Speaker 1: Good morning. This is Louise Hay. Let's begin the day together.
Speaker 1: If it is possible for you to listen to this
Speaker 1: before you get out of bed, that's the best of all.
Speaker 1: If not, then please listen as early in the morning
Speaker 1: as you possibly can. Now, make sure that your body
Speaker 1: is very comfortable. If there are any tension spots in
Speaker 1: your body that may have come from a difficult dream
Speaker 1: during the night, just breathe into that area and let
Speaker 1: it go. Feel how comfortable it is for your body
Speaker 1: to be where it is. Feel the warmth and the peace,
Speaker 1: and know that today will be a new day such
Speaker 1: as you have never had before. I know that you
Speaker 1: have some general plans for the day, and you know
Speaker 1: what some of the experiences will be, but not all
Speaker 1: of them. When we awaken in the morning, we never
Speaker 1: know exactly how the day will end. Delightful surprises and
Speaker 1: wonderful adventures are before us. All of your thoughts create
Speaker 1: your future. Every thought you think is creating your future now.
Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter what sort of thoughts you used
Speaker 1: to think in the past, in all those mornings you
Speaker 1: awaken to before. The only thing that matters is the
Speaker 1: kind of thoughts that you are choosing to think now,
Speaker 1: in this very moment. Together, Now, let's release from our
Speaker 1: consciousness all fear and anxiety, all anger and resentment, all
Speaker 1: guilt and the need for punishment. Let's dissolve all sadness
Speaker 1: and jealousy. Just let it go. Those are not the
Speaker 1: thoughts we are going to use to create this new day.
Speaker 1: This is a new day and a new beginning. Feel
Speaker 1: the air as it goes in and out of your body.
Speaker 1: It's such a miracle the way your body breathes itself.
Speaker 1: The air comes into the lungs, then it is sent
Speaker 1: over to the heart where it mingles with the blood.
Speaker 1: And this oxygenated blood is circulated throughout your body, through
Speaker 1: all the veins and arteries down to the tiniest little capillaries.
Speaker 1: Bathing and soap and nourishing every cell in your body.
Speaker 1: You don't even have to think about how to do this.
Speaker 1: There is an intelligence within your body that takes care
Speaker 1: of it for you. It breathes your body, it beats
Speaker 1: your heart, it digests your food. This intelligence enables you
Speaker 1: to see, to walk, to hold things, to communicate with others,
Speaker 1: and to love. There are so many things in our
Speaker 1: lives that we take for granted. We so seldom take
Speaker 1: time out to be thankful and grateful for the many
Speaker 1: miracles we have in our everyday lives and for the
Speaker 1: miracles that we call our bodies. Too often we only
Speaker 1: concentrate on what we do not have. It blesses our
Speaker 1: future to be thankful for what we do have now.
Speaker 1: It opens the way for the good to flow in
Speaker 1: in ever increasing abundance. Let us begin with appreciating the
Speaker 1: very bed we have slept in all night. Think of
Speaker 1: how warm and comfortable it has kept your body while
Speaker 1: you slept and did your dream work, and refreshed your
Speaker 1: mind and your body. Thank your bed. Then, bless the
Speaker 1: furniture in your home that comforts your body and fulfills
Speaker 1: various necessary functions and conveniences. We all have a favorite
Speaker 1: piece of furniture. Have you ever thanked it for being there?
Speaker 1: For you? Do that now? Then think of the miracle
Speaker 1: of the electric light in your home. How wonderful it
Speaker 1: is to have it. Think of all the things that
Speaker 1: you can use electricity for. Remember our appliances, our extensions
Speaker 1: of ourselves. And just as our relationships with other people
Speaker 1: are more wonderful when we are, so, it is with
Speaker 1: the relationships we have with what we call things. Appliances
Speaker 1: and automobiles do not break down when we are in
Speaker 1: good space. So mentally, thank your refrigerator for being there
Speaker 1: for keeping your food fresh for you. Thank your stove
Speaker 1: for helping you cook all those meals. Now, what else
Speaker 1: do you have in your kitchen that you can bless
Speaker 1: with love? Do that now? Now, think of that modern
Speaker 1: miracle called your bathroom. Even kings and queens were not
Speaker 1: able to experience the conveniences we take for granted only
Speaker 1: a century ago. So bless the plumbings that so easily
Speaker 1: and simply removes the waste products, The hot and cold
Speaker 1: water that is so readily available to us when we
Speaker 1: just turn a small knob. The convenience of being able
Speaker 1: to bathe our bodies whenever we desire. These are all miracles.
Speaker 1: Bless the radio you listen to and the television that
Speaker 1: entertains you. Let us be grateful for the telephone that
Speaker 1: brings us love and communications with people everywhere. Bless your
Speaker 1: mailbox and the postal service that helps us communicate with
Speaker 1: people all over this planet called Earth in just a
Speaker 1: few days time. It's a miracle that we take for granted.
