Living My Life Like Its Golden

Living my Life, Like its Golden

The other day I was watching some TV when a commercial came on. A lady was singing the theme song for the new show. The words were, “Living my life like’s it golden”. She sang these words several times to a rather catchy tune. I found myself smiling at the idea of living every moment of my life like it’s golden. Actually my life is golden, although I may not live every moment of it that way. I started thinking how would one live each moment as though it were a treasure. I thought about how little children live, so in the moment, full of laughter, joy and adventure, that sometimes I envy them.

I decided to “become as a little child” where my life is concerned. I will laugh more, smile most of the time just because it feels good to do so. I will run barefoot through the grass and the mud and giggle with delight. I will lay on my back and watch the animal parades in the clouds at least several times a week. I will eat my dessert first and if there is still hunger, have the main course.

I will greet the new morning with anticipation of all great things coming to me this day. I expect goodness and joy and it comes through for me time after time. I will set aside my preconceived notions of how people and the world “should be” and will greet each experience with a sense of awe and joy.

I will trust my intuition more and go with the gut feeling into new adventures and possibilities. I will play and then play some more, if there is time at the end of the day and I feel inspired to, I will do a bit of work.
I will trust Source more and let go of trying to control others. I will rejoice in the beauty of life, the song of wonder in a child’s giggle and join in, celebrating my Golden Life.

Living my life like it’s golden,
Donna

Between Asking and Getting

Between Asking and Getting

We have many wants, new cars, homes, money, relationships and love, just to name a few. We don’t run out of things and experiences to want for, to ask for. Wanting and asking are the really easy parts of our creating process. How to actually get what we are wanting is what we all want to know how to do.

Let’s cover some basic steps in working with the Law of Attraction. First we want. Our wants are generally based on a natural need and desire for creature comfort. We all want a comfortable home, trusty car, health, love, food and money.
When we don’t have these things in the quantity or quality that suits us we are aware of our wanting. We say out loud and to anyone who will listen that we want something. Our awareness of lack in our lives gives us opportunity to express a desire for something we do want.

The other day I had a unique experience of understanding the in between time .. that time between asking and getting. I awoke early with pain in my back. Now this made me realize that I really wanted to experience wholeness in my body. I was more aware of my desire for health and a good feeling back as I walked down the steps bent over. I went into the kitchen and took two Advil. My expectation was that the Advil would relieve the pain in my body. I swallowed them down with a cup of coffee and went off to the office to read email. I realized in just ten minutes or so that my back was perfect. I was experiencing perfection in my body.

I didn’t even think about the process of how the Advil worked, I didn’t pester it, checking on it’s progress or directing it’s movement in my body. I didn’t think about it as I sat reading email and smiling, feeling good about my life. At this point I had one of those “AH Ha” moments. I realized that between asking and getting is expecting. I expected the Advil and my body to work together to bring about the condition which I expressed a desire for. I know that my body’s natural state is health, anything other than that is not normal for me.

This place of “knowing” is the between asking and giving part of creating. I know that my body is perfect, right now. Any sign of discomfort is outside what is normal for me. So asking for my body to return to it’s normal state is very believable for me. This principle applies to others acts of creation as well. If I ask for more money, but deep down inside my ‘knowing’, my belief, is that money is hard for me to come by.. then that is what I continue to create.
I read a while back that we don’t get what we ask for, or what we want; rather we get what we expect. If my expectations, my beliefs are on lack, then lack is what I expect and what I attract over and over again.
The key is to identify your beliefs about your health, money, relationships, etc and work on changing these core values, your expectations.

Begin by identifying what you do believe and expect in life. In a notebook begin a page titled “What I believe”.
On the first line write About my body. Now off the top of your head begin to write down the things that come to you. Write quickly, don’t think, just write.
Continue until you feel you have covered your thoughts on your body.
Go to another page and write What I believe about money. Continue this exercise with as many subjects as you can think of. For example you can pages on love, relationships, children, jobs, parents, friends.
Each day go over what you have written and begin a new page with your belief system.

If you wrote on the About my body page that it’s fat, sick, tired, ugly. Then write My body is perfect right now. My body knows how to heal itself and does so constantly. All the cells of my body work in harmony to restore balance and wholeness.

If you wrote that money is hard to come by, there is never enough, etc, then proceed by writing something similar to… There is abundance everywhere. I am always surrounded by abundance. Prosperity and well being are natural for me.

