Do you believe these statements?

• “It will happen when it is supposed to”
• “It wasn’t supposed to happen right now”

Let me tell you what I think about those statements … They are BS BS – Bull Shit Belief Systems! They are totally dis-empowering statements!  

Where did we come up with these? People say them when something they wanted didn’t go they way they wanted it to.

We use those statements to soothe ourselves … but is it really soothing?! I’ve just claimed … that … I … I … really don’t have the power in my life! I just claimed that my life is like a leaf being tossed around by the wind! Does that really soothe you?!

Let me tell you when it is going to happen … it is going to happen when you line up with it! When you allow it into your experience! When you stop whatever BS belief system you have running around in your head! That is when it is going to happen!

And… many times if you had just hung on to your dream of it …. instead of rushing in with that judgment of “it wasn’t supposed to happen” … If you had just stayed with your dream …. instead of letting circumstances dictate your judgement! Who said it wasn’t in the process of happening? At what point is the “right” time to consider it gone?

The minute you utter either one of those statements …. you make a huge statement to the universe. You have given up on your dream … you have turned away from it! You are blowing in the wind … allowing the wind to take you where it wants … And know this … the wind will take you! Where? Wherever those BS Belief Systems point you!

Am I being too Harsh?

Harsh? … I am handing you back your power! I know you have the power to Have, Be or Do whatever you choose … And I know it takes self awareness to get you there. It takes self responsibility to get you there.

Now you are on the right track …  Now you are stopping the BS! Look at the situation as an opportunity …. Not because that is the gallant or so-called right way to be …  because – it is an opportunity! Now you know that you have some more self awareness to do in this area. That is good information to know!

That is not defeat … that is success!

If you succumb to those statements … you are feeding those BS Belief Systems. Those limiting old stories that have been holding you back. You are giving your power away.

Take a stand … Take a stand for You! You are a totally power-filled, magnificent creator … filled with dreams and desires that you absolutely deserve to live!

I’m not being Harsh …. I am honoring You!

Don’t you think it is time to bust out of the BS?

PROCRASTINATION

Gone… Finished… Done… Kaput…

Erased… Deleted… Canceled… Obliterated…

Trashed… Destroyed…

Removed…

Does Not Exist…

Did I just hear a sigh of relief from you? ….

So why are you still here? It’s gone, finished …. You can relax – enjoy your day – enjoy your life….

Ohhh I get it … I know why you are still here… You are waiting for me to tell you how to obliterate procrastination! But I don’t have to tell you how …. because It Is Gone!

Still here?

I understand … Your not too sure that this procrastination stuff could really be gone forever… After all it has always felt so heavy … so big … How could it just be gone?

Let’s look at – What is Procrastination?

The dictionary says “to delay” / “to defer action” / “to put off till another day or time”

That doesn’t sound so big and heavy ….

Ohhh – you say it is big and heavy …. “because you don’t do things that you should be doing… when you should be doing them.”

Why would we put things off?

• Busy right now … don’t have the time

• If you are busy doing other things – are you really procrastinating?

• Not too sure how to do this task at hand

• If you are unsure about how to accomplish a task – is that procrastination or uncertainty?

• I don’t like doing this task – so I wait until it absolutely needs to be done

• If you don’t like doing something – is that procrastination or preference?

• I’m uncomfortable/uneasy with this task…

• Again … is this procrastination or preference?

If you are uncomfortable, unsure or you downright don’t like the task at hand…. why not call it what it is – instead of calling it procrastination?!

Ohhh I know why … and I know how the idea of procrastination started… At some point in your life someone wanted you to do something… Something you were uncomfortable with or unsure of or you just didn’t want to do … And they told you – you should be doing it … and when you didn’t do it – they called it procrastination!

Instead of finding out what was going on with you … instead of making peace with the situation … you now had a new label – a new heavy – Procrastinator!  

Here is what I say “Stop shoulding on yourself!” If there is a task you absolutely dislike … instead of labeling you — take the time to find out why!

I hate to file papers! OK – why? I’m not too sure where they need to be filed, I then start to feel overwhelmed … instead of just looking at this pile of papers … I look around my entire office … then I think – It all needs to be more organized …. I’m so unorganized …. this will take way too long to pull together …. I’m not good at this …. I’m lazy …. yada – yada – yada

Well no wonder you don’t like this task …. You went on an “old story” rant with it and beat yourself up! Those insults that you just threw all over yourself … they are a re-action – a regurgitation of old programming that you have installed in your mind!

