Today on Struck Inside Out.

Cultivating gratitude and love.

Lately I have moments where I realize how beautiful life is.

Some mornings I wake up to a warm breeze.

I watch from bed as it gently grazes my curtains,

Lifting them up into the air,

Then back down again to once more rise and sway with the wind.

Robins and Cardinals sing their songs in the cool dawn air,

Hoping their melodies will be heard from miles away.

They wait for potential partners to come to them.

The sun,

Warm and radiant,

Rests its rays on my plants.

The trees swaying outside cast shadows of fragmented light.

I watch as daylight dances across walls and oak.

I inhale and then I exhale as I stretch my body into the warm bed that I slept well in all night.

I smile as I take in my space,

My home,

My blessings.

I remember all of my life's blessings and I focus on the gratitude and love.

I have so much to be thankful for.

I am so blessed.

When I plant my feet on the ground,

I smile at the grace and gift of another new day.

I am alive.

I am healthy.

I am well.

I have all that I need within me.

I will always choose to live in this way.

I will always lean into the light.

Before I begin my day,

I sit in silence and focus on my breath.

Each inhale takes me a little deeper.

Each exhale releases just a little bit more.

I sit with myself,

For myself,

And cultivate the love and happiness that I want to experience today.

I choose to focus on all of the good,

All of the light,

All of the blessings.

I will take the next few minutes to create this for myself.

It all begins here.

It all starts with me.

As I deepen my breath,

I feel the air fill my body with each inhale,

And I let go of anything that no longer serves me with each exhale.

I take a deep breath,

And I hold it.

Then I release.

I take one more deep breath,

And I hold it.

I take one more deep breath,

And I hold it.

Then I release.

Now that I've taken the time to create the emotions that I want to feel today,

I go into this day knowing that I already have what I desire.

I already created it to be so.

I am a powerful being who creates everything that I experience.

I choose how I will feel in any circumstance.

I choose how I will respond to the external.

Although I may have no control over the external,

I always have control over the internal.

My internal world makes up my external world.

I honor myself for taking the time to set positive intentions for my day.

I am a beacon of light for myself and others.

I choose to be my own light now and always.

Thank you for another new day.

Thank you for the gift of life.

I will create beauty for myself and everyone else.

I will create the life that my heart desires.

I will cultivate love and gratitude in all that I do.

I thank you.
