momentum-monday1“The qualities that you seek in a relationship will be important to you and it is important that you know what you want in a significant other so that you can use the Law of Attraction productively to attract your ideal relationship.” ~ Frank Mangano

We always tell you to make certain that you’ve made a list of the qualities and characteristics you DO want in a significant other. Don’t leave things to chance. Make certain that you actually use this wonderful Universal Law (the Law of Attraction). You use it by focusing and concentrating on what it is you do want – from a positive perspective – not what you do NOT want. The best way to do that is to make that list. And if you find yourself saying something like “I sure don’t want a guy who snores”, change it around to “I want a man who sleeps soundly and quietly”.

Do this with everything in your life! Make a list of what you want. Actually write it down so that there is more energy put into the desires. Then you can read that list over and over again and modify it as necessary – add to it, change the wording, etc. Make sure that it’s positive and an actual reflection of what you want. Sometimes reading what we wrote later is very helpful. You might go “what did I mean by that” or “whoa, that’s not what I really want” or something else.

Plus, when you read it over and over, it gets more embedded in your mind so there’s more there to focus on!

momentum-monday1“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”  ~John Homer Miller 1910-1944, Teacher

This is so applicable to me right now after my trek across Tennessee! It really is all about the attitude. There are so many things that could have gone better or that I could have done differently but what happened happened and I finished the event! My mind could look at a bunch of “failures” (‘I didn’t do this, I didn’t do that’, etc) but instead I choose to look at the fact that it really was a wonderful 10 days and I met so many beautiful people all along the way (and after I returned too). I am so glad I did it and I do not think that the lessons learned could have been learned in any other format.

It was 10 days essentially with myself and my thoughts. That is the longest I’ve ever spent with myself (not sure I’d recommend it to anyone else though..LOL). Up until the last day, the attitude I had despite the pain was that I was going to do this and I was so happy I had come as far as I had. If I had let things get me down, then I might have quit early. But I wanted to see all of this route across Tennessee and experience as much as I could. Even though I would have been at peace with stopping (that realization came about day 3 or 4), I wanted to continue. Despite the circumstances (what life brought me), my way of looking at what happened gave me joy and lessons to ponder. I do admit that I faltered on the last day but that is also part of the learning process. And it’s all about what I did with that information – I learned to accept help and take help and ask for help – brand new things for me! My mind was reformed in many ways during that 10 days. And hopefully those lessons will take.

Take some time and look at those who have significant problems or disabilities and see how they have approached life. What is their attitude? How are the faring? What can you learn from them? I love this lesson.

Thanks for all your support!

If you guide through anything other than your own example, it crosses over into the category of control. If you say, “This is what I’ve found that works for me, try it if you like.” That’s guidance. If you say, “This is what I’ve found works for me, and if you don’t follow it, you’re in trouble,” that’s control.

—Abraham

momentum-monday1“It will be most helpful if you change your thoughts and emotions about a negative situation as quickly as possible and feel confident that the Law of Attraction will help everything work out for the best.” ~Frank Mangano

This is another great quote that focuses on a few things, one of the most important of which is awareness. Awareness that you’re having negative thoughts and emotions.  Not everyone can eliminate all negative thoughts forever. But everyone really can change them once the realize they are having them. This is awareness. It’s a bit helpful if you do a review at the end of every day and then can recognized that you had negative responses to situations. You can then think of ways that you could maybe respond differently in the future. This is a good start.

But, it’s even better if you can become aware of your thoughts and emotions as they happen. Again, you may not be able to change them right away (this takes practice especially depending on the severity of the situation) but you can note when they happen. This would be another great start. As you continue to spot them, you’ll soon find yourself wanting to change them because you don’t like the way you feel when your emotions and thoughts are on the upswing and you’re not down in the dumps.

You’ll go about finding situations and people that will help lift you back onto the “better feeling” wagon until you can do it yourself with techniques such as  “Reach For A Better Feeling Thought” that Esther and Abraham talk about. The primary idea behind that is that you find some thought that’s better than the one you’re having right now – it does NOT have to be a happy thought, just a better one. You can go from depression to anger even and that’s a better feeling thought. Just try to move up on the emotional scale.

