My Peaceful Surroundings

I am surrounded by peace from within and without.

My ability to choose the direction of my thought lets me choose peace.

I am able to measure the things which come into my life by the peace they bring me.

I am able to exclude what does not increase my peace.

I have a right to create happiness and peace for myself under all circumstances.

Only that which supports my happiness and peace is allowed to be in my presence.

I have found my way to peace and happiness step by step.

I have a sure foundation to support me in peace and happiness.

I am able to attract peaceful and happy circumstances, occurrences, and even memories.

I am able to rewrite what does not bring me peace and happiness.

I choose to create peace and happiness for myself and for others.

I see the benefits and results from creating a life which is immersed in peace and happiness.

Problems are solved by seeking the solution through peace and happiness.

Occurences outside of my life have no bearing on who I am or what kind of life I lead.

I have the power to include what belongs in my life and to exclude what does not.

I choose to follow what I love to do and to enjoy the experiences that brings me.

I choose to assoicate myself with those who also enjoy the uplifting feeling of peace and happiness.

I choose to assoicate myself with those who enjoy creating peace and happiness for others.

I am in a place of peace and happiness from which I can build my complete life.

Peel the Lies Away

It is possible to grow up thinking of yourself in entirely false terms.

You may have had the feeling of being completely unappreciated.

You may have felt that all your efforts were for nothing.

You may have felt defeated by circumstances which surrounded you.

It may be that you were around negative people.

Whatever caused the criticism and destructive self-image, it was all lies.

Everything is so beautiful once you peel the lies away.

You can translate your present circumstances into steps forward.

What is it you love to do?

This discovery will move you toward self-appreciation.

Your efforts to move yourself toward what you love to do will increase your sense of self-compassion.

You will begin to see connections which are good for you.

You will move yourself into surroundings which are supportive of you.

You will attract people who love who you are.

Criticism will be turned into recognition and appreciation.

Your individuality will begin to emerge.

You will begin to see yourself as you really are.

You will peel away the lies.

Your well-being will become evident.

You will live the life you are meant to live in well-being and happiness.

Peace in the Steps We Take

We can find peace both in the steps we take and in the steps we do not take.

Sometimes, despite our best intentions, it is not in our best interest to take certain steps.

It requires deep conviction of our ability to listen within and to receive Guidance to turn away from what looks like a perfectly good direction.

When we are given the signs to move away or to move in a different direction, we have to be ready to trust them.

Moving away can be an instance of moving toward something else.

When a path has been prepared and we want to take it, but feel held back, it is a good opportunity to review our priorities and to listen within.

Our resistance to one path may build up our strength to overome obstacles in another path.

When we take our steps in the new path, we will find our way open and unobstructed.

This happens to me from time to time.

By applying excellence to all our efforts, we can be rewarded with a sense of the best path for ourselves.

The peace we receive when we turn in the right direction helps us continue in it.

Our feelings keep us in contact with what is deeply good for us to do.

Our tiny steps, taken in deep peace, lay down a foundation of peace.

We can trust the steps and see the foundation being built.

When it is time, our project will become visible to the people who can benefit most.

We will be able to serve consistently without swerving from our path.

By trusting our intuition and Guidance, we will move gently, with confidence in the path which gives us peace.

We will convey our peace through every action we take.

We will dispel confusion for ourselves and for those we serve.

We will help others to build their own trust through receiving peace from listening within.

Hands of Peace

The hands of peace in my life are many.

I love reflecting on the different times they have appeared.

From when I was very little, I have been able to reach out in desperate situations.

The prayers I learned from a spritual healing tradition supported, and continue to support, me.

My cello teachers found me a willing and disciplined student and they provided positive structure in my life.

My women’s group of entreprenuers adds humor to the weekly times we get together.

My husband has been a constant nurturing and loving presence.

As we travel, we meet interesting and enjoyable people who appreciate our company and conversation.

As I consider what I can offer in a new business, I am receiving support and direction.

All of these are ways in which I experience the uplifting hands of peace in my life.

Through the constant presence of those who express peace in my life, I am encouraged to expand my expression of peace.

I include it in my daily practice.

I add peace to my conversation.

I watch for opportunities to go slow and be unharrassed.

I do things which I love to do in an expectant and joyful way.

I make sure I include light and beauty in my surroundings.

I attract people of an upliftng nature.

I meet new acquaintances who love me.

My practice of peace brings more happiness into my life in natural ways.

The many hands of peace throughout my life have created this peaceful atmosphere for me.
