HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!

Have had a very good christmas myself – I hope you all have had a nice break celebrating in whichever way you normally do. My family celebrates by eating far too much it seems!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!
Had a lovely time though. Lots of lovely presents given and recieved too which is wonderful. I am just sitting at home now wondering about when I am going to clean up the house. It is a total tip to be honest but hey ho. I will cheerfully ignore it as i have visitors today.
Lovely beef casserole on the go in the slow cooker, plenty of coffee to drink and mince pies in the cupboard. All is right with the world.
Anyhoo – the secret. I was watching my Eddie Izzard DVD last night (christmas pressie from my sis – thank you!!) and there were trailers for his autobiography/film type of thing. BELIEVE.
A quote from the trailer which seems to be true was “In order to be a comedian you have to believe you are a comedian. In order to be an astronaut you have to believe you are an astronaut.” In order to achieve you must believe. That is the secret and it’s teachings.
In the book it says the secret is something which sucessful people already know about: this would seem to be a case in point. Another of his quotes which i like is “One life: live it.” (which is off a landrover in fact). But it is so true.
I have had a few weeks where things have been quite difficult for me. In particular for the past few days I have been feeling very moody. VERY moody. I have found myself thinking through past events which were very painful for me, which I am not sure why I am revisiting. I have tried to allow myself to revisit these things and not worry that they would drag me down into feeling depressed. After all, I simply need to give the merry go round a little push and watch the depression go by. I don’t have to allow it to stay as I have done in the past.
It is dififcult though. Sometimes it really worries me. I try not to let it.
I am looking forward into 2010 with real resolve and great hope: I believe I will be sucessful in my aims and goals. Therefore I will be.

 

had a minor breakdown but back to being me again – phew!!

I have had a really tough couple of weeks – work has been crazy – with lots of students with lots of issues and I have been finding it very difficult to switch off after work. I had a minor breakdown but back to being me again – phew!!
I have also had the worst run in with my (now previous) landlady and ended up moving house and feel much more settled now. Phew!
The secret stuff kind of went out of the window for a little while – I just wasn’t able to see past all of the nonsense going on so easily.
Also, I have had so little time to even think, much less do anything else. Nightmare!!
Anyway, things are much more settled now. I am much happier than I was. I just wish I could have taken the advice of Bill Harris and started with the feelings of happiness and of everything happening for a reason and not let the bad feelings get in the way for such a long while.
Hey ho – back in the saddle now.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

 

doing better this week – much better!

I have managed to make much more time for the visualising and other things this week – doing better this week. I have read new articles from the website I signed up for, made some more progress setting myself goals and have spent some time filling in more ideas in my special secret book.

I was looking at what things I am thankful for – it is thought that if you ask for something from a place of peace and happiness you are more likely to recieve it.

I had a list of 4 things from when I initially started this whole process: now I have 12. DEFINITE progress there!!

Things I am thankful for include:

Family, friends, my lovely kitties, my job, being so connected with people again, having little hannah.

It is lovely to see the list growing so much. I can only assume that the more I keep this up the longer the list will become.

“The point of power is right now” therefore I need to act now to achieve what I want.

I am also planning to do some serious charity work over the next year – more details to follow.

“You have to give in order to recieve”.

 

lots of inspiration, not so much time

I managed to fit in 5 minutes of visualizing today – in my car waiting for my sister. Lots of inspiration, not so much time …
I typically do my visualisation stuff before bed, but I have been so tired lately it’s all I can do to read something never mind really focussing and concentrating on something. I really need to focus myself once more as I really want this to work.
I had gotten into a good routine before, but since I had the flu and then got back to work and had to catch up with everything it has all gone by the wayside. I MUST make time again though. I cannot stress enough how important this is to me.
I read an article/conversation with Joe Vitale last week which had some excellent inspirational quotes in it.
“Happiness and being at peace is fundamentally a choice.” He also talks about how no matter what you may want in life – whatever goals you may set – the important thing is to be happy in the now. When you are, that makes your vibration higher and more powerful to the universe. You will therefore be more likely to recieve what you set out to achieve.
He also says “The point of power is right now.” So what you do and feel right now is what will shape your future. Whatever you are planning to achieve “do it from a place of peace and safety and security.”
His three step process is as follows: “Be happy now, choose what you’d like to experience next, start working towards it.”
It is also good to have it written down that work is involved in this process – these things won’t necessarily fall into my lap. I will have to work towards them with more than visualisation.
Any thoughts/encouragement gratefully recieved….

