What are you thinking?

The Law of Attraction works in your life 24/7, and a recent Daily Quote from Abraham says:

 Whatever you’re thinking about is literally like planning a future event. When you’re worrying, you are planning. When you’re appreciating you are planning…What are you planning?   — Abraham                                                    **Excerpted from the workshop in Silver Spring, MD on                                               Saturday, April 19th, 1997 # 440

 What you are focused on and thinking about at any given time is what you are attracting to you.  There is no other way, so you really need to be aware of what you are thinking about…at all times.

If you are focused on yourself and appreciation of all your blessings, busy pre-paving great things for your future or just appreciating all that is around you, you are definitely having a good day.

If you are thinking about controversial conversations you have had, dramas going on in other people’s lives (or your own), or doubt about your ability to accomplish something, then you are just attracting more of the same to you; judging and finding lack in yourself or others’ actions or words would also be included in this.

If you want to live a positive, happy and joy filled life, then you have to keep your thoughts in a positive and joyful place… there is no other way.

If you think back on something that did not go as you hoped or planned, I am sure you will remember your doubts about its success.  If you have a contentious relationship with someone, be it friend, family, co-worker or acquaintance, I am sure that you expect that to happen every time you see them… and it does! Go figure.

What you think about is what you get, so when you are thinking about an upcoming situation or event, conversation or action you plan to take, why not see it turning out better than you even anticipate?  When you learn to focus your thoughts on positive results, conversations and situations, then that is what you will be attracting to you on a regular basis.

It is so easy to catch yourself thinking of things that are not positive, and turning your thoughts to something better…it just takes practice.  When you are driving especially, the mind wanders and not always to a good place.  I find myself having to pay attention often to stop from going back over something that happened or a conversation already over and done with… and getting back on track with good things that pertain only to me.

It is not our job to fix or change anyone else, so spending your time thinking about the situation of another is just taking up time that you could be using to pre-pave a wonderful new experience for yourself.

Pay attention to what you are thinking, and as Abraham says, “planning”, because the more you think about it the sooner the essence of it WILL appear in your reality; it, something similar or even better than you imagined.

If you can attract to you anything you want, attract those things of positive, high energy vibrations that will make your life everything you hoped for and more! Think good thoughts, therefore plan great things…it is one habit you will be glad you acquired.

Thanks for stopping by… until next time, wishing you the gift of believing ~

Law of Attraction and Diversity…

Posted on by
Reply

The Law of Attraction, “that which is like unto itself is drawn”, means like attracts like. It draws to you not every single thing, but those things (out of the diversity of all things) that match your own vibrational level of energy at every moment of each day.

Diversity is not just to be tolerated, or at times accepted, but noticed and appreciated for all that it offers you. If there was not diversity of almost every single thing, then you would not have the contrast you need to choose your personal desires and shoot off “rockets of desire” to the Universe for what it is you do want, as explained in Ask and It Is Given by Jerry and Esther Hicks.

Let’s take something simple like trees… every part of the country and the world has different trees.  If diversity was not needed, then every tree everywhere would be exactly the same (how boring would that be?). When was the last time you noticed anything about trees, let alone their difference, and had an appreciation for the variety they provide?  Or are you too busy for that sort of thing?

I walk in the subdivision behind my house on a regular basis. Another example of diversity would be the difference in architecture, landscaping, and even grass from house to house in one subdivision.  It gives you the chance to think I would/would not want that type of house, plants, trees, flowers, size of yard, etc. You have to be paying attention and looking for things to appreciate when you are observing the world around you…then you begin to be aware of the diversity in all things.

If the Law of Attraction brought all the same things to each of us, it would be a very unpleasant world.  Everything would be the same, and equal, and we would pretty much function by rote; nothing individualized by who we are… I can’t imagine anything more boring because that would totally suck!

As you go through your day pick something…anything… and notice things that are similar, but not exactly the same.  Try one thing, and then find another and notice the (sometimes subtle) differences, and choose which one you prefer.  It doesn’t have to change anything right then, you are just getting in the habit of acknowledging and appreciating differences the diversity of things offer.

When you get that down pat, you will realize that appreciation of difference does in fact provide the contrast you need to choose your preferences for things which are important to you. Whether it is people, places, things, conversations or situations you encounter, appreciation of the diversity and your ability to have a preference puts you at a higher level of vibrational energy. You are then attracting to you the type of things you prefer on a daily basis.

Noticing and appreciating diversity means you are awake and aware, not just going through life in a fog. It’s easy and it’s free… what more could you want than something that will definitely improve your daily life? Give it a try and see how well it works for you.

