Give the logical mind a rest

I'm going to talk today about the logical mind. Now - not in terms of left/right brain, that is something entirely different. What I want to discuss is the side of your brain that wants to make sense of things.

You know the section: it says things like "Why doesn't this work for me?" and "I don't get it."

We've all heard that from ourselves, and 99 times out of 100, we think we are logically thinking things out so we can find the answer, thus fixing our problem.

But guess what? Thinking those kinds of thoughts and feeling the emotions that come with them actually attract the opposite to what you want.

For instance, saying: "I don't get it" over and over will do nothing except make sure you never get it.

I'm an inquisitive sort and when something doesn't happen the way I expect it to, I want to investigate as to why. But guess what? That is the antithesis to getting what I want. If my premise is "Why doesn't this work?" then guess what? I'm going to attract all the reasons it doesn't work AND will also make sure not to attract what I actually want.

Instead, what should you say/think? First off, when thoughts like "Why doesn't this work for me?" and "I don't get it." come to mind, let them float by but try not to give them your attention. Instead, flip your thoughts over to something positive. ANYTHING positive. The first step is to get yourself in a happy place. Once you are in that happy place, then you can create an affirmation that counteracts the original thoughts. (I have found a great way to pop into a positive/happy frame of mind is to put my earphones in my hears and turn on the song Happy. After one or two times the song has played, I'm in a much better mood.)

So "Why doesn't this work for me?" could  become "I love how my wishes and desires instantly come true." and "I don't get it" can become "I am an amazing manifestor."

Once you're in that happy place, at first your logical mind may try to butt in and give you its reasoning. But guess what? Your logical mind is just a part of you. So you can thank it for its input, but assure it that you've got it handled. Politely ask it to be quiet while you do your thing. And guess what? If you're in a calm/happy state, it will do so.

Pity Party: Party of one

It is difficult looking into the mirror when I am dealing with having what I have to call a midlife crisis. It took so long to get passed my past. I still struggle with some things, but others I have overcome in a large way. So here I sit - I don't feel 43 for the most part, but the hard thing is - I am.  All the things most people are learning in their early 20s, I am dealing with. Now, that would not be bad if I was 21. But I am not 21. I'm 43. The only single men around me are divorced. Most with children. Great. Just what I wanted. (And yes, that was sarcasm.) Not to mention the fact that I seem to attract men I would never be attracted to, not in a million years. Yeah - definitely putting out the wrong vibration.

Review: Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Coaching Program

OK, I did it. I completed the Bob Proctor 10-week Intensive Program. And intensive it was!~ This program has its good points and its bad points, all which will be mentioned here. But make no mistake about it - If I had it all to do over again, I would! The Bob Proctor Intensive was a 10-week program that used "You Were Born Rich", one of Bob's programs, as its base. The first four weeks were spent with reading intently, watching the DVDs intently, and listening to CDs of the DVDs intently. The last four weeks were spent working toward a specific goal.

Look for the Light - #positive

Image
You know how they always say it is darkest before the dawn? Well, unfortunately, the same goes for emotions. Sometimes we feel about as low as we can get before we make some sort of breakthrough. So next time things seem overwhelming and you think you are drowning, look for the light. It could be anything. A laugh from a friend, a dog sunning itself, even a pretty flower. Or, it could be getting that book you have been wanting for months. Embrace that light. Hold it tight. Remember it. Take a picture if you need to, so that when the darkness encroaches again, you have a clear beam to make it go away. Look for the light.
