Expanding [Your] Possibilities

I'll offer a few ideas for you to think about, write about, talk about, wonder about—on your own or with a friendly companion who is not threatened by you becoming a happier, healthier, wealthier person.

Expanding & Contracting

What seems to be expanding in my life?
Do any things seem to be contracting?

Are there possibilities I know I would like to be exploring?
What about things I know need letting go of?

How have I attempted to re-create aspects of my life in the past?
Did any things work especially well for me?
What am I open to trying now?

What do I definitely need more of? ...less of?
Who do I need more of? ...less of?

What am I willing to do to make these adjustments?    
Am I willing to experiment with a few things? 
(You might want to read the article To Begin—Experiment in the April 2006 newsletter.)
Am I willing to be surprised?

How can I be more supportive of myself? ...more generous? ...compassionate?
Do I need to allow myself something?

What can I do today?
How can I look forward to tomorrow?

Affirmation

Thank you for giving me this new day to be alive.
I open my heart to receive perfect gifts of
          healing, love, compassion and gratitude.
I surrender my fears to live this day with grace
          and ease.
Tonight, I'll release this day in trust and gratitude.