When those old stories start … you need to stop them! Ask yourself this question – “How can I feel different about this?” or “How can I experience this differently?” or “How can I see this situation differently?”

Then let it go… Some of you will get the answer right away. For others your answer will come in a feeling … or you will notice – Gee I just filed those papers today and didn’t even think twice about it.

You are not a procrastinator … or unorganized … or lazy!
You just have a bunch of “old stories” running in your head!

Dump the Labels – Ask the Questions
Shift the Stories 

**************************************

2013 Will It Be Different?

I’ll answer that question if you answer this one first…

Are you going to BE different in 2013? If your answer is Yes … then my answer is Yes!

How do I BE different?

Well you have to “DO” something. I know… not everyone likes that word! And truth is I agree …. most of the time!    Many have been taught Do – Have – Be. It goes like this: If you Do   this job    then you’ll Have   money   then you will Be   happy  

I’ve been there – done that … didn’t work for me …. Has it worked for you?

I’m not telling you to Do something to BE … But if you are truly ready to Be Happy .. to Be the person you dream of …. you have to be aware of your doing! Because … You are automatically doing when you don’t even realize it!

Auto-Pilot

You go through most of your day on auto-pilot … you react to life from the old stories you have stored in your subconscious. I’m not even going to try to prove that one anymore as scientists are finally saying this is true! Go watch the movie People v the State of Illusion and the movie The Cure Is … So you are automatically “doing” when you let those old stories dominate your day.

You’ve got to Tell the New Story before you live the new story! You have to Be the new story… That happens when you raise your awareness, become aware of how you feel and deliberately talk more about what you want.

This is not rocket science nor is it difficult … BUT it can feel difficult until you create that new habit!

If you just sit around this new year dreaming of the life you want to live…. You might – you just might be able to saturate yourself enough in the dream …. but this is the longer road. I’ve tried it this way also ….

If you have made the decision to BE who you know you really are… Then you are ready to DO … but you don’t really know what to do … because your old stories are not providing that answer!

Go right now and get this Free ebook – Out with the Old … In with the New. It will explain all of this and give you some exercises that will help you create the new story that you want to live! AND … come join us in the facebook group – http://www.facebook.com/groups/thenewstory/   I’ll be in there through the month of January answering questions and guiding you with your new story. 

I’m going to be telling some awesome new stories in 2013!!
How about you?!

What if the flow is thrashing you about…
Do you really want to go with it?!

“Let go” …. “Go with the flow” … I get it – don’t resist what is going on. If I am resisting … I am giving it my attention … If I’m giving it my attention … then I am actually calling it to me!

I’m pretty good with going with the flow… even when it isn’t going where I want it to.

• This isn’t a big deal….
• Things always work out for me…
• Even if I’m not seeing it right now … I know there is an opportunity here for me…
• What can I appreciate right now?
• How can I experience this differently?

These are all great statements, questions that help me readjust within the flow.

But…

Last week we were in San Francisco … While we had a fantastic time there were a few very interesting scenarios we had to deal with! And I was going with the flow ….

And then the day we were leaving our flight got delayed because of fog and we were informed we were going to miss our connecting flight back to NY. OK … I’m flowing    Then they tell us there are no more connecting flights back to Albany NY!  The best they could do was get us into Philadelphia at 10:30pm and the connecting flight was at 7:35am. OK … I’m struggling a bit with this flow! 

We got on the flight to Philly. On the flight they had online wifi! See things are getting better! We hook in – it was $6 for 1 hour … this is so cool to be able to get on the internet while flying about!

First I searched for a flight leaving Philly to Albany … but that wasn’t going to happen. So I did the next best thing I looked and booked a hotel that was close by and had free airport shuttle 24/7! Yes … flowing a bit better.

When we got back to the airport in the morning … our flight to Albany was delayed. No I am not kidding!! But luckily it was only for about 35 minutes. This flow keeps bumping about.

Commander of the Flow…

As the plane took off and we were on our way home I started thinking about all this “going with the flow” … and then I thought “I don’t want to go with the flow – I want to be the Commander of the flow!” …. And immediately I got back this info: “You are the Commander of the flow …. so tell it where to go“

I got truthbumps (goosebumps)! It’s true isn’t it … We are indeed the commander of the flow. Our vibration commands the flow we attract to us. For me I realized while I was using the above tools … I was getting a bit exasperated – I was really feeling like the flow was taking me where ever it wanted to!

How often do we say we are going with the flow and then feel like a victim in that flow?!

