Being Naturally Deserving

Imagine that you walk into an amusement park. From the minute you walk into the park you are automatically allowed and entitled to go on every ride in that park. No one is more entitled to those rides than you are and no one is less entitled. Everyone is entitled to all the rides in the park - simply because the rides are there.

Now imagine one person walks in and says “You know, I don’t feel right about just being able to go on the roller coaster. I feel as if I have to do something to deserve it. I know, I will sweep the park and then I will feel entitled to go on the roller coaster.”

And so they start sweeping. And then someone walks up to them and asks what they are doing and they say “I am sweeping up the park, so I will feel entitled to go on the roller coaster.”

So this new person says “Oh, O.K. I think I will also start sweeping up the park to feel better about going on the roller coaster. “ And then the new persons begins sweeping.

Now a few more people come in and ask what they are doing. And instead of saying they chose to sweep up the park, they instead say “We are sweeping up the park so we will be deserving of going on the roller coaster.“

Now these new people are under the impression that you HAVE to sweep up the park to be able to go on the roller coaster, -- they never even question who made up this rule or where it came from.

When the truth is “No ONE has to sweep up the park to go on the roller coaster and NO ONE ever said they did!

Some of the people actually get so caught up in the sweeping, they totally forget about the roller coaster all together!

This is the perfect example of many peoples attitudes towards being deserving of good things while on Earth.

Somewhere along the way they picked up the mistaken belief that they have to DO certain things to be deserving. Deserving of money, of success, of love, of happiness. That somehow they have to do things to earn it or be worthy. Or they somehow have to suffer before they can be allowed to enjoy life.

But the truth is, you are simply entitled to every good thing on this planet simply by being here and simply because it is all here at the same time that you are and no ONE up THERE has EVER said anything different!

Only people have come up with these misconceptions, and others have blindly followed without ever asking the simple question: Who SAYS?

Who SAYS I have to work at a job that I hate if I want to make enough money to live?
Who SAYS I am not entitled or deserving to have a lot of money?
Who SAYS that others are more entitled to it than I am?
Who SAYS that I have to do things I don’t want to do if I want to be in a loving relationship?
Who SAYS that manifesting things I want has to be difficult?
Who SAYS that I have to put my time in before I am deserving?
Who SAYS that I have to sacrifice in some areas if I want good in others?

NO ONE has said! No Powers That Be ever came up with that rule!! Only people with misguided beliefs.

So if you find yourself with these hidden misconceptions, it is time to take them out and examine them. Ask yourself the simple question - Who SAYS this is true? And where did they get that crazy idea that it is true? And Why should it be true?

And the more you examine these ideas and really, really try to get to the heart of where these ideas originated, you will begin to realize that most of these misconceptions you carry with you simply came from people who are “sweeping parks for absolutely no reason“.

YOU are entitled to every good thing this Earth and Universe has to offer - simply because you are HERE! This is the biggest playground in the world and you are entitled to go on every ride you desire just because the rides are here for your enjoyment.

And you do not have to earn it - you do not have to do anything to deserve it - you do not have to sacrifice other good things to enjoy it - and there is not and never has been anyone up there trying to keep it from you.

Only your misguided thoughts have kept your greatest manifestations at bay.

So start telling yourself a new story. When and if you feel that:

I can only have that if I....
I can only enjoy this after I....
I will only be entitled to this when...
If only I was....then I can have what I want

Stop yourself in your own tracks and ask yourself....WHO SAYS?

You will be delightfully surprised at the relief you will feel when you get to the heart of the matter and realize there is no good answer to that question, and you will be free to enjoy every ride while you are here.

Fun Manifestation

Good Morning Everyone!

Had an awesome (and just plain fun) manifestation that I wanted to share with you. My husband and I have just received a fairly generous income tax refund and we were talking about what we should spend some of the money on.

We’ve been flowing pretty nicely with the money manifesting lately so we decided we would treat ourselves to a gift or two and put the rest away.

I decided to buy myself the entire Bob Ross Starter Paint set. (For those of you who don’t know, Bob Ross was an awesome landscape painter that used to be on PBS television. He could create the most beautiful landscapes in under 30 minutes and it was something I always wanted to try.) It cost me about $250.00 to get everything from the easel to the paints (canvasses, brushes etc.)

My husband decided he wanted to buy himself a 46” Flat Screen television (men!) but the $1,600 for the television was a little more than he wanted to pay. He did some research online and found that he could get a refurbished 46” Flat Screen Aquos for around $700 which made more sense to him. He really liked the Aquos and decided to do a little more research before committing. This had happened on the Saturday before Superbowl Sunday.

Later that same Saturday afternoon we went to the supermarket together to pick up some food and beer to bring to a Superbowl party we were attending the next day. While my husband was looking for the food items, I went to get the beer and noticed this huge raffle display from Budweiser in the beer section. The prize? A 46“ Aquos Flatscreen television!

Hey! I am no Law of Attraction novice here -- I know when to take a hint! Especially when it was the EXACT television that he had decided he wanted that very morning.

Sure enough, I filled out a single raffle ticket with his name on it. This past Monday we got the call - HE WON!!

At first we thought that maybe this was a fairly small giveaway but have since found out that this was a country wide raffle! Budweiser had been running the promotion for quite a few months, even on the internet. Talk about a fun manifestation!

So keep your eyes open for possibilities and those positive thoughts flowing! You truly have no idea in what fun ways Universe will decide to deliver.

Happy New Year - 2010!

Happy New Year Everyone!

New Years' is one of my favorite holidays because it seems to automatically lead people to look ahead to what they want to create for the New Year as opposed to looking back -- and that is what the Law of Attraction is all about.

The past does not matter - only this moment of NOW matters and where you happily decide to go from this moment.

The following are a few simple ideas to focus on to make 2010 the best year you have ever experienced on this Earth!

1. "NOTHING is more important than that you feel good" (a direct quote from Abraham-Hicks)

2. Think and stay focused on what you DO want as opposed to what you do not.

3. Find the best feeling thoughts you can on every subject in your life as often as possible. The more appreciative and positive you are...the more positive will be attracted to you.

4. Know that your higher-self and/or source is always with you - leading you in the right direction -- all you need to do is listen and follow its direction

5. You are exactly where you are supposed to be at this moment - everything you have learned up to now brings you to this new starting point to creating a great new future

6. You are perfect exactly the way you are - your higher self/source loves you exactly the way you are -if you were supposed to be in a different place right now, you would be. You can have anything you desire starting from this NOW moment.

7. Stop worrying about what others are thinking or expecting of you...you came here to create your own experience...it is their job to create their own.

8. Always put your emotional guidance system before anything or anyone else. If something feels good or expanding to you - you are headed in the right direction, -- if it feels wrong or restricting, it is time to stop and get some clarity on how you really feel on the subject or what course of action you can take that will make you feel better.

9. Surround yourself with the positive. Contrary to popular belief, the world will not end if you stop reading the newspapers, stop watching the news or stop associating with negative people for awhile.

