I Am A Fully Functional Human

I'm sharing today a morning meditation for you to use. I use this as a means to brightly and confidently start my day...

I'm a Fully Functioning Human

I am a being of our beautiful planet, Earth,

I am a fully functioning human,

With a healthy body, quick mind and shining spirit,

That allows me to be healthy, well, whole and complete.

I awake to this new day,

Ready to face, overcome or make peace,

With any challenges that I am facing,

As I live this gift of a new day.

I recognize that I am not perfect,

That life is not perfect,

That everything and everyone around me is not perfect,

But still may be perfect enough for me.

I know that sometimes I am facing unforeseen challenges,

Or facing monumental life changes,

That can sometimes stop me in my tracks,

Mentally, physically or spiritually.

As a strong, functioning human,

I will move forward to continue my life,

To learn to travel through or with these challenges,

With patience, determination, tolerance and acceptance.

Today I will step into my day,

And face my tough issues with an optimistic attitude,

A willingness to cope and to learn,

And with a determination to overcome and keep moving forward.

Gratefully, there will always be days of bliss and love,

That welcome a carefree step into a new day,

But, there will also be days of struggle and pain,

Where I will have to work harder to cope and keep going.

Either way, I am an incredible human spirit,

With strong and loving energy to give,

And a loving body and mind to share,

With those I may meet today.

I am a grateful being of this planet,

As a fully functioning human,

With a healthy body, quick mind and shining spirit,

That allows me to see myself as healthy, well, whole, and complete.
