Road Trip Day 4: Daily Practice

I'm in St. George for 2 more days and will leave the morning after my mother's 91st birthday.

Today was one of those days when my daily spiritual practice of meditating, setting my intention and reading a conscious thought in the morning really paid off. From the get-go, NOTHING panned out as planned. (And I must say it's been like that for at least a month now.) It was one of those days when there are two choices when something doesn't go as planned: Either thrash around, tormenting yourself and those you love by your antics OR just keep breathing, letting old expectations go....and create something new.

So OF COURSE the daily reminder I read was about staying in the NOW.

Lots of experts in the field of personal empowerment and consciousness remind us constantly that the point of power is in the present moment. Why? Because it's the point from which all future creation springs. If I want the best possible outcome for anything, how I live right now is influencing it.

The assignment for today from the book "Effortless Prosperity Book II" by Bijan Anjomi: "Acknowledge all good things that you have."

Bijan goes on to say: "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life and opens us to receive abundance from everywhere. It turns what we have turns into enough, and more. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow..."
This practice of staying in the present and creating something even better than we presently experience is further described n the A.A. Big Book

"when I stopped living in the problem and began living the answer, the problem went away....."

Letting go of my expectations, staying in the present and focusing on the good stuff really made a difference today. I'm ending my day by acknowledging the power and gift of a conscious daily practice that makes my life so much easier on all levels!
