Eternal Wellspring
Self-sourced and Overflowing
Before the world tells me who I’m supposed to be ~ Before anyone tells me they can’t believe what I’m saying ~ Before the light of the sun shines down and strips the shadows ~
I wake up smiling. I’m alone with my thoughts. I feel good. I feel… full.
My energy is flowing strongly.
I don’t reach for my phone. My cat meows, so I get him some breakfast. Morning light stretches across the floor. My cat greedily laps up the chunky, wet food. He is a good boy.
I feel grateful. I feel blessed. I know that everything is just as it should be.
I know that if I focus on myself I can stay in this energy all day. So I don’t worry about other people’s opinions. I don’t need them to pour into my cup… I just need to let the energy flow from within and spill out into the world.
I place one hand over my heart. I feel my own energy flowing through my body.
I whisper to myself in the first light of the morning ~ “My energy is flowing strongly.”
I smile to myself. I take a long, slow inhale through my nose and then totally relax as I breathe out and announce to no one in particular ~
“MY ENERGY IS FLOWING STRONGLY.”
Like a mountain river in the springtime.
Like the slow, inevitable revolution of the universe.
Like an Ox.
Today, I’m as strong as I’ve ever been. Stronger, even ~
I go for a walk as the morning starts to grow longer. No cellphone, no headphones, no music. Just me and my friend, The Universe.
My mind is clear and my heart is strong.
I’m not in a rush. I string one good thing into the next ~ an unbroken chain of progressive success.
I call all of my energy back to me and feel myself overflowing from within.
I am self-sourced.
I let the words fall into rhythm with my footsteps ~
“I am self-sourced.”
I feel my feet hit the ground and say it again ~
“I AM SELF-SOURCED.”
What does that mean?
Does it mean I don’t need anybody? Of course not!
I love people. I am humbled by all of the love that surrounds me. I welcome friendship, help, good advice, strange opportunities, unexpected blessings, and invitations to dinner.
All of it.
Please ~ pour away!
I just don’t make anyone else responsible for keeping the light on inside me.
I know where the switch is. I am the only one who has authority over my thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Other people can think whatever they want. Their opinions belong to them.
My thoughts.
My words.
My energy.
My domain.
Throw your hands up in the sky and reach out!
Go ahead. Nobody is watching. And if they are? Who cares!
Then bring them back to earth and accept yourself. YOU DESERVE LOVE.
Now place both hands on top of your heart ~
Can you feel it? Can you remember?
All that love you feel…YOU HAVE THAT FOR YOURSELF. You always did.
Say this slowly enough to feel every word ~
“I feel the love in my heart.”
Take a deep breath. Let it all the way out and say ~
“I FEEL THE LOVE IN MY HEART!”
I feel love for my family. I feel love for my friends. I feel love for my cat. I feel love for myself ~ all of me.
I feel love for this beautiful Life and everything it is bringing me.
The love is right here… warm beneath my palm and moving through my body.
Into my shoulders.
Down my arms.
Through my hands.
All the way to the tips of my fingers.
What am I supposed to do with all of that love?
I LET IT OUT!
Before the world speaks.
A smile.
A kind word.
A job done well.
A little patience, a flower smelled, a moment savoured.
One good thing flows into the next. Then the next. Then the next.
On and on ’til infinity ~
By the time I turn toward home, I can feel the next words rising up inside me ~
“My cup is overflowing!”
Half-full?
No.
Almost full?
Not even close.
ABSOLUTELY OVERFLOWING!
Say it with a big ol’ smile on your face and let The Universe hear you ~
“MY CUP IS OVERFLOWING!”
My cup is overflowing with joy. With energy. With love.
Good ideas, crazy dreams, and another beautiful day to live.
Today, I am unstoppable.
Today, I do not suffer.
Today, I am.
I AM.
I pour love into my words.
I pour joy into my work.
I pour gratitude into my thoughts.
I pour myself into the moment and witness myself ~ full and complete.
The more love I give, the more Love I feel. The more joy I share, the more Joy I find.
I am drawing from an Eternal Wellspring.
When I get home, my cat looks at me and chirps a little “get me anything good?”
I cross the room, grab a treat out of the cupboard, and toss it to him.
He’s happy. I’m happy.
I say all four affirmations together ~
“My energy is flowing strongly.”
“My cup is overflowing.”
“I am self-sourced.”
“I feel the love in my heart.”
The world can say, think, and do whatever it wants. Ultimately, that has nothing to do with me.
I know who I Am.
