Given how things have gone for me in the past few months, I probably should also caveat this with “Be careful what you wish for”.  When the Law of Attraction works extremely well in you life (as it does in mine), you often get what you want very quickly – often you haven’t taken enough time to be specific about what you want.

Whatever you ask for, you will manifest. Most of us, however, have passing thoughts like “oh, I’d like that”, or “that would be nice in my living room” – you know, the window shopping syndrome. The Universe will actually manifest each thing you ask for, each and every time. So why aren’t our houses and lives filled like a version of “Hoarding”? Because there is a difference between manifesting and materializing. The Universe manifests everything we ask for but in order for that to materialize in our life we have to allow it in and be ready to receive it. When it’s a passing thought, there isn’t enough focus or desire for it to materialize in your life. You know how we say “act as if” and “focus on having what you want”. Think of it as you putting a homing beacon out for the UPS truck to make it to your door. If you’re on and off about something, then it’s as if the truck is zig zagging around your city or neighborhood instead of making it straight to your house.

This is a good thing for us because often we’ll make quick remarks as a result of some emotional event/situation. And when we say something like “I wish you were gone”, you don’t really mean it but you’ve shouted it out to the Universe! Fortunately this is a temporary feeling/thought and it’s not something you really want to happen.

Once you identify something you really want, don’t leave it at that. Go back and be specific. Define what it is you really want – what color is it, how big or small do you want it, what other parameters are you desiring. This is easy (if you remember to do it) for physical items, but it’s as critical, if not more, with the non-physical items – often because we can’t envision all of the aspects involved. Let me give you my personal example which will make you chuckle. I was feeling “left out” at work with the new “regime” (I really need to learn to like change..ha ha) and wished I was more involved with the new president. Now for the funny part and I am not complaining because I did get what I wanted and I know that I can refine it to be more manageable. I am now constantly occupied with the new president and helping out and talking, reviewing, etc. In addition, I was wanting more people to ask me questions. Now, my office is like a revolving door.  I really am enjoying it because I love to teach and guide BUT (there’s always a ‘but’ if you don’t get specific enough) I can’t get any of the other work done that I have to. You see, all I did was make the two statements – I wanted to be more involved with the president and I wanted more people to ask me questions. I never went any further. There were many ways I could have arranged for everything to happen had I just taken the time to be specific.  I could have said I want the president to consult with me for a finite period of time (I would need to say what that finite period was) or in segments, etc. I could have specified that people ask me questions in the afternoon between 1 and 3 but that it’s just what they do, not that I put out the word that they can only do it then. Why not make it so that the Universe guides them to only have questions during that time rather than me mandating it.

There are many aspects to consider. Make yourself a list of characteristics or parameters you should address when being specific about something. If you’ve made that list ahead of time, then when you’re ready to ask for something, you’ve got the checklist right in front of you. Just remember to be specific.

Here’s some examples:

For a physical wish:

• What is it you want
• What color do you want
• What size/shape/model do you want (31 x 32 x 24 inches for example, or midsize, compact etc)
• Where do you want it to fit?
• What kind of maintenance do you want it to require or to pay for?
• Just think of the characteristics you want and list them all.

• For a non-physical wish:
• What is it you want
• Is it work related, home life, relationships, all of the above – be specific about which part of your life you want it to occur in
• When (which part of your day, week, month etc) do you want it to occur
• How should people approach you
• How often should it happen (occur)
• How long should an encounter last (if pertinent)
• Who do you want to interact with

Remember that when dealing with people you can also augment your list and make your wish come true faster by using the Book of Positive Aspects and the Rampage of Appreciation.

All these techniques and laws work together. Just remember to be specific or “be careful what you ask for”.

Have  a great week!

“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.

No, this doesn’t mean you have to pack up and move your house and all your belongings! But there are things you can do to alter your environment and remove the toxic effects.

Those things that surround you continue to influence you 24 hours a day. What you are exposed to is absorbed constantly by your subconscious mind. Then your subconscious mind affects your vibrational frequency.  And we all know that it’s your vibrations that determine what you really attract via the Law of Attraction – regardless of what you “say” you want. It’s all about vibration and feeling.

No matter how positive you try to be or how many affirmations you say, if your subconscious mind is constantly bombarded by the opposite – complaints, unhappiness, discontent, disarray, rumors, gossip, etc – your subconscious will rule your being more than your conscious mind.