Feeling like a victim is going to keep me in victim-flow! This was a great experience for me (see I knew there were opportunities in there somewhere)  …. I was able to up my awareness level.

Going with the flow is not about giving up… it is not about getting bashed about … it is not about being a victim! It is about using those tools above and being aware that you are indeed the Commander of Your Flow … So Tell it Where to Go!  

I’m always excited to hear your thoughts, comments, questions …. So please join the conversation below!

**************************************

Today is Thanksgiving here in the States. A day that many families come together and give thanks for all the blessings in their lives. I think it is a great tradition … gather together – have a delicious meal together … and enjoy each others and the blessings in your lives.

I know there is some controversial ‘history’ about Thanksgiving … I personally don’t go there. I know some will say I am shallow … I say I’m staying in the NOW! Remember I’m the person who teaches to get out of your old stories that do not serve or honor you! So … I am certainly not going to get involved in the old stories of years past. Hopefully those old stories have served us … as the human race is a bit more refined now! 

I’m also the person who teaches … If you want a life that you appreciate … focus on the things you appreciate … and the Universe will continually supply you with more to appreciate! That is the Law of Attraction at work!

I belong to an appreciation group on facebook. As I was writing my appreciation yesterday in this group and talking about Thanksgiving … I started thinking … we should also have an Appreciation Giving Day!   I write out 3-5 things I appreciate every day … and many times those things are about other people….  but I don’t always tell those people … I just tell the Universe.

How do we let others know we appreciate them?  Well we can outright tell them so! That is easy with your family and close friends… But what about the person who just held the door for you? Many of us say “thank you” in a robotic way … Do you look straight into their eyes when you say “thank you”?

I’ve seen with my own eyes what a difference when you can catch that person’s eye and say “Thank You” with a big smile on your face. I have actually seen people’s expression first look a bit confused …. we are all used to those robotic thank you’s … and then see a big smile take over their face. Makes my day to see this – truth is I’m the one that ends up with even more appreciation! 

So instead of just an Appreciation Giving day here and there… I am going to purposely be more aware of how I can let someone know I appreciate them. This is a Win/Win … They feel good … and I feel even gooder! 

So ….What are some good ways you let people know you appreciate them? Please share …

“Abra Cadabra…
Manifest Now!”

Wouldn’t you love it? To say those magical words and …. Poof – there is that thing you wanted!

So… How come it doesn’t work like that?

Well … actually it can and does …. And you don’t even need to say the magical words to have it happen… But…. You do have to do a magic act .

Magic? I don’t know how to do magic…

Sure you do … and it comes so easy to you – you aren’t even aware that you do it! What about the time you were thinking about a person … maybe you were thinking I haven’t spoken to so-n-so in awhile – I wonder how they are? And then Poof – the phone rings and it is that person on the phone. Magic!

I just had this happen twice last week with 2 different people. It happens often and we call it a coincidence and we don’t think much about it.

OK … so it’s not really magic but it is indeed instant manifestation. I talk about this in a recent post – the frog on the lilly pad … and in the comments area I told the story about a swan.

“I had no ties to this manifestation. It was not important to me …. I was not worried about not seeing a frog on a lilly pad …. I didn’t have any old stories attached to seeing a frog on a lilly pad – Nothing in my belief system said it was not possible for me to see this frog. I didn’t have any fear or doubt or worry attached to this outcome. It was kinda like – Wouldn’t it be nice to see a frog on a lilly pad …. And then I let it go … “

There is the Magic

I wasn’t attached to the outcome … No fear or worry attached to it … I didn’t have any “old stories” in my beliefs that said I could or couldn’t see that frog — I also didn’t have any “old stories” attached to the outcome of the people I was thinking about…..  and Poof – Instant Manifestation!

The Magic is not have any attachment to the outcome and just letting it all go. Having a desire – feeling the joy of that desire and not getting caught up in the ‘I have to have this’ – ‘if this doesn’t happen I will be devastated’ – ‘I’m worried that this might not happen’… Or the most blatant killer of magic …. ‘This could never happen for me’.

Easier Said Than Done

I agree … it sure feels easy to say “let it go” than if feels to do it! Some will even tell you your brain is wired to not let it go. Well that isn’t 100% true. Children let it go all the time … they daydream – they talk about big ideas – grand adventures – and you see the pleasure they derive from it in their eyes! …And sure enough there is those adults starting to tell them — to settle – to find something that will make them money… Many adults will eventually tell these kids to not dream so big!

You were wired to Dream BIG! And you have been taught, actually programmed away from doing that! Those are the “old stories” I talk so much about! No – I’m not beating up on the adults … they too, have been programmed away from their natural state of dreaming big!