 

another inspiring evening

I went to a different spiritualist church tonight than the one I used to go to. I was another inspired evening. And lo and behold the medium started to talk about sending out positive thoughts and vibrations in order to recieve postitive things. Then he talked of the law of attraction and the importance of spending some time every day tapping into your spiritual vibes in order to make the day go more smoothly and for you to be more successful in your endeavours.
I feel I have let things go a little this week in terms of making time to visualise and meditate on my positive vibrations. I have been so busy and so tired I have found it difficult to really. I need to start again with this much more earnestly. It’s not that I haven’t been doing it at all, I just haven’t been doing it with as much conviction or concentration as before. I haven’t been devoting the right amount of time to the ideas.
I was reading an article last night which talks of reaching for the stars which states ” you constantly have the opportunity to be more and have more.” It talks of allowing your positive emotions now effect your future self. It talks of banishing negative feelings and trying to turn them on their heads if you can. Even if this requires you to really analyse those negative feelings to discover their root cause, dealing with /forgiving yourself for thise feelings then moving on to more positive outlooks that is what you need to do.
You should then state clearly what you want to recieve and believe you have already recieved it: live your life as though you are already there. Therefore you will give of the right vibration to recieve what you desire according to the laws of attraction. Be grateful for what you have now and watch out for signs. instincts and nudges which could set you on your path more successfully.
Any thoughts/encouragement gratefully recieved.

 

Secret Shifters

Today I am thinking about some things I can use to help me achieve what I want to in life. My secret shifters.
Things that automatically make me happy and therefore more receptive to the right vibrations for recieving the correct things.
So, my biggest and best secret shifters are:
MY CATS – they are so cute and make me so happy. They also give me a lot of love and make me feel a lot of love also. “The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit.” I always have the cats with me at bedtime and always give them some fuss just before I start to visualise my goals. That way I am vibrating on the best possible frequency to recieve.
FRIENDS – especially Dawn and little Hannah. I again love them so much they get me vibrating at the right frequency right away.
Music – cheesier the better sometimes. Also, classical music. It depends how I am feeling I guess. It can totally lift my mood and energise me.
I am carrying on with the visualisation and the morning thanks – as usual any encouragement/comments gratefully recieved.

 

more inspiration…..

I can’t quite believe it – coincidence or not? You decide. It is certainly more inspiration …
I have been logging into this site to the page I saved as my favourites page – which happens to be the page where you invite people to advertise on your blog. I have been quietly ignoring that until yesterday.
I set it up with ads – then when I read one it directed me to a website which offers a course to help you develop your understanding of the secret and how to use it.
I have since signed up to the site and printed off this weeks lesson and am halfway through reading it. Very helpful stuff.
I also ordered a demo of Holosync – a CD to help with meditation and visualisation. I am very hopeful they will give me the focus I need in order to achieve my goals.
I can’t believe I have ignored this opportunity to access these extra resources!!
I spent some time visualising last night – my key goal being to achieve financial stability. I really focussed on how much money I would need and thought about ways to get it. “how can I achieve this” rather than “I’ll never manabge that.”
I have some ideas of things that could develop into this amount of money. I just need to keep my focus and follow the direction that takes me in.
As usual, any comments/encouragement gratefully recieved.

 

OK – back on topic

I felt inspired to respond to the green behaviour blog I have signed up to recently to post about the weekly Wednesday challenge.
Back to the topic though – I am still keeping up with the secret ideas at the moment. No monetary progress so far though.
I was reading in a magazine some tips for a happy life which suggested I should meditate on key quotes for an hour per day. AN HOUR PER DAY. I really can’t imagine how I could fit that in…. should I spend that amount of time devoted to this? I want it to work – I believe in the absolute simplicity of it – but I couldn’t possibly devote all of that time. It made me concerned that I may need to give it more thought and more time in order to achieve anything.
Hmm….. anyway.
“Your current thoughts create your future life.”
So, I must focus on the positive and what is important to me and behave as though I am alrwady where I want to be.
My future – the future I want to have – shows me having a house of my own, living happily within my means, being healthy, happy and more spiritual.
So, if I believe I have achieved all of that already then I will be on the path to recieving those things.
I have to “see myself living in abundance and I will attract it.”
Any thoughts/encouragement gratefully recieved…..

 

Green challenge

This week the green challenge is to go without getting any plastic bags from shops you visit.
I only just read this today – so I must admit I was unprepared for the challenge. I have, still, managed the whole week with only one carrier bag from the take away to keep my food warm.
I always take my own bags to the supermarket – if I need any extra I will buy one of the bags there which usually is raising money for charity anyway.
So, there is no excuse for anyone to get themselves plastic bags at the supermarket. The effect on the environment – from bags being thrown out and being left to litter the streets to huge landfill sites full of non-biodegradable waste is immense and needs to be stopped.
Go without your carrier bags people – for the good of the planet!!!

