”Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what your do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi

I am more conscious when my life is in harmony; when I feel content with who I am right here, right now. Becoming honest with myself, connecting with my feelings, and being able to speak my mind appropriately give me a new sense of living that feels healthy and whole. I am more often able to be in a state of mind where I feel at peace with myself and connected to my Higher Power and the world around me. Even though parts of me know better, I still have moments where I need to learn the hard way. I will speak to the wrong person, say the wrong thing or have an inappropriate thought. But by the grace of God, as I understand Him, I  now feel how incongruent these behaviours are and recognize that I have indeed changed. I’ll still have to handle the consequences of what I have said or done, but in most cases the lesson has been learned. I am moving forward in my recovery and moving beyond my mistakes. Harmony in my life ebbs and flows like most things. How well I work my program and take care of myself and my basic needs are all factors that I can control to improve my current condition. As long as I keep focusing on the small things I will be much more prepared to face the bigger challenges.

Affirmation May my thoughts, words, and actions match for today. I will be open to my Higher Power working through me.