Law of Attraction and a sneaky stumbling block…

Posted on by

As you know, the Law of Attraction reacts to our focus and energy level. So… you have gotten rid of the drama in your life (yours and other’s), you have released your anger, doubts, fear, criticism and other negative habits… for the most part. And yet, even though your daily life is much better, it is still not as you intend it.

There has just got to be something you are missing. You think and think of what could be the stumbling block? All of a sudden one day you hear the word “contempt” and it grabs your attention for no particular reason; the same day you are reading something and the word “contempt” shows up again. Strange… maybe this is something to think about, look up the meaning of, and seriously consider?

We generally think of contempt in relation to “contempt of court”, but never realize that when we judge someone else’s behavior and find it/them “less than”, we are in fact holding them or their actions in contempt. It’s a sneaky little thing, contempt…

You have learned over time, working with and studying the Law of Attraction, that judging others is a negative emotion and the type of focus that will kick you out of your Vortex, so you always end your negative, judging sentence with, “Well, it’s their choice”, “Well, it seems to work for them”, or “Bless their heart”, etc. in hopes of an appearance of accepting behavior. Good luck with that; it doesn’t negate your negativity.

Since we are all the Spirit of God, walking around in our individual bag of skin and bones in this life, the better choice would be to see others as God would see them, and appreciate the same Spirit (of God) in them. Each and every one of us is doing what we feel we need to do to get along, and get by, the best way we know how… good, bad or indifferent.

It is not our job to fix or change anyone else, so when we see someone doing what we find as not acceptable, we should feel free to KEEP OUR OPINIONS TO OURSELF; unless they ask for your help or opinion. Turn your thoughts immediately to the fact that they are trying, and it seems right to them… see them accomplishing their intended goal, no matter which road they are taking to get there.

The only other choice is to not dwell on the behavior of another, whether you agree with them or not… and focus on your life, your goals, the intentions you have set for yourself which will keep you in your high level of vibrational energy.

You may think you are not being negative, but when you inadvertently feel contempt for someone else by even thinking (to yourself) that what they have said or are doing is “less than acceptable” in your estimation, well… you are definitely being negative. That’s on you, and a habit it will take a lot of your focus to break.

I bring this up because it has happened to me. I live a very positive life, but it felt like I was missing something. What I was missing was the sneaky little thing of contempt. After looking up the definition, I then realized what a hidden stumbling block it is to having the Law of Attraction work to my benefit.

If you can stop yourself from feeling that something or someone (their actions) are unacceptable, it will take you a long way towards releasing your need to look at situations with contempt. I don’t think people do that on purpose, it is just an unknowing reaction when we don’t agree with something. I know that is how it was for me.

Catching yourself, and reminding yourself that you have released the need for contempt of anything in life makes it much easier to follow through. You return to a positive outlook on life and all others, which as we know kicks the Law of Attraction into high gear as far as bringing to you things that match your higher level of vibrational energy.

Look around, and see if contempt is sneaking around in your life and keeping you from realizing your hopes and dreams. Release the need for contempt, and consciously think through your words and thoughts for a week or two and see if you can break that unconscious habit of seeing others, or their actions as “less than”.

Remaining in your high level of vibrational energy does take awareness of your thoughts¸ words and actions, but it is SO worth the effort when you see the Law of Attraction working to your benefit, rather than it working in your life by default. Don’t let contempt be a sneaky little stumbling block for you any longer.

Letting go… of Pessimism

You can’t fool the Law of Attraction.  You can’t pretend to be optimistic when you are really pessimistic about something. The energy levels of both are distinctly different, whether you realize it or not.

Someone asks you if you think something will work, and you don’t want to disappoint them so you say you think it will… BUT in your heart you really don’t think it will, then that is what you are thinking of and focused on.  All the reasons you don’t think it will work are flashing through your mind. Even though you stand there with a smile on your face for the other person, the energy you are creating for yourself and them (and their project) is overwhelmingly negative… YUK.

You tell your family or best friend, “I’m GOING to win the lottery, I can feel it!!” with a huge grin on your face… BUT your mind is saying, “I don’t know why I think that, I never win”, or “they are going to think I’m an idiot because it probably won’t happen”, or “I wish I hadn’t said that out loud to others because I’m really going to feel stupid when I don’t win…again”.  You get the point.

You can’t shoot for a good outcome if you are thinking and focusing on all the reasons it can’t happen…it doesn’t work.  No matter how upbeat you are about anything, the minute you focus on the pessimistic side of it, the possibilities that it may not or cannot really happen, you have defeated yourself before you begin.