 

The Parking Space Test

One of the most simple tests of whether your visualisation skills are up to speed given in the book, is to visualise the parking space you need and then you will receive it.
I tried this twice today – the first time it worked as I found a space in the ordinarily very crowded work car park.
This evening i tried it on my way home from art class – I found a space but it was on the opposite side of the road to where I had visualised. It was a difficulty spot to get into though, and yet I was able to get in first time.
Success then…. to a degree.
Thank you!!

 

Quote of the day

Quote of the day:
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.” Dr Martin Luther King.
The three steps in achieving the life you want and desire are as follows:
1) Ask
2) Believe
3) Recieve
It sounds excessively simple – which is part of what I like about it.
I am also reminded of another quote – I’m not sure where I heard it:
“Don’t be affraid to want something. Just don’t necessarily expect it to look like what you thought it would.”
So – I have asked for the things I want. Some of these I have listed here, others I haven’t yet. I must then believe I have already recieved them in order to be vibrating on the right frequency so that I am capable of recieving them.
So, I spend time before I sleep and when I wake visualising the things I want – what my routine would be like if I had them already. I also wake with thanks every day. With each step I take on getting up I am saying in my mind “thank you” with each footstep.
Therefore, I must be on my way to recieving.
“whatever the mind can concieve it can achieve.”
Any thoughts, comments or encouragement as usual are gratefully recieved.

 

My vision Board.

All images via Google.
OK – so here are the things on my vision board at the moment:
A new car
Happiness
My own home….
With a roaring open fire.
I have also made out a cheque to me from the universe for £150,000 – that’s how much money I will need to clear my debts (including my mortgage) and start a fresh up North. At the moment I am only able to rent a place and that is shared with two other people.
Now the secret says to imagine and act like you already have the things you want and need. That I need to spend a little time each day visualising the things on my vision board – but really visualizing. So that they seem very real to me.
I have been doing that, and I have been carrying my secret book with inspirational quotes in and also my vision board ideas in. The idea is – every time I have some time to read it/add to it it refocuses my mind. But even just seeing it there in my bag sets me off thinking about it all. In this way I will hopefully be thinking about it all enough for it to work.
Quote for the day is “If you can see it in your mind, you’re going to hold it in your hand.”
Any thoughts/encouragement gratefully recieved.

 

Still ongoing…..

Positive, positive, positive…….. Still onging ….
That’s the way I am thinking. Onwards and upwards.
Thought for the day: “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a person perfected without trials.” Chinese proverb.
I am re-reading the book to check my methods so far.
I have my vision board and cheque from the bank of the universe on my wall. I also have a book full of ideas and inspiration (including my goals and aspirations) which I look at fairly often. Although maybe I need to look at it more.
Hmm…… from now on I will carry the book with me always to look at.
I must also set aside more time for visualisation techniques…….
I am STILL full of flu by the way – which I am sure is getting in the way.
As usual, any thoughts or words of encouragement will be gratefully recieved.

 

well….. progress pretty slow to be honest

I have been reading my book full of thoughts and inspiration and I have been looking at my vision board and visualizing my thoughts becoming reality. Progress has been slow though.
I must admit – my progress has I feel been hindered by my current bout of flu, with which I have been suffering for two weeks now. It’s very difficult to visualise and be thankful when you feel so dizzy and sick most of the time that you have to lie down.
Still, I am trying to remain as focussed as possible. The book says to picture yourself as “the picture of health” and you will become that way. This really hasn’t worked so far for me, but I will keep going. Can’t afford to fall at the first hurdle.
Any encouragement will be gratefully received.

Well, here goes with this new idea.

 

Here goes….

Well, here goes with this new idea. I have recently been given a copy of The Secret by a friend who had nothing but recommendations for it so I have decided to try it out.
I have come up with a vision board showing my goals and what I want to achieve, and I plan to monitor my progress on here.
It is very simple as far as philosophy goes – the key idea seems to be “thoughts become things”. In order to get what you want to have to act as though and believe you have already recieved what you want. That way you will attract to you the things you need. Because you will be on the correct wavelength in order to recieve them.
It seems simple but could be effective. I will share my thoughts and feelings and experiences here and will be able to let you know of my successes.
Any encouragement will be gratefully received…..