How does this all work:

The Universe is set up to bring to you what your vibration is calling for. That is the Law of Attraction at work. Your brain is set up to keep you within your belief systems. If you have a desire to be wildly successful in your career … but you have a belief (an old story) that tells you that will never happen for you. You have a conflict going on!

You need to get your vibration and your brain on the same path!

Let me show you how powerful your vibration and your brain working together is. Watch this short video and follow along with me:

Did you go beyond the first spot? I’m going to say you did … (let me know in the comments). Why is that? Didn’t you go as far as you could the first time?

Here is what happened:

• You set out an intention… which created a vibration….
• You visualized that intention happening… which told your brain what you wanted
• And in less than 3 minutes it manifested!

You didn’t have any “old stories” that told you – you couldn’t do this. So this intention was not in conflict with your beliefs. Your vibration (Law of Attraction) and your brain were on the same path … and you quickly and easily manifested what you wanted!

You ought to be doing the Happy Dance right now… realizing how powerful you are … how easily you can indeed create what you want!

The Magic:

The magic happens when your vibration and beliefs are on the same path. If you aren’t seeing what you want manifest in your life … You need to start checking your beliefs. Start telling new stories about your life! In the video I asked you to see what you wanted … know it … feel it. Bring those qualities to the desires you want to manifest.

Talk more about what works then what doesn’t work…. The more you make a big deal about what works in your life … the more you shift those old stories … you rewire your brain to believe that things always work out for you!

Use your magic – Abra Cadabra!

Let me know if you did this exercise and any questions or comments you have in the comment section below!

If you haven’t read Part 1 yet with the question in its entirety …. you can read it here: http://livingthelawofattraction.com/loa-blog/question-and-answer-time/

Let’s get back to the third paragraph of our question:

“I know I am capable of some of the greatest things the world has ever seen, I just don’t know what they are yet. What I have been searching for is guidance to become more disciplined and focused on the things I want. With me it is so easy to get sidetracked from what I want by the thought of how to get there…I know I’m supposed to disregard the how and when, and just know that it’s going to happen, but I still get stuck at that part every time. It’s almost as if only the majority of me really wants to be successful, and the other part could really care less. I want to rid myself of that negative, lazy, skeptical personality trait completely.”

Tj makes an excellent point that I am sure we have all lived …. “How do I get there?” In essence, he/she is asking – “How do I get there if I’m not supposed to figure out how to do it?”

This is one of those areas that many people learning the law of attraction get confused with. So let’s clear it up – No one is saying not to make a plan … no one is telling you not to envision how this is going to happen. (OK maybe some have told you these exact things … well they are wrong!) Visualizing, planning and making intentions is good … it is creative …. as long as it Feels Good!!

Does it Feel Good?

That is the sticking point! If you are trying to figure out how to get what you want with worry and anxiety … Well you are going down the wrong road!

Being specific is great … IF it Feels Good! But many go down the “figure it out road” with angst … that is absolutely not going to get you what you want. Why? Because your vibration is all about worry…which brings more things to worry about!

Tj talks about how easy it is to get sidetracked … and that is because of those habitual reactions we have. This is why it is imperative to start changing those habits of thought – those old stories that run around in your head!

If you have some old beliefs that tell you – you really aren’t able to get to your greatness… If you have old stories that tell you – you are lazy and negative …. Well look what is running your show!

Your so-called laziness, negativity, procrastination … is nothing more than that old programming that you have been living. Your brain is doing its job … it is bringing you to the belief that is anchored within your subconscious.

Well that sounds scary … cause it sounds permanent. How can I create the life I desire if I am anchored in this old story?

Pull Up the Anchor!

You pull up the anchor and sail … by first being aware that you have not been doing anything wrong. Acknowledge that you have these old beliefs … ( we all do) and now you are going to create new beliefs that you can anchor. Yes your brain will then bring you to that new destination!

Your inner voice / inner being knows, without a doubt, your greatness. Your brain … knows the programmed stories within you. So yes … at times it feels like there are two of you. Which feels better to believe? – The part that says you are great and you are here to accomplish great things … or the part that says you really can’t do that ….

I already know the answer…. So follow that feel good greatness and write new stories that says you can indeed do that.

TIP: I put out an ebook early this year that gives you steps to re-write those old stories. The link for that free ebook is in this article: http://livingthelawofattraction.com/loa-blog/tell-a-new-story-for-2012/

You, every person reading this, are a Magnificent Being. Your inner wisdom knows this … which is why you feel yourself being called to your greatness! The saying “If you can dream it – you can achieve it” is indeed the truth!

