This coming week is going to be an interesting one. If the last two weeks have been a roller coaster for you, this one has the potential to be a doozy. If you have taken the time to go inward and do some work, things should become more clear and focused.
Regardless of where you are, be kind to yourself, knowing that you are where you need to be.
Things to be mindful of this week:
*Things happen for a reason, and even repeated lessons have their place. Learn from them, allow them to inspire rather than anger.
*Narrow your focus. Instead of trying to accomplish an entire list, choose one or two things to go more in depth with.
*Acknowledge the miracles and joys in your life. Do this as often as you think of it. I love to light a white candle as I’m working and every time I glance at it, I send up a prayer of gratitude for the wonderful things in my life. By the time the candle has burnt out, I have gone through quite a list!
*Expect the best. Expect miracles. Expect joy, love, laughter… In other words, focus on what you want, on what brings you happiness. Things will sort themselves out, and if not, this practice will help you clear your mind and heart enough to fix them yourself.
*Step into your power. Stop denying who you are. We all have a gift to bring to this world. Your gift is more important than you know, and you inspire people you may never meet. Step into the light, and live authentically.
For this week’s reading, I am using Colette Baron-Reid’s Spirit Animal Oracle
10 February – Sunday, 63 – Vulture Spirit (Nothing is wasted) Sometimes we have to revisit life’s lessons to deepen understanding. Taking a step back isn’t wasted time, it’s reinforcing the lesson. Allow your frustration to become the fire of inspiration, guided by the Divine, which gets you back on track.
11 February – Monday, 24 – Electric Eel Spirit (Bring your ideas to life) Sit for a moment and think about what inspires you and makes your heart sing. What can you create in your life from those ideas? Make a list, and narrow your focus to one or two things you can begin working on. See where they take you.
12 February – Tuesday, 15 – Cow Spirit (The miracles are endless) Challenges can often leave us feeling frustrated and defeated, especially when we feel we’ve fallen back into old habits. Today, look around you & truly see what’s there. Acknowledging the miracles you see, and welcome more. There is no end to miracles.
13 February – Wednesday, 51 – Sandpiper Spirit (Be playful) Bring some lighthearted magic into your day today. Play happy music, sing, dance…whatever seems right in the moment. Pull from yesterday’s miracle-watching and see through the eyes of a child. By expecting magic, you will see the magic around you.
14 February – Thursday, 58 – Stag Spirit (Take the lead) Stop denying the leader inside you. You have always had the ability, now you simply need to take that leap of faith and believe in yourself. Leadership is about inspiring others, not simply telling them what to do. Walk the talk, live by example.
15 February – Friday, 12 – Skunk Spirit (Know your worth) Why do you hide your light? Why do you keep comparing yourself with others? Look in the mirror and truly see the beautiful spirit that lives within. You are amazing, glorious. Look back at how far you’ve come, and celebrate that. Value yourself, and others will see your worth.
16 February – Saturday, 12 – Canary Spirit (Sing your own song) Our society praises false modesty. This is simply a tool to keep us from shining as brightly as we are meant to. You know, deep inside, how wonderful you are, and it is time the world knew it, too. Be yourself, express yours individuality, live authentically.