Speaker 1: Let us be thankful for the air that we breathe,
Speaker 1: which is so precious to us, and we take so
Speaker 1: for granted. When we exhale, we don't even think about
Speaker 1: where our next breath is coming from. Yet this incredible
Speaker 1: power that has created us has given us enough breath
Speaker 1: to last for as long as we shall live. Let
Speaker 1: us be thankful for the sunshine and the rain. Without
Speaker 1: the rain, the vegetation would die, and we would have
Speaker 1: a barren planet without beauty or food. Let us be
Speaker 1: thankful for the wind that clears the skies and the
Speaker 1: beauty of the moon light. Bless the vegetation that feeds
Speaker 1: and nourishes you. Whenever I eat, I bless the food
Speaker 1: with love, and I thank it for giving its life
Speaker 1: to nourish me. Now, think of the clothing you wear.
Speaker 1: Think of the infinite choices we have of colors and
Speaker 1: fabrics to adorn and comfort our bodies. If it is hot,
Speaker 1: we can choose light, cool clothing. If it is cold,
Speaker 1: we can choose warm, cozy fabrics to comfort us. Think
Speaker 1: of the miracle called walking. How wonderful it is to
Speaker 1: be able to get up and to move to another
Speaker 1: place by walking. Thank your feet for taking you so
Speaker 1: many places in the world. Then look at all the
Speaker 1: other forms of transportation we have to choose from and
Speaker 1: be thankful for. There are roller skates and skateboards, and bicycles,
Speaker 1: and buses and trucks, and automobiles and trains and aeroplanes
Speaker 1: and ships that sail upon the waters. We have our choice,
Speaker 1: and we take them so for granted. How often have
Speaker 1: you been angry when your automobile did not perform perfectly?
Speaker 1: Bless your car with love and be aware of the
Speaker 1: miracle it is to be able to get into the
Speaker 1: comfortable piece of machinery that moves you about this planet
Speaker 1: with very few manipulations, we move forward to our destination.
Speaker 1: It's one of our daily miracles. The next time your
Speaker 1: plane is delayed, release the tendency to be angry. Instead,
Speaker 1: acknowledge the incredible ability to be able to get into
Speaker 1: a little metal tube that rises up in the sky
Speaker 1: and swiftly takes us to another place on this planet.
Speaker 1: It is one of our safest forms of transportation, and
Speaker 1: planes need love just as we do. Let your mind
Speaker 1: go over the various relationships you have in your life.
Speaker 1: Bless them all with love and be thankful for them.
Speaker 1: They are all your teachers. I know you have special
Speaker 1: things in your life that you are thankful for. So
Speaker 1: take a moment to let your mind gently and lovingly
Speaker 1: move throughout your life, past or present, giving thanks for places, people,
Speaker 1: or experiences that either have been or are now in
Speaker 1: your life. It's such a wonderful feeling to be thankful.
Speaker 1: It prepares and opens the way for more good to
Speaker 1: come into our lives. There is a power and a
Speaker 1: presence that resides within us that is always there to
Speaker 1: lead us and to guide us and make smooth and
Speaker 1: easy our way. All we need to do is to
Speaker 1: acknowledge this and to allow it to work for us.
Speaker 1: Too often, when we awaken in the morning, we leap
Speaker 1: out of bed and try to push our way through life,
Speaker 1: controlling everything in sight. But that's not how this power works.
Speaker 1: It's like trying to control your breathing, or your heart, heartbeat,
Speaker 1: or your digestion. If you try, all you do is
Speaker 1: interfere and upset the natural rhythm and flow of your
Speaker 1: bodily processes. The best thing we can do for our
Speaker 1: body is to feed it natural foods and beverages, to
Speaker 1: exercise it in ways that are a pleasure to us
Speaker 1: and to allow the intelligence in the body to take
Speaker 1: care of all the rest. So it is with our lives.
Speaker 1: We think positive, loving thoughts, we forgive others, we are
Speaker 1: kind to ourselves mentally, and then we allow the intelligence
Speaker 1: of the universe to take over and create that which
Speaker 1: is for our highest good and greatest joy. This way
Speaker 1: the process works smoothly. The power that created us has
Speaker 1: given us the power to create our lives, the power
Speaker 1: and choice of the thoughts we think. We have infinite
Speaker 1: choice of that which we can choose to think. These
Speaker 1: choices create our future. If we choose hurt and anger
Speaker 1: and resentment, then we will just create more hurt and
Speaker 1: anger and resentment. If we want love, we must think
Speaker 1: loving thoughts. If we want joy, we must think joy.
