove energy to someone is like trying to prove what you feel.

Sometimes we humans are excellent at making things seem harder than those things need to be.

One reason we do this is because we’re trying to control the situation, perhaps so others won’t compete with us? Our big show of effort becomes a sleight of hand, designed to throw others off our trail.

If it looks that hard to do, will you even try? Do you believe you’re worthy to give it a try at all? What if you fail? Can you embrace non effort?

It’s that time again. You’d think I’d be used to this by now, but I’m still hitting that old familiar resistance.

Big time change is here, again, and though I’m welcoming this one, it’s a bit nerve wracking. I know that if I allow myself to roll with it, it will get easier. Still, part of me is fighting letting go of the old identity I’ve been hauling around.

The transformation is here to give me more space and freedom to be exactly who I am. The demands I’ve placed upon myself to make sense and be responsible, are falling away. Yet part of me resists.