This is a typical scenario for those who say the Law of Attraction doesn’t work for them. You want happiness and joy but when you examine their your routine, you find out that you hang out around the office water cooler, listen to people complain all day about this and that or talk about what they don’t have that others do (resentment and envy). “Life’s not fair”, “I don’t have any luck”, “I never get anything”, etc etc etc.

Do you watch the news every night? Are you glued to CNN or MSNBC? When was the last time you saw or heard a half hour of positive happenings in the world on the evening or night time news? People want to hear about crime and blood and guts for some reason. The world doesn’t appear to be interested in good things that happen throughout the world even though awesome events occur all the time. So what happens when you’re exposed to all the news about crime and destruction and death and despair? That’s what seeps in to your subconscious mind and when that happens, your subconscious (which is not objective at all and doesn’t know good from bad) “assumes” that that is what you want more of. And guess what? It delivers……it delivers more and more of the bad stuff.

Do you have friends that are down in the dumps ALL the time, complaining about others, talking about poor me or how unfair life has been to them? If so, that is what you will attract more of…more misery and more friends that are living in lack. Do you want to be surrounded by lack and unhappiness? Really? Or is it because your friends like you and you’re happy that you have “friends” that care about you? Ask yourself this, though….do they really care about you? Would they be there for you if something bad happened in your life and they would have to stop wallowing in their problems to help you through yours? Try to answer this honestly. Now I am NOT talking about your friends that have legitimate concerns – serious injuries or illnesses that have had a tremendous impact on their lives. These are truly friends in need and those to whom you must devote as much attention as they need but also privately be seeing them as completely whole (not “healing” but completely whole – you do not want to visualize or see anything to do with healing because that then implies lack – lack of health and therefore illness and that is not what we want). I’m talking about the “friends” who are always having some sort of problem or crisis no matter what the situation. They can’t seem to exist without some sort of drama in their lives and they are trying to bring you into that drama – you do not want to be a part of that because it will lower your vibration and bring you down.

At work are there people who complain about everything, who don’t embrace any idea of change (I am not fond of change so this one is near and dear to my heart)? It’s one thing to not want to change or not be enthusiastic about it but quite another to be actively resisting it by trying to recruit other complainers and even embellishing the “hazards” of such change. Stay away from them and try to evaluate the recommendations on their own merit without the influence of others. And also without the influence of your past experience if you can do that (I’m still learning this one). One thing that will help with this is to use the Book of Positive Aspects for the person(s) who are instituting the change. Find the good things about them, write them down and see what happens.

Remember that the best way to see change in others is to change yourself. Then it doesn’t matter whether they have actually changed or you have – it’s what you experience that matters.

Take these steps to change your environment:

• Evaluate the areas of your life and what your level of happiness (or prosperity) is in that area – health, peace of mind, happiness, wealth, relationships, etc
• If you find an area that lacks what you wish, assess your environment and see if there are any influencing factors, both good and not so good:
• Write them down and determine if you enjoy having them in your life or not
• Assess what you can do to change the things you don’t like and what you can do to add more of what you do like
• Start your book of positive aspects and write in it every day
• Use the rampage of appreciation even when you’re in a situation when you’re not as happy as you’d like to be
• Practice using Segment Intending to create or pave your entire day and your interactions with people. You could use this to avoid interacting with the folks that aren’t as positive as you’d like…and using Segment Intending this avoidance occurs without you feeling guilty or without it appearing as if you’re intentionally avoiding someone. It just happens. Remember that the Universe will create what you are vibrating/feeling – so if you’re feeling happy and wanting to move along calmly (let’s say) during a meeting, it will bring events and situations that will be calm. If you’re stressed and anxious over something, you will create more havoc because that’s what you’re focusing on.

Try these things to alter your environment and remove whatever it may be that is bringing your vibration down!

Get a coach to help you too. Sometimes you need help getting out of the quagmire. A Coach will help you. Contact me if you want more information on coaching.

change your environment – let go of friends, news, water cooler, worry etc

The post Change Your Environment, Change Your Vibration first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

What ARE you thinking about right now? What are you feeling – this is much more important than what you’re thinking. You could be thinking that you have to go shopping today but even though you’re thinking this, you’re feeling depressed and lonely. Is your posture upright or slumped?  Try sitting upright right now and see if that changes how you feel. Take a deep breath and repeat that a few times.  Breathing deeply and having an upright posture will definitely improve how you feel and think.

