Stop Struggling – Dealing With “What-is-itis”

by

 Well, I did go to the Abraham workshop yesterday and although it was more wonderful information, I did NOT experience the energy levels I had hoped for. That said, however, I would attend every single one of them if I could. It’s a phenomenal experience that I recommend to everyone. Abraham (and Esther) is quite a character and tells it like it is! I resisted much temptation though and only purchased one item (those of you that know me know that was a major accomplishment). However, before I pat myself on the back so much I must confess that part of the reason for that was that I had most of what was on display…LOL.

In the aftermath of yesterday’s workshop I figured it was time to get to what’s coming up for most of us- the holidays. I know that a general theme is “Struggle” when it comes to the holidays.

If you were in the FAVE class or even if you were on the webinar the introduced that class you’ll remember that we get more of what we experience. And that “what is” is really old history. This is how Abraham puts it. Anne and I would tell you that you are what you THOUGHT – a major variation on what people commonly say “you are what you think”. In reality, what is today is a product of what you created (past tense) with your thoughts and feelings leading up to its manifestation. Did you know that you can change that? Do you want to change your “what is”? Do you want to stop struggling with the holidays? Wouldn’t it be great to have an easy time of it this year? No worries, no problems, just love, happiness and spirituality as it should be?

Here is today’s Abraham quote and one that is so applicable to what we’re talking about in this post:

 

What-is has no bearing on what is coming unless you are continually regurgitating the story of what is. By thinking and speaking more of how you really want your life to be, you allow what you are currently living to be the jumping-off place for so much more. But if you speak predominantly of what-is, then you still jump off —but you jump off into more of the same.

— Abraham

Excerpted from the book “Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness” # 621

I’m thinking of having a class for 4 weeks “Telling a Different Story – Making The Holidays Pleasurable”. AND I want to offer individual coaching to help you get through the holidays too.

But I want to know what you want. So, I created a survey to find out what everyone is interested in. Please hop over to “Do you struggle with  the holidays” survey and answer a couple of questions for me. I’d really appreciate it.

Happy Veterans’ Day everyone (as you know I’m a 30 year veteran of the Navy and have been working for the Army now for 8 1/2 years)!

The “Chain Reaction” of Thoughts and Vibrations..

by

 I’m so excited! Today is the day I get to attend an Abraham-Hicks workshop in person. I’ve been looking forward to this for several months now. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Being around Abraham and feeling the vibrations of all the other folks in the room will be invigorating to say the least.

And how I feel about this and what I’m expecting is a perfect lead-in for today’s quote and discussion:

Every thought that you think is vibrating at a very personal frequency . . . and by the powerful Law of Attraction (the essence of that which is like unto itself, is drawn), that thought is now attracting another thought that is its Vibrational Match. And now, those combined thoughts are vibrating at a frequency that is higher than the thought that came before; and they will now, by the Law of Attraction, attract another and another and another, until eventually the thoughts will be powerful enough to attract a “real life” situation or manifestation.

— Abraham

Excerpted from the book “Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness” # 620

This is pretty cool – AND very key to what happens to each of us and why each of us is so very different. I underlined and highlighted the word “personal”. What happens in my brain/being is definitely NOT the same as what will happen in yours – EVEN IF we were to think about the very same thing.

That’s because of this “chain reaction” type effect. I could tell 5 people to think this one thought. But since we are intelligent beings we can’t just stop with one thought (the problems experienced when trying to learn meditation – our minds go a mile a minute) each of them would then follow on with different thoughts. A thought is a small “thing” which rarely (if ever) exists by itself.  Usually we process hundreds or thousands of thoughts at a time. The essential key is to channel these thoughts so that they lead to what you want. Do NOT let the other thoughts intercede and interfere. Once you think a negative thought, this will attract another and then another and before you know it, even though you started down a positive road, you’re now back to your negative thinking.

Let’s take an example – You start to think about receiving a gift from the Universe of $1000.  Once you realize this chain reaction process you’ll consciously have your next thought be gratitude or appreciation. You’ll put a vision (thought) in your mind of a big smile on your face (I’m smiling now just thinking about this), then you’ll think about receiving the money (you can pick how – do you want to be surprised by opening it in an envelope?, have someone come to your door with it?, find it under your door mat? have it added to your paycheck? etc – the fun part of all this is that you get to pick – remember, though, you do NOT want to ‘outline’ for the Universe HOW it is to bring it to you). Then your next thought could be holding it (either the real money or a check perhaps – you pick) and touching it making sure it’s real. And then you can think about what you’d do with it and on and on. You’ll be really smiling by the time you’re done with all the conscious thoughts.

Now what really happens most of the time is this: I tell you to think about receiving $1000 from the Universe. Maybe you get that far but then go to “yeah right…that would never happen to me…I don’t have any luck…..”. Or maybe you can see yourself receiving it but when you get to the what you would do with it, you start thinking about all the bills you have and who you owe what to and then you start thinking about LACK again. And the lack thoughts then lead to more lack thoughts etc.

So, for the next week you should consciously pay attention to everything you think – every single thing. When you catch yourself turning down the negative path, go back to the first thought and get yourself back on the positive path. Will you try that for me – just for a week – or even a few days? Let us know what a difference this makes in how you feel. I am pretty sure you’ll see a major difference once you keep yourself on that positive road. Practicing the Law of Attraction simply by practicing your individual thoughts is like the child learning to walk – first they crawl and they may stumble getting up on those two feet but you know what? They may fall back to all fours but they keep trying to get up – the child’s determination is unwavering and that’s what I want for you. Having a coach can also help you with this. Posting in the comment section below is another way to get others to support you. Let me know what’s going on this coming week!