There is nothing wrong with you – you are not broken! You just have been trained away from your inner wisdom. Stop beating yourself up … stop trying to push yourself into greatness… instead create the stories that will easily line you up with it.

What do think? Let me know your thoughts, comments, questions….

**************************************

Let’s look at a question I recently received … I picked this question to share because it contains several questions within it … and hits upon many of the same thoughts I receive from readers.

“I have always been able to call upon things as I imagine them into existence…at least for small things (i.e. hearing a song when I want to hear it, running into a person I wanted to see that day, having someone bring up one of my pre-conceived thoughts for that particular day, etc.) But as far as Long-term goals, I feel as if I lack in areas.

I believe I need to better learn the visualization factor. I can truly see myself doing and/or achieving the things I want at certain times…I just have a really hard time getting in the mood to visualize them every day. You could say it’s a lack of discipline.

I know I am capable of some of the greatest things the world has ever seen, I just don’t know what they are yet. What I have been searching for is guidance to become more disciplined and focused on the things I want. With me it is so easy to get sidetracked from what I want by the thought of how to get there…I know I’m supposed to disregard the how and when, and just know that it’s going to happen, but I still get stuck at that part every time. It’s almost as if only the majority of me really wants to be successful, and the other part could really care less. I want to rid myself of that negative, lazy, skeptical personality trait completely.

I’m not asking anyone to have the answers for me. Alas, if there is any prudent advice out there that I may attain from someone, I would be most grateful to hear any comments or suggestions.”
Thank you for your time,
Tj

This question came in a few days ago… I didn’t answer it right away … because I was vacationing in Puerto Rico and the internet connection had been a bit slow…. Well OK – the connection was slow but also the temps were warm, the sun was shining and I was on the beach!  

But … even with that wonderful weather this question had been calling me since I read it. The reason it calls me is … I believe it sums up many questions I receive …. Many people “get it” – they see the connection of being able to call to themselves certain situations. Mostly they can look back and see there were many times they wanted to hear a song … and poof it is on the radio – or they were just talking about a certain type of car … and whoosh it passes by.

We used to call that “coincidence” but … once you have learned about the Law of Attraction, Universal laws, you realize what these so-called coincidences really are.

Let’s take this question bit by bit … as it holds so many questions and answers within it …

In the first paragraph Tj is aware that those so-called coincidences are really his vibration and the Law of Attraction at work. And in this paragraph he is also aware these coincidences are “not working” for his Long Term Goals….

This is the piece many don’t understand “how we work” …

One time Carol and  I were kayaking on a lake .. we were in an area covered with lilly pads – I said to Carol “Gee I’ve seen frogs on lilly pads on the tv and pictures… but I’ve never personally seen a frog sitting on a lilly pad .. and then we both turned our heads and poof there was a frog sitting pretty on  a lilly pad!

That was truly instant manifestation! Why did it happen so effortlessly and quickly?

Here is where the “how we work” comes in …

I had no ties to this manifestation. It was not important to me …. I was not worried about not seeing a frog on a lilly pad …. I didn’t have any old stories attached to seeing a frog on a lilly pad – Nothing in my belief system said it was not possible for me to see this frog. I didn’t have any fear or doubt or worry attached to this outcome. It was kinda like – Wouldn’t it be nice to see a frog on a lilly pad …. And then I let it go ….

I let it go … because it did not rate vitally important in my brain … and I had no old stories attached to it. When we can look at all of our life situations like that … they will indeed manifest quickly!

But we humans have a tendency …no actually it is a programming of what is and isn’t vitally important. We rate seeing the frog as not important … but making a million dollars or finding our mate as very important. And within that “importance” we have belief systems (what I call old stories) running around that attach worry, fear and doubt on the outcome.

In the second paragraph Tj says: “I believe I need to better learn the visualization factor. I can truly see myself doing and/or achieving the things I want at certain times…I just have a really hard time getting in the mood to visualize them every day. You could say it’s a lack of discipline.”

He is absolutely onto something here …. Though I would not say “lack of discipline” because, for me, those words are too strong..  This discipline he thinks we lack is actually a habit …. We have those “old stories” of fear, worry, doubt and self esteem attached to the things we deem important … And we don’t even realize it. In essence we have attached beliefs, of what can and cannot happen for us, to situations that show up in our lives.

