Tuesday Tip – 17 Seconds Sets The Universe Into Action

If you hold a feeling (vibration) for 17 seconds, the Universe speeds into action.

If you hold it for 68 seconds, you have manifested what you’ve been feeling/thinking/vibrating.

Manifestation is different than materialization. When you manifest something, the Universe has created it for you.

Materialization brings it into physical matter. So that will take more than 68 seconds. That’s where the Law of Gestation comes in.

Just know that you have created what you’ve been thinking about (whether it’s wanted it or unwanted) if you obsess about something for 68 seconds.

Momentum Monday

With summer coming (or finally here for some) let’s enjoy it and not start complaining about how hot and humid it is for another few months or so, ok? 🙂

Sorry, couldn’t help that because we’ve had such a long winter and people have been complaining (including me) about how cold it is and how long and drawn out the winter has been.

But we humans frequently have a very short memory and after it’s been hot for a few weeks (or days in some instances), we forget that it wasn’t very long ago that we were wearing 10 layers of clothing to keep warm and building muscles shoveling snow.

Unfortunately, our short memory extends to other aspects of our life. We tend to forget how great things have been and focus only on what’s going “wrong”. It’s really our responsibility to find those “Kodak Moments” and burn them into our memory for future use.

When you wake up in the morning before you get out of bed, find something satisfying and enjoyable to think about so that you can develop your momentum on a high plane (a high flying disc as Abraham would say). Think about your pillow, about your bed, about how comfortable and special you feel just lying there in bed. Don’t reach too deeply. Don’t even reach for someone next to you because that’s liable to remind you of something that happened yesterday that could bring your momentum down.

Sleep halts your momentum. It quiets your mind just as meditation does. That’s what you want in order to start up momentum the way you want it. You want to start over in a sense. Since your mind has been quieted and the momentum engine has been shut down, you can put the key in the ignition and start a new, beautiful and satisfying momentum up in the morning. When you get out of bed see how long that high flying momentum lasts. Initially it might not be very long at all. But if you keep practicing this every morning, after a few weeks or a month or so, you’ll be amazed at how it carries you through the day.

Try it tomorrow when you first wake up.

Tell us in the comment box what it is you’re using for your momentum builder – your pillow, your bed, what?

When “But” Is a Good Thing

butMost of the time we think that “but” is a 4 letter word (minus one). It can follow something good and end with something not so good – “you did a great job, Joe….but next time why don’t you do this or that”.  That kind of “but” negates everything that went before it. I bet that you cringed when you even read  the word “but”. Fess up – to yourself anyway.

We often wait for the “but” to drop so to speak. We are so conditioned that someone is going to tell us what we did wrong that we don’t even hear the compliment because we’re waiting for the ‘but’.

But  (sorry, couldn’t resist) today I want to tell you that there is a “but” that is a good thing. In order to use it effectively you have to listen all the way through. Listen to yourself that is. “But” is the easiest way for you to determine your limiting beliefs. I find it hard for folks to realize they have any limiting beliefs because such thoughts are so engrained in them that they don’t even realize they are beliefs. To them these thoughts are “Truth”, no question, no doubt. Remember, though, that a belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again. So how on earth can you identify that they are limiting beliefs? By using the power of “but”.

You’ve probably heard the naysayers out there who claim that affirmations are useless and they don’t help you achieve your goals. In some ways these people are correct. You have to clear the land before you can start to build again. The affirmation is the building. There are many ways to clear the land. There are denials, there is EFT, there are many different techniques for clearing your mind and presenting fertile ground for the affirmations to take hold.

Today, though, I want to show you how to use the affirmations to identify your limiting beliefs.

First, make a list of what you want. For example, “I have increased my income by 50% in the past six months”.

Say the affirmation out loud.

Pause at the end of the statement. Is there a “but” (or a “yeah but”)? If so, what follows the but? That is your limiting belief.

Write down all the statements/thoughts following the “but”.

Ready For Take Off: Stop Spinning Your Wheels

single_rocket_graph_takeoff_400_clr_14298I want you to get yourself going – in some direction! Although this could be considered to be about stopping procrastination, that’s not my intent today.

I know that I often will spin my wheels and not be procrastinating. In fact, I’m working very hard when I’m spinning my wheels. But the problem is that I’m trying this and trying that and can’t seem to make up my mind which direction I want to follow. Can’t figure out which is the “right” direction. So, I end up spending a lot of time and energy not really accomplishing anything and then even more time and energy worrying about spinning my wheels and not knowing what to do…..Catch 22 for sure.

The most recent example I can think of was when I was trying to figure out what book to start with.  I had two ideas and I would go back and forth between each of them. I’d try to figure out the pro’s and con’s of each and whether this would “sell” or be “useful” or would the other be more so. You can probably imagine the paralysis I was inflicting on myself. Like a backyard swing – back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And I didn’t get anywhere at all. It was frustrating as well as non-productive.

So one day after doing EFT and some meditation to quiet my mind, I decided to just write and not worry about what book it would go in. That let everything loose and I accomplished so much just by listening to my inner being. I still have another decision to make once I’ve gotten to a stopping place but those decisions can wait.

I have a few favorite sayings and one of them is that “Everything is always working out for me!” I even have that on a timer on my phone.  At certain times during the day, the phone beeps and the saying pops up. What a great reminder for me that as long as I follow my gut, my inner source, everything WILL work out for me. What I had been trying to do was “control” the situation. I was focusing on BOTH what I wanted and what I didn’t want. I wanted the book to be successful. Of course, that’s kind of hard to achieve if you haven’t written it yet – duh. But, at the same time I was also focusing on what I didn’t want. How? By trying to do a pro AND con list. Every time I thought about a con, I was actually concentrating on the things I didn’t want. You can never get to the solution while you’re in the “problem” mode. The vibrations and feelings you have when you think about problems are totally different than when thinking about solutions and they do NOT mix. I was focusing on the problem and not allowing the solution to come to me until I quieted my mind. That enabled my mind to open up so the solution could come in.
