I am grateful to suspend all negative thoughts, all of them, every single last thought that cripples my ability to capture the peaceful whisper of the divine, I cast all that is negative and debilitating onto the divine within and I am free

I am grateful to love anyway, trust anyway, believe anyway and act faithfully anyway, I truly trust that all in my life is in divine right order for my highest good

I am grateful for my apartment and that I live alone

I am grateful for my ability to learn and collect information-there is so much to learn about and experience in life and I am grateful to be here and have the choice to experience it.

Right now at this very moment my strong intentions are creating a future that supports my highest good and the highest good of all who is involved

I am grateful for being alive at this very moment, I am alive and I am here. I woke up this morning and didn’t even have to think twice about where my next breath would come from, if my heart would pump its next beat, or if my legs would be strong enough to carry me forward…

I am grateful to be safe always and in all ways

I am grateful for just getting it…just getting that I need to start working harder on liking myself and not focus so much on validation from others

I am grateful for my apartment. I went home early last night and cleaned and just chilled with Poo..i was instantly reminded of how much I love living by myself, I am so grateful that I live by myself and have my own apartment to come home to

I am grateful to suspend all judgment and criticism of myself and others, it feels good to realize how criticizing and judging keeps you from loving yourself

I am grateful for bikram and how the entire practice is about the compression and expansion or release of your body. The thought is that you work hard for an honest 10 seconds in each posture, compressing to the maximum and then you release. I have to admit that the release is hard to handle, I feel dizzy, out of breath etc and all I want to do is move and get out of the room. These classes have been so instrumental in showing me how to use my breath to calm down during “the release”..the release can show up anywhere in your life, after a heated argument, a nerve wracking interview, after a blind date, etc…the release is where you need to stay the most still and let yourself regroup, and come back together.

I am grateful for the power of stillness. I love walking the streets of New York however, I despise people who CAN NOT WALK. I refer to those with walking impairments as the “bojanglers”. I have learned to stand completely still and let these people who cant discern their left from their right move all around me, trip, skip, fall whatever. But I stay still, I let their kinetic confusion dance and prance around me until they pass. There is no need for me to waste my precious energy trying to move around someone that is all over the place. Lately I have been trying to practice this idea of stillness when it comes to nasty or tumultuous thoughts. The thoughts come up, I want to react (reacting includes eating, complaining, bitching, crying and all other PMS like symptoms) but instead I stay still, let them pass and then get back to my life. Sometimes it works and sometimes I forget. Next time you are walking down the street and you come up against someone who wants to dance, just stand still let them move around you and see how that feels!!!!

I am grateful for my intention to practice detachment for the highest good of all concerned

I am grateful for faith and compassion

I am grateful to understand my idea of success. Not that there is anything wrong with money or wanting it cause I am not going to lie here, I love me some money. However, I am always leary of people who throw their money in your face. I met someone who has a very good job and can afford to purchase many luxurious items. Every time he would talk about his BMW or his furnished apartment he would throw in a quick “ow ya and its all paid in full”…and I was thinking what are you trying to prove….its obvious you have money. I wanted to ask him yes you have money and that’s impressive and somewhat attractive but WHO ARE YOU???????

I am grateful for detachment and releasing my expectations of how situations should be when really what the fug do I know!

I am grateful for my power, personal power

I am grateful for the intentions I hold dear to my heart and understanding that my power resides in my ability to hold those intentions, hold them and keep them close for what I desire is already here and born manifest through my targeted and purposeful intention!

I am grateful for unlimited potential

I am grateful that my source is the divine, no other human being but the divine

I am grateful to be flawed and accept that, I am grateful to realize that I am ready to accept myself as I am and share this person with the world

I am grateful to have a job that pays my bills and allows me to participate in activities that fill up my cup, that fill up my life and keep me satisfied

I am grateful to acknowledge that I fear being alone, I know these list should stay positive but I want to be honest, I down right fear living the rest of my life alone, and never truly finding someone that would want to share their life with me and vice versa. I am beginning to realize how precious relationships are, the people that know you exist, the people that take you with your moods, your crying, your mistakes and love you anyway. It makes me teary eyed to think that I have pushed relationships..all relationships away for so long…and how for so long I just wanted to be alone…i didn’t care and now my heart has flipped. I desire true warmth and tenderness, it makes me cry really to realize all that I have denied myself and now I don’t know where to begin, I affirm that my heart is open and that I am ready, willing and able but still at the same time I don’t know, I don’t understand. Is this just part of the process..is this part of opening up..is this progress?

I am grateful to release old thoughts, behaviors and beliefs towards love that block or inhibit my ability to stay open and aware of my highest good

I am grateful for the beginning stage of what could be a beautiful relationship, I am grateful to stay open and aware, deal with negativity that comes up and dive in. I am grateful to be alive and willing to participate in the ever exciting unfolding of relationships. I am grateful and willing to trust that my highest good and the good of all who is involved is being expressed under grace in flawless and perfect ways!

