Find Balance and Direction

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Listen to the truths surfacing in your heart. I am calling you to pay attention to true self-care, which involves finding balance between activity and stillness. Already you are seeing the  benefits of this quiet time spent with Me. Simplify your life. Take time to reflect on what is most important to you vs. how you are spending your time. I speak to you on a gut-level like that. Honoring Me doesn’t mean overextending yourself, nor does it mean giving up what you enjoy. I designed you with likes and dislikes for a reason and a purpose. Ask Me to help you find balance and direction as you follow what gives you passion. That is My gift to you.

Allow Yourself to Like Yourself

You know Me. I can take the pressure off a little as you sit with Me, allowing Me to care for you. You are endearing to Me with the ways you love and care, – always trying so hard. Allow yourself to like yourself today. Stop picking every little thing apart and choose to be accepting and kind toward yourself. See how life-changing this can be!

Stress Is Taking A Toll

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I see you having a hard time with all those jumbled thoughts, making you feel under so much pressure. The stress of feeling like you must be on top of things all the time is taking a toll. Come to Me. Come in even closer this time, and breathe. I am already assisting you. Help is here. You just need to remember to trust Me with all of it. No detail is too small or goes unnoticed by Me. Now, add a little more self-care to the mix, trusting that there will be time enough for everything because I’m helping. I call you to calmer ways and I’ll keep providing exactly what is needed to get you through today.

Be Exactly Who You Are

I ask you to be exactly who you are today. No false pretenses are needed. You can speak with confidence on topics you are familiar with. I know you can also listen attentively, attending well to others with genuine compassion and concern, because this is how I made you. You are right where you are supposed to be. Eat healthy, stay hydrated,-  taking good care of the vessel I’ve designed. Throw any residual shame or anxiety out the window into the rubbish pile. There is no place for that negativity or worry here in My loving Presence.

Don’t Numb Out

You don’t have to numb out with things that aren’t good for you today. Come to Me with your pain or sorrow. Run into My arms of safety and comfort, seeking solace instead of just a diversion from the things that hurt or overwhelm you. Choose food, drinks, and activities that are healthy for you, and pat yourself on the back for electing good self-care. I can help you be in control of those choices. Numbing out makes you stay stuck, and I want to free you. Ask Me to help and I’ll be there instantaneously, giving Grace and strength to recover from old habits.

Just Be

Be okay with yourself for a day. Stop the relentless teeth grinding and self-imposed pressure to perform, handle, initiate, follow through on, and take care of things. Listen to yourself setting that expectation bar so high. Just “be” for a change. Work on mindfulness, – a step by step awareness and contentment without excessive planning or self-criticism for what isn’t getting done. My ways of Peace may not seem aligned with your work ethic and drive. Listen to Me and let Me teach you. You don’t always have to show accomplishment to be a successful, devoted follower of Mine. Practice being calm and peaceful, even around others. Less is more today.
