Don’t Compartmentalize Yourself

compartmentalizationYou have many aspects to your life. Some prominent ones are listed in this graphic:

  • Work
  • Spirituality
  • Love
  • Health
  • Wealth
  • Friends
  • Family
  • Peace of Mind
  • Happiness

I’m sure there are others that you can add to your own personal list. We have to have a balance of all these facets of our life in order to truly be prosperous. If we spend too much time concentrating on one area, such as work, then the other areas are excluded or minimized. In order to be a well rounded, vibrationally secure person, we need to attend to all of these, not just one or two.

Remember the saying “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”? Well, that’s so much more profound than we know. If you direct the majority of your energy in one direction, you will become dull. You’ll use all your cortisol keeping yourself in one all encompassing plane. Usually when we concentrate on only one area we are in a high state of stress response regarding that aspect. We’ve talked recently about the adverse effects of chronic stress response on the body. We are meant to only activate the stress response in times of true threat. But the way we have adapted and adopted our hectic lives today, our bodies feel as if we are under a constant threat so the body responds appropriately. This is NOT healthy for us and eventually leads to exhaustion and even illness – this, then, switches our focus onto negative aspects requiring our attention to try to improve our health or life.

Take an inventory of each aspect of your life. Grade yourself on a scale of 1-10 in each area.

Once you’ve been honest about this, find out where you need to pay more attention. Do you have many friends? Or could you pay more attention to the friends you do have? Are you happy? If not as happy as you’d like, what can you do about this?

Spend some time on this and you’ll have a very balanced life.

What’s In Your Wallet?

whats-in-your-walletOne goal of everyone who does any kind of marketing is to be known by a jingle or a phrase and I’m just like everyone else and would love that recognition….sigh.

The phrase “What’s in your wallet” is very well known. But other than creating a sense of familiarity when you hear it, what goes through you mind (if anything) when you hear those words?  Hopefully you don’t focus on lack or the fact that what’s there is not what you’d like it to be. You should be focusing on the fact you have a wallet and a job and your life! Even if you only have a dollar in your wallet, you are rich – you are as rich as you feel. You can feel like the richest, most prosperous person in the world even with one dollar. Do you have any pictures in your wallet? If so, that is evidence of your abundance – you have family or friends whose picture you carry with you near and dear to your heart. What is more valuable than love? Nothing in my book. Love is the most important aspect of my life. That and being able to help others. With love in your heart, your vibration is as high as it possibly can be and if you ride the wave of love, there is nothing you cannot do!

You know what one of THE most valuable things in my wallet is? My military ID. Not just because it serves as my ticket onto the base and to medical but because of the 30 years of active duty I served in the Navy. The memories contained in that single card are priceless to me. And every time I touch it, the experience of that part of my life comes back to me once again. I hold the card and can go back to any time I want and relive the great times. You can do that with any item in your wallet, even currency. If you have a dollar bill, think back to the first time you had a dollar in your pocket or in your hands and could then put it in your wallet. What memories are engaged when you do that? If they are great memories, use them to increase your vibration in a positive mode. Even if they aren’t the best memories or you feel you had to struggle too hard, use that memory as inspiration to reach for your goals. That will increase your vibration in a positive direction if you use it properly.

What about credit cards? Don’t think of them as symbols of your debt because that will focus you on lack and then you’ll just attract more of that. Realize that you have enough value that you can have a credit card! Not everyone can qualify. Then take it a step further and recognize that you have willpower and discretion so that you use your credit card with Divine Wisdom. You also can focus on (and raise your vibration with) the fact that this means you can provide for your family and even your friends if they need it. You have credit and you really CAN take care of money. One of my limiting beliefs came from my father telling me repeatedly that I’d never be any good with money. I’ve had to work diligently on that one since everything he said to me I took as the Gospel – out of a combination of love and fear of him.

Are there notes in your wallet? A list of phone numbers perhaps? What do those phone numbers mean to you. Are they of people you work with, your family, your friends, your emergency contacts or what? What does each person mean to you? Do you have some special business cards there? What do they mean to you?

Take a day this week and go through your wallet and hold it in your hands feeling all of the feelings and vibrations contained within. You’ll be surprised and if you put some effort into it, you’ll think about your wallet in a much more powerful way than you ever have! It will empower you too. You have so much value and so many vibrational tools in your wallet that you cannot help but improve your momentum when you look at it from the positive perspectives we’ve just discussed.

Let us know how you did and what got brought up when you worked this through.

