5 Choose to Start New in Every Moment. You have the power to choose again. When you go off your healthy diet, stop exercising, or procrastinate starting a new meditation practice, don’t be afraid to take a breath and begin again. Whether it’s a new day, a new hour, or a new moment, know that it’s your special opportunity to clean your slate and begin anew. With each new moment, celebrate your successes toward shifting self-sabotage. Instead of beating yourself up and giving up, pay attention to the smallest steps you’ve already taken toward creating a healthier habit. Notice the small changes you’ve already made even if it’s just the awareness that you need to change. That still counts and is a step toward creating what you want by first declaring it. Write your intention on Post-It notes and put it everywhere you can see it. Make it your screensaver on your phone or computer. Let the energy of your intention guide every breath, thought, word, and choice. When you live intentionally, you consciously co-create what you want rather than unconsciously allow life to happen to you. Your intentions are even more powerful when you become an intentional being, co-creating a conscious relationship with your life. Every moment in your life―good, bad, or neutral―is an opportunity to become free of your self-sabotaging behaviors and open your heart in self-love. Be more discerning in your choices and release the self-sabotaging patterns of behavior. Choose intentionally what spiritually aligns with you, and what does not. Each choice you make from your heart brings your mind, body, and spirit into coherence with the flow of love. This is the essence of soul-hearted living, which is living in alignment with your heart and soul.

Focus on the positive energy emanating from your heart and simply thank the old negative thoughts for showing up, then release them. When you bypass your head, you become open to receive spiritual information through the heart center to guide you whether it’s a gut feeling, an “a-ha” moment, inkling, or an inner knowing. This heart-centered positive mindset takes conscious awareness and with awareness comes the ability to shift your self-sabotaging behaviors.