Learning to let go of pessimism is a personal thing.  It doesn’t involve anyone else, their opinion or even their thoughts on a subject.  If you have a new idea, plan, project or intention for your life and you really know it is doable, then all your enthusiasm and belief, therefore positive energy about it, will draw positive results to you.

If, however, you blab your new idea, plan, project or intention for your life to others who you know will not totally agree with your positive view on it, then you  will incur their negative thoughts and energy about it… putting doubts (pessimism) in your own mind.

Keeping your information and intentions to yourself is one way to cut down on pessimism, yours or others that will affect you.  Focusing on your plans or thoughts in a positive way, seeing it actually happening how, or similar to, what you want… feeling the way it will feel to have accomplished your goal… that is what will attract to you the success you are looking for.

The Law of Attraction responds to your thoughts, the way you feel, and your level of vibrational energy… good, bad, or indifferent.  So, if you want things to work to your advantage, you have to curb the tendency to follow good feelings about something with the negativity of pessimism…again, yours or that of others.

You can read much more about the Law of Attraction and pessimism on the Abraham-Hicks website under journals and learn more about the Teachings of Abraham there.

Learning to let go of pessimism takes practice, but as you get better at it, and let the positive thoughts, feelings and actions take hold, the Law of Attraction will bring to you more and more good things of the same level of positive vibrational energy. That can even mean the miracle you are looking for!

The Law of Attraction – How to get through a holiday weekend ~

Posted on by
Reply

The Law of Attraction works with your current vibration, so make it a good one (always). Holidays can be stressful or upsetting, but they can also be an absolute joy… the choice is yours alone.

Families seem to have higher expectations on holidays… they sometimes feel you need to attend all family functions whether it works for you or not. And many times we (anyone) say yes because it is what we always do; so we don’t upset their applecart, so to speak, or live with the usual repercussions.

Forget the travel inconvenience and expense, plans that have to be cancelled or changed, opportunities missed… we just do what others expect of us at times because it is easier, or a habit that we have not yet realized we can break if it does not bring us joy.

Joy is the key to life; it is what keeps you in that high energy vibration that attracts more of the same joyful experiences to you.  It’s a simple as that. When you find yourself contemplating your next move or answer to an invitation, stop and think if that will be a joyful experience for you before you agree.

If getting together with family and/or friends is a happy time for you, then go and thoroughly enjoy your time with them.  If, however, it brings nothing but stress and hassles, you might want to rethink your plans; doing something when you REALLY don’t want to generates negative energy before, during and usually after the event. That is not a good program, no matter what.

If you feel the need to find a happy medium, then maybe you can attend, but only for a shorter time…it doesn’t have to be all day.  If you know there will be one person there that you would rather not see, you can always pre-pave the day seeing them acting as you would prefer they act; pre-pave enjoying time with them for a change. (see Pre-paving the What Is section on my site)

If you know there will end up being arguments between some of the folks attending, don’t focus on that when you think of being there.  You are just drawing more of it into your experience.  If your focus is on a peaceful, joyful time filled with laughter, love and lots of good conversation (and food), you will attract those attending with the same energy and intentions to you while you are there.

So the bottom line is you have three choices:

  1. If you really don’t want to participate in any gathering, then you should decline the invitation. You don’t have to make or give excuses, just a “Thanks for asking, but I won’t be able to make it” will do.
  2. If you feel you must attend, for whatever reason, make it a short but sweet visit, avoiding all the folks you feel negativity from; focus on your own joy of life, and not their crabbing, complaining, inappropriate remarks or whatever.
  3. If you decide to attend, and love spending time with the folks involved, then go with joy in your heart and don’t let anything or anyone even temporarily draw you down to a negative level of energy with negative conversations or actions. Expect everyone there to appreciate your love and joy and participate in it with you for the time you are together.

When you get the hang of how the Law of Attraction can work so well in your life by remaining in a high energy vibration, you are many times reluctant to willingly participate in anything that might drag you down.  That is as it should be, and you will find that the higher your vibrational energy remains for longer periods of time, you are no longer attracting to you negative situations.

You may find that because you no longer attract the negative situations you used to, the gathering you were reluctant to attend actually turns out much better than you anticipated… the Law of Attraction is doing its job, and you find joy wherever you go.

As always, the choice is yours and yours alone.  Whether you decide to participate in holiday celebrations with family and friends or not, you have the ability to always remain at a high level of personal energy no matter what you do. Choose to find joy in all that you do, and you will find it in any situation. It has to be that way… it’s the law (of Attraction)!
