“Momentum really is the most important aspect of deliberate creation that you could consciously contemplate. Because what momentum says is: Once you get going in that direction, it is more likely that you will continue in that direction.” ~Abraham  Excerpted from: Orlando, FL on January 11, 2014

This Abraham quote follows quit nicely with yesterday’s post. Remember how I mentioned that the more you worry, the more pain you’ll experience as well as the more worried you’ll become. This is all about  momentum. When you are at the top of a hill and push and push against a boulder, it’s hard to get that thing moving. But once you get it going down the hill, the momentum keeps it going down the hill and it’s nearly impossible to stop it due to the force it accumulates. The same goes with worry. Once that worry has started down the hill it keeps gaining more and more momentum. You worry more and more and as a result, the Universe brings you what you’re focusing on – more worry (or pain or whatever thing you’ve given momentum to).

See if, instead, you can get the momentum started in a positive way. Declare things good. Just know that they will be good – they will eventually demonstrate that they were the right things to happen in your life.

The minute you start to think something is bad or not so good, stop pushing that boulder, stand back and think how you can turn your thoughts and feelings around!

Have a great week!

“As you look for a better-feeling way to approach whatever you are giving your attention to; as you continue to ask yourself from your ever-changing vantage point, “What is it that I do want?”… Eventually you will be standing in a very pleasing place—for you cannot continually ask yourself what it is that you do want without your point of attraction beginning to pivot in that direction. The process will be gradual, but your continued application of the process will yield wonderful results in only a few days.”  ~Abraham   Excerpted from: Money and the Law of Attraction on August 31, 2008

This quote from Abraham is a good one for you to remember to focus on what you do want. It’s the contrast vs clarity concept. If you’re not feeling well, ask yourself what you DO want. Believe it or not, some people do not necessarily want to get better. There are advantages for them to say unwell. But the majority of people do want to be better.

1. Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle.  On the left hand column put the word “contrast” and on the other column label it “clarity”.
2. Write down the things you’re not happy with on the left hand side (contrast). Just list them for now.
3. Once you’re finished with listing the items under the Contrast side, you can dig deeper and list why you aren’t happy with them. What are they keeping you from doing or feeling.
4. Now that you’ve dug a bit deeper, move over to the “Clarity” side. Here’s where you will have to take some time.
5. Ask yourself what you want instead of the item on the left hand side
   • Why do you want that (“so that I can……”)
   • What will be different in your life if you have what you do want.

                    ***This may not be as easy as it appears. There are feelings and desires in this process. You really are going to examine why         you want what you say you want. You may surprise yourself.

After you have listed the things you want on the right hand side you’ll be able to make your affirmations and know what it is you want to concentrate on. This fits quite well with your script for the new year. If there is something in your script that you’ve now realized you need to change, go change your script. This is a valuable part of the creation of your new year, new life.

Try these steps. When you focus on what you do want, your vibration increases and you’ll be able to tell the Universe what to work on for you.

Remember, the “better feeling way” too.. This means try to move up on the emotional scale. For example, anger is higher on the emotional scale than depression.  It’s not what one would think of when you say “better” feeling but it really is. Anger involves movement of energy inside you whereas depression doesn’t. So, when you’re angry, you can then work on moving up to another level even if you do so slowly. Always try to do something that feels better, no matter how slight.

Use this short quote to guide your week this week. Whenever you start to complain or think that something wouldn’t have happened had Joe Blow done this or not done that or if this circumstance hadn’t happened, etc, immediately think of this quote. Switch your thinking around. Either stop the chain of thinking totally and recognize that “things happen” and no one is necessarily at fault or you can use the “I declare it good” affirmation and even add to it “I declare it good and see the remedy” right now!

“Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.” ~ Joseph Brodsky

What a great thought for this time of year! But it’s an even better thought for, let’s say May 7th or maybe even August 12th. The point being – it’s what we should do every day of the year.

Do you realize that our human connections are really all we have. Why do you think they have such as punishment as “solitary confinement”? If we didn’t need human connection to thrive then “solitary confinement” wouldn’t be that big a deal, would it?

Every single day make sure you do something special with someone human. You can’t hug your computer or your cell phone – although if you watch people while you’re out you’d think that people were married to their phones. When you’re out, try to make eye contact with people, not “ear contact” with your phone. It never surprises me that we see episodes of violence against people because the electronic dependency has successfully kept us from having to interact with people.