Start this New Year off right by purposely pumping yourself with every positive thing you can think of that makes you feel good! Meditate, read inspiring books, listen to music that you love, listen to new age or spiritual CDs, light scented candles that instantly calm you. Consciously bring yourself back to the positive as often as possible.

10. Stop any negative thoughts in their tracks - they no longer serve you. When a negative, fearful or guilty thought pops into your head about something that happened in the past, let it go and refocus your attention on what you do want to be doing and feeling. Only from THIS place can you start to bring around your new future. While it might seem a little difficult at first, with practice it starts to become your natural way of thinking and that's when miracles will REALLY start to happen!

I was so happily surprised to see a major spike in traffic to this site during this last week. It is inspiring to know that so many people are turning to the Law of Attraction to create the most awesome New Year that they possibly can -- which in turn has brought me back to updating this site more often.

Here's to having the best year of your life!...Cheers!

Law of Attraction: Do You Really Want Things to Change in Your Life?

"I knew it!"

"I told you so!"

"Just as I thought!"

"Just as I'd expected"

"I knew she was going to be difficult!"

"I knew he was going to turn out to be a cheater!"

"I knew I should never have hired him"

"I knew I was going to hate this class...this job...this assignment".

These are just some of the expressions we use when we experience a situation that we have been dreading or assuming that would turn out negative and then we prove ourselves right.

So are these "premonitions" or are we walking into these situations thinking negatively ahead of time - thereby creating them?

The answer is both, because they both stem from the same thing - our preconceived thoughts about them.

You see, our brains like "labels." When a new experience or situation is on the horizon, it is our brains' natural function to try and put it into a "category" that we can relate to. These categories are built around past experiences we have had, or even sometimes simply heard about.

So quite often without realizing it, we can put a "future" experience into a negative category in our minds that will then "predict" the outcome of the new experience. Because we are already assuming the negative and believing the negative...well, let's just say it's not difficult to see how this is going to end up.

Here's an example. Imagine that a third grader on his first day of school is either especially exuberant or nervous. So on his first day he is either talking a lot or upset and uncooperative.

Now the teacher... who doesn't know this child yet...automatically "labels" this child as "going to be a problem" for the rest of the year. It's hard to blame the teacher from a practical standpoint, because the teacher knows that "bad" behavior has to be nipped in the bud immediately if he/she is going to maintain any kind of control over the class for the rest of the year.

So now the teacher "knows" this child has to be reprimanded as soon as the "bad" behavior begins to prevent it from getting worse. So from here on in, any time the child talks to someone else, the teacher pounces on it. If there is a dispute between this child and another student, the teacher automatically assumes that it is the "troublemakers" fault. The "troublemaker" gets spoken to more harshly than the other children and gets reprimanded more often.

So now how do you think the third grader is going to interpret this? That the teacher doesn't like him - that the teacher is always picking on him - that the teacher doesn't talk to the other students that way, etc.

So, if that is true, how do you think this student is likely to behave in the future? With anger, with resentment, by acting out "just as the teacher assumed that he would", because the teacher just knew he was going to be a troublemaker; meanwhile the child is simply re-acting to the way he was being treated in the first place.

This is the kind of vicious circle many of us get caught up in. We have one bad experience, then immediately assume anything like it belongs in the same bad experience category, so we right off the bat start looking for the "problems."

Then of course, after we have brought these exact problems about we say "You see? I knew it! I knew it was going to turn out this way!"

Well...duh!

What else can we expect to happen? We're expecting it to be a bad experience, we are focusing on all the "bad" in it... how can it end up being anything else?

If you feel you keep having the same "bad" experiences over and over again it might be time to look at your own "labeling system." Are you walking into a situation automatically assuming that you are not going to enjoy it? Automatically assuming it is going to be a bad experience, simply because of what has happened in the past?

For instance, a dreaded job, an invitation, a relationship, a financial situation, even something as mundane as a retail store? Do you ever find yourself saying things like "I hate going to that store, the lines are always so long," or I can never find a salesperson when I need one".

It is time to remember that you have the choice in every single minute to change your thoughts about something. It is time to remember that today is a new day and just because "this happened" last time - there is nothing outside of you that is saying that it has to happen the same way again. Only you can make that choice. Only you can decide what part of a situation you want to focus upon. Only you can decide what you would like the new outcome to be.

There is a favorite quote of mine from Wayne Dyer that says "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

Even though it may seem to you that "nothing ever changes" it is in fact changing constantly. Every single situation is different and brings something new to the table. However, if you keep having the same "old" thoughts about it -- then you are just going to naturally reproduce the same "old" outcomes.

So in the future, try to catch yourself when you start to go through this labeling practice. When you feel yourself automatically dreading something that reminds you of a past experience, catch yourself and soothe yourself into knowing that just because that is what happened last time, does not mean it has to happen again.

Keep your focus on a different outcome. Daydream and imagine different possibilities that you hadn't considered before. If a negative thought tries to pop in, pivot and think about what you would like to experience.

You will be amazed at how easily you can create an entirely different outcome simply by having an entirely different thought about it.

Law of Attraction - Money Is Only An Illusion

When it comes to the law of attraction, the question I am asked most often by people is how can they use it to attract more money into their lives. Many of these people have done the reading and the exercises; some had even been pretty successful in attracting other things they’ve wanted in their lives, but for some reason the money thing seems the most elusive.

Considering what most of us think and have been taught about money, it isn’t really difficult to see where the problem might lie.

Money is the one subject most of us are bombarded with negative messages about on almost a daily basis. Any time you pick up a newspaper, watch T.V., talk to friends and family, so much of the conversation revolves around money and the supposed lack of it. The increase in milk and gas prices, increased taxes, the billions going to the war. Rise in unemployment rates, rise in bankruptcies, rise in foreclosures and personal debt. And this is on top of the silly negative messages we received as children growing up. So it not hard to see why it seems to be one of the hardest things for one to manifest.

Another thing has to do with emotion. Money invokes strong emotions. It is as strong in the people who have it, as it is in the people who do not. The Law of Attraction works stronger and faster when there is serious emotion behind it, be it in a positive or negative way.

So again, it is not surprising that someone who feels strongly about having money has tons of it while others who feel strongly about being poor experience serious lack.

Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter. It is time to let go of the emotions and get practical.

The truth is there is no lack of money. In fact, money itself isn’t even real. It is all an illusion.

Money is merely legal tender we have collectively decided to give a value to. In truth it is nothing more than rectangular pieces of paper covered in green ink with miscellaneous numbers on it. And nowadays most of the time it isn’t even that physical.

It is said (and this varies from nation to nation) that only as little as 4% of the money that exists in the banks today exists as paper bills or coins.

That means that out of $100 only $4 of that is available in cash money! And that money is not even backed up by anything since we got rid of the Gold Standard in the 1970’s.

The rest of the “money” out there is just a bunch of numbers flying electronically over our heads from one account to another and back again.

Think about the last big purchase you have made. When you bought your house, your car, a major appliance. Did you have to go to the bank and physically take out those thousands and thousands of dollars in cash?