Your momentum will be based on your attitude/feelings. And remember what I wrote about a few weeks ago – you CAN change your attitude. You can change how you feel. You may have to repeat a favorite affirmation several times or even use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) which I highly recommend. But find some way to think the way you want to feel. Pull up a Kodak Moment and focus on it.  That should at least make you smile. When you smile, you’ll find that your feelings change.

Write in your Book of Positive Aspects or your Appreciation/Gratitude journal. Look around you and see the beauty around you – I like to go outside and look at my cactus garden and see what new “sprouts” might have popped up.  For some reason I am not a flower person but really cherish my cactus (maybe it’s because there’s less effort involved). Looking at them and seeing how much they have grown makes my day. It’s a little thing and only involves me going outside and looking at these living objects and I’m happy. Even if that happiness is short lived,  it has put me onto a different plane and spun my momentum in a much better direction. If I pull up another Kodak Moment or start a Rampage of Appreciation (which is usually very easy to do because there has to be something around you that you appreciate), then my attitude and momentum go even further in the direction I want. There is no “right” or “wrong” momentum or attitude just as there are not really positive or negative emotions. What we consider to be a “negative” emotion is actually letting you know what you don’t want in life. It’s contrast showing you what you really want. If you’re depressed, you know you don’t want to be depressed, you want to be happier.  Once you recognize this and then remember that you control your thoughts, you can move up the emotional scale to head toward any somewhat happier emotion. You will move onto a different plane of momentum.

I’m not saying that becoming happy and joyful is necessarily easy but it is possible and is most likely easier than you even realize.  That’s why I continue to encourage you to create your Kodak Moments album in your head.

When you’re stuck and think there is no way to change your attitude and have tried everything I have recommended, consider getting a coach. A coach will help you identify ways to pull yourself out of that funk you think you’re in and improve your attitude/momentum. You really can do this but sometimes you need help.  Folks underestimate the power of a coach. If you’ve tried various ways to reach a higher plane and improve your thinking, you may need help. Remember that quote “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”.  If you continue to get the same results, ask for help. If you want to improve your life and reach for the stars but they have seemed just “out of reach” for you, a coach will give you the boost you need. A Coach will help you climb the stairway to your goal. Look at the sports teams that are stuck in the cellar (bottom of their sport) and all of a sudden a new coach is hired. They frequently will skyrocket to success. The new coach has helped them break out of their habits and enabled them to elevate their attitude and momentum.

Start with a Rampage of Appreciation. Look around you for something you think is “nice”. Then start elaborating on what you appreciate about either that thing or the things around it. Keep that going until you run out of things to appreciate and then move to something else similar to it and start appreciating it. Just keep going for at least 68 seconds if not more.

I want you to be happy. I want the best for you. All these posts are to help you realize you control your own life. I simply want you to take that control and do something with it that makes you happy!

Let me hear from you if you need more advice.

The post Check Your Attitude….And Your Momentum first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

Have you ever noticed that you’re in a great mood and then all of a sudden you plummet and the anger, frustration, or impatience just hits and BAM! you’re down in the dumps or at least on some other track?

This can happen so easily. You can spend a rewarding early morning with your spouse and kids or exercising and then head on to work. Even if you’re not running late when you get stopped at one of those traffic lights, you let it get to you. Then, with even “worse luck” you hit another red light or someone is driving slow in “your” lane….and on and on and on. It seems that one thing leads to another until, by the time you get to work, you’re in a foul mood. “Why me?” goes through your mind “What did I do today for this to be happening to me?”

Has this ever happened to you? It has me..and unless I catch myself, it’s one big spiral downward. But, if I catch myself, then things can be turned around so easily. How do I do that?

