Great Advice For A Wonderful Start To Your New Year!

Once in a while I check on Maria the Muse's Blog. She has great advice for day to day situations.She is also very big on the Law of Attraction. She sent out an amazing list of how to start of your New Year and I wanted to share it with you...

PAVING THE WAY FOR AN AMAZING NEW YEAR

1. Set time aside - I take the day after Christmas off for this purpose. For you it may be another day. It's important to give yourself plenty of time because in my experience your inner being doesn't work on a world clock so trying to fit it in between 6:00 and 6:30 pm just doesn't work too well.
2. Make a list of the major things that are important to you - These are very personal and will be different for everyone. At times in the past I've included things like: get my body into a certain size and level of health, move to a new home, go on vacation to a specific place, improve or change a certain relationship, change jobs or careers, etc. You can also include how you want to experience something you know is on its way. For instance, when a friend was getting married she listed that everything about the wedding fell into place easily and effortlessly, that the details took care of themselves, and that she had a very relaxing and enjoyable day. Got the idea? I typically keep the list short, no more than 5 things, because this is about the BIG picture which isn't usually 50 items long :)
3. Eliminate distractions and get quiet -Take some time to relax and get very quiet on the inside. You can listen to music, focus on your breathing, or any other method that works for you. The object is to get into a meditative state but even if you don't meditate you can do this... simply get all cozy like you're going to take a nice nap.
4. Call in your counsel - Once you feel nice and relaxed (but before you go to sleep), mentally call in your counsel. For me this includes my inner being, the Universe, and my spiritual guides. If you've never done this before then it may seem like nothing is happening. That's ok. Just mentally call out for them to come in and wait a few moments.
5. State your purpose - After everyone is assembled (if you don't sense anything that's fine... just wait a few minutes and continue); state your purpose which is something like "I've called you all here today to help me set up this new year."
6. Share your list with them - This is the part where I read my list. If I can't remember it then I simply open my eyes and read what I'd previously written. I read this as if I'm addressing an audience and while I'm reading I ask for volunteers to work on each item. I then imagine groups forming for each item on the list.
7. Go over the list with each group - Take the first item on the list and go over it with that specific group. Go ahead and add details, as if you are leading a team that's going to take care of this for you. If one thing on your list is to change careers you'd talk to the group about how you'll need help deciding what to do, finding the right connections and training, creating a timeline and transition plan, funding, and all the other things that go into changing careers. Keep it to the big stuff... this isn't a time to micro-manage, but there are times I find myself setting up sub-committees and handing out assignments.
8. Make sure everyone is on the same page - After addressing each group individually, address the whole again and ask if there are any questions or comments. If anything pops into your mind then answer that to the group. Do this until you are satisfied that everyone understands their roles and assignments. Again, if nothing happens or you feel like you're just making things up and talking to yourself that's fine. Just play along.
9. Thank and dismiss the counsel - After you've decided that everyone is on the same page, thank them for coming and dismiss them to do their jobs. Then allow yourself to take a nap, sit in a relaxed state for a little while longer, or get up and go about your day. Whatever feels right to you.

You Have The Power To Rewrite Your Reality

Thoughts have the power to affect each one and the life that one lives. One’s thoughts are very vital tools in creating and shaping the reality that one experiences. Thoughts are responsible for the creation of one’s emotional state, affecting the body, health and one's daily living in general, influencing one’s responses to relationships and to life and  determine one’s choices.

The power of your thought can enable reality, and all realities. This reality however at times often will have one accept otherwise. Believing that your fate lies in other people’s hands and to the things beyond one’s control, then one looses that basic power granted to him, which is the very power or capability to create.

Loosing this power, one then makes it easier for other persons to change and manipulate one’s own world into that which others want it to be, instead of transforming it yourself into that of what you really want it to be. Bear in mind, you and only you have that right and that power to make your world.

Creating or rewriting one's own reality will never imply as one being a success in the financial aspect of success. Being poor or rich is not the requirement of this state; however, maintaining a positive and healthy attitude is very much the prerequisite.

Remember that every successes stems or results from one’s own capability to attract the positive character of one’s divine Father. One must recognize that every incident that one lives through is intentionally created for one’s enlightenment.

Although one has been deceived in succession, one’s illusion constantly builds up like prison gates simply because one was unsuccessful to retrieve the life force of happiness. One must concentrate on certain things that guarantee a positive concept of success.  The powerful reason for this is that inside a negative energy compartment, it sustains and encourages only negative energy.