Of coarse not. You simply wrote down some numbers on a small piece of paper called a check and handed it over. Or you used a little plastic card that will cause you to receive another piece of paper at the end of the month with even more numbers on it.

Money is simply an idea we have all agreed to accept. Think about some of the other things we consider “valuable” simply because we collectively decided to. For instance, my father used to say to me about diamonds; “I have no idea why people would want to spend so much money on a bunch of shiny rocks.” And it was so funny to me because it is true.

Diamonds are simply shiny rocks created in abundance by nature. It is only in our decision (or more importantly the decision of the diamond mine owners) to declare that they are “worth” something. There have been times in the past that diamond miners would have millions of dollars worth of diamonds reserved in vaults that were distributed in limited amounts just to keep the value of diamonds high. But the diamonds themselves weren’t scarce. Granted they are beautiful -- but they are also, in fact… rocks.

How about the other things in our lives that change on almost a daily basis due to what we hear and read? For instance, how can a house that was worth $250,000 a few years ago increase to a worth of $750,000 when it is the exact same house? How does a stock worth $80 yesterday drop to $40 today based on a review given by a third party?

You see it is all in perception. So many of us have been brought up to believe we are undeserving or not entitled to have a lot of money. But that is just as big an illusion as money is itself.

It is time to stop being intimidated by a non-existing entity!

Do you want to know why you are entitled to have anything you want on this Earth?

Simply because you are here! You are entitled to everything that exists on this planet simply because you exist on this planet along with these things!

Nobody owns it! Nobody has more or a less of a right to it than you do. We are all equally entitled to all of the bounty that exists here - otherwise it wouldn‘t exist here at all to be experienced!

And do you know what else? You do not need to do anything to justify it - you do not need to prove it and you certainly don’t need to wait for someone else to allow you to have it.

It is yours to experience simply because it is here to be experienced and because you are here to experience it. You are did not come down to this gorgeous planet to experience lack. You came down here to create wonderful physical manifestations!

So it is time to get practical and get over those old tiresome theories about what is considered “valuable“ and if you are deserving of them.

If Debeers can decide how much diamonds are worth, and the Federal Reserve can decide what the interest rate is going to be, and Wall Street can decide how much stocks are worth, and consumers can decide how much the latest Elmo is going to be worth this Christmas, don’t you think it is time to declare what you choose to be worth?

Who’s going to do that if not you? Why should others get to make all the rules?

Of coarse you are entitled to a bunch of shiny rocks!

Absolutely you are entitled to rectangular pieces of paper stamped with green ink!

Darn right you are entitled to have a bunch of large numbers in some account that has your name on it!

Most importantly of all is your right to enjoy this physical lifetime simply because you choose to. Because it is why you came here! And don’t let anyone think they can take that right away from you. No government, bank, employer, credit card holder, spouse, parent…anyone!

Remember that money is simply an illusion. Basing your self-worth on it, is an even bigger illusion. It is time to shatter them both!

Be the entitled being you are supposed to be. Enjoy every minute here as you intended.

You are worthy!

Came Across A Great Post - Good Thought For The Day

Morning All!

I came across this great post this morning on the Good Vibe Blog.

It is about how the labels we put on things affect the outcome of situations in our lives.

It pretty much says it all -- so there is not much for me to add to it.

When you have a chance -- check it out!

Have You Heard About the Passion Test?

You may have heard of Jack Canfield. He was one of the speakers in the movie The Secret and is the publisher of all of the Chicken Soup For The Soul books.

So when I came across a quote about how a certain book changed his life I became naturally curious.

Many of you might have already heard about the book The Passion Test. I, however had not until yesterday, which makes me think that maybe I was living under a rock when it became a national best seller last year.

This book claims to be able to help guide you to being more aware of what you really want in life.

Just by taking simple little tests and answering certain questions it will make you much clearer on where your personal focus should be to have the passionate life you desire.

As we have discussed before on this site, there is only one simple rule when it comes to the Law of Attraction. “Focus on what you DO want - and not on what you do not want.”

The biggest frustration that has been relayed to me by my readers however, is that many of them don’t actually know what it is they want.

Most people have been brought up to do what they have to do to survive, not many were told when they were younger that they should be focusing on what they love to do, what they want to do or what they are inspired to do. Many of us have even been taught that if it is fun – then it cannot be worth money or it is not real work.

As you become more aware of the Law of Attraction however, you start to realize that they were wrong. Who says you can’t make money doing what you love? You know who says it? The people who aren’t making money doing what they love! Well that’s a little biased, don’t you think?

I found this clip on YouTube that describes The Passion Test in more detail..



I even visited The Passion Test’s website and I have to admit it was very inspiring! I took the Free 7 question Passion Test Profile and it was surprisingly accurate to where I am standing right now in my life.

I personally love what I do for a living and do it with excitement every day! There are some other areas of my life however that can use a little tweaking. For instance, there are a couple of opportunities that stand before me now that I have been debating about taking the next step on.

So if you have some time today, go check it out for yourself. The Passion Test Website has some free inspiring articles and a blog that can maybe help you get clearer on what you are wanting.

Rich People vs. Poor People Checklist

This list was taken directly from the book The Secrets of The Millionaire Mind book by T. Harv Eker.

Some of you might remember this post from my older website - but due to everyone's recent concerns about the stock market and the intense focus on creating money I decided to republish it here now.

It is basically a cheat sheet from Mr. Eker's book (which I highly recommend by the way) that explains the difference between the way Rich people think and Poor people
think.

The book goes into much more detail, mind you. After each "title" it then goes into further explanation of how and why those differences in thinking is important.

I put this list together a few years back and made it look really pretty. I printed it out in fancy italics, printed it out on paper with a scrolled background and put it in a frame over my desk.

This way any time I had to "pivot" or redirect my thoughts about money I had this list in front of me.

Of coarse, feel free to print this list out and keep it on your wall someplace for your own inspiration, but please do not put it out anywhere else on the web because it is the exclusive property of T. Harv Eker. Thank you!

Today Is the Day To Accept Exactly Who, What And Where You Are and Know That It Is Perfect

Today is the day to accept exactly who you are and where you are standing right now and know that it is perfectly O.K.

If you are happy with where you are – GOOD for you and keep doing what you are doing!

If you are not however, it is time to accept where you are anyway.

It is time to say to yourself “This is what my physical body IS, what my current relationships ARE, what my financial situation IS, what my career IS right at this moment and I understand and accept that and know that it is perfectly O.K.

Now,… where do I want to go from here?”

No more blaming the past, berating yourself, putting yourself down, feeling guilty. No more blaming others, the economy, your boss, your family etc.

The only reason you are standing where you are right now is simply due to past thoughts you have had that have brought you here.

And even those thoughts weren’t bad, they weren’t wrong – they simply were thoughts you were having “then” which has nothing to do with NOW.

You see the NOW moment is all you have. IT is the only moment that counts and the only moment you can work from.