Momentum Monday

momentum-monday1“The brain is the focusing mechanism that you are utilizing here. But there is consciousness that is outside of what you call the human focus of the brain. That’s this vibrational thing we continually talk about. We talk about vibration. We talk about Energy. We talk about thought. And eventually, once enough momentum has occurred, you will feel emotion. We want to acknowledge that the emotions that you feel are manifestations. And there is a significant amount of momentum that has occurred before your emotions show you how well aligned, or not, you are with that Broader Perspective.” —Abraham (Excerpted from the book: Co-creating at Its Best on November 13, 2013)

The key to today’s Abraham excerpt is your emotions are the most powerful possession you have. You can create anything with your emotions. Think back to the various powerful emotions you’ve had – was it anger, rage, love, disgust, what? I remember when I had been so frustrated by the fact that at the very last minute the house I was due to move into in 3 days fell through and I had to find a house in record time. My mother, my realtor and I were driving around northern Virginia all weekend. While my mother and the realtor were chatting away in the front seat, I was pouting and becoming more and more frustrated in the back seat. Finally I just shouted out “I’m NOT moving twice” (which I would have had to do if we didn’t find a house that I could move into on short notice).  Within 20 minutes (all of which was driving) we found the perfect house! It was a model so all the utilities were hooked up and everything was ready to go and no one had to move. I could inhabit the house the NEXT DAY! That was the power of my emotions. I was letting the Universe know that I had made up my mind and it better listen. The vibration I sent out was phenomenal and powerful. The Universe listened and delivered my desire.

I think this is one way that violence and how it perpetuates so quickly. Think of the power behind the rage one or more people exhibit. This emanates out to the Universe and attracts others with the same degree of vibration. It becomes a chain reaction. More and more folks are drawn into the grouping of hating people. And you know what? The rage and hatred does NOT have to be about the same thing. It’s the emotion, not the target. So, if you’re a person with a lot of hate or anger and you’re within reach of this energy field, you’ll be drawn into it in order to express your own rage, no matter how you really feel about the original person’s “cause”. This is why it’s so dangerous and spreads so vehemently.

Examine your emotions and use the positive ones to bring you the goodness you desire.  Harness your own power and let the windmill (the Universe) bring you what you want. Along those same lines, though, be careful about the things you are putting your emotions into. If you’re struggling with something whether it be debt or relationship or health issues, do NOT put the emotional energy into them – not even into “not wanting” this. What you focus on is what you’ll get more of. Focus on something good that’s coming out of the experience, something you’re learning perhaps. Use each experience to help you concentrate on the good and charge your emotional vibration.

Gratitude Leads To Gold

gratitude leads to goldI talk about gratitude frequently but in our hectic day and age, it always is good to be reminded of the benefits of gratitude.

What you give out comes back 10 fold – this can also be regarding “bad” stuff (however you define “bad”) so make sure you’re not sending out vibrations for the Universe to return 10 fold.

If you develop only one metaphysical habit, it should be to list your gratitudes every single day. I recommend you use the free software I offer – the Gratitude Journal. But if you don’t choose to use a software program that’s fine too. You can use a notepad (electronic or paper) but the important thing is to do it every day. At the end of each day you should list 3-5 things you’re grateful for that have happened in your life. Also make it a habit to express gratitude for 3-5 things you “know” are going to come your way in the future. This is one of the fastest ways to make things happen.

Make a commitment to do your gratitudes every day for the next 30 days just to see if there is a difference in your life. I bet there will be. Your vibration will be so much higher and it won’t take hardly any effort to get back up to a high vibration gratitude - go to bedshould things start to turn the wrong way. Sitting at a very long traffic light? Starting to get irritated because “you’ve got places to go and things to do”? Start saying your gratitudes and concentrate on the things that are going to come to you. Before you know it, the light will change and you’ll be on your way feeling much happier.

Things not going well at work? Start your gratitudes. It’s amazing what a calming power saying your gratitudes has. It turned my life around 10 years ago when I was getting ready to retire from the Navy and move to San Antonio. I was experiencing such anxiety and couldn’t find a house and was so scared. I was to the point where I was going to give up and not retire at that point even though it was what I really wanted. So, on my next to last night, as I lay down to go to sleep, I decided to say my gratitudes and just started with being grateful for my parents, my brother even though estranged, my health etc. And when I ran out of them, I just started over. The next morning I woke up calmer than I think I ever had been. The result – I found a house that was totally perfect and was essentially filled with the components I had either had in my other houses (the components that I loved) or that I had envisioned. The funny part is that for “normal” people, the layout of this house would most likely have been a turn off. But to me, it had everything set the exact way I wanted it. Totally amazing. But what I do know is that the Universe heard me being grateful for everything I had and it gave me back all of that many times more than 10 fold.

Try it, I promise you’ll see a difference!