What can you do that shows you cherish your relationship with your friends and family. Can you call them? Can you write a card? Even an email – just say “hi, thinking of you” or something that shows you care.

The more love you give out, the more you’ll have to be grateful for and the more you’re grateful, the more you’ll receive from the Universe. So it’s a win-win situation for everyone!

Celebrate but do it with other humans!!!

“Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.”  ~ Maya Angelou

This is a great quote to begin the Christmas season (this is the beginning of Advent after all).

We are all so wrapped up in what’s going on around ourselves that we really ought to take time and step back to see what’s going on in other people’s lives. You might be surprised. You might also be able to make a significant difference in their lives.

People frequently don’t want others to know that they are going through difficulty or that hard times have befallen them. But, if you pay attention and if you know the person at all, you will be able to tell. It’s obvious in their demeanor and behavior. They don’t smile as often. They don’t stand as straight and tall as usual.  If it’s  coworker, maybe there’s a change in their reliability or promptness.

Take a good look around you. Being nice to someone is really very easy. And you don’t need to worry that maybe you’ve read them wrong – being nice is not predicated upon someone being bad off. It’s good to be nice to people no matter what!

The whole idea is to open your eyes and search your peripheral vision. Take off the blinders and look all around you as the Holidays approach. Give someone a dollar if they’re asking for it. Reach out. Pick a charity you want to support this holiday so that others may do some good. What can you give up (a cup of coffee or two perhaps) so that someone could have a meal. Don’t laugh. Often it doesn’t take much more to feed someone. Every penny, every dollar makes a difference.

When I was in New York in October (and then again in DC later that month) I became really interested in the homeless population. I could never fathom sleeping on the streets in the cold and wet, not knowing where my next meal was coming from, not knowing where to attend to private issues. It’s something we should NEVER allow to happen in our country. We give so much money and aid to other countries while we have desperate people lying right outside our city buildings in great need. Why does this happen? Why can’t we be a rainbow in their clouds.  I feel very drawn to this cause but am not sure how to make a significant difference. But, I digress sort of. Sorry.

Take this time to change your sight. Expand it and open up your life and the life of many others.

As you continue working on your 2015 inventory, think about this saying. I know it’s had meaning for me. But, I have to believe that things are falling into place even when I can’t see what that place is.  I think that’s the problem. We always want to be able to see what’s coming up so we can decide if it’s what we want or not…That’s kind of funny as I write it. That approach is NOT one of faith, nor does it say we have much confidence in our ability to work with the Law of Attraction.

This saying fits quite well with “Everything always works out for me” because if I know that everything is always going to work out for me, then I know that no matter what is happening, it is for the good. It is falling into place. It may not be a place I predicted but remember that when we place our order we should NOT be outlining – outlining is telling the Universe how we want something to occur. Our job is just to “place our order” and then let the Universe find the best way to deliver it. Often times, we don’t do a very good job of “placing our order” – maybe this is  a good time to briefly review what you have to do to get the order actually placed in the Universal Catalog.

• Decide what it is you actually want. Sometimes this is easier to do by simply listing what you don’t want and then describing the opposite. Make sure that it resonates with you deep inside.
• Be specific about what you want – go into great detail (this is one of the reasons I’m having you write your script for next year – so you can list the details). For example, you can’t just say you want a “lasting relationship” or an “intimate relationship” because you could have either of those with an abusive criminal or someone who hates everything you like.
  • Write out the specifics and go into the greatest detail you can.
  • Always end with “this or something better”
• Read the list over again and make sure it’s really what you want.
• Do NOT allow yourself to be swayed. When you do that, you’ll never get what you want.
• Do NOT doubt that you’ll get what you’ve asked for – no matter how long it seems to take (remember the Law of Gestation).

Place your 2016 order now!

“Impatience is a sign of hurrying, hurrying is a sign of worrying, worrying is a sign of fear, and fear is a sign that someone has temporarily forgotten that it’s never too late to change their thoughts and, therefore, their ‘things.'”

It’s funny how the Universe likes to play ping-pong with us, trying to get us to slow down and pay attention. It bounces a ball toward us and  if we don’t “get it” and make an appropriate move, it repeats the same motion – only this time in a different direction. It behooves us to realize that we are being sent a message and stop in order to process what the message is. I can tell you from experience that if you don’t slow down (stop hurrying) and listen up, more “stuff” will be sent your way. It’s as if the Universe is realizing that it has to hit you over the head to get you to realize that you’re missing something.