Once I recognize that I’m starting to percolate, I start to look inside for “Kodak Moments” and think about them. I find (in my mind and memory) people I love and care about, events that have made me laugh, jokes that people have told me, or I just look around and start doing a Rampage of Appreciation about the things that are around me. I see how smart people were that created the buildings in the area, how the roads have been structured and intersected, all the different cars that surround me, etc. In our wonderful country it’s never hard to find something to appreciate. It’s amazing how much we take for granted when it’s so easy to simply express appreciation to the Universe for us being able to live here and enjoy everything we have.  Doing a Rampage of Appreciation is the best way to receive more from the Universe – more good instead of the bad thoughts and feelings that were beginning to take over. When a train derails, first one car goes off the tracks and then the others follow in an uncontrolled manner. That’s what happens to us if we don’t pay attention. The key to all of what happens to us is focusing and changing our thoughts and feelings. We are not like trains. We CAN control what happens to the other “cars”. We can unattach the derailed cars from the rest of the train and keep the rest of it (us) on track (in a good vibration). We do NOT have to simply follow along with the derailed car, falling off the track without any control. That is what people who think that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work for them say. But, you know what? That first scenario I gave is the Law of Attraction in action. Once you start lowering your vibration and your thoughts turn negative (“darn, why did that light turn red just as I got here?” “Gees, how long is it going to take to turn green?” – notice the frustration mounting), more of the same follows. We are magnets and attract more of what we are focusing on. If we are focusing on dissatisfaction, frustration, anger or impatience, we will attract more situations that generate the same feelings in us.

But if we stop right there and start doing a Rampage of Appreciation or recalling Kodak Moments, guess what? We’ll get more of those.

We are able to control our thoughts – a big advantage over other creatures. Let’s use it and not let things happen to us in a seemingly random manner. Of course, it’s not random at all – it is the Universe bringing us more of what we’re paying attention to.

If you want your day to go great, start it off before you even get out of bed with Segment Intending. Plan each segment of your day. You can do this one segment at a time too. Plan your breakfast and early morning activities such as reading, writing, exercising etc. Then just before you leave for work, do Segment Intending for the trip – see yourself getting smoothly to work with all green lights and no traffic snarls. Once you get to work, before you get out of the car plan the first part of your day – how you want your work flow to go, how you want interactions with others to happen, etc. Keep that up for each individual segment each day.

Then at night, write in your gratitude/appreciation journal. Also use the Book of Positive Aspects to write the good things about people in your life!

Try this focusing for a few days (preferably at least a week) and see what happens in your life. Then let me know and if you’re not having success maybe I can hep you.

“What separates people that get what they want out of life from those people who do not get what they want out of life is their response to challenges.”
Dr. Steven G. Jones

Although I don’t believe this is the only thing that separates these two groups of people, it’s an extremely important point.

Think about yourself and how you respond to a challenge. Do you crawl up in a ball and want to die? Sometimes that’s ok initially. What’s not productive is when that behavior or thought process continues on and on and on. Do you get mad and decide that this is not going to beat you? That you’ll find a way to conquer the challenge, to climb up and over whatever obstacle is in your way? That is the way of the warrior, the person who excels at life.

Remember that there are two different vibrations at play when you are confronted with a problem. There is the vibration of the problem and if you continue to think about the “problem”, you will stay on that lower vibration and not move anywhere – you are focusing on the problem so that is what you’ll get more of. Maybe the problem won’t get worse but it won’t get any better either when your vibration remains on the problem.

You have to raise your vibration to the level of the solution – a much higher vibration. Instead of thinking about and focusing on the problem, concentrate on the solution. Tell the Universe you are ready to receive the answer and you know that it’s out there waiting to be delivered to you.

Think back to your past and think about when you’ve discovered a solution to something – what have you felt like when you’ve been in the process? Maybe take a look at a time at work when a problem has been identified. Everyone might respond with “oh nuts, what do we do now?” But then you all got your heads together and brainstormed until you figured it out. What kind of elation did you all feel? Use that as  “Kodak Moment” to elevate your vibration when you’re after a solution to your current problem.

I don’t even use the word problem once I’ve identified what it is. I think about how great it’s going to be when I come up with the solution to x, y, z – describing the situation if I must. Or preferably I use something that’s brief but objectively describes the situation. Then I go right back to looking for the solutions – opening my heart and mind to the Universe to deliver the answer to me.  I use some of the processes we’ve talked about – the 68 second process, rampage of appreciation and even the “wouldn’t it be nice if….”.  If you’re skeptical or it’s the first time, you can use “I’m in the process of….”

Next time you come across a challenge, immediately switch to the solution seeking mode and your vibration will automatically elevate with you! Try it, you’ll like it. Don’t dwell on the problem.  Move out and move up!

Let’s focus on appreciation this week. There’s always something in our lives that we can appreciate. Even if everything doesn’t seem like it’s going great right now, you can help change that momentum by focusing on appreciating what’s around you – or appreciating things that have happened in the past.