What you are in the process of doing is changing your core beliefs into beliefs that will attract what it is that you really want in your life. This is the fastest and easiest way to create and attract what you really want. If you are not aware of the core beliefs in your life then you will experience frustration and aggravation trying to create something you don’t really believe in. It’s not just a matter of saying positive things and thinking positive things, although these activities will eventually point out to you that you don’t really believe what you are saying, they will not change your expectations.
It’s like wanting to be healthy and telling yourself that your body is created to be perfect… BUT a lot of my family members suffered this same affliction. You cancel out the positive thoughts with the core belief. The core belief is where the power is.

We all have reprogramming to do in our lives. We have adopted many beliefs without even thinking about them since childhood. Some of the all time favorites are
life is hard wow, do we really want life to be hard?
No pain no gain, horrible thought. Why do I want to hurt in order to be successful?
I don’t have a money tree in the backyard. Money doesn’t grow on trees. Tell that to the people with all the big bucks who trade in trees, let’s see paper companies, lumber companies. LOL you get the idea.
Sickness runs in families. Drug companies and doctors really love this one, it keeps them in business.

When we identify our core beliefs we are then able to shift them to beliefs that are more in line with what we really want. Remember, beliefs are your expectations about life and how it works. Your expectations are what you continually attract more of to yourself. By being aware of and working to change your beliefs, you change your expectations and change your life.

Asking and Receiving Law Of Attraction

Expectations and allowing

The other morning I had an opportunity to understand allowing and receiving. I awoke early with the small of my back very uncomfortable. I turned and twisted and couldn’t find relief. I came downstairs and got the bottle of Advil, taking two pills out I knew that these were created to relieve pain and promptly took two of them.

Going into my office I booted up the computer and began to read email. Within a few minutes I was aware that my back was perfect. It was one of those delightful Ah Ha moments in life where the light bulb over your head lights up and you just Know something. I realized that my need for a perfect feeling back led to action; taking the Advil. My expectations were that Advil works, easily and quickly without any further supervision on my part. There was no need for me to direct it’s path through my body, no need to check in every few minutes to make sure it was working. I know that my natural state of Being is Wholeness. I also expect to experience this. The stiff and sore feelings in my back were also created due to my thinking that all the standing I did Saturday would lead to a backache, which it did. LOL

As I sat at my desk I accepted the wholeness in my body and the working of Advil to bring relief. This is the answer to one of my biggest questions in the Law Of Attraction. That question is, what do I DO while waiting for the desired manifestation to show up in my life???
I expect.. period. I know that this is LAW.. and this law works every time, all the time. A lot of the time I resist the manifestation by trying to do the work myself. My job is to be clear about what I want. I take time to fill in all the details of this want so I am really, really sure this is what is wanted by me. I ask, I do this by feeling myself having this very thing that is wanted in my life right now. The moment that I express a desire with words, thoughts, feelings; that thing is already on it’s way to me.

This period of time is where a lot of us get anxious and try to force the manifestation with work, begging, pleading, and worry thoughts. This is most often why it takes so long for us to receive, we are pushing it away by trying to force it.

As a gardener I understand this process with the seed I plant. I take time to prepare the soil, pick out the perfect flower or vegetable seed, make sure they are planted to the correct depth. I water and keep out the stray weeds. I expect the seed to sprout and grow into the correct plant that matches the seed I put in the ground. I never dig them up to make sure they are sprouting correctly. When I go into my newly planted garden I talk to them, telling them how wonderful they are, how perfect they are. I praise them and give thanks for the harvest I know is coming several months away.
I make preparation for this harvest by cleaning out my freezer, getting my canning jars ready and making sure I have enough of them to hold the magnificent bounty that is on it’s way into my life.

For all the things I am asking for in my life, this is the process I use to receive them. I ask, I expect, I make room for, and I receive.

Love yourself well,
Donna

Create a New Experience

Create a New Experience

Think new thoughts, new reality.

I read recently that we have about 60,000 thoughts a day.. wow that’s exciting. What’s more interesting to me is that 90% of them are old thoughts. We seem to get stuck in thought habits where we rehash the same material over and over again. With all this rethinking going on, it’s no wonder that most of us experience the same or very similar life experiences.

