Today is a brand new day. Can you sense the hidden potential that it holds? It is there, waiting to be activated.
Today is a day of new choices. Yes, you can continue to make the same choices that you usually make, and to think the same thoughts that you usually think. Most people do.
But I’m sure you realise this will most likely result in a day like every other.
The same feelings…
The same patterns…
The same behaviour…
The same day as yesterday.
Imagine going through life this way…
But if we stop for a moment, be still and contemplate a little on this new day, we will see there are new possibilities. There always are, but we rush past them in our hurry to do the things that we have decided we need or want to do.
But pause with me for just a few moments… Take 2 minutes to relax your body, and breathe. Take a few gentle but deep breaths, and say to yourself:
“I am open to something new today. I will approach things differently today. I will go more slowly, be more gentle with people, and pay more attention to the subtle things that I usually ignore…”
Each day is full of a profound richness that most people overlook, because they are either too busy hurrying to get things done, or they are too distracted by their own inner dialogue, inner desires, and inner restlessness.
Take this moment with me to invite a feeling of calmness into your system. It will help you tune into the hidden dimensions that are always present around us, but usually overlooked.
Let your muscles relax, and appreciate the simple gift of breathing, just for a minute or two. Don’t think about what is next in your day, but instead connect to your body. How does it feel when you relax it? Is there tension or anxiety that you can let go of right now? Just let your precious body have your full attention for a minute or two. It really enjoys it.
And again say out loud, or quietly “I am open to new things today. I want to notice more, feel more, connect more. Please help me to savour this special day.”
Each day is a gift full of potential. Unexpected realizations can come. A chance meeting or connection lifts our heart and reminds us that we are designed to share love and kindness with others.
This fact alone adds a new dimension to what we do during the day. Who can we be kind to? Who can we be more open with, and go beyond the usual superficial exchanges? Who can we be vulnerable with?
The more beautiful hidden dimensions of this day are here, waiting to be accessed and activated by you. So go more slowly, be more careful, and pay more attention to everything you do, and everyone you interact with. Bring a softer energy to it all, and say thank you for all the many gifts that you might usually take for granted.
You hold the key to a deeper and more enriching experience, and you have angels surrounding and helping you. Talk to them and ask to feel their light around you.
Instead of aiming for a productive day today, aim for a more gentle and loving day. Aim for a day where you realise that love is the underlying purpose of your presence here. Once we activate this realisation, through the choices that we make, then life reveals something truly magical to us.
Life is working with us, for the purposes of love. Life wants to nourish your heart, and remind you of the loving dimension that you can connect to through it.
The reality of love awaits us on each new day, and if we want to see it, feel it and experience it, we can. Breathe deeply and invite a slower, more careful and gentler energy into your body right now. Let this energy guide you through your new day, which is meant as a gift for you to enjoy…