When we feel calm, there should be no worry or fear. If you make vows to change your thoughts, then you’ll be able to slow down.  Remember the law of gestation, though. You have to realize that some changes take more time than others and there is not much you can do about that. But the one thing you have to do is NOT give up because whatever you’re looking for didn’t happen to come your way in the exact time frame you want. That’s where many people go wrong. They give up too soon. Your job is just to change your thoughts and keep your vibration on the right plane so matter how long it takes. Do NOT question the amount of time that seems to go by without the results you’re hoping for.

For the past almost 5 months now I have been focused on NOT being able to run. Even with my experience in metaphysics I didn’t realize what I was doing. First, I was creating more lack (lack of running ability) so, of course, my body couldn’t heal properly to get me back out there. Secondly, my inappropriate focus was bringing more problems that I couldn’t figure out. At least I was savvy enough to know that there was some message in all of this but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out that message. Until this past week when many things seemed to come down at one time.

As a result of a very scary week, I finally realized that I was bringing all this stuff into my life. I also realized what’s important to me – helping other people is my main purpose in life. That can be done in several ways but I must concentrate on that. And since I want to be able to help others, I have to be healthy. So, I have to change my thoughts and feelings to align with health. I was not doing that. I was too “worried” and “impatient” about what WASN’T happening in my life.

Things change and I know that “everything always works out for me”. I just have to stop trying to be in control of everything (i.e. the timeline for my recovery). Always remember the Law of Gestation in conjunction with the Law of Attraction. People don’t usually talk about the other Universal Laws. That is a mistake. The Law of Attraction is not the only law. Everything has to be in concert when you’re working with the laws.

Is there anything going on in your life that is trying to send you a message? Have you stopped to figure out what that message is? Why don’t you try it – especially as we come toward the end of the year. What has happened in your life this year and what has it been trying to tell you?

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”  Steve Jobs
Take this quote to heart. It’s fitting that I ran across this not too long after the movie about Steve Jobs was released. I haven’t yet seen the movie but I admire the man. And, perhaps this quote explains why. I do know that it’s changed the way I do things. I am not sure how long “too many days in a row” is but I now ask myself that every single day. And then I vow to do something about it in the next 24 hours. Somehow I do something different and something that is in alignment with what I want my life to represent. It may just be doing a random act of kindness (or an intentional act of kindness). That’s pretty simple isn’t it?

Try this every morning for at least a week and see how your life changes.

If you’re going through a bad time right now, this saying is for you.

Can you look back on your life and examine any time where it seemed as if everything was falling apart but things ended up being better than they ever were before. During the crisis you thought that your world was ending and you’d never be happy or have anything again. But, often, after months or even years, you’re happy again. What’s up? How did that happen? Somehow you made it through the rough times and were able to make the most of the situation. As you were experiencing it, you were able to express to the Universe what you really wanted, put emotion into it and the Universe delivered.

Often when you are faced with dire circumstances, your brain waves get you going in the direction of yelling out (figuratively and often literally) what you really want. This is in contrast to the moping and concentrating on the lack in your life. You turn the corner, even if it’s for just a few seconds and shout it out that you want abundance – abundance of whatever you’re missing (love, friendship, peace of mind, money, work, etc). In that moment, you are concentrating on the good and stating what you want. Believe me when I say that the Universe listens when you put all that emotion into it. It perks up because it’s hearing something different from you and it immediately begins to “fill your order”. It begins working to bring you what you really want. Often, that moment in time is a turning point for you and you may not even realize it. You’re able to make it through all the bad times because you’ve realized (even it only subconsciously) that you don’t want the bad stuff, but you want the good stuff. Now that is what you’re going for – and you vow to not quit until you get that. If you can hold that focus, then you’re all set. The Universe will bring it to you pretty quickly (remember the Law of Gestation, though. Everything has it’s own time to come to you).

Try to remember this when you are considering going back into the slump you were in before. Remember to reach for a better feeling thought. That doesn’t mean you have to be PollyAnna but you can just try to think something a bit better. This is where diversion is often helpful for getting to that better feeling thought. You can also remember that the Universe will bring you what you’re asking for and if you continually vacillate from wanting the positive to lamenting your lack, then the Universe is like a warehouse attendant that takes something off the shelf to fulfill an order and then has to put it back up there when the order is changed. And on and on.

Keep the “ordering” process in mind no matter how bad things get and adamantly state what you want – and what you really do deserve!
