Working on my feelings

Yesterday ended up being a great day, just as I had imagined. I’m grateful!

I have been listening to a new book on CD, called “Money, and the Law of Attraction”, by Esther Hicks (Abraham-Hicks). I had been awaiting its release, so when it came out on Tuesday, I immediately went out and bought it. Since then I’ve been listening to it here and there, but finally got a chance to listen to much more of it on my three hour round-trip to see my uncle yesterday.

As a suggestion from the book, I decided that I would spend 15 minutes each evening focusing on the things that I’m working on bringing into my life. I thought I’d spend 5 minutes on each; money, health/weight loss, and a relationship (yeah, I know, I wasn’t planning on this one, but what happened on Friday night…). Anyway, it’s not enough to just think about what I want, I also need to FEEL as though those things are abundant and on their way to me. The change in feeling about those things is the important factor. So I tried. I’ve done this before and it’s not that hard actually. It’s more the consistency of doing it that makes me usually give up. Last night’s attempt started off ok, but then I wasn’t so sure I was staying on track. On the surprising side, I ended up spending about a half hour doing this. However, I didn’t feel as though the intensity of what I was feeling was lasting. I felt as though I was drifting back into feelings of lack.

But I attempted, and that was the point.

This morning I woke up with the memory of having dreamt that I got promoted at work. My first reaction to this was that there isn’t really any way for me to be promoted at work, since I am the only one that does my job! I mean, there’s no other office job where I work to do!

Then, I remembered what came to me yesterday… I am stopping some of my expectations of wealth by wondering where it would actually come from. When I was younger, and working my way up in the company I worked for, I always imagined good raises, promotions, and even profit-sharing checks. And they always came to me. But where I am at this point of my life, I’m more on my own. I really prefer it this way now, but I realized that because I don’t know where my big money will come from, I tend not to imagine or expect it as much, thus hindering my manifestation of it.

So, I’m going to keep at it... spending my 15 minutes (at least) imagining and expecting and FEELING that these things will show up in my life soon. To be continued…

All is well. And it’s looking like another fantastic day!!
