I AM... Enough, Gem #18

"Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence of courage." ~Neal Maxwell




Know that you’re more than enough just as you are. There is nothing you have to prove to yourself or anyone else to claim your worthiness.  You were created in the image of God, the I AM with your own individual expression and unique gifts.


Your own personal gifts are enough! It does not matter what gifts others have. Focus on yours! You have everything you need within you to create a purposeful and rich life.

What undue pressures you put upon yourself! Do your best each day and know it is enough. Some days your best may seem better than others. Knowing you are enough does not have to be based on how much is accomplished on a daily basis.  Each day you are enough. When you remind yourself of this, you will feel confident and self-assured. You will feel lighter and more joyous! Those around you will sense your joy and will feel more joyous themselves.

You are enough -- own it, believe it, and live it!

Affirmation:

I AM… Enough. I have special gifts. My life has purpose and meaning. My best is enough. I release undue pressures. I exude confidence and grace.  I AM… Enough.

I AM... Perfect Health, Gem #8

"Take care of your body; it's the only place you have to live."~Jim Rohn



YOU ARE the unique and divine expression of your Creator, God-I AM! YOU ARE created in the divine likeness of Him/Her. YOU ARE here on Earth to experience growth, expansion, love and joy as a co-creator in this likeness. Your physical body is the storehouse of your divine expression, Spirit, designed to facilitate travel for your journey. There are many choices to be made daily in regards to your body. Some choices may or may not support your journey, so be careful what you choose.


Listed below are five components of perfect health. One affects or builds upon the other. Balance of these components support you in a healthy physical body enabling your Spirit to soar.

Movement - Choose the movement that you enjoy to keep your physical body strong, flexible, energized and healthy.

Rest - Give yourself the rest you need to feel balanced and refreshed. Remember your stress level needs to be monitored and attended with Love.

Nourishment - Forget the fad diets out there. When choosing foods, stop and ask these two simple questions: "Is this food honoring my body? Is it giving my body the nutrients needed to support good health and function properly?

Mind - Unhealthy thoughts will create an unhealthy body. Choose thoughts that give you a feeling of wellness. Reject thoughts that give you a feeling of discord. Carefully choose the books you read, the music you listen to, and the movies you watch. All input affects your overall well-being.

Meditation - Spend time either listening to soothing music, strolling in nature, focusing on the breath, or perhaps visualization to name just a few. Choose a form of meditation that YOU enjoy. This will give you keen awareness to who you truly are.

YOUR ARE a unique and divine expression of your Creator. Choose carefully to support your physical body as you travel on your joyous journey.

Letting Go....

"...but keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world, it's a new life." - unknown



Ask yourself this... What am I holding onto that keeps me stuck in living a life of limitation, fear, and boredom? Is it limiting thoughts about myself? Is it worry about other people's opinions of me? Is it the unwillingness to let go of material possessions that keep me stuck in a job I hate? Is it a worn out pattern in a relationship? What is it? In your heart you know the answer!

 Now, ask yourself this... Is now the time to finally let it go; to set myself free of the chains that bind me? It is clearly your choice!

Letting go creates a new life - a new beginning! Where you have been has been important. It has helped shape who you are. But have faith that by letting go of that which has you stuck in negative thoughts and experiences leads you to a richer life. Gently let go and set your intention to experience a life of freedom and joy! It is time!

Affirmation: I AM... free to choose in every given moment.  I let go of all that binds me.  I embrace a richer life.  I AM...free!