I am grateful for acceptance

I am grateful that I can trust that all situations work out for my highest good and for the highest good of all concerned

I am grateful now that all of my needs are provided for

I am grateful that God/the divine/the infinite is my source and fulfills all of my needs

I am grateful for the safe, easy and comfortable flights that I had from tampa to new york

I am grateful for love, I am grateful for maintaining and open and willing heart, I am grateful to cry when I need to when pain comes up, when I fear that I am too broken or too worn to keep going, I am grateful for those tears of release, I am grateful to always trust in love and that my ability to remain open is ever expanding and growing.

I am grateful to trust that I am lovable as I am and that people love me for who I am despite my many flaws

I am grateful for a place that I can call home

I am grateful for my breath, the one consistent thing that I can count on and refer to when things start spinning out of control

I am grateful for my power and my willingness to step into it

I am grateful for taking the risks that I have been taking lately and trusting that I can deal with and have been dealing with all of the feelings, the anxiety and the uneasiness that comes up, I can handle it

I am grateful for the friendships that I have cultivated that are teaching me that yes I can be loved despite my flaws, that relationships are about accepting people for who they are, accepting their limitations, support their dreams and loving them anyway

Today I am grateful!!!

I am grateful for the many realizations I have been having lately especially one that I experienced last night regarding rejection. I know that part of the reason why I have not followed my hearts desires is because I fear that I will be rejected, that I wont make it, that I wont be able to handle the success that I crave and fall flat on my face and fail to get up again. However, I realized yesterday that in fact I can and have handled rejection many, many times before in my life and that I am still here, still plugging away still taking in life supporting air. I have been texting with a guy that I have know for about 3 years WHO just never shows up, never follows through. We plan to get together and he cancels or just doesn’t call or whatever. Needless to say it is all very rejecting, I feel rejected when it happens, I question myself…am I pretty enough, thin enough, smart enough…blah blah blah. I am becoming very familiar with how I think when I am rejected. The even funnier point is that I know what I am going to get with this guy he behaves the same way every time we interact, I allow him to reject me, I practically run to him with open arms just to be rejected. I run to him and get rejected and yet I freeze when it comes time to take action towards my dreams because I fear rejection…..how does that make sense?

My point is that regardless of the feelings that come up…I HANDLE IT!!! Time and time again I handle the rejecting feelings and I move on. If I can do it with this guy then who says I cant apply that same resolve to my career, my dreams, my life? I can do it, I am stronger than I know. And because I am conscious, because I have started paying attention to the choices that I make every moment….the clarity of it all comes rushing at me and now I make changes, positive changes that serve me and the world.

I am grateful for letting go

I am grateful to live in reality to guard my every word, to listen to how I explain situations, to hear the exaggerations and the way that I tailor stories so that I can control the way that other people “hear” them. I am grateful to be dedicated to live in the truth that come hell or high water my intention is to speak the truth not to embellish stories or situations but to sit in the truth. It is becoming so clear how easy it is to use words to skirt around the truth of a situation just to impress someone else, or to try to influence how someone will interpret a situation….the truth is better, hard, cold reality is where changes take place. I am grateful for this insight, I am grateful to know that it is okay to speak the truth about my reality even if it wont be accepted or if someone else wont be impressed by it…….truth is like looking in the mirror at yourself, the mirror is not going to lie to you, the mirror is not thinking “ow shes gained 10pounds better shave that off her ass so she wont notice or get upset”…NOPE the truth is the truth and I am grateful to be able to not only see it but to accept it.

I am grateful to accept my fathers limitations, to release my expectations and to let him be who he is with loving acceptance

I am grateful for Damon another man in my life that keeps popping up and who I accept for who he is limitations and all, I accept him and allow him to be the best person he can be…..

I am grateful to feel so overwhelmed at the moment with love, my life is not perfect, there are many things I am changing and there are many moments when I feel like I need a punching bag…when I think back to who I was 5 or 6 years ago, when I think back to how stormy, depressing and hopeless I felt, I can see and feel that I have come a long way. I still have moments of despair, anger, frustration and complete chaos. There are still moments of overwhelm when the deep groves in my heart that were at one time flowing with sadness erupt…. but the point is that I get up every day and try again, start over again and intend to live again, maybe not all in one day but every day a little bit more….I am grateful for moments like this when I can see things clearly

I am grateful to allow myself to feel all of the things I want and desire. I have in the past been so afraid of success and so fearful to plunge ahead…and now I feel these desires…pulsing through my veins..i swear it is the weirdest thing in the world..to just feel these desires and to channel every last bit of myself into what is before me….

I am grateful to know for myself what success is and right now in this moment I choose success, right now in this moment my intention is on developing and nurturing this fire in my belly, right now all that I desire is, right now in this moment!!!!!
