\"\"A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at. ~ Bruce Lee<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Greetings CowGirls and Tushakteers!<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0 Yes, I am still in Tucson (another two weeks of cactus bliss),<\/em> writing to you in Happy Chirping Bird mode.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I woke up late this morning (after 8 a.m. Tucson time\/11 a.m. Eastern time–OMG, can you imagine?)<\/em>!\u00a0 Waking up to the sounds of the birds chirping is an amazing gift from the _____\u00a0 (God(s), the Universe…fill in the blank in whatever resonates best for you).<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my half sleepy, blissed bird state, while still tuned into the chirping, I silently repeated ten affirmations (see below), with the intention of creating a very “present” day, as in being fully awake in the moment, in the now, truly taking in and appreciating each beautiful second, one at a time.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, I “get” Bruce Lee’s above quote.\u00a0 My goal may be to stay in the present moment, fully awake to the beauty, the miracles, the abundance that so clearly exists, but life is bound to come along and toss a twig or even a boulder in front of me and\/or my mind is likely to hijack my “now,” and drag me into some mental drama.\u00a0 So…I am going to aim for “total bliss,” and be thrilled with whatever happiness floats to the surface!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chew on that while you read through and either utilize these fabulous affirmations to start your day, or tweak them for a better “you” fit, or write your own!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

10 Morning Affirmations: Create a Day Overflowing with Love, Happiness and Positive Energy<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Today is a new day and each new day presents a fresh start.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Each new day offers a new beginning overflowing with possibility and opportunity.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Today, I greet the day with fresh eyes and new ideas.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Today, there is no past, there is no future; there is only this moment.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 In this Now, I give myself permission to release toxicity from every level of my energy field. <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Abundance flows through my day; an abundance of love, happiness and positive energy.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 This abundance, this positive energy allows me to step into my day, into my work, into my mission, into every word and action\u2014moment to moment. <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 I am focused, excited, energized and determined.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 I am creative.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 I am grateful, fully appreciating all the love in my life \u2013 the abundance.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
