Getting what I want

Most of my life I have focused on what I don't want and have ended up getting exactly that.  In the past few years I have discovered a different way of being and my life has changed.  I found that if I focus on the negative I get negativity, but if I focus on the positive then that is what I get in my life.  Let's say I want more money.  In the past, I would ruminate on how little money I had.  Guess what?  I wouldn't have any money.  No matter how much I made, the money would slip through my fingertips.  Lately, my focus has been on having piles of money, enough so I can do whatever I want in life: travel, creative projects, buying gifts for others (and myself).  If I can stay focused on oodles of money and be excited about having it and spending it than money pours in.  If I focus on how little I have, that I can't pay the bills, that I can't get what I want then the money almost instantly dries up and disappears.  It is a constant practice, after all, it has only been a few years of trying to be positive and the rest of my life of negativity and not getting what I wanted, but at least I have discovered the secret.  There are a ton of resources out there on this very idea and many of them are not new.  I will list a few just below. 

Resources:

1)  The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer

2)  The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

3)  The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason (originally written in 1926!)

4)  Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

5)  Manifesting Change (Audio) by Mike Dooley

6)  Ask and it is Given by Abraham-Hicks

7)  Any of the live cd's from Abraham-Hicks

Your practice today is to stay in the positive.  Your thoughts can be changed, it just takes practice.

What I want (part one)

I was meditating last night at my guide communication class and I saw myself as this vital, energetic, excited man.  As I went deeper in, visions came to me of how to be that.  It all had to do with feeding my core.  It meant all the things that I always say I want to do, but rarely get to.  Meditating, eating healthy food, exercising, exposing myself to the positive of the world.  All the stuff that we all know would be good for us if we could just get to it.  That is part one of what I want.  It is the key to everything else.  Let us begin.

Being sick is good for my health

I treat myself the best when I am sick.  First of all, I finally give myself permission to relax.  Forgetting all the things that seemed so important, my body has time to heal.  I buy fruit and vegetables and actually have time to use them.  Cooking all my own food, I eat better.  I make healthy teas and dishes full of veggies.  I give my mind time to connect with my body and find that it knows exactly what I need.  I feel how eating too much sugar hurts my stomach, how eating ice cream fills my body with phlegm.  I give me time for me and my body begins to respond by getting better.  The amazing thing is that if I were able to slow down in the first place and listen to my body I probably wouldn't have gotten sick at all.  So, the lesson for today is to slow down and listen (even when I get better).
