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!

Start Working on 2016 Now

year_crush_year_400_clr_17759I told you last week that I was going to concentrate on you preparing your life for 2016 pretty early. Of course, if you listen to the music in the stores now, it’s not too early (I couldn’t believe that the day after Halloween they had Christmas music on already – why couldn’t anyone create Thanksgiving music?).

There are various parts to preparing for the new year.

Today we’ll start with the inventory phase.

1) You should start listing all the things that went on in your life this past year. I like to do that periodically through the year but it’s definitely important now. You can make simple lists of what happened. You can elaborate as much or as little as you want. The point to this list is to help you remember what you experienced and this includes emotions and thoughts. Did one event seem to lead to another? Did you get “down” on yourself or even in yourself because of one or more events? What did you do to get out a funk if you were in one?  Eventually you’ll be using this list to figure out what you want to change for next year.

2) Once you’ve made your list, go back through it and simply put a plus or a minus by each item on the list. Plus means it was  a good experience. Minus means that it wasn’t as stellar as you would have liked. If right now you feel neutral about it, then you can put both a plus and a minus.

3) Go back through the list and see if any of the events led to the next (or another one down the list); kind of a domino effect. If they did, draw a line to connect them. More importantly see if the plus/minus designation is the same for both.

4) If the plus/minuses are the same can you remember what thoughts and emotions you had during these times? This is important because you want to see if there is any connection in your vibrations or if you were successful in recognizing that you needed to change your thinking and then you did so.

5) Can you recognize any patterns? Where there repeated successes? Failures? Illnesses? Injuries?

6) Take another piece of paper and write down the themes you see.

7) Once you have the themes listed, determine if they are patterns you are happy with or not. Mark them on the sheet or put the ones you’re happy with on one side and those you’re not happy with on the other side.

8)Read the lists over again and determine what you want to change; or, what you want to have more of next year.

9) Go through each of the themes and see if you can identify your beliefs (limiting or not) that worked to bring these events into existence or at least what beliefs affected the outcome.

10) How did the Law of Attraction come into play with these events?

Keep reviewing this list for a few days before we go on to phase 2.

Go ahead and get started. Hopefully you’re like me and write everything down on a calendar that you can use for reference.

Momentum Monday

momentum-monday1Impatience 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?

Acceptance or Resistance

acceptance v resistanceNo, you can’t add the intermediate “uncertainty” because that’s not really an intermediate – it’s a form of resistance.

When talking about Universal Law and when talking about life in general, you are either accepting something or resisting it.  Life goes much better for you when you accept things. Even if it’s a less than desirable “item” it’s best to accept it. Then you can change it to whatever you want.

Awareness and recognition are such important qualities when it comes to this topic. If you are aware that you are resisting something, you can then make a decision to change that state (the state of resistance). Once you recognize what it is you are  REALLY resisting, then that makes the change so much easier.  Sounds complicated but the two do build on one another. Although you can be aware that you are resisting something and not know exactly what it is, usually the act of becoming aware is like turning your flashlight on low beam. You can begin to see some sort of outline and begin to identify the object.

Once you have a bit of light on the subject, it’s amazing how quickly definition and subsequent recognition follow. If you think about your own past experiences, you know that some definition even if not complete can lead you to identifying what something is. If it has the outline and positioning of a couch, you know that it probably is a couch. Sure, you may not know exactly what color or style it is, but you know what it is and what it’s for. That’s the kind of recognition we’re after here. Specifics will naturally follow since you’ll be adding more light as you pay more attention to the subject.

Acceptance of where you are and where you’ve been led is vital because acceptance will then decrease the amount of stress in your life. Even when there is a bad situation such as an illness or financial crisis, your stress level will decrease once you accept it. Most of the time we have a great deal of stress because we don’t know what’s going on or what we’re going to be able to do about it. However, if you sit back, take a deep breath and accept that it (the situation) is here in your life, then you can relax a bit. Once you tell yourself “ok, I am having this problem – that’s a fact. I accept it. Now I shall go about dealing with it and changing the outcome using the Law of Attraction.” No one is saying that acceptance means you’re happy about the situation. Sometimes I think people feel I’m saying that. It’s simply an expression of fact. Sometimes just the act of acceptance will even ease the situation. If you continue to worry about what a particular symptom (or situation) means, then you attract more of the same and things feel worse and then get worse. Take a sore throat for example. If you continue to worry about that sore throat and then find the swollen glands in your neck and worry about them, then you are liable to jump to the next conclusion – that you have a cancer of the lymph nodes. This is even worse if your best friend is Google.

