Set Your Compass to Love

Instructions for "Set Your Compass to Love"

1. On waking in the morning, take a minute to ground yourself by taking three belly breaths.
2. Focus your mind on the feeling of Love. Try to feel it in your body. If you need a little help, think of someone you love dearly, or your pet, and this will bring a sensation of Love to awareness.
3. Set your compass toward this feeling for the coming day.
4. Every time you face a decision today, or have an interaction with someone, remember this feeling, and let it be a guide for your choices, decisions and actions.

You can either go through life unconsciously reacting to what comes, or consciously responding to what comes. When you consciously respond with Love, you put yourself in a position of strength and control, regardless of how uncontrollable events may seem.
To consciously respond, you need to know the direction you want to go in, otherwise you will flounder from one day to the next, hoping things will work out. Know your purpose in life and you will know what direction to take when you have choices to make—you will know what direction to set your compass toward. Let that direction be the giving and receiving of Love.