This lack of discipline is indeed a consistency problem.  It isn’t that we aren’t consistent … it is that we are consistently reliving those old stories – old habits of reaction to life. We go through much of our day on auto-pilot – a situation happens – in microseconds our brain scans for a reaction … and we habitually repeat this reaction.

It is a reaction – an action that we do over and over again.

We don’t change those reactions until we become aware that we do indeed have old stories that are running in the background. It’s like background music you aren’t paying much attention … but you are probably humming in your head. We don’t necessarily need to know the old stories .. we just need to pay attention to how we feel and create new stories that feel good! We need to consistently have more awareness in our daily lives … so we can act on the now instead of reacting from the past.

In the third paragraph… my heart sings when Tj acknowledges “I am capable of some of the greatest things the world has ever seen” Indeed you are! We all are … and that thought/feeling comes straight from your inner voice … your inner wisdom! Well actually what your inner being says is “You are the greatest thing the world has ever seen!” – Our programmed brain added in the words that make it sound like it has not yet already happened!

When you can connect with your inner wisdom and make the proclamation that you are already the greatest … you will then be able to show that greatness to the world!

Tip: If you aren’t yet totally comfortable with proclaiming your greatness … use the 3 magic words ‘in the process’ – “I am the greatest the world has ever seen and I am in the process of letting it out into the world”

There is much more in this question … but I will end here for now….and will do a Part 2 in a few days.

Please share if you identify with Tj and his questions … and your comments, questions about this.

Part 2 is now posted: http://livingthelawofattraction.com/loa-blog/question-and-answer-time-part-2/

Tell A New Story…. Change Your Life

Sounds simple doesn’t it?
I’ll just “talk” new stories and my life will change… Well it is that simple… but… we aren’t usually aware of the “old stories” that are running around in our heads …  If they are in your head – you are “telling” them!

We have 50,000-70,000 thoughts running through our heads on a daily basis – Phew….    The majority of those thoughts are self-limiting and repetitive (which means we are telling that story over and over and over!)

Where do those self-limiting, repetitive thoughts come from?
Most of them come from our childhood… We stored these thoughts as beliefs …. These were the things people told us we couldn’t do … things we weren’t good at …. things that were impossible to do … etc… etc…

Every thought carries a vibration …. Yup – even those repetitive, limiting thoughts that we are not quite aware of ….

Law of attraction responds to our vibrations… It’s definition is “match vibrations”

So what are we calling to ourselves that we aren’t even aware of?

What are “Old Stories”
“Old Stories” … are nothing more than beliefs … Some people call them “core” beliefs … That sounds a bit scary as it sounds like we are hard-wired and can’t change those.

Let’s get rid of some misconceptions…

#1 - You can’t change your core beliefs.

You can indeed change those stories …. we are not hard-wired to them forever… Even science now agrees with this – they call it neuroplasticity.

All a belief is … is a thought that has been thought over and over again. The more we think it (hear it, live it) we anchor it …. It becomes a part of our belief system.

The more you anchor (hear it, say it, think it, been told it) the bigger the anchor … Those are the ones people refer to as “core” beliefs.

Don’t get me wrong … some of those beliefs you anchored are uplifting and benefit you. And yes those are also part of the 50-70 thousands thoughts that go through your head every day.

But … lots of them aren’t uplifting ….

#2 – I will just make myself focus on the uplifting ones!

I absolutely agree with that statement…. But … Most people don’t understand how our brains work! Our subconscious brain (where all those “old stories” are stored) controls most of our day. That is why we aren’t 100% aware of the thoughts that are rolling around.

Don’t believe me?
When you learned how to drive a car – you had to pay attention… lots of attention! Get in the car – put the key in – check that the seat is at the right angle for you … check your mirrors – turn the key – check your gauges, gas, battery, engine temp … etc…. Now going to pull out – check the oncoming traffic – put the car in drive – put your signal on … look ahead, check the oncoming traffic again …. put your foot on the gas … easy … check the traffic … look where you are going … the traffic and where you are going.. OK you are now on the road.

Do you do all of that now when you drive? Well you probably do, I hope!    But you don’t think about it do you? You are programmed …. driving has become a part of your subconscious … and you go on auto-pilot and off you go!

• What other kind of programming do you have in your subconscious?

• Are you reacting to situations in your life from auto-pilot?

• And …. Are those re-actions based on limiting “old stories”?

If you aren’t 100% living the life that you’ve always wanted … the answer is Yes. You have “old stories” that are limiting you!