Speaker 1: If we want to experience peace and calm, then we
Speaker 1: must think peaceful thoughts. If we want prosperity, then we
Speaker 1: must open ourselves to it mentally. If we want to
Speaker 1: flow creatively, then we must acknowledge our ability. Say this
Speaker 1: with me mentally, I am an open channel for divine
Speaker 1: ideas to flow through me, and the creativity of the
Speaker 1: universe now expresses through me that which I need to
Speaker 1: know is revealed to me, and whatever I need comes
Speaker 1: to me. I am divinely protected and guided, and my
Speaker 1: way is made smooth and easy. One of the things
Speaker 1: that create so many problems for us is thoughts of
Speaker 1: anger and resentment and blame. So let us take a
Speaker 1: moment before we actively begin our day to consciously dissolve
Speaker 1: that from within our mind. Please join me in saying,
Speaker 1: I release all need for anger or resentment or blame.
Speaker 1: I truly forgive all those that need forgiving, and I
Speaker 1: forgive myself. I look forward to this day with love
Speaker 1: and peace and joy and anticipation of abundant good. In
Speaker 1: every area. Wherever you are going today, send love ahead
Speaker 1: to that place. If you are going shopping, then send
Speaker 1: love ahead of you to the market or the store,
Speaker 1: to the building itself, to all the merchandise in it,
Speaker 1: to all the people, to the customers, to the employees
Speaker 1: and the owners. Know that you will be guided to
Speaker 1: make the perfect selections that will benefit you the most,
Speaker 1: and both you and the store will be blessed and prospered.
Speaker 1: Do the same thing. If you're going to have something repaired,
Speaker 1: or if you are going to see a lawyer or
Speaker 1: a doctor or a dentist. If you are going to
Speaker 1: work this morning, then do the same thing. Send love
Speaker 1: ahead of you to your place of business, to the building,
Speaker 1: to the people you work with and the people you
Speaker 1: work for, to the furniture and equipment that you use,
Speaker 1: and to anything else you will come in contact with.
Speaker 1: Let us declare together that this is a healthy, harmonious, loving, prosperous,
Speaker 1: and creative day for you, That it is filled with joy,
Speaker 1: that you welcome change and adventure, that you bring new
Speaker 1: experiences and new people into your life. If there is
Speaker 1: anyone that you expect to meet to day that irritates
Speaker 1: you in any way, just bless them with love. Bless
Speaker 1: them with love, and the love that you send to
Speaker 1: them will return to you multiplied, and you will benefit
Speaker 1: in ways you cannot even imagine. Whatever we give out
Speaker 1: returns to us. As you go through this day, say
Speaker 1: over and over to yourself to or three hundred times
Speaker 1: is barely enough. I approve of myself. I approve of myself.
Speaker 1: Say it with me right now aloud. I approve of myself.
Speaker 1: I approve of myself. I am worth loving, I am
Speaker 1: willing to change and learn a new way of expressing
Speaker 1: and experiencing life. I now begin to accept myself exactly
Speaker 1: as I am. I approve of myself. I approve of myself.
Speaker 1: Let this day be filled with love for you. Let
Speaker 1: this day be peaceful and calm. Let this day bring
Speaker 1: new insights, new understandings. Let this day bring unexpected prosperity.
Speaker 1: Let this be a day of great joy. This is
Speaker 1: your day. This is a good day. It is a
Speaker 1: new day. This is one of the best days you
Speaker 1: have ever had. This is a new beginning. Go forth
Speaker 1: and enjoy all that there is. I love you, and
Speaker 1: we will be together again tonight. To close the day,
Speaker 1: take some nice deep breaths. Now feel the energy filling
Speaker 1: your body. Let's do some affirmations together. You know, an
Speaker 1: affirmation is really anything you say or think. A lot
Speaker 1: of what we normally say and think is quite negative
Speaker 1: and does not create good experiences for us. We have
Speaker 1: to retrain our thinking and speaking into positive patterns if
Speaker 1: we want to change our lives. When we talk about
Speaker 1: doing affirmations, we mean to make a positive statement about
Speaker 1: something we want to eliminate from our lives or something
Speaker 1: we want to create in our lives. Affirmations are like
Speaker 1: planting seeds in the ground. First they germinate, then they
Speaker 1: sprout roots, and then they poke their first little shoots
Speaker 1: up through the ground. It takes some time to go
Speaker 1: from a seed to a full grown plant, and so
Speaker 1: with affirmations, it takes some time from the first declaration
Speaker 1: to the final demonstration. So be patient. Let's have fun
Speaker 1: doing this. Join me in declaring our way to a
Speaker 1: much more enjoyable life. Let's start in the most important
Speaker 1: area of all, loving ourselves. Repeat with me. I approve
Speaker 1: of myself. I approve of myself. I support myself. I
Speaker 1: support myself. I trust myself. I trust myself. I am