No matter how you look at it – you cannot change the past. Nor should you want to. It is time to accept that whatever brought you to this place where you are now, happened for a reason and it has prepared you for this NOW moment.

So totally accept where you are standing at this moment and simply ask yourself what you would like to do next? What would you like to create next? It doesn’t have to be any more complicated that that.

Seriously think about your answer. Do not say to your self “Well I don’t want to do this again!” Simply ask yourself “what DO I want?”

“What DO I want to create? How can I go about doing that? What steps can I take in this NOW moment that will bring that to me?”

Remind yourself that you are not the same person today that you were even yesterday.

Every day you are different. Every day you have learned something new. Every day another desire in you has been born.

So forget about yesterday or what brought you here. Simply accept that you ARE here and decide where you want to go from here. And if negative thoughts attempt to pop in like “It doesn’t matter what I do – nothing will ever change, or “I’ve tried a million times before and it didn’t work” or whatever silly thought pops into your brain, simply remind yourself, that was yesterday, this is today, and if I don’t want to repeat yesterday – it is time to have a different thought today.

Continue to do this and you will be shocked how quickly things will turn around for you!

Inspirational Failures

Morning All!

I was playing around on Youtube this morning and I came across a bunch of inspirational videos that I haven’t seen before that I thought I would share.

In crazy times like these the most important thing for us all to remember is to not give up. No matter what goes on around us – we have the ability to get through it. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says, it doesn’t matter how many times we have failed in the past or how many times we have fallen.

Sometimes success could be as close as just taking one more step, but if you turn around and quit -- you’ll never know it.

Abraham Hicks Video on The Financial Crisis

Good Morning All,

Well, I am still in the process of reading Abraham-Hicks book “Money and The Law of Attraction” and I am still loving every word, so I have a feeling that it is probably what I am going to be writing about over the next few days.

I had an interesting manifestation this morning. A few days ago I was wishing that I had Abraham in the room with me to ask them what they thought of the current financial situation on Wall Street and what they would have to say about the election.

I couldn’t imagine them being “political” and endorsing either candidate from their higher perspective but I was curious on what their take was on the whole matter.

Sure enough I find out this morning that they put up a video on youtube yesterday about those very subjects. So, “Thank you Universe and more of that quick manifesting please!

I’ve included the video here so you can see it yourself:



Basically what it comes down to is what they encourage all along. Do not worry about what is going on around you, do not worry about what others are saying or doing around you, do not waste your precious energy trying to blame others for what is going on – but simply keep your focus on what makes you feel good.

Because “nothing is more important than that you feel good”.

And if you keep your focus day after day on things that make you feel good, and if you spend your time focusing on the things that you want in life as opposed to the things that you do not want, and if everyday you wake up and tell yourself that everyday things are getting better and better -- Universe has no choice but to respond and bring it to you.

So turn off your television, put down your newspapers and think and write about things that you really want in your life. Envision, daydream and make yourself feel good.

The rest will sort itself out on its own.

Law of Attraction: Maintaining Inner Peace During These Crazy Times

Morning all! Sorry for the lack of posts these last two weeks. I've been involved in another project that has needed all my attention but I should be back to posting daily very soon.

So today's question is "How on Earth do I stay positive when it seems the entire world (or at least this country) is falling apart?" As I mentioned in my last post energy is moving extremely quickly at this moment in Earth's time.

When things are going to change -- they are really going to change. Now at first this may seem a little scary but the first thing to remember is "It is not good, it is not bad…it simply is"

No one is being punished here, there is no one "up there" causing this to happen to teach people a lesson (I've come across that opinion a few times on the net, so I figured I would address it here). It is simply unbiased energy moving faster and stronger than ever and whatever comes across its path is going to fly!

Think of it like the rapids of a river. The water isn't moving quickly to intentionally hurt anyone or to help anyone. It is just simply moving. How a person chooses to use that strong current is up to them.

So how are you going to use this latest current surge?

Just a quick example. While so many people have been bailing out of the stock market left and right, Warren Buffet, the most successful men to ever conquer Wall Street, invested 8 billion dollars in General Electric and Goldman Sachs. In other words, Mr. Buffet knows. He knows to look for the opportunity that exists in every situation and to flow with it - not against it. And because of that attitude he will probably make quite a few billion dollars more when the market turns around.

So what about you? There is no better time for you to practice your creative abilities than this time right now. Look at it this way, if you can master attraction while all this craziness is going on - then nothing in this world will ever be able to stop you! And if you can maintain inner calm for yourself while all this craziness is going on - you will have become a master. Think of it as jamming 4 years of college into one semester.

So the first thing we will address is how you can maintain inner peace.

1. Practice Detachment - This is for anyone who has been dealing with intense fear or frustration due to the current circumstances. Simply remove your "self" from the situation emotionally and become an unaffected bystander on the sidelines. Mentally take a step back and watch everything from a detached point of view. When reading the newspaper, watching the news, or hear people discussing the doom of the world in their conversations simply observe as an interested spectator knowing that none of this effects you personally and you are just watching because you curious about what the outcome is going to be. This is simply a temporary measure to use until you catch your breath and are ready to get back into the game, but it can be very effective if you have been on negative emotional overload lately.

2. Meditate. No more excuses! There is absolutely nothing more important than getting in touch with your higher self right now. Nothing!! Doing it once a day is probably not even enough if you have been caught up in an emotional roller coaster as of late. Give yourself at least two different 15 minute sessions a day. Find someplace quiet, sit comfortably, and close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. It might take awhile for your inner chatter to stop but just focus on the blackness behind your eyelids and the soothing feel of your breathing. As thoughts come in, let them gently pass through uninhibited and refocus your attention back on the safe soothing black color. If you feel the need to replace your chatter simply keep saying to yourself "I am safe here, I am calm here" as you breathe in and out. You might even start to feel that "safe place" in your chest area open up. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel when you open your eyes 15 minutes later.

3. EFT your biggest fears away. I have discussed EFT (The Emotional Freedom Technique) in the past. (If you would like to find out how to do it - see this post.) If you have been under stress for any length of time there is a good chance it might have gotten stuck in your physical body's electrical system. It is a good idea to clean this out every once in awhile. Simply focus on your biggest fears at the moment and tap them out. Such as "Even though I am afraid about my current money situation, I love and accept myself completely" "Even though I am afraid about who is going to win the election, I love and accept myself completely" "Even though I am scared about what is happening to my retirement account…", etc.

4. Appreciation List. I put this one fourth on the list because it is very important to do the steps above first to get into a better mind set. But just because it is fourth does not mean it isn't just as important to do. After detaching, meditating and EFTing, get out a piece of paper and write down every single thing you can appreciate in your life right NOW. Be it fresh water to drink, food to eat for today, a roof over your head today, the clothes that you are wearing, your health, your families health. If the negatives try to pop in - let them pop right out again and focus on all the good things you have in your life this minute. Be thankful for the computer that you are reading this on. Be grateful for electricity, the internet, etc.