For now, just try to be aware when your thoughts are less than those that make you feel good. Practice that for several days (or it may take you weeks but that’s ok too). When you’re ready to move on, you will. And you will see great results as the Law of Attraction brings you even greater benefits!

momentum-monday1“Once you really start changing your negative thoughts into positive thoughts, the stress that you have in your life will start to diminish.” ~Dr. Steve G. Jones

Have you noticed this in your life? I have. It takes some  effort, though, to focus on your thoughts so that you can catch the negative ones and immediately change them into the positive ones. Often we don’t want to do that because it “feels” better to talk about what’s NOT going well in your life. After all, you have to work at it to make yourself notice what you are thinking, characterize these thoughts (whether they are positive or negative), make the commitment to do something about the negative ones and then put in the work to change the negative into positive. We can get backfired at any point along this line. And you need to put them all together to be successful here. You can get started by just noticing your thoughts. The next step is to characterize them into positive or negative. That would be a terrific beginning if you’d do it.

From there you can build on it and make a commitment to make a change. So, you notice yourself telling people one after the other that you’re not feeling all that great today – after all, they did ask “how are you?” and you don’t want to lie.

Remember, though, that every time you tell your story, it becomes embedded in your mind and your subconscious. You begin to believe it. And what happens then is that you begin to attract more of what you’ve been telling. So, if you’ve been telling people how bad you feel, you’re in that “bad” vibration and the Universe thinks that you want more of that because you’re focusing on it. Lo and behold, the Universe delivers more of what you’re focusing on – and you get more “feeling bad”.  You’ve heard people joke about how they’ve played a joke on someone by telling them how lousy they look and “are you feeling ok, you look pale” or something like that..by the end of the day, that person you’ve been “playing” with, starts to feel really cruddy. It’s the same when you continually tell your story.

So, start noticing what happens when people ask you how you are or how you’re feeling. Stop, take a deep breath and say something like “fine thank you” EVEN if you’re not feeling fine. You are not doing any good by elaborating on what’s actually going on with you. If you don’t stop first, make it a habit of listening to what you are saying when talking to someone else about yourself. Are you telling them the good things in your life, past and present? I hope so because that is the best way to make sure you get more good things!

Once you’ve started to notice what you’re saying, then characterize each thing into positive or negative. This act will force you to consider what the effect of what you say. If you don’t have to label it, then you won’t be paying attention to what you’re saying. When you don’t pay attention, anything can/will come out of your mouth and you will be attracting more of whatever it is. Don’t you want to be in control of what you’re attracting? I do.

Now it’s time for you to make a commitment to changing what you’re thinking (or saying). Once you’ve said it, do you want to keep it as a part of you OR do you want to change it and maybe change what comes into your life? Take a chance. Live on the edge and try to bring more good things into your life. So, if you catch yourself having a negative thought, immediately say to yourself “that is NOT my truth” followed by, for example – “I am prosperous and healthy” – something that focuses on the opposite of what you’ve been thinking. Don’t get discouraged. Everything won’t change immediately but it will start to change. Your job is to be persistent, knowing that the Universe will provide for you and you will receive all that you’ve asked for AS LONG AS you continue to make these conscious efforts – eventually it will be no effort at all and that’s the cool thing.

How do you do this when you’re experiencing pain, whether it’s physical or emotional? This is tough. I’m not saying that it’s easy. I try to use something to help it along and my favorite tool is EFT. But I also just use the simplistic phrases “I declare it good” and “everything always works out for me”. I then try to recall that no matter how bad something may seem at this particular moment, it is for a reason and it will be a good reason and something good will come from it! Try to be persistent even when you’re in pain. Things will change. Just remember to focus on what you want and not what you don’t want. You want health and strength not to be without pain. That will just bring more pain. Put feeling and emotion into telling the Universe what you want it to bring you – HEALTH and STRENGTH, JOY and HAPPINESS. Remember that emotions and intense feeling will bring about change more rapidly than just saying something without emphasis.

Here’s the steps again:

  • Pay attention to EVERYTHING you think and say
  • Characterize what you’re thinking/saying into positive or negative categories
  • Make a commitment to change your thoughts in order to bring great things into your life
  • Work to change the negative thoughts into positive ones…and take baby steps in doing all these things.

Try it – try one or two steps to start with and see what you think or feel. Then move on
