The message this week is quite simple for me. “The world is too much with us” as Wordsworth said. It is very easy to get side-tracked by the physical environment, the world is in chaos, there is no doubt. For me the only way to get through this is to breathe and focus on my energy, what am I putting out there, am I adding to the fear and hatred, or am I acting in love and compassion.

For me the main points here are to realise that “bad” or “negative” situations aren’t ever a failing or punishment, they are a rebalancing, and reminder and a challenge to do things differently, to make decisions and choices that expand our experience.

We have the tools, experience and knowledge within ourselves, we do not need others to dictate our existence, make us fearful, or try to control us.

As the new year begins, pay attention to yourself. Where is your energy, are you spending too much time worrying and stressing about stuff you have no control over?

Concerned about whether looking after yourself for a change will make people think you are not as “spiritual” as you profess to be, not a good person, etc. Remember the following – your reputation has nothing to do with you, it is the picture others create of you in their minds and is a reflection of their own judgements, failings, and feelings.