Remember the flow of those rapids. Whatever direction you focus on, is the way your future moments are going to flow. By purposely redirecting your thoughts to what you appreciate, more will be brought to you for you to appreciate. Notice all of it. Be grateful for it and keep saying "Thank you Universe and more of that please" if you even find so much as a penny on the ground to pick up. Go with the current of good intentions - not against it.



5. Mental Distraction. Get away from the newspapers, the television news and the negative conversations as often as possible.

While I understand that it is important to stay informed during these crazy days it helps no one, especially yourself, to immerse yourself in misery.

As most of you know I am not a big fan of the media and haven't been for years due to their negative slants on the news and the sensationalism to sell more papers and ads. They have gotten completely out of control, especially lately. So do yourself a favor and watch as little of it as possible. Read the first few pages of the paper, watch one news show if you absolutely must, but then turn it off and turn to something enjoyable.

Now, there are some people who criticize that approach as being irresponsible. It is, in fact, just the opposite. It isn't difficult to see how negativity simply breeds more negativity. You can plainly see for yourself judging by yesterdays drop in the market how instilling more fear and more panic into the public is simply going to have a more negative effect on everything.

There is no benefit to staying in anger and fear!! Some people like to say that it is those emotions that inspire change. Bull! Positive thinking, positive energy and a new plan of action can inspire those changes ten times faster.

Are there problems right now in our country? Yes there are. Have mistakes been made? Sure - there is no denying that. But how is being angry, frustrated or keeping our focus on who is to blame helping the situation?

Our job, as the enlightened beings that we are, is to simply focus on where we stand right now at this moment and consciously decide where we want to go. Regardless of which candidate or political party wins this election, our focus needs to be on the healing and the uplifting of our country.

Take this fantasy for example. (Please NOTE: This is no way expresses my political opinions in any way - this is simply hypothetical).

Imagine if you would, that tomorrow was USA Appreciation Day. Imagine if every one of us woke up with nothing but appreciation for what this country offers for one whole day. Imagine if every conversation you had with people all day long was about the awesome opportunities that exist to make millions of dollars here. How a simple video on Youtube or a best selling book can make someone an instant success. How regardless of your race, creed or color you can be anything you choose to be. What if we discussed the awesome freedom we have to travel across this country to any state with no borders any time we simply felt like it? If we discussed all the different options we had for healthcare or the thousands of different options we had of food to eat within a mile of our homes?

What if we talked about how grateful we were for the electricity we all had access to, the heat, the fresh water, the paved roads to get us wherever we wanted to go? What if every news show and newspaper talked about how many people were healed of their illnesses, how many nice things people had done for other people, how many triumphs so many people had experienced that day? The company who happily got that new contract, that hard working person who won that award, the person who found out their new book was a best seller?

Just imagine where the stock market would go that day!! Just imagine how good every person in the country would feel that day just listening to one positive message after another? Is that not a country you would love to invest in when exposed to those kinds of positives all day long?!

Now look at what we are actually exposed to every day. Is it any wonder moral is down?

But that is neither here nor there. The fact is, that we all have to start somewhere. And the only person you could start with is you! So purposely go out of your way to make yourself feel better. Go find a funny website to enjoy, watch a comedy, read a good book, play a board game with your kids, write your own appreciation list for this awesome country. Get your friends and family members involved as well if they are willing.

Being negative cannot attract positive results. It is the LAW! The Law of Attraction. And this is not some abstract idea that you have to convince yourself of - the evidence stands right before you as you watch what is going on in the world day after day.

So start with you. Distract and remove yourself from the negativity. It is the only way you can create the life you desire.

6. Remember Who You Really Are. This is probably the most important point of all. Remember that you are a Spiritual Being simply having a human experience. This situation is merely temporary and will change like all situations do. One day it will just be a memory you will look back on.

Do not forget how powerful you really are! Remember to hold that little Earth globe in your hand and look down on it with love remembering your true immenseness in comparison to it. This current situation is nothing compared to how big you are. Merely a blip on the screen of one of your many physical lives. You can not only handle it, you can create it to be whatever you choose to. The attractive power is all in your hands!

Law of Attraction - How to Be The Calm In The Eye Of This Storm

Wow! Wild ride on the financial roller coaster yesterday wasn’t it? Do you want to know one of the first things I asked myself when the stock market closed yesterday? I asked myself how many people played the number 777 yesterday in the daily number.

That to me is eternal optimism. Take what others consider a “bad” number and see if you can turn it into something good.

So…back to that wild ride! I guess that is what we can expect living on the leading edge as we are. Do not forget we chose to come down to Earth during this exciting time of change and even though at times it gets a little scary, we didn’t want it any other way.

More energy is being sent to this planet that ever before in Earth’s history. It is being sent here by our higher selves for the purpose of experiencing an unprecedented spiritual awakening in human consciousness than has ever been experienced on the planet before.

This energy not only affects our spiritual growth however. As you have probably noticed it is causing everything to move much faster than it ever has on the planet before.

Just as it is no “accident” that we have come further in the last 50 years in regard to technology and advancement than we have in the last 2000 years combined, it is also no “accident” that whatever we are going to experience during this Earth lifetime is going to be of unprecedented proportions.

Be it hurricanes or Wall Street fluctuations – it is going to be big!

So now that you know this, are you going to let this energy work for you or against you? Are you going to “go with the flow” with excitement or “fight the current” with resistance?

You see this energy surge is happening if your ego mind likes it or not. Remember that you knew what this Earth period was going to be like before you even came down and you eagerly volunteered to be a part of it.

More important to remember however is that just as calamities can happen at monumental speed during this time period, so can unbelievable miracles.

You can become “poor” overnight or you can become a millionaire! It all depends on what you choose to keep your focus on.

It is not so much of a test of your creative abilities, but more of an opportunity to play with them as you never have before!


So how can you take advantage of this opportunity?

The first thing you need to do is become “the calm in the eye of the storm.”

Visually imagine if you will that you are standing in the center of a small hurricane that surrounds you. You are perfectly safe and calm in the middle as these tornado-like winds swirl around you. That safe space is your higher self. It is always calm and knows that nothing “out there”can hurt it. Now imagine you have a piece of paper in your hand with something written on it. It can have something good written on it or bad. You lift your hand with the piece of paper and let it fly with the winds. And believe me – it will fly! Higher and faster than you can imagine! Whatever you wrote on that paper is going to come to fruition faster than it ever has in history.

So what do you want to write on that piece of paper?

The choice is yours. It is up to you and only you!

Now if at first that sounds a little frightening, remember this. It Is Time and You Are Ready.

How do I know this? Because you are visiting this site and because you are reading articles such as this one. Because you are one of the people on the “leading edge” and it is no accident. Because your higher self has been preparing you to take advantage of this wonderful time in history.

And it is a wonderful time!

Pay no attention to what the media is trying to sell you! They make their money on ratings and they fight for those ratings by trying to outdo each other in the gloom and doom department.

