Some questions to ponder this season:


-How are feeling about your situation and what you want to see happen

-What worry, fear, self doubt might you have about your situation/goals

-What makes you happy, excited, feel good about this situation- FOCUS ON THESE FEELINGS!!

-Do you feel deep down that this is what you really need or want

-How will you feel AFTER you achieve your goal; what happens next

-In what way are you communicating with Spirit and others what you feel/need/want in this situation. Is the communication clear; specific

-Are you connecting to your soul's purpose, using confidence and faith- lessons from the East- to overcome worry or fear

-Do you feel you deserve what you’re longing for

-What patterns do you see in yourself and others as you do your spiritual work- what are the lessons


WHAT YOU THINK IS WHAT YOU CREATE- DO NOT CREATE YOUR WORLD BY FOCUSING and THINKING on UNWANTED EMOTIONS. FIND THE LESSON BEHIND THE EMOTION AND CHANGE THE THINKING and EMBRACE YOUR POWER