The Law of Attraction at Work in New York..

by

 Well yesterday was the first time I’d spoken with my trainer (Dan) since he went to New York. He was like a little kid at Christmas. He is a very positive man and his fiance is also extremely positive (he describes her as “bubbly” and she’d probably shoot him for using that term but oh well). He talked about how friendly everyone was in New York. For the past year he’d been quizzing me about “would he get mugged”, “what would happen if I look people in the eye and smile at them” etc.  He said that almost everyone smiled back. He also said that every place they went things returned to normal just before they got there. For example, when they would get on the subway, they would hear that another part of the line just opened up or that when they would get somewhere the power would have been restored to such and such a place.

The cutest part was when he was ready to propose. I think he had a certain place in mind but when they got to Central Park he found this fountain and there was a choir singing and he felt it was the perfect place. It went so magically that even people around him got pictures and videos for them to keep.

He was so effusive and it was very obvious that this man and his fiance brought the magic of their energy with them wherever they went. It was amazing to listen to. It’s as if they had a protective and rewarding bubble around them – they only attracted those who matched their attitude and energy. This is really what the Law of Attraction is all about. People who are grumpy don’t want to be around those who are so happy all they can do is smile. And those who are positive and ecstatic with life don’t want to be around those who are grumpy and try to bring others down. Just like oil and vinegar.

What is your energy saying today? What kind of bubble is surrounding you? Who are you attracting into your life?

The Law of Attraction is the Key to Everything….

by

And understanding how it works and what surrounds it is essential. I haven’t posted in quite a few months because my every waking moment was spent either at work or training for the New York City Marathon which is in two weeks now. But I have been listening over and over again to Abraham and have learned so much that I am going to begin to share with you all. I’m also getting ready to have another webinar and another coaching class after the marathon is over. We had such a successful inaugural class that I want others to have that opportunity as well. I will open up for coaching hours in November too so it’s going to be busy at Getting Unstuck, LLC because I want to help you all “Get Unstuck” and get moving toward the goals you have.

This is a short “welcome back” type post today but I just wanted to remind you of the three basic concepts put out by Abraham in “Ask and it is Given”, the Teachings of Abraham.

First, you Ask – you do this with every desire you have and you do this when you come across things you do NOT want in your life. Because immediately you know what you DO want. So, you have now put out into the Universe what it is you want.

Second, it is Given – this is the work of the Universe, not you. The Universe hears your desire (what you asked for) and it immediately goes to work to provide it for you.

Third, you have to ALLOW it into your life – this is where people say that the Law of Attraction does or doesn’t work. If they are good at “allowing”, all things come to them and they agree that it works. If they have resistance and do not “allow” the Universe to give them what they have asked for, then they do not get their manifestation and they say the Law of Attraction does not work.

The Law of Attraction ALWAYS works. Your job is to figure out what it is you are allowing into your life – resistance or acceptance. If you’re always focused on the lack, the absence of what you want, the “not having it”, then you will receive more of that but the Law of Attraction is working because it is bringing you more of what you are focusing on.

My job as a coach and leader is to help you stop focusing on the lack but to allow the things you have asked for – the things you want – to come into your life.

We all need coaches. As the weeks go by, you’ll see how that plays into your everyday life.

How The Circle of Influence Concept Applies To The Law Of Attraction

by

Have you heard of Stephen Covey’s concept of Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence (from “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”)? This is a great way to focus your efforts when working with the Law of Attraction. The Circle of Concern contains all those things of interest to us essentially. It includes everything that happens in the economy, at the PTA, what others do at work, etc. The Circle of Influence is within the Circle of Concern. However, it contains those things about which we can do something. Let’s see how that applies to the Law of Attraction.

The Circle of Influence is where you actually have influence on things. You can change your life by concentrating on what’s in your Circle of Influence. When you veer outside of that circle and start talking about or worrying about everything in your Circle of Concern, your focus is dissipated and the energy you need to put on to things and events you can change is also spread around. It’s like trying to light a fire on a desert island by hoping the sun will find the right branch and then it will light on fire.

On that island, you stand a much better chance of starting a fire by using a magnifying glass (or your own eyeglasses as you’ve seen in the movies). That glass pulls the energy of the sun and compresses it down to one single area of concentration where it can point all its heat and start your fire.

Working with the Law of Attraction is similar. Remember that the Law of Attraction is always working – whether you’re aware of it or not or whether you believe in it or not. Many people think they are “working” it but they flounder around from thinking ‘this’ to thinking ‘that’ depending on the day or on their moods. That is why we teach that you have to identify your own goals and then define them in tremendous detail. That way you have impressed your subconscious mind with exactly what you want.

Once you’ve embedded this goal in your mind, your primary job is to continue to focus on achieving it and never waver from this focus. How do you do that? Well, you concentrate on the things that are within your Circle of Influence, NOT those that are outside of this circle. Being overly concerned and obsessed with things in your Circle of Concern will keep your energy and vibrations from pouring out to the Universe like a spotlight. If you stay within that circle where you actually have control of what happens, you will be able to bring about your desires and do so more quickly. For this is the location where you have influence and control.

Apply focus in everything you do. Stay within your Circle of Influence and let things happen as they will within your Circle of Concern. Do everything you can to ensure that your Circle of Influence is powerful and positive to set the stage for the Law of Attraction to work to your advantage.

This is only a taste of the Law of Attraction. Did you know that the Law of Attraction is only one of many universal laws that control our lives? Find out how to create the life you want. Visit The Art of Making Things Happen.
