3rd day in #40days

So, on my third day of meditation. I'm enjoying doing two different guided meditations daily by davidji. The universe even helped out on Saturday by sending a Fly to remind me to be in the now. It pushed me into meditating that day when I'd kind of been putting it off because I had other things to do.

It's definitely helping already in a few ways.

First, I'm sleeping better and deeper. No more toss, turn, toss, turn. And even if it didn't do all sorts of other good, that would be a reason in and of itself.

Second, I'm more conscious of my thoughts - and there are so damned many. But in this, I'm training my egoic brain to stop filling my mind with static. Because that is what 99% of our thoughts are. Pure and utter static. Just words and the feelings they engender that muck up our thoughts and vibration. And with all that static, is it any wonder I had a hard time hearing the universe as often as I would like? I tended to catch the warnings, but was missing out on the inspiration.

It's helping me to focus. Focus on now. Focus on where I am at. Focus on being happy here in my basement apartment. Focus on joy.

Some of my struggles:

1 - In just doing it. Once I lay down and turn the meditation on, I'm set and I love it. But forcing myself to 'find time' is something I'm having to change my thought pattern on. This is something that I enjoy, so why do I need to 'find time?'

2 - I have a hard time with earphones as they give me head and jaw aches. So I usually just listen over the speakers on my tablet or MP3 player. But davidji's voice goes up and down and I miss half the words. And then at the end when he does the Om sound, it's so loud it makes me jump. I have several music meditation cds. I might switch to them.

Okay, well I'm off to get things done. Happy meditating, everyone :)

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.
