Hello,
My name is Lou Redmond and I am excited to be sharing with you today's daily insight on having a successful year.
I find New Year's often brings up our insecurities.
It shows all the ways we haven't succeeded and we enter the year setting goals in order to feel like we're enough.
We also compare ourselves to others who post on social media about their year's success.
Both of these are detrimental to our happiness.
We must practice rooting for others' achievements and remember that true meaning and happiness comes from the inside.
Our meditation practice offers this daily reminder that we don't have to do anything to feel like we're enough.
We have all the love,
Peace,
And fulfillment within if we can allow ourselves to find it.
We don't have to wait until New Year.
We can find this peace right now.
So go ahead and close your eyes if you haven't.
Come into your breath.
Just take one full breath in and a full breath out.
And I'd like you to acknowledge and accept all that has already happened this year.
And maybe you find a word that this year represents for you.
Maybe it was challenging,
Transformative,
Struggling,
Loving.
And just honor and accept all that happened and that didn't happen no matter what it is.
And remember that we don't have to wait until New Year.
Every day we can decide what do we want to bring into this day.
So accepting all that happened in this year and asking yourself what do you want to bring in to this day?
What is that energy?
Is it love?
Is it purpose?
Is it fulfillment?
Feel that from within.
And letting that go.
And now let's think about any ways in which we block ourselves from feeling this each day.
Often,
They come from the feeling of lack like we must do in order to achieve and feel like we're enough.
So to let that go,
Allow these words to fall and maybe repeat them to yourself.
I am enough just as I am.
I don't have to do anything,
Be anyone,
Or achieve any goal.
I am always,
Always enough.
I am always,
Always enough.
And see if you can really feel that fulfillment.
Feel yourself feeling from the inside out.
With that energy,
I want you to think of anyone in your life whom you compare yourself to.
Maybe it's someone who is successful.
Maybe it's someone whom you're a little jealous of.
And bringing this person to mind.
And we're going to share some words to them.
And even if you don't believe it,
Even if you don't feel it,
It's a good practice to get into.
Imagining them and then sharing with them,
Have a successful year.
Keep crushing it and do well.
I hope you're happy and fulfilled.
May you receive all of those blessings that you deserve.
Really wish this person well.
And once you've done that,
Come back to those energies that you like to cultivate.
What do you want to bring into your life?
Feeling of success,
Fulfillment,
Of abundance.
You have to bring that into your body.
And then come back to right here,
Right now.
I'd like you to feel the miracle of your breath and of your heartbeat.
And it may help to bring a hand on your heart or a hand on your belly.
And ask again,
How do you want to bring this miracle into this day?
You are the miracle and you can bring some of this into every day.
Forget about the year.
Today,
You can do this.
And remember,
You can always come back to you,
To who you are,
To what gives your life meaning.
And from that,
We get to succeed day by day.
Slowly letting that go,
Coming back and opening your eyes.
And I thank you so much.
I'd love to hear about how your year was.
So please leave a comment.
I'd love to audio reply to each and every one and I wish you a successful and fulfilled and loving year.
Thanks so much.
I'll see you next time.