So – how is it possible to change these stories?
I thought you’d never ask!     Trying to will away your old stories – doesn’t usually work. First off – because what you resist will persist (that’s LOA at work!) …. So if you are aware of an old limiting belief and you are determined to get rid of it … that determination will actually hold it to you!

And… Secondly … Many times we aren’t even aware of the old stories that are running around … If we aren’t aware of them – how could we will it away?

There is an easy way….
Every year at this time … I give away a free ebook “Out With the Old ~ In With the New”. The information and process in that book was originally written for my private clients to guide them on to “new stories” that uplift them, honor them and keep them on the pathway to creating the life they desire. And… it Works!

I will gladly give that book to you again this year…. And…. Take it a step further!

Earlier this month I gave that ebook to people at my new website – Create Your Life Academy … We also had a webinar talking about it. I then received several emails asking me why don’t I create a class, workshop for working with this process.

Great idea! I could just set it up at the membership site …. I could certainly charge for it … as it will take a considerable amount of my time….  Then I realized – setting it up at the membership site was not going to be as easy as I would like … as the site is currently undergoing some under-the-hood changes … I was going to put this idea on the shelf….

But – today I thought about it again … I could do this as a private group on facebook! And… Since today is my birthday and I am receiving lots of love and wonder-filled wishes … I thought – Put it on facebook and make it Free!

So that is what I am going to do!
I’ve created a closed facebook group “Tell A New Story for 2012″ – I will be in there for the month of January guiding you through that ebook and way beyond!

I’m not going to write a whole big sales page of what the benefits are for you …. this is getting long enough… If you know me – you know there will be many benefits! If you don’t know me … well you can join us and see for yourself!

I will say one thing: This is not a get-fixed-quick-scheme! The information and processes I will bring to you at the group will absolutely change your life ….. IF ….. you are willing to take the time to do them and take the time to bring your questions and comments to the group!

If you just want the ebook you can get it here: “Out with the Old – In with the New”

If you are ready to go on a journey for the month of January …. and start your New Year with the stories/beliefs that support you and honor you – then join me at the group “Tell A New Story for 2012″ here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/270851036305728/

You need to be signed into facebook … and when you get to the page on the top right click the button – Ask to Join Group. It is a closed group – I will respond and let you in … the group is closed so you can feel free to talk and ask questions and only the members will see it.

We officially start on January 1st, 2012 — but come in before – download the ebook – and introduce yourself. I am really very excited about this!  I know this is life-changing and I love to hear people tell me all their great results …. so this is a great birthday present to me!

Q) “If a person is not experiencing wealth and they believe they may have limiting beliefs towards money but do not know what those beliefs are, how do they, uncover those beliefs so that they can be cleared?

I see so many “experts” offering a million different ways to “get clear” but nobody talks about finding out what our limiting beliefs are.”

This is a great question posted over at my facebook page and while I started to answer it there… I knew this is a “topic” that many think about … and it is worth going into some depth about…

A) Lets look at the foundation of the question — ‘I believe I have limiting beliefs’ and ‘I believe I don’t know what these are … and … I need to know what they are in order to clear them’

The belief/vibration of the above — is actually what is limiting me!!

How could that be? I want to have wealth … and I am not experiencing it! So…. apparently I have a “limiting belief” that is holding me away from what I want!

Yes … that is true … If I am not experiencing what I want …. I have some beliefs/thoughts that are creating the vibration that is holding it away from me… Or better said – I am experiencing the outcome of the vibration I am putting out to the Universe.

We absolutely have beliefs that limit us … You will hear me refer to them as “old stories” … Usually we have picked these up when we were young … from parents, teachers, peers … the people around us. We “believe them” hence we live them hence we anchor them … on and on.

So… wouldn’t it be easy if I could just pinpoint the belief and then change it?!

There is probably not one specific belief … and it has morphed through the years … it becomes integrated with other beliefs … so trying to find that specific or even group of beliefs … really isn’t very productive … And that search will keep us in that unwanted limiting vibration!

“I attract to myself whatever I give my attention, energy or focus to”

• If my focus is on – “I don’t have wealth” — What am I attracting?

• If my focus in on - “I have limiting beliefs” — What am I attracting?

• If my focus in on – “I have limiting beliefs that I want to clear …. because I need to clear them in order to live the life I desire … but I don’t know what those limiting beliefs are…. “ — What am I attracting?

The quick and easy answer is ….

Stop putting your attention on what is not working in your life! Hmmm …. I hear many of you mumble … “Been there – done that … and that ain’t working either!”

