Continued from previous page 8. Take care of yourself. You are a worthy, divine spiritual being. Treat yourself accordingly.___E)___. Nourish yourself with nutritious foods, water, movement, meditation and sleep. Fill your cup until it overflows onto others. 9. Commit to self-love. Your relationship with yourself is the most important one of your life. How you treat yourself will have a profound impact on your relationship with others, as well as your level of success and happiness.___F)___. Place your hand on your heart daily and tell yourself you are loved and accepted. Remind yourself 'I love you' whenever you are feeling anxious, ungrounded or inadequate. Remember you are always enough. 10. Be present and mindful. The only time you can truly experience life is now. Leave those circling thoughts, worries and daydreams alone for a minute and check out what joys and opportunities are surrounding you in the present moment. Give each task your full love, energy and attention. Connect with your senses throughout the day as a window into the present. Drop into your being and make presence your natural state. ___G)____Hold nothing back. 11. Remember measure and balance. The sage walks the middle path, away from the extremes. There is a time for action and a time for rest. A time for giving and a time for receiving. A time for speaking and a time for silence. A time for indulging and a time for holding off. Balance the areas of your life – calling and career, love and relationships, wealth, leisure and lifestyle, well-being and spirituality – in line with your values. 12. Creation over reaction. You are a powerful creator. Spend less time complaining about how things are and more time deciding how you would like them to be – and then take inspired action to make it so. Embody the energy of having what you desire in advance of it arriving. Act, dress, walk, talk and make decisions as your ideal self. Keep your eyes on your vision, not the illusions around you. They are yesterday's creations. 13. Adopt Namaste consciousness. Bless others and soul-salute them as you pass by. Remember the light within you is the same light within them – we're all just souls wearing different costumes. We're also operating at different levels of consciousness, so show compassion and practice forgiveness.____H)_____ Replace judgment with acceptance, respect and love. 14. Think give. Wake up and ask yourself: how can I serve today? How can I embody love? How can I bring joy? How can I leave this world a better place? Have a spirit of service as you go about your day. Be a blessing, good company, an inspiration to others. You get more of what you give, so if you lack love, joy or abundance, find a way to help others find it. It will return to you a hundredfold.