Now please understand, I am not saying that our country is not going through problems right now. That much is obvious and it would be silly to try and ignore it. But instilling constant panic and terror into the people of this country is even sillier. It helps no one. That is just as obvious.

Panic and terror equal hasty and foolish decisions. Hence the reason it is time for you to be the calm in the eye of the storm. To take a deep breath and calmly watch things swirl around until you feel the time is right to lift up that piece of paper and let go.

You are safe, you are protected and you do not have to make any decisions until you are ready to.

Keep your thoughts focused on that calm spot. Stay away from the news and try to avoid getting into conversations with others about how “bad” the situation is. Nothing can drop your vibrational level as quickly as that kind of negative focus.

Start retraining your brain to start looking for opportunities in this situation right now. Tell yourself there is a way you can benefit from this…so what is it? Keep asking your higher self for guidance. Tell yourself “I know this is happening for a reason right now. I know there is a way I can benefit from this situation right now – guide me to what it is.”

Start trying to think outside of the box. Where there is “bad” there is always its opposite of “good”

Believe me, when this mini “crisis” is over there will be people who made a lot of money due to opportunities most others didn’t see.

This is what you have been “training” for and there is no better time than the present to put it into practice. It Is Time!

Law of Attraction Manifestation Exercise #29 - The Self Appreciation List

So, you want the Law of Attraction to work for you. You ask Universe (or your higher self, if your prefer) for a list of things that you would like to attract into your life, but time and time again they don't seem to be forthcoming.

You have probably already tried working on your thoughts, said a ton of affirmations, created a vision board and a bunch of other exercises. And while you see miracles happen once in awhile, they don't seem to happen nearly often enough or last long enough to make a permanent change in your life.

If this is true for you, then it is time to ask yourself this one serious question: What makes you think you deserve it?

What makes you think you deserve the perfect job, perfect relationship, perfect friendships, an abundance of money, a peaceful spiritual life? Can you answer that question?

If not, then this is the exercise is for you!

You see, in the eyes of Universe you are entitled to all of those things simply by existing. Simply by BEING. Since the day you were delivered on this planet you have been naturally entitled to enjoy every single thing this planet has to offer. No one has more of a right to it than you do.

So if it is not Universe that is keeping it from you (and it really isn't) than what is preventing these things from happening?

I'll ask you the question again. What makes you think you deserve it?

You see too often we do not give ourselves nearly enough credit for all that we do. We put things in the "have to" category and forget that all the wonderful things we do everyday for others are actually "choices" we choose to make.

For instance:

I "have to" go to work to pay the bills. No, actually you don't "have to" - you choose to keep your family safe and comfortable.

I "have to" take care of my kids. No you don't "have to". Technically you could skip out tomorrow. The fact of the matter is you choose to because you love them.

I "have to" clean the house, "have to" visit my parents, "have to" go food shopping, etc.

The truth is you don't "have to" do any of those things. There is no one standing over you with a gun to your head. These are choices you are making for the benefit of yourself and others.

So the question now is, why aren't you giving yourself credit for them?.

Why are you letting this pesky little critter called "ego" go on and on about all the reasons you should feel bad or guilty or undeserving and not give you credit for the 100 or so things you do every day that are positive?

That is where this exercise comes in. It is time to beat "ego" at its own game. It is time to override all those negatives with hundred of positives every week. And you're going do it again and again and again until it finally gets the message that you are not a bad person but an awesome one who works hard and it entitled to anything it asks for.

So how are you going to do this.? Simple. You are going to write an I Am Proud Of Myself List.

And you are going to do this every day until your ego finally gets it.

For instance:

I am proud of myself for going to work today even though I would have rather slept in.
I am proud of myself for getting my kids ready for school, even if I wasn't in the mood.
I am proud of myself for cleaning the house, even though I would have rather read a book.
I am proud of myself for going to the PTA meeting for my children's benefit even though I would have rather have stayed in and watched T.V.

And so on and so on.

I am proud of myself that I paid that bill, I am proud of myself I gave my friend that ride, I am proud of myself for thinking of my parents and going for a visit.

You will not believe how quickly this will start to make you feel better and more deserving all the way to your core!.

Now you might ask "what if I can't come up with things to be proud of?" Piece of cake!

Use your to-do list. If you don't normally keep a to-do list - start one now!

And everyday write out a list of what you do all day long. Such as:

Wake the kids
Make them breakfast
Get them to school
Ger ready for work
Start this project
Make those copies
Mail those bills
Call this friend
Run this errand
Call this bank
Pick up dinner
Cook dinner
Do homework with the kids, etc.

Mark off these things as you go along your day. (Extra benefit is that you will be much more organized as well as feel more accomplished.)

But now you will have your whole list in front of you of things you should be proud of. Choices you have made and followed through on, even if you didn't really feel like doing them.

Now the important part of this exercise is to write or type out the entire sentence of I Am Proud Of Myself for __________.

Don't just write that once and then list things underneath. Make sure you write out the complete sentence for every line. You are going to get this into your subconscious if it likes it or not! It is time for ego to learn its lesson!! And every day you are going to tell it "I am proud of myself for… I am proud of myself for…I am proud of myself for…". And you are going to start feeling as deserving as you naturally are.

Then watch how quickly your desires will manifest!. When you prove to yourself how deserving you really are - there will then be no resistance or pushing away when Universe naturally delivers what you have asked for.

Plus there is also the immediate benefit of simply making yourself feel good, giving yourself credit for jobs well done. You will find that even doing this exercise only once or twice will immediately make you feel better and more deserving.

So go for it today! You do deserve whatever you want to create in this life. Now prove it to your self.

What is EFT and Does It Work?

When I first heard about EFT (The Emotional Freedom Technique) a few years ago, I was a little skeptical. The idea of being able to “tap-out” negative energy seemed a little too far fetched even to me, who is pretty much open to trying any spiritual practice at least once.

But not wanting to dismiss anything out of hand, I decided to give it a try. Six years later I am still using the technique for everything from a headache to any kind of fear that might occasionally arise.

It is an amazingly simple process that works wonders on anything from physical pain to fears and phobias to simply helping one to break a bad habit. It can even help you with weight loss, feelings about lack of money, sports performance or relationship issues.

The founder of the technique, Gary Craig, explains the process of EFT as based on “a new discovery regarding the body's subtle energies. Simply stated, it is an emotional version of acupuncture, except needles aren't necessary. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips. The process is easy to memorize and is portable so you can do it anywhere.”

In a typical session there are 8 different meridian points on your body that need to be tapped while you mentally address whatever your issue might be.

So a typical session would go something like this.

Say your issue is a fear of driving over bridges. You have had this fear for awhile. Every time you have ever gone over a bridge you can feel yourself tense up, you hold your breath, your heart feels like it leaps into your throat. So this is the issue you will obviously want to be healing.

So the first question you ask yourself is on a scale of 1 to 10 how much negative energy do I feel around this subject? Say your answer is 8. So now you create a statement for yourself such as “Even though I have this intense fear of driving over bridges, I completely love and accept myself.” (There are different end phrases you can use but I have found “I completely love and accept myself” at the end of statements work surprisingly well regardless of what you are trying to fix.)

