Positive Thinking Doesn’t Work……By Itself

by

picking_your_brainWhat you are vibrating is often different from what you’re saying or “thinking”. You can say all the positive things you want, affirmations in every sentence…but unless you’ve cleared the land (gotten rid of all the negative stuff in your belief system), the affirmations’ effect will be minimal or if you see a result then it most likely will be temporary.

Your vibrations are based on your feelings. Although affirmations and positive thinking can give you a temporarily improved feeling so that you think you’re doing everything correctly, reality is that you still have that underlying anxiety about the lack in your life. Why is that still there? Because you didn’t identify your limiting beliefs and then work to clear them out, replacing them with new beliefs.

Every time you say an affirmation such as “I am prosperous and wealthy”, your soul feels the contradiction between the words and the feeling “I don’t deserve to be prosperous” or “all prosperous people are greedy”  or “money is the root of all evil” etc. When there are these contradictory thoughts and feelings inside of you, your vibrations bounce back and forth like a ping pong ball. Nothing can come from that except more confusion and sensation of lack. You feel confused and clumsy and when saying the affirmations (or doing other types of positive thinking), you feel worse than before but you can’t identify the reason. You’re still stuck in the lack belief/vibration and that’s what rules your results.

This is why so many people say that positive thinking or the Law of Attraction “doesn’t work”.

It will work but not by itself. You have to obey the other Universal laws and work on getting rid of your limiting beliefs.

Can you think of any situations where this has occurred in your life? Let us know by putting it in the comment box.

Don’t Revert to Worry Just Because You Think “It Doesn’t Work”

by

s332Frequently people give up too soon when they are trying to get what they have asked for. For some reason, people have decided when “long enough” is actually long enough. They have nothing to base that opinion on when it comes to manifestation and subsequent materialization. But despite that fact they still make their own decisions. We have talked about the Law of Gestation and how the Universe has its own time frames for delivering what you’ve asked for. However, I think it’s that we are so used to instant gratification and simply “expect” special delivery for everything.

This goes along with our recent discussion about not outlining or not telling the Universe HOW it should deliver what you’ve asked for. Same thing applies to telling the Universe WHEN it should be delivered to your doorstep. Determining WHEN you need it is also considered outlining.

Unfortunately when people stop believing something is going to come to them because it hasn’t arrived yet, they revert to thinking about the lack and absence of it – right back to where they were before they chose to believe it could actually happen. At that point, the concentration on not having received it yet puts you back into a position of low vibration – that of lack. This happens because you’re now thinking “I’ll never get this. I knew I wasn’t good enough or didn’t deserve it. The Law of Attraction may work for everyone else but not for me.”

What’s happened in that sentence (thought/feeling of disappointment and discouragement) is that you’ve begun to focus on the lack in worry2your life – again. So, you’re back to where you were to begin with but maybe a bit lower because you had some hope and then it seems as if the rug was pulled out from under your feet.

So what the heck should you do? Tell yourself that you were trying to beat the Law of Gestation and do a form of outlining (by adding the WHEN to the request). Realize that you have no business making those specific demands. Just believe that it will be delivered when it’s supposed to be delivered and it WILL be at the right time. Even though  you think you have a specific deadline, let’s say, to receive a certain amount of money, let that go and realize that if you’ve asked for the correct thing, you will have it in the right time frame. You may need to re-examine the way you’re asking for something. Maybe you won’t say “I want $5000.00 by 1 October 20xx”. Would this be as accurate but give more latitude to the Universe?: “I will have the mortgage payment taken care this month and every month”.  This allows the Universe find someone (or some way) to provide you who will pay the mortgage for you. Or maybe someone who will take care of other bills you have, providing you with your own money that could pay the mortgage. Perhaps you might get a great offer for refinancing your house. It is always possible that your mortgage company will allow you to take a month off for the payment. Anything is possible with the Universe if you just allow it to work. You are NOT in charge of the How or the When, just the What…and then you have be willing to accept whatever you’re brought knowing that it is part of your materialization even if it looks strange and doesn’t seem to “fit in with” your idea of how things should be. Remember that your view is limited. You only use a very small portion of your brain power so how could we possibly know the best way that the Universe should operate.

So, the silly song “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” is actually true. Don’t worry and don’t revert to the negativity or lack that you were mired in before you thought you’d try to change. Stay positive and remember that there are more governing rules in our lives than just the Law of Attraction. When something doesn’t seem to be working, there may be more to the story than you realize.

If you’ve had this experience or are having it right now, talk about it in the comment box and we’ll see if we can help.

Momentum Monday

“I try to be grateful for the abundance of the blessings that I have, for the journey that I’m on and to relish each day as a gift.”

~James McGreevey

I had another post planned for today but then I read this quote and had to use it based on what’s going on in my life right now. 

When you read this,  it’s simple. Applying it every minute of every day requires remembering it and merely looking around you and saying “I am grateful for……”. In our lives it really is pretty easy to fill in the blanks.

Even if you’re hurting or feeling down, there is something to be grateful for, something you have in abundance. It all depends on your definition of abundance I suppose. But most of us experience so much abundance that we then take it for granted. Look around you. Do you have a roof over your head (even if it leaks)? Do you have a refrigerator and is there food/drink in it? Do you have a closet? What’s in it? Do you have heat and/or A/C?

These are things that we take for granted every single day. But when we’re feeling down or not as good as we’d like, then we need to look around and just spotting some of these indicators of abundance and expressing our gratitude to the Universe for them. That will make you feel better if you keep doing it enough. It worked for me.

Try it this week and see what happens.

Outlining Is For Documents

by

Ondont outline2e of the most common reasons I see that the Law of Attraction “doesn’t work” is that folks not only make decisions about what they want but also about HOW it’s to come to them.

You’ve heard the story Anne used to tell which so exemplifies this. There was a woman who would come into the church and tell Anne she needed $10,000 so she could have surgery for a medical issue she had. Anne would repeatedly tell her that she shouldn’t be asking for the money but should want health (notice it’s not “healing” – if you think of healing, then you are thinking about illness and focusing on the illness). She told the woman that the Universe would figure out how to deliver health to her. The woman kept insisting that she needed the money so she could have the surgery.

Several months went by and Anne didn’t see the woman until one day in a grocery store. She came running up to Anne and told her that she was healthier than ever. Anne asked what happened. The woman told her that a new doctor had come to town and had treated her with a new medication that had completely taken care of her problem. Anne is nice so she didn’t say “I told you so.”  The bottom line is that the Universe knew the best way to take care of the woman.

It’s so important that you put your energy into WHAT you want, not how it’s going to get here. That is called “outlining” and the Universe may have a much quicker and easier way to get you what you want. If you’ve specified the exact way you want something though, the Universe will try to provide that and it might actually take a lot longer than if you just let the Universe work its magical action.

That’s it for today. Just remember to stop after you’ve said what it is you want.
