by Louise L Hay: Dear Ones,I keep two of my favorite books by my bed that I enjoy reading every day. One is A Deep Breath of Life  by Alan Cohen…

There is an inspirational message in it for each day of the year. When I first opened this book, I read each message on the designated day from January 1st to December 31st. Now, I just open it and read the message that is meant for me on that particular day.

When I met Alan, I discovered that there’s a gentle, inner warmth to him, and he looks at life in a kind and loving way. You can feel his serenity and peace as you read his words:

“Consider this book a hand to hold as you scale the mountain of your destiny. In just a few minutes each day, you can step back from your worldly activity and draw a deep breath of spiritual renewal.”

The other book I read each day is Heart Thoughts. I adore this book! It gives us guidance for all aspects of our day-to-day experiences and assists us in particular areas where we may be having difficulty.

You do not have to read the whole Heart Thoughts book. Once or twice a day, just pick it up and see what message it has for you. And if you get the same message several days in a row, you’ll know that the message is very important for you.

Your heart is the center of your power. I have learned that you can create easily and effortlessly when you let your thoughts come from the loving space of your heart.

Let’s affirm: I claim my power now. Life is always there for me.

 Here are three Heart Thoughts  I’d like to share with you today: 

1. I Am Free to Be Me 

Don’t swallow your anger and have it settle in your body. When you get upset, give yourself a physical release. There are several methods you can use to release these feelings in positive ways. You can scream in the car with the windows closed. You can beat your bed or kick pillows. You can make noise and say all the things you want to say. You can scream into a pillow. You can run around a track, or play a game like tennis to release the energy. Beat the bed or kick pillows at least once a week, whether you feel angry or not . . . just to release those physical tensions you store in your body!

2. I Create Wonderful New Beliefs about Myself 

These are some of the beliefs that can really help you in your life if you think or say them every day: 

I am always safe.

Everything I need to know is revealed to me.

Everything I need comes to me in the perfect time/space sequence.

Life is a joy and filled with love.

I prosper wherever I turn.

I am willing to change and to grow.

All is well in my world.

3. It’s Only a Thought and a Thought Can Be Changed

How many times have you refused to think a positive thought about yourself? Well, you can refuse to think negative thoughts about yourself, too. People say, “I can’t stop thinking a thought.” Yes, you can!

You have to make up your mind that it’s what you’re going to do. You don’t have to fight your thoughts when you want to change things. When that negative voice comes up, you can say, “Thank you for sharing, and I’m choosing to do something else. I don’t want to buy into that anymore, I want to create another way of thinking.”

Don’t fight your thoughts. Acknowledge them and go beyond them.
