Back in the Calm

I have learned how to bring myself back into a calm state no matter where I am.

I am grateful to return to places where I was overwhelmed in the past and to be able to become calm.

As I have conducted my business, despite recurring anxiety, I have been able to find my way to whatever I needed.

I have been able to take the time I needed to take my deep breaths, settle myself, and to proceed on my course.

Throughout my day, I was where I needed to be in a timely manner.

I was able to include some valuable and inspiring time at art exhibits.

I continued with my spiritual writing and meditation drawing and visited classes on spirituality.

Every element which I needed was at hand.

I made new friends easily, and enjoyed participating in new activities.

I have gained valuable insight on my progress.

I appreciate the freedom which I am experiencing.

I am grateful for the new place I find myself in.

I am able to operate well, conscious of what I have overcome from the past.

Completing a Task

There is peace which comes upon completing a task.

Sometimes it takes a long time for the elements to all come in focus which allow a task to be completed.

Once it comes into mind, everything will move together at the right time, and completion will become effortless.

This is true for short-term and long-term goals.

It is true for simple tasks and complex tasks.

The right elements will occur in unpredictable ways when least expected and the task will get done.

As a high school cello student, I remember following all the instruction I was given to learn how to create an bowing style called “spiccato”.

For several weeks, I could not get it.

Finally, three weeks after my teacher left for her summer gig, as I was practicing, it just happened.

Everything came together and I was able to play “spiccato”.

I actually remember pulling my bow out just a little farther on the string and that was the moment that created the right balance of all the elements.

Another time, I was given the opportunity to acquire some special materials.

I felt overwhelmed and burdened at the time as well as feeling a certain sense of obligation.

Perhaps a year later, the opportunity came to follow through on the offer when I was least expecting it and under what would certainly have been called adverse circumstances.

Those elements came together in an unusual way and acquiring the materials turned out to be easy and fun.

I was relieved of the obligation at the same time.

When a goal is right and desirable, the Universe will create the opportunities which allow for completion and peace.

Finding My Source

For many years, I did not know how to find my Source.

I saw other people’s lives and wondered how they did it.

It took me a while to even learn how to look for my own identity.

My own identity, when I started to find it, is gentle and beautiful.

In finding my own identity, I found my Source.

I found that my Source is always here, within me, and that it is always accessible.

I have a constant and trusted Guide, whenever I turn to it.

It empowers me and gives me clarity.

I am never at a loss, with my Guide so present.

I have a peaceful reference point whenever I turn to it.

They way I found my Source was to listen within.

My persistent thoughts, the ones always at the back of my mind, turned out to be the ones to listen to.

Now that I know that they are true, I listen more readily and turn them them constantly.

My Source is always fresh, original, imaginative.

I am able to approach ideas in an entirely new way.

I see a kind of trademark for what I do.

There is a consistency and freshness and originality.

It is something I can count on.

I am finding peace with my Source.

I have joy when I work with the ideas which identity me.

My Source has persisted until I have recognized it and embraced it as my identity.