As you keep repeating your sentence again and again you will tap on the 8 places described on the EFT video or website (more information on that later). You will do these series of taps through 2 cycles.

Then you are to re-ask yourself the original question. On a scale of 1 to 10 how much fear do I feel around this subject? You will be absolutely amazed at how much your fear level will have decreased. And I am not talking about a “Yeah, well maybe there is a little difference,” I am talking about a major “Holy Canoli! I cannot believe that this worked!” kind of feeling.

The only trick (if you want to call it that) is finding exactly what the “blockage” is.

For instance when I first heard about this technique my biggest problem at the time was creating money. So I ran through a whole bunch of statements regarding money. Such as:

Even though I don’t have a lot of money right now, I love and accept myself completely. (I felt a little better.)
Even though I haven’t done as well financially as I expected to yet, I love and accept myself completely ( I felt a little more relief)

I went through a bunch more. But then I hit on the big one.

“Even though I don’t think I am deserving of a lot of money, I love and accept myself completely.” All of a sudden, I felt like a 20 pound weight had been lifted off my chest! As in physically lifted off of me! I was stunned because I hadn‘t expected a feeling like that at all. It suddenly felt as if my chest has opened up and expanded!

You see, I didn’t even know that feeling “deserving” was one of the things holding me back from making money. I was just following advice I had found at the EFT website.

In looking back now, I can see many ways I might have unconsciously picked up that vibration in my lifetime and how somehow that idea had gotten trapped up inside of me.

By tapping on those physical release points I hit it dead on and the feeling was let go immediately.

It was my first experience of going from an 8 in anxiety down to a 0 in a matter of seconds.

I was so excited I started immediately tapping out other things. My fear of driving at the time, anxiety about unpaid bills, lack of self esteem, a constant nagging stomach pain, that I had. And I was able to bring relief to all those areas (though admittedly not as quickly or as dramatically as the money one) but with another round or two of tapping was able to eliminate them.

The greatest things about this exercise is:

1. You can do it yourself so you do not need help from others (though there are trained people who can help you take it to a deeper level if you desire)
2. It is free and easy to learn! You can be doing it for yourself in as little as 10 minutes
3. You can do it anywhere - because it even works if you do it mentally. (Because of coarse there may be times when tapping yourself in public would look a little strange)
4. You can even use it to help others. My young son was amazed when I did it on him to get rid of a headache. He thought it was like "magic". (The downside is he now asks me to do it in lieu of taking medicine for the bigger things. Sorry buddy - but nice try!)
5. It also works in ways and on issues you have never even considered.

The following video is one is one of many that can be found on YouTube. This first one explains EFT in more detail and the different ways you can use it and why.

Or if you would just like to jump right to the technique see this video:

">

Also be sure to visit this site. It is a link to the original EFT site that has tons of different ways you can use it and even gives you the different sentences you should try when applying the process.

Again, if you look around a little you will see ways to deal with:

Quitting Smoking (or other bad habits)
Fear of bills or Lack of Money
Anger at Loved Ones
Physical Pains
Major Fears or Traumas

So many people contribute to this site with excellent ideas they have tried.

So give it a shot today! You might find like I did that you will end up using it all the time for instant relief!

So What Exactly Is A Vibrational Escrow Account?

As most of you know I am a big fan of Abraham-Hicks. I have studied many different teachers over the years, but I have never found one that speaks as clearly or resonates so strongly to me at my current spiritual level.

One of the concepts they mention often is the concept of each of us having a Vibrational Escrow Account.

Basically a Vibrational Escrow Account is the place where all of our dreams and desires go the minute we birth them in our minds, waiting for us to access them when we meet up with those desires on the same vibrational level.

In other words, say your desire is for a new car. The minute you have and state that desire Universe goes to work setting up the circumstances that can bring you that new car. However then let's say your next statement is "but I can't afford a new car." This is telling Universe that while you do want that car you are just not at the correct vibrational level to bring it into your experience at this moment.

So the Universe in effect puts the new car in a "Vibrational Escrow Account" while it waits for you to vibrate high enough to be a match for it.

So the "car" doesn't go away when you have the negative thought - it basically sits there waiting for you to be at a matching level to claim it.

You see, the Universe never says no to any of your desires. It does not care what you are asking for or who is doing the asking. It is totally neutral and unbiased. Only our "ego selves" convince us that we are not worthy. We are all worthy in Universe's eyes. It is our ego selves that convince us that we have to jump through hoops to deserve something.

So let's get back to the car. You have asked for it and now it sits in your Account.

So how do you gain access to it in your physical world? You need to become a vibrational match to it.

The first thing you need to do is believe that you are entitled to it. After all why wouldn't you be entitled to something as simple as a car? When the negative thoughts try to pop up about it being too expensive etc. remind yourself that that is not your problem. Universe is taking care of that part.

Then you start to visualize owning it. You imagine sitting in it and appreciating it. You imagine its color, the smell when you get inside, the smooth way it runs. You imagine hand washing it, putting gas in it, driving others around in it and simply loving every inch of it.

You see this NOW puts you at the same vibrational level to be able to attract it easily and gives Universe a vibrational level it can deliver on.

If you have any negative thoughts that seem to "push it away" simply take out those thoughts and examine them.

Write them down and then seriously question what your doubts are and where they came from. For instance:

1. Well I can't just attract a new car… Ask yourself why not? It's only a car
2. Well "everyone" knows it can take years to save up for one… Who says? People manifest them everyday. They are given to them as gifts, they win them as prizes. Of coarse I can receive one just as easily.
3. I don’t even know how to begin to manifest one. Again, not your problem. Universe will take care of that, you simply need to control your vibration around it.
4. My parents went their whole lives without actually owning a brand new car. And this has what to do with me exactly?
5. Well how can a car just simply show up in my life? Again, not your problem. Universe is the most powerful force in the universe. You think it can't handle something as simple as delivering a car?

Go through your doubts. Get them out in the open. Analyze them, change your mind about them. Then if the negatives try to come through replace them with your new common sense answers - not the old tired ones that were buried under old emotions and doubts.

Do you want to have some fun? Every once in awhile go take a "peek" into your Escrow Account and see what is waiting for you to match up with this month.

I used to love the story of Aladdin when I was a kid. The idea of the genie in the lamp, etc..

So it is no surprise to me that mentally my Vibarational Escrow Account looks like a huge cave filled with tons and tons of riches. I imagine that it is covered by this thick velvet purple curtain that I pull aside every once in awhile to take a peek and inside that cave I see stacks and stacks of money piled on top of pallets. I see my new champagne colored Escalade, I see my best selling books and super successful internet business.

I visually see all of it just sitting there waiting for me - nice, shiny and sparkling - just waiting for me to be a match for them. And they will never go away. As more desires come about, more items simply get put in the cave waiting for me to claim them.

Maybe you picture yours as a bank vault that only you have the combination to. So go take a "peek".