Energy streams where it is recognized. A negative energy should stream to its source in order to be alive. So much like gasoline set on fire. Fire is attracted to gasoline until such time that fire consumes everything and dies out. 
It will not live without something assisting in its formation. Take note that fire will wipe out everything provided that there is still energy feeding it.  The moment that fires sustenance is gone, then fire should, by law of nature, distinguish itself.

It is this exact law that exists in every person’s thoughts. The energy one produces will feed on the equivalent energy that is in existent in that certain thought.  Negative thoughts feeds on negative energy, in the same manner that positive thoughts attract and feed on positive energy.

The more negative thought that one has, the more that he creates negative energy all around him. This negative energy in time will build up enormously around one’s life for so many miles literally.

That explains why some individuals have negative incidents attached to them.  Certain facets go on haunting certain individuals for years to such point that these individuals feels that they are born unlucky or that they are cursed. When in fact, they have created this negative energy and have accumulated so much, feeding them off. 


You have the power to rewrite this reality, this negative energy that you have nourished.  Defeat it with pleasant, positive and inspiring thoughts, all the time, every time.  Continuously doing so will distinguish the negative fire within. 

Here are simple ways to rewrite your thoughts and your reality:

1.  There is a need and a must to change your beliefs and attitude concerning your present reality.  Shift your attention and focus in the direction that you believe can bring you more success and peace.  Turn negative thoughts into positive ones; whenever a negative thought enters your mind, block it off instantly with a positive thought. 

2.   Create an image or think of the new and positive reality that you want to achieve and focus on it constantly; should there is a need for you to decide on a certain aspect in your life, refer to that image, to help you in your decision making. 

3.  Heal all your negative thoughts.  Look inside you and determine what needs to be done and what you want to do.  Keep on focusing to that reality that you want to achieve and never be afraid to take the steps towards it.  Remember, fear is negative.

What Can the Law of Attraction Do for You?

"Why is true success so relatively effortless? It might be likened to the magnetic field created by an electrical current through a wire. The higher the power of the current, the greater the magnetic field that it generates. And the magnetic field itself then influences everything in its presence." David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.

Another way that you can "train" your thoughts is by the law of attraction. Many people believe that The law of attraction can help to determine the course of your future, and the successes or failure which you may encounter along the way.

Work

            Let us for a moment consider the possibilities of the law of attraction when applied to your working environment. For those who are searching for a job it may be impossible to find one which suits them. Is this because such a job does not exist, or is it because in their subconscious mind they believe that they will not be able to find a job and consequently are releasing so much negative energy out into the universe that they are actually driving these jobs away?
            Anyone who has ever tried to search for a job (or known somebody who was) knows that you have a drastically improved chance of finding gainful employment when you are already employed elsewhere than when you are unemployed. For someone who has lost their job and is currently without employment it may seem easier to climb Mount Everest than to get that first all-important interview. It seems as though job after job simply isn’t interested in what they have to offer.

Why is this? It certainly cannot be because there are no employment opportunities out there; after all, chances are they would not have applied for the job if the job had not already made its interest in recruiting new employees clear. Why, then, do people suffer from unemployment for months or even years at a time?

      The answer to that is they often believe they will not be able to find a job, and consequently they have stopped trying. In their subconscious minds they do not truly believe that any of their efforts will bear fruit, and so they are projecting that negative energy all around them.

      On the other hand, an individual who already has a job is secure and confident in their ability to find a job and do it well; after all, someone has obviously thought them worthy enough to hire them (and keep them) in the first place, and chances are if they are searching for a new job it is because they are confident enough in their abilities that they believe they deserve a job that will treat them better/pay them more/provide more stimulating work/etc.

      It is this quiet confidence that will lead to the effects of the law of attraction becoming obvious. Since they are projecting this positive energy around them they will be drawing in positive energy as well, attracting the job that they truly want. Remember when you were listing your goals above and you had to accept the fact that they could happen?

      Chances are that you too are looking for more from your career than you have right now; if you are not, then you probably don’t need to be reading this because you have obviously already mastered the ability to chart your own destiny. If you are still seeking for that golden opportunity, ask the universe for it, then sit back and wait, secure in the knowledge that the universal law of attraction will bring it to your doorstep. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but it will occur.