The idea is to build a momentum that you want by noticing the things around you that you are happy with and want to show the Universe that you’re so happy they are or were in your life.

One of Abraham’s processes is the Rampage of Appreciation. This is a great technique you can use at any time and no matter what your situation is at the time.

Even if you’re in the doctor’s office, waiting and not knowing what’s going on, you can find something in the immediate area to start doing your rampage with. If you just can’t dig up some current items, you can go into the past or even more fun and productive is to go into the future. Start saying that you are so appreciative that you have a great doctor, you have access to medical care, that you came in to get seen when you did and the doctor and the staff is going to take care of you no matter what. You’re appreciative of the modern office and even if it’s cold for you inside, you can be appreciative that it’s not hot and humid inside. Let’s say you’re embarrassed and cold because they put you in one of those flimsy paper gowns and you’re shivering. Start being appreciative that you’re not in Siberia or Alaska and that there is no wind. Be appreciative of the fact that you can feel the cold and you recognize that it’s cold. That means you have the mental capacity you want to have. Be appreciative of the clean room and the computers if there are computers in the office. Be appreciative that your doctor is on the cutting edge of medicine and knows exactly what’s going on with you and will fix you right up. Be appreciative that you have insurance. And on and on.

If you’re stuck in traffic, be appreciative of the technology that goes into traffic lights, be appreciative that you live in a city that has grown so much that there is traffic, appreciate the growth this represents, appreciate the music on your radio or the CD you’re playing, be appreciative of the other cars around you that are beautiful and you can see them better when you’re stuck in traffic because they are not moving and you can see them.

If you’re at work and busy, be appreciative of the fact that you have a job, that you don’t have to travel as far as some to get to work, that you’re getting paid, that you work with great people, that your both is understanding and kind and gentle (and if he or she is not, then be appreciative that he/she knows how to delegate), be appreciative of the benefits you have with the job, of the hours you work, etc.

Every time you praise something, every time you appreciate something, every time you feel good about something, you are telling the Universe, “More of this, please. More of this, please.” You need never again make another verbal statement of this intent, and if you were allowing your cork to float — all good things would flow to you.

—Abraham

Excerpted from the workshop: Silver Spring, MD on April 19, 1997

Get the gist? See if you can do at least one rampage of appreciation every day this week. When you do them, see what it does to your vibration and how you feel. Let us know. Write it in your journal too.

 We have all been devastated to a degree by the senseless shooting of innocent children (and adults) in Connecticut.  Parents, especially, may be feeling a deep sense of fear for their own children.

Perhaps it even brings back memories for you of a time when you were terrified….maybe memories of 9/11 or Columbine or any of the other tragedies that have seemed to increase in the past few years.

How can we process this event, not contribute to the negative aspects of it and yet not appear cold to others?

First of all, I think people will think what they want to think of you no matter what you do. So why not do what’s best for you and your family?

You know I talk about vibration all the time – this is key right now. You must do everything you can to raise your vibration and this will take some doing as the news media latches on to this tragedy. I realize they have a job to do but it should NOT be 24 hours a day, saying and showing the same thing over and over again.  We all know the facts – at least 20 children and 6 adults (I might be off on the numbers) were killed by a deranged young man who simply burst into school and started shooting. Do you really need to know any more than than? If you said yes, ask yourself “why” you need to know more than that.

If you said “so I can prevent it from happening again”, you are deluding yourself. By concentrating on its occurrence and focusing so much of the country’s (and the world’s) time, emotions and energy on this crisis we are all working to bring MORE of it into our lives.

We have to work to raise our vibrations and feel love and compassion for those involved. Do anything you can (meditate, pray, hold hands, hug, whatever works for you) to get into a place of peace. As you begin to feel inner peace, you’ll also begin to radiate it outward and that is what we all want to do. The more peace and love we can radiate out toward those affected, the more good we are doing for them, rather than the “virtual rubbernecking” that we’re doing by being tied to the TV news.

Why is this so important? If you have children or are around children, remember that they know what’s going on even if you try to hide things. They read your emotions, they “know” you, they “feel” you and your thoughts, feelings and vibrations.

Do you want them to feel your fear? Of course not. You want to reassure them in any way possible. Let them know that they are safe and loved and that those in Connecticut will be taken care of, be loved and will thrive as children do – if we let them.

