12TH DAY-
12th day-
Acceptance vs. expectations is the focus for today. Allow yourself to accept events today as they come to you. Release any kind of expectation. Observe yourself when expecting someone to behave the way YOU want them to. Consciously stop yourself and truly make an effort to accept them for who they are and what their choices are. Apply this to all situations today with awareness. In the same way you let go of "should", let go of expectations and allow yourself to accept others and life events as they develop. Enjoy the surprises that will come up and the simplicity of being open to life.
As you take your 10 breaths this morning, with your eyes gently closed, check that you are sitting up, with your back straight but relaxed. Place your palms in your lap with the right palm supporting the left one and facing the sky and your thumbs gently touching each other. As you inhale slowly through your nose, the abdomen should rise more than the chest. At the end of your inhalation, take a moment to pause before you begin your exhalation. As you exhale slowly through your lips, gently bring your abdomen in to exhale as much air as possible. Focus on accepting this moment in time with every breath. Feel the calmness with which you will start your day today...
Enjoy you day...
Tonight, before you go to sleep, do the same, and as you focus on your breath, focus on the beauty of acceptance. Ease yourself into a state of relaxation and gratitude. As you do, take time to give thanks for at least two specific moments of today in which you were able to release all expectations and accept. Feel the freedom that comes with it...
Sweet dreams…