Now I could spout what many LOA teachers would … which is — “And what is that vibration?”  And then we could go off on that merry-go-round. Sound familiar?

And while that truly is a Law of Attraction answer….

There can be merry-go-round here… a Catch 22 … It is essential to understand how the Law of Attraction works…. And – it is equally essential to understand How You Work – How Your Brain Works! — that is what I teach.

Clearing…

When you understand that you do indeed have these beliefs (old stories) that were programmed from when you were young….  Do you need to clear these beliefs?

Sometimes you do know a belief … I was raised with a belief that people with money were not nice people. Obviously a belief like that is certainly not helpful towards having abundance! 

How did I discover that belief? Well actually that was my interpretation…. nobody ever outright told me people with money weren’t nice …. In my immediate family we didn’t have much money …. In essence the vibration about money was … it was a struggle … And there were some, not so nice, remarks said about people who had money.

As I have been on this self-discovery path … I did take time to look at my vibrations (beliefs) around varying topics.. Money was a big one for me… And this belief showed itself rather quickly … It just made sense when I looked at my childhood… and at my adulthood on how well I was living this belief! Why would I bring money to me if it was only for not nice people?!

I absolutely advocate taking the time to discover your vibration around the topics of your life. I teach this because it is about raising your awareness of what vibrations you are sending out to the Universe…. It is about your awareness of you!

It’s a simple process — and can be done with any topic in your life.

For this example we are using money … but you can substitute relationships, career, health … etc

• What am I experiencing regarding money?
  • Well we know there is a feeling of lack of money
• How was I brought up around this topic?
  • For me – there was lack of money in my house
• What are my beliefs about money?
  • People who have money are not nice
  • Money is hard to come by
  • There is not enough to go around
  • You have to work very hard to get by
  • Money goes to money
  • etc… etc…

This simple exercise gives you an awareness of what you are putting out to the Universe and of the “old stories” that are stored within your beliefs.

OK – Got it — Now I can clear these – right?!

Maybe this is semantics … but I don’t teach clearing. You really can’t clear anything – the thought/belief is part of your experience … and while you may believe you would benefit from amnesia …     you would lose an integral part of you!

Look at those thoughts … decide if they still benefit you (I say still … as at one time they did benefit you – even if that benefit was that you fit in within your family) – If the answer is “no benefit today” — Make peace with it - knowing that at one time it did serve you….. Now you can start telling a new story!

New Story…

The original LOA answer of “Stop putting your attention on what you don’t want” still applies. But without first addressing and making peace with the “old story habits” that run through our brains on a daily basis …. you are fighting against a thought/belief … instead of creating new thoughts/beliefs!

It’s time to take your attention away from what is not happening in your life… and – place your attention on what is happening!

Start a Happy Happenings Journal ….

Everyday you have abundance in your life… start recording it! Write down things you appreciate …. A cup of coffee – a butterfly – the sunset – a friend in your life …

Record the abundance… if you have a job – every payday you need to journal … “I got money today”. Did you win $2 with a scratchy lottery ticket? Write it down … Did someone buy you a cup of coffee today? It’s abundance – write it down. Found a nickel on the street? Abundance – write it down! Did you save .75 cents with a coupon? That is abundance – write it down!

I know … your brain will start to tell you “.75 is not what I was looking for!” — But… now you know these are “old stories” – Now you can dismiss them … Tell them … you aren’t listening anymore because your attention, focus and energy is on the abundance and wonder of your life! You are creating new stories … new habits of thought!

I also know your brain will tell you this process is much too easy…. That is an “old story” too …

You can be a deliberate creator … or go through life allowing the “old stories” to dictate how you live … It is totally up to you! 

So… Your work is to get to know you … We usually know much more about other people in our lives than we do about ourselves…

I’m not saying to analyze you — we have done that much too often! Take time to pay attention to how you are feeling – honor and make peace with it! “I do feel like this … today I am aware this is an “old story” some old programming – I don’t have to follow this … instead I can put my attention on the abundance in my life right now!”

When you deliberately acknowledge the “old story” and deliberately choose not to follow it …. You create new habits of thought – “new stories” -

Searching for what is wrong with you … what is wrong in your life … Is a vibration that keeps you in the “what is wrong” arena!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you! You are a blessed, magnificent creator … and you have been powerfully creating your life according to your beliefs! Those beliefs aren’t “wrong” — they just might not serve you anymore … And… at anytime, powerful creator, — you can shift those beliefs, which will shift the direction of your life, by deliberately choosing where you will put your attention, energy and focus!

Revel in your power .. and have fun with this!
