Sunday Thinking

"Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be."

The weekly Sunday Thinking newsletter is quick-hit content that aims to provide a booster shot to your thought process as you end and start your week.

"Sometimes the experiences we go through feel challenging because they are directing us to a new path-one that is more aligned with our highest good. It is no mistake that what you are going through is happening; you could consider it as designed for you specifically. What if your higher self and the Universe have assigned lessons for you to experience so you can learn and grow? We all have lessons and spiritual assignments in part because we are here on planet Earth, and Earth itself is like a huge classroom...We are all students. Each experience you go through helps you learn more about yourself and those around you."

II. Being Kinder to Yourself

“Being kinder to yourself” can feel like an overwhelming goal, especially if you’re used to being critical and judgmental towards yourself.

But really, being kind to yourself is just choosing, in the very next moment, to be a bit more loving, gentle, caring, and compassionate.
Instead of focusing on this big end-goal, focus on your next thought or action. How can you be kinder to yourself—right now?

These small choices, day in and out, add up. They change you: over time, you will become someone who instinctively treats yourself with kindness.

III. Make Peace Your Purpose

Peace is available to you when you allow yourself to be who you really are.

Peace is your purpose, and it is part of living a fulfilled life.
You don't have to change yourself or try to fit in the world.
You simply open up to your Divine Self and let the world be what it is.

You can lead a life of wonder and awe with peace as your purpose.

Trust my efforts will bear fruit and keep going.
Practice gratitude and welcome new beginnings.

The Last Words…

"We may at times feel odd when we outgrow the preferences that we were familiar with. We may even feel a little lost when we realize that we have outgrown our old life. In these moments, it helps to remind ourselves that it is fine to have new favorites, new ways of expressing ourselves, and new aspirations. To fully embrace growth, we must be willing to venture into the unknown."