If you start to hover or be over protective, they will pick up on your fear. They will then start to be afraid and yet not know why.

It it NOT cold or mean or unfeeling to try to raise your vibration. Use the Rampage of Appreciation to get in a better feeling place. Use the “Wouldn’t it be nice if…” technique as well. More importantly say your “gratitudes” (use your Gratitude Journal) and show the Universe how much you appreciate what you have. NO matter how bad things seemed yesterday morning for you, I bet they appeared not so significant when you heard the news. Do anything you can to move your thoughts to the positive. Think about how resilient children are and think of examples in your own family life – that should bring smiles to your face. Write them down. Better yet, start planning 2013 and determining your plans to achieve your desires in 2013. Figure out what your desires really are. Take time to think about them and solidify them. Use this time to take an inventory of where you are and where you were last year and how far you’ve come. Do anything to focus on the positive right now. Play with your kids but don’t cling to them.

Remember NOT to tell this story over and over again. Do not engage with others who just want to revisit the same old stuff. Find a way to move off from those who have to discuss it. Change the topic, excuse yourself and slip away. Do anything to tell a positive story – even if it has to be a silent one inside your head. Also remember the invaluable phrase “That is not my truth”.

Help the vibration of the world become positive so that the magnetic energy diverted to Connecticut can be healing and loving energy, not anger or fear.

Let me know if you’ve found a way to accomplish this.

The post Processing The Tragedy in Connecticut first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

 “Black Friday”. I don’t like that phrase – period. It has many connotations to me – what about you?

Anyway, though, it’s a day when everyone is out at the stores trying to get bargains on their Christmas (holiday) shopping. And they are not always very friendly when they are trying to get as many bargains in as many places as possible. People push and shove and aren’t very friendly – it’s all about them it seems. Sure, they couch it in “I’m trying to get gifts for my family” but it’s all about them – there’s nothing about the other folks in line.

Now is when you MUST practice gratitude/thanksgiving and do it pretty continuously if you’re out there with them. If you forgot to get your weekly supplies at the store and have to go today, practice your Rampage of Appreciation technique (I’ll talk about that in a minute) and see if that helps make your day go better. Although we only officially celebrate gratitude on one day (yesterday) we should be practicing gratitude EVERY DAY! Do you have your copy of the Gratitude Journal? Are you using it?

Did you know that gratitude is the quickest way to achieving all you want in life – the Universe responds to gratitude and appreciation more than it does to anything. The vibrations associated with gratitude are amongst the highest. And when you have high vibrations, you will attract the best to you. Make a practice of using your Gratitude Journal every day from now until Christmas and see if a) you’ve established a habit that will stick with you and b) what have you attracted in that time period – the more you record the better – it will also become your success journal. You’ll see the successes you have because you will be grateful for them and will write them down every day. That way, all you have to do is read through the journal to see how far you’ve come.

Now for the “Rampage of Appreciation” – this is a great process from Abraham-Hicks! Try this as you are standing in line at a store (you can use it any time, any place though). Look around you and find something you like. Then start talking (to yourself) about how beautiful it is and how great the improvements or changes are in the store etc. For example: “I really like the way they have decorated this year. That shelf is so neat and the surrounding area is really clean. Look at how they have matched the colors and put them in a cool green and red pattern for Christmas. Oh, and I really like the friendliness of that woman behind the register – no matter what is said to her, she’s always smiling and has a pleasant word. There are a ton of people in line and she’s not fazed in the least. She’s just so happy and friendly and seems to put everyone at ease. I notice a beautiful change in all the people in line as they get close to her. It’s as if she’s radiating the spirit of Christmas and happiness and joy. How could anyone NOT absorb that attitude. And the managers – how cool is it that they have Christmas badges and hats and don’t seem to be bothered by them – it helps them stand out for those needing their services but not appearing ostentatious…..” and you just go on and on and see how it changes the way you feel. The Rampage of Appreciation is something really fun to do and will change how you feel about things in your life!

So now – no matter where you are today, make sure you do at least one Rampage of Appreciation – comment below on how you did with it and what happened!

p.s. I find it hard to understand why the made “Small Business Saturday” the day after Black Friday when people will have spent much (if not most) of their allotted money the day before. Does that indicate lack of real support for Small Businesses and just giving it lip service? Something to think about.