Decide which "thing" you would like to claim today. The new job, the new house, the new car, the new relationship, stacks of money. Get all of your doubts out of the way regarding them and start vibrating on the level you need to be to attract them to you.

Then take a step back and watch Universe do its thing and deliver it in ways you never even expected.

Today is the Day To Watch What You Say

Your thoughts create your reality. This you already know. But those thoughts spoken aloud are ten times more powerful.

The following list will demonstrate just how important it is to watch what you say in all different situations.

Turning a momentary negative thought into an entire scenario.

Quite often thoughts we think drift in momentarily and then quickly drift out again. A lot of the time we don't put a lot of emotion in them. Most of the time our mind moves onto a different thought a moment later.

Everyone is going to have a negative thought once in awhile, but if there is not a lot of emotion behind it, there is a very good chance it is not going to affect your reality significantly.

Spoken aloud however these same thoughts take on a different power. Especially when said to another person, because then you normally have to back up your statement with a "story".

For example, you are talking with a friend about a new business venture you are in the middle of.

The thought "I don't quite know if this is going to work out" drifts through your mind and you say it out loud. Your friend naturally asks you why not? Now you have to come up with all the reasons why it might not work out to make your doubts sound plausible to your friend and to possibly gain some sympathy.

So you say "well if this happens, then that won't happen. And if this person doesn't come through then that person will not come through. And what about if this happens?"

Now you have just built an entire scenario of negative possibilities around your original thought. If the thought had been left alone, it quite possibly would have just drifted away - no harm - no foul.

Be careful who you are talking out loud to.

Have you ever really been psyched up about an idea you have come up with?. The excitement and energy keeps building and building until you are absolutely positive that nothing can keep you from making it a success? This is the positive vibrational place that you want to create from.

However, now you make the mistake of telling your idea to someone and within 2 seconds they say something that completely bursts your bubble. This time it is they who build a bunch of negative scenarios around your idea and put doubts in your head that were not there before. And now, no matter what you do, you can't seem to build up the same excitement or determination that you had before.

If you have a really good plan or idea - be careful who you share it with. If you really feel the need to "get it out there" write it in a journal, unless you are absolutely positive that the person you tell it to will be as excited as encouraged as you are.

Watch habitual negatives that come out of your mouth.

I don't know why I used to do this or even where I picked it up from, but a bad habit I used to have was to constantly say "I was tired." If there was a lull in a conversation or even if I just simply yawned, those were the first words out of my mouth. Even if I wasn't actually tired! (I know, it sounds weird) but I found after I said it a couple of times a day, sure enough that's how I really started to feel.

I eventually started to catch myself saying it for no reason and would laugh at myself like "Why on Earth are you saying that? It's not even true" I had kind of made it like a conversation filler.


Sometimes when we say these things it is just out of habit, but keep saying them and after awhile they can become your condition. So be careful what you say habitually. Things like "that makes me sick", or "I am sick and tired", or "I feel like crap" or any of the other sayings you might have picked up along the way.

Here are some more examples: I wrote a post about a month ago about How To Win At Gambling Using The Law of Attraction. One of the things I suggested to watch out for was using typical "Casino Talk" These are sayings that I hear people utter all the time when they are gambling and then they wonder why they aren't winning.

Such as:

How much are you down?
How much money do you have left?
Nobody seems to be hitting today (or the opposite).
Everybody seems to be hitting today except me.
I’m never lucky in this place.
I can’t get any play.
I can’t seem to do anything
I hate this place
This place Sucks!

Now these are just things I hear in casinos! What about the other places you go everyday? What negatives do you hear people constantly saying in your work place or in your kids school yard? How many of them are you guilty of saying yourself?

So for the next few days pay attention to all of the things that you say out loud. Question yourself when you say them. Ask yourself "Do I really mean that? Is that true? If I said something different would I feel better? Is there a better way of putting it?" You might be amazed at how your outside circumstances will change just by changing what you say out loud.

Happy Creating!

P.S. I just wanted to let you know that I will not be posting again until Monday. I am going to one of my favorite places in the world this weekend (Atlantic City) and plan on winning big! I am going to follow my own advice that I wrote about in the gambling post listed above and plan on having an awesome weekend! I hope you have a great one too! See you on Monday…

Do You Feel As If You Do Not Have "Time" To Apply The Law of Attraction?

I only get to see my uncle about once a year because he lives a pretty long distance away.

I wish I could have spent a lot more time with him, especially when I was younger, because my uncle is a master attractor!

I was probably about 10 years old when he came to Thanksgiving dinner one year all excited about this person called Jane Roberts who was able to channel this person named Seth.

I remember thinking: 1. I was terrified and 2. He was out of his head! A lively debate happened over the table that night as he attempted to explain to the adults how Seth worked and the message he was trying to bring.

My uncle had brought a copy of one of the books (I think it was Seth Speaks) and I remember it had a very unflattering picture of Jane Roberts on the cover while she was in mid-trance.

At 10 years old, that really frightened me. Not just the picture of coarse, but the idea that this woman's body was "taken over" by some spirit. Up until that point in my life my parents had taught me that "there was no such things as ghosts" but here was my adult uncle, stating differently.

Year after year my uncle got more into the material (he was REALLY ahead of his time) This was in the mid-70's. I wasn't influenced very much seeing as that I didn't get to see him very often, but would overhear my mother every once in awhile, talk about what new thing my "crazy" uncle was up to. We all affectionately called him our "crazy" uncle - something he always laughed at good naturedly. (If I only knew then, what I know now. I've since apologized to him by the way, for thinking he was looney tunes. He of coarse, accepted graciously)

I was around the age of 20 myself when the Law of Attraction "bug" hit me. I went from a total non-believer to becoming obsessed with the subject. Trying to get my hands on everything I could to find out more. Yes, I even read every Seth book in print.

Anyway I was probably about 22 or 23 when my uncle met me in Manhattan for lunch one day and we were discussing how my spiritual growth was going.

I remember complaining that I loved the concept, the only problem was I didn't "have time" to apply it. My job was crazy, I had been in the middle of a tough relationship, there were money problems, etc. My entire focus was on the craziness of my existence, that I didn't have time to be peaceful, calm, to meditate and to get centered.

My uncle looked at me like I was crazy for a moment, then said very emphatically "It sounds to me like you don't have time not to. Don't you realize that once you do master it, all of those other problems will go away?"

That statement made a big impact on me. Well…duh! It made total sense. I just never had anyone state it so bluntly like that before.

So if you have been feeling as if you don't have "time" to apply the Law in your life because things are so hectic right now…I am going to give you the same advice he gave me.

You don't have time not to.

Find the time to meditate, take the time to read more inspirational books, find a way to do some of the exercises. Once you master it, all of those other "problems" will fade away.

Oh! And in case you were wondering, my uncle is a professional healer and intuit now. He combines physical healing with correct mental thought and even famous actors and professional athletes have a problem getting an appointment with him! He has finally found his "true calling".