If you, instead, simply say “I have a sore throat. I will either wait a few days to see if it gets better or I’ll call a doctor and I’ll get better soon.”, you’ve stated a fact (you have a sore throat) and you’ve listed two decisions you can choose from (wait or call the doctor). You’ve also made another decision (that you’ll get better).  You’ve moved forward out of the worry spin cycle and are into the positive action mode. In a few days if you’re still having a sore throat, you don’t get panicky because that was a choice you made recognizing that you might or might not get better and low and behold you have NOT gotten better so you now will call the doctor. There’s no going round and round about having cancer or some other immune disorder or ebola or something else weird. You’ve remained calm throughout all of this. No one is saying that you’ve felt ok because the fact is you still have a sore throat. But, you have remained calm and been able to stay alert and focused in the positive direction of decision making. In so doing, you’ve worked the Law of Attraction to your benefit and your emotional agony is minimized. When you clear yourself of as much emotional excess as possible, your thinking process is much clearer. I don’t want to go into this today but EFT is a phenomenal way to help clear that emotional excess or baggage.

All I ask is for you to stop each time something happens and ask if you are accepting it or resisting it. Just doing that will lead you along the rest of the path now that you’ve been exposed to it. See how your outlook changes when you do this. See how your life changes too.

What’s In Your Mirror?

256916353712336198_lmDCULr4_bThis probably should have been titled “Who’s in your mirror?” but I wanted to follow the trend of “What’s in your wallet” so humor me.

It’s so important for us to be able to see ourselves as we really are. And by this I mean beyond the external looks. So many people are hung up on their weight or the way their noses or mouths or any other body part looks.  Be honest with yourself right now – what are your thoughts when you look in the mirror? Do you thank the Universe for your  body? I would bet that the majority of you will say “no” if you’re honest with yourselves.

Why not? Why don’t we express our thanks for the wonderful vehicle our souls and minds get to move around in? Because of society and the mass compulsion (in the U.S. anyway) with looking a certain way, weighing a certain weight, having a certain color of hair etc. When people talk about what’s attractive, these physical characteristics are what’s mentioned first and I imagine figure predominantly in most people’s thoughts.

I’ve always said that we’d be much more tolerant and more of a loving population if everyone were blind. Then you couldn’t make your judgments based on the way something looks.

Can you practice “looking” at people beyond their exterior? Think about people you meet and ask yourself if you’ve already made a judgment because of their weight, their features, the way they dress etc.  If you have made a judgment of that nature, revisit that opinion and see if you can change it based on something else.  I had an experience a month ago while waiting for a doctor’s appointment in a crowded waiting room. I asked if I could sit down next to this woman who was overweight but as soon as she smiled, it was as if she could mesmerize the entire room – it was such a magnetic smile that I will NEVER forget it. It’s that type of characteristic that I want you all to find in everyone you meet – even if it’s for just a day, or maybe just an hour. Are you willing to try that?

I’ve been at a conference all week and I have practiced this technique. I look at everyone who comes into my field of vision and I look for a smile, a turn of the head, a word, the depth of the eyes..anything other than their external appearances. It’s been a wonderful experience.

The other thing you should practice at least once a day is to thank God (the Universe, Buddha, whomever you wish to thank) for all of your body. Your heart beats so many times a minute EVERY SINGLE minute. It doesn’t get depressed and want to sleep all day. It doesn’t “give up” (unless you have heart disease) and just stop doing what it’s supposed to do.

What about your legs? Do you thank the Universe for them? They move you around. Even if you have arthritis, they still get you around. And the arthritis is telling you something too.  It forces you to slow down and pay attention to things around you.

Your body is wonderful and you should bless it! Thank it! Who cares what it looks like? Does it do everything it’s supposed to do? Then you should acknowledge it. Think about your job. Do you know anyone (or maybe it’s you) that quietly goes about their business doing everything they are supposed to do day after day and never get any acknowledgment? This is no different. That person will eventually get worn down. But if they get some kind of recognition, they get energized again. If you thank your body for the great work it’s been doing, there is  a much higher probability that it will continue to bring you more of the same health and well-being. I think that is often the cause of some of our illnesses. We just disparage our bodies so much, that we attract more of the bad things we are thinking or saying. Do you ever say “I hate the way I look? or “I hate being old”? “I hate being fat”? Any of these are generally accompanied by strong emotion when you’re thinking or saying them. That strong emotion is what attracts more of the same emotion to you – more hate and dislike – and discontent. Do you want that? If not, start loving your body and see what happens.

Try these experiments this week!
