Satori Wisdom - I Am Creating Happiness
Happiness is a choice. It cannot be bought or sold, pursued or found because it’s a state of mind. Unhappiness can be transformed by loving yourself enough to break through the blocks that are preventing your well-being.
ACTION STEPS
Declare “I Am Creating Happiness” and reflect on these words by Dale Carnegie: “Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.”
The way you see your body can either strengthen or weaken your happiness. If you focus on what you don’t like about your body you will see more of that and feel sad. Focus on what you love and appreciate to dissolve the block of judgment.
Do you earn a living doing what you love or does it bring you down? Notice how you feel while you’re working to determine if it’s blocking or enhancing your happiness. You can remove the block to feeling good by either changing your career or having a different view of it.

Satori Wisdom - I Am Changing Limiting Beliefs
Beliefs are like puzzle pieces that interlock to form your identity. Since nature abhors a vacuum, if you want to change a limiting belief you can remove a detrimental piece, and replace it with one that’s useful.
“The outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs.” ~ James Allen
ACTIONS STEPS
The first step to changing a belief is to identify it. The way to recognize that a limiting belief is operating in your life is to detect patterns that are driving your behavior. If you’re stuck on repeat and want to change a behavior, decide what kind of a belief you would have to have to keep attracting the same kind of experiences over and over again.
The second step is to choose a new belief. You can replace a limiting belief with one that is empowering by flipping it to its opposite. For example: ‘I’m not good enough’ can be changed to ‘I am good enough.’
The third step is to...
Satori Wisdom - I Am Ready for Change
From the season of hibernation to the first day of spring, change happens naturally. It’s a constant reminder that anything can be transformed with the light of faith, the power of love, and a desire for growth.
ACTION STEPS
Declare “I Am Ready for Change” and reflect on this quote by Viktor Frankl: “When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.”
You can change anything with the power of love. When you love the change you wish to see, it opens the door to transformation.
Your body changes every day due to do constant cell die-off and regeneration. If you want healthier cells in the future, what could you do differently now? Use any current symptoms you may have as a catalyst for change.
Contemplate the Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

Satori Wisdom - I Am Letting Go of Judgment
Two unlikely companions are the ego and the soul. One is fueled by blame and judgment while the other is filled with love and compassion. Healing occurs when the two come together and find common ground.
ACTION STEPS
Declare “I Am Letting Go of Judgment” and reflect on these words: “Do not judge yourself harshly. Without mercy for ourselves we cannot love the world.” Buddha
Your soul is a non-judgmental witness that responds to pain and suffering with love and compassion. Look for the positive intention behind a negative behavior and it will help you let go of judgment.
Self-judgment is a lack of compassion for being human. It comes from having certain expectations about yourself that you haven’t fulfilled or recalling past mistakes you haven’t forgiven. Set yourself free with self-acceptance.
All human behavior is either coming from love or it is a cry for love. If you are in the habit of judging yourself or others harshly for behaving badly, try...
Satori Wisdom - I Am Letting Go of Fear
Love is on the other side of fear. Past fear causes depression, and future fear is called anxiety. Let go of your past and future fears while centered in your heart, and return to love in the present moment.
ACTION STEPS
Declare “I Am Letting Go of Fear” and find your balance.
Fear has a way of putting up walls around your heart. Fear of rejection, abandonment, failure, and judgment can stop you from going for it and living your dreams. Let go of fear and tear down the imaginary barriers to wholehearted living.
FEAR is an acronym for ‘False Expectations Appearing Real.’ Drop your false expectations and replace them with Love. LOVE stands for ‘Living On Vital Energy.’ Fear is only useful when it steers you away from danger and keeps you safe.
The most important journey you’ll ever take is from your head to your heart. The ego can paralyze you with all its fear-based beliefs. Your soul will uplift you with its love-centered wisdom. Make a list...
Satori Wisdom - I Am Trusting Myself
Trust is at the heart of healthy relationships. When you trust yourself you’ve connected with your intuition. Self-trust aligns you with infinite intelligence and the wisdom to make choices for the highest good of all concerned.
ACTION STEPS
Declare “I Am Trusting Myself” and check with your inner GPS (Go. Proceed. Succeed.) before making a decision.
Trusting yourself requires being vulnerable. There may be a fear of rejection if someone doesn’t agree with the choices you make when you’re tuned into your inner sense of knowing. You were born with a natural ability to trust yourself but fear of getting hurt caused a split between knowing what to do, and doing it. Being vulnerable is a strength, especially when it leads to trusting yourself.
Self-trust takes courage. It opens you up to how others will respond to your words and actions. It’s a sure-fire way to strengthen your character and develop your trust muscle. Rejection can sometimes be the...
I Am Determined
Determination creates breakthroughs. It’s the unstoppable drive to keep going even if life knocks you down. When you see challenges through the eye of the tiger, a fierce confidence rises up from deep inside you.
ACTION STEPS
Use the mantra “I Am Determined” and take the next bold step.
Remember that unforgettable theme song from Rocky? It’s Eye of the Tiger . The lyrics are about rising up to the challenge no matter how many times you get knocked down. Play this song anytime you need a shot of determination.
The tiger represents the power to overcome obstacles. Whenever you face an obstacle in your life you can embody the energy of a tiger to get over, around or through whatever appears to be blocking your way. Lack of success in any endeavor is directly related to lack of determination.
The procrastination creed is: Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? The determination creed is: Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?...
Satori Wisdom - I Am Setting Intentions
Intentions connect you with the creative power of the universe. The simple act of getting clear and living in the feeling of already having what you desire, allows it to show up. Setting an intention gets you on course before taking flight.
ACTION STEPS
Declare “I Am Setting Intentions” and then do so.
You may have heard that the road to hell is paved with good intentions; that means without follow-through there may be some regret that causes a hellish kind of mental suffering.
Writing your intentions is a creative note to the universe. It’s the act of getting clear and asking for what you want. Adding images to the written word will enhance your vision and help you get to the feeling.
Health is wealth. Set the intention to start investing in your health today, and you will see the return on your investment for the rest of your life.
Are you doing work that you love? If not, set an intention to love what you do or change what you’re doing to align with this...
Satori Wisdom - I Am Letting Go of Stress
Chronic stress is like pushing against a gorilla all day in an effort to control it. This habit of resistance turns life into a struggle. You can let go of stress by either accepting, changing or leaving a stressful situation.
ACTION STEPS
Declare “I Am Letting Go of Stress” and come back to your natural state of ease.
Stress is like a thief that sneaks up on you, and robs you of your health, happiness and peace of mind. The good news is, you can stop this thief in its tracks by changing your response to it. Look for the lesson in every challenge and grow from the experience rather than suffer through it.
Stress is useful when it triggers the fight-or-flight response to deal with real danger. The release of cortisol helps your body deal with a life-threatening situation; however, if the stress is chronic, cortisol is no longer beneficial and becomes stored in the body rather than used for survival. Too much cortisol will hurt you rather than help you.
Here are some...
Satori Wisdom - I Am Seeing Miracles"
Einstein said: “There are only two ways to live your life: as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle.” By living in a state of positive expectation you will see everything as a miracle
Use the mantra “I Am Seeing Miracles” as a reminder that life is a miracle.
Get outdoors and connect with nature. Ask for a sign that you’re on the right track, and be open to receiving a message; you might see an angel cloud formation or another kind of meaningful sign.
Send love and light to people and places who need it. Imagine surrounding them, and their homes, in a protective bubble of white light. Express gratitude for the miracle of divine protection.
