Mind (Mental)   Body (Physical)   Heart (Emotional)   Soul (Spiritual)   
  Monday   Say "I take steps everyday to improve my life" ten times throughout the day.   Eat a piece of your favorite fruit and top it with Splenda, cinnamon, or peanut butter.   Think about one person or situation that makes you feel sad or angry. Then let it go and decide that only you canmake yourself feel a certain way.   Step outside for five minutes and be quiet and still. Just observe, listen, and heal.   
  Tuesday   Read an inspiring book or magazine for 5 minutes.   Do 5 minutes of any exercise (walking, yoga, jump roping, dancing).   Watch 30 minutes of a show or movie you find hysterical.   Take a pen and start writing about whatever comes to mind. Do that for 5 minutes. Don't go back and read what you wrote. Just surrender it.   
  Wednesday   Give someone a genuine compliment.   Lie down for 10 minutes and rest.   Find one of your old CDs of music that you really enjoyed and jam out to it.   Be generous by tipping someone well, donating a bag of old clothes, or volunteering your time, even if it's letting someone merge onto your lane of traffic.   
  Thursday   Write down 5 things you've been waiting to do. Then make a definitive plan to do one of them.   Buy floss and use it.   Talk from a positive perspective. Say "I can..." or "I am..."   Be creative. Use silly putty, paint, Legos, food, music, or whatever you desire to create a spontaneous work of art.   
  Friday   Say "yes" to a social engagement.   Eat a serving of your favorite vegetable. Add a little seasoning and savor every last bite.   Read a joke and share it with friends.   Recognize uncanny coincidences as synchronicity. Feel the power of Spirit when you notice the same phrase, number sequence, word, animal, or color, place, or name at least 3 times in a short span.   
  Saturday   Say "I only participate in activities that serve a higher purpose" ten times throughout the day.   Replace coffee with herbal tea or lemonade.   Relax yourself for 5 minutes. Ask your partner or a friend to give you a mini massage, do deep breathing, or bathe in sunlight.   Go green by picking up one piece of trash, recycling newspaper, using a canvas bag, or planting a tree.   
  Sunday   Complete 2 things on your to-do list and cross them off with a smile.   Stretch your body for 5 minutes.   Share a personal accomplishment with someone. Then say "Thank you" when he or she says what a great job you've done.   Take a meditative moon bath. Lie outside and allow yourself to be bathed by the light of the moon. Don't think or talk. Just receive.  
Even if you take one small step forward each day, you are still working toward something positive and healthy. Remember that steady progress creates the fulfilling life journey you desire and deserve.
If you are already doing one or more of the activities, such as flossing, then great! Find something else you can substitute that's easy, manageable and health-promoting, perhaps something you've been putting off for a while. The point is to make progress and evolve.

Affirmations: My holistic health is important to me. Even if I take only five minutes to better my life or somebody else's life every day, it is still five minutes more than what I've been doing. My mind, body, heart, and soul are in perfect, healthful balance. I create time and use my energy productively in order to think, feel, and act in the highest and best ways.

Manifesting Naturally (Cont.)

Manifesting Naturally - In 2 Easy Steps
Breathe out, expand The Universe. The Breath IS Life. Enjoy each moment naturally as you breathe in and out and know that you are the Alpha and the Omega; the beginning and end. The equation of all possibilities in everything, everywhere. Responsibility is the key in expanding your truth that you are in fact the creator of your experience at any given moment. The amount of responsibility that you accept is the exact amount of creation ability that you utilize for your experience. To be completely responsible for your experience is to know that, without a doubt, the free will that is inherent in the human condition is unconditional. You are free to do anything, be anything, and believe anything in any way it pleases you. That is your birthright. And with that freedom goes the right to reap the ramifications of all actions, so that you will be able to experience the results of your choices. We have been taught by a society that has learned and in turn teaches the path of constriction. That is why you have chosen to create barriers that frustrate and infuriate you as a motivation for you to learn what it is that you are not: Limited. You have created barriers in your life to discover your true potential and to remove those barriers that stifle the very essence of that which you are: Limitless! The very fact that you are reading these words is a testament to your relentless pursuit of the beliefs you have consistently questioned and tested so that you may find your own truth. There is only one truth - your truth - and in knowing that you come to realize that you must allow all others to live their own truth. Shine by the example of living your own truth, not by trying to convince others of your truth. Once responsibility is realized to it fullest ramifications then the limits you have in creating the desire are completely up to your level of acceptance of what you can create. When you permit yourself the luxury of openly, unabashedly, fantasizing about what it is you truly yearn for, and dream of, you set into motion the energetic parameters for manifesting your heart's desire. Until you give free expression to the limitless vision you keep under wraps, you cannot, by definition, create it into your reality. When you operate your life from the mind-set of the unworthiness to have your heart's desire, when you dare not ask for what you truly want out of fear of disappointment, that disappointment is virtually guaranteed! You must know that you are already whole,; that you are in fact worthy of anything you desire. Would you on a hot day think of treating yourself to an ice-cream cone then go out and buy yourself an ice cream cone, then in fear of disappointment or lack of worthiness decide not to even taste it? Would you just let it melt away? Something that your heart desired, you paid for, only to in fact taste the disappointment that you were afraid of by not allowing yourself to taste the ice-cream? Robbing yourself from true experience. Do you see how it works? The moment you imagined what it would be like to have your desire, you have in essence already paid for it. You already expended the energy required to create it. The seed was planted, now nurture it, protect it, give it love, allow it to grow into your reality so that you may enjoy it. Never for one second allow yourself to believe that you don't deserve it or how it happens to manifest into your life.
Just know that's it's a natural occurrence. You do deserve it and you are worthy or you wouldn't have desired it in the first place. Sometimes depending on the clarity of your intent and how open you are, you may even receive something far better.
If you dare to envision yourself in circumstances where your deepest most heartfelt longings were manifested, without reservation and compromise, you might begin to experience the radical shift in the circumstances of your life that would provide you with the very evidence that you are looking for that you do indeed create your life. If you dared to risk letting go of your limitation-based thinking that keeps you anchored in the experience of disappointment in the areas that matters most to you, you might experience the shift from those patterns. Accept the full responsibility that you are in fact the creator of your experience. For just a moment toy with the thought and you will realize that manifesting your desires are as natural as breathing and you are responsible for all of it. Allow yourself to be your highest purpose; there is no need to struggle to attain your highest purpose you are already living it every moment whether your realize it or not. Breathe Naturally and Manifest Your Life, the Life you Deserve to Live, Yours!