Our thoughts are alive, they are energy. Our mind and body takes notice of and works to bring about those things we think about. The longer we think a certain scenario the more likely we are to encounter it as an actual experience. Our thoughts are bouncing about all the time, even while we sleep. Personally the sleeping thoughts are the most insightful for me. As I awake I lay still and listen to the thoughts running through my head. I am often surprised to find worry thoughts, anger thoughts, depressing thoughts there. I know that I have to reclaim my mind and my thought life.

Change for most of us is something we resist. However, only by changing our thoughts can we really find ourselves free from all the thoughts that keep us in limited experiences. Take the example of the elephant who is trained from being held by a chain to a large tree to finally a small rope on a twig. He believes himself trapped and doesn’t attempt to free himself.

How often are we as adults held by a tiny rope of thought we learned and accepted as children. We adopted others opinions of ourselves and how life is supposed to work. We find ourselves frustrated by our lives and wonder why.. why.. The why is found in our thought patterns.

Spend a week or two being aware of your thoughts. Stop now and again what you are doing and listen to the information running around your head. Once you are aware of the type of thoughts you are having, make a conscious decision to change your thoughts.

I have challenged myself to change my world by changing my thoughts. I begin the day being aware of what I am thinking. Once I locate an area of thought which is a rerun of the past I pay attention to rethinking that situation in my life. For instance, if you are worried about a bill not yet paid, change your thinking to being thankful for the bills that you have paid.
Changing worries to blessings is a very empowering way of changing your reality by changing your thoughts.
If your toe hurts, change your thoughts to be thankful for the toe and for all of your body. This type of thinking directs the body to create more to be thankful for. This works by programming us to be aware of the blessings in our lives and being thankful. Our mind begins to create in accordance with the thoughts we are having.

If you are worried about money, change your thinking by being grateful for all the money that comes into your life. Honor the money energy with thought and perhaps even a little ritual. When I pay my bills online I always take the paper bill and write all over it. PAID Yipiee Thank YOU, then tear it up and throw it away. I thank the money for being in my life. I thank the utilities for making my life comfortable.

Personally I have come to the place in my life where I don’t resist change so much, rather I welcome it. I have come to realize that resisting change is resisting new experiences. I have never been a person who enjoyed re runs on TV and don’t much care for them in my life either these days. I have reached down and released myself from the tiny rope that kept me in the same place and have walked on down the road to see what I can see. I take a new attitude and new thoughts with me to create a new experience.

My 5oth birthday brought about many changes in my thinking. I began to realize how limited I was in my life. I did the same things the same way I had done for years. I opened my arms to new experiences and challenge myself daily to new thoughts and new experiences. Will you take the new thought challenge with me?

Smiles,
Donna

Law of Attraction Creation Priciples

The Law of Attraction is not new, it's always existed and always been at work. The Secret of it is that most people have not been aware of this Principle of Creation and have had it working on their behalf without much conscious awareness on their part. Thus most of us have created a lot of what we don't want rather than what we really do want to experience.
I don't know anyone who says that they want to be sick, poor, sad, depressed, lonely, unloved; yet I do know a lot of people who experience many of these "circumstances" on a daily basis. I hear them saying that they really don't want to be sick, poor, lonely, etc. They even state how tired of being in this state they are and how they yearn for a richer, better life. When we are not aware of our natural right to be whole, healthy, wealthy and wise, we focus on a false reality. This "reality" is due to our not accepting responsibility for our own creation of worldy experience.
What we think and feel about most, is what we experience the most of. When our thoughts and feelings are caught up in the loop of endless talk and feeling about being sick, sad, poor, lonely; we continue this state of creation over and over again.

To make a point of how powerful our thoughts and feelings are take a little mind journey with me for just a moment. Think of a time in your life when you were really happy, when you felt in love with the world. See it in your mind, notice the sounds, the smells, the colors and textures of this experience. Take 15 seconds or so for this remembering. Now how do you feel? Are you smiling, laughing? We have the power to Be in any state which we can imagine. This works with memories of the past as well as moving forward into new experiences by imagining ourselves already there. By thinking about good times in our lives we keep our bodies producing feel good chemicals which raise our vibration and attract more to feel good about. This works the opposite way just as easily. When we stay in a state of remembering circumstances which cause us to feel angry, sad, poor, etc.. we continute to attract these type of circumstances.

When we direct our thoughts with feelings quickly following into areas in which we feel good, good things happen. This sounds so simple that we often dismiss the power of it all. Many Teachers throughout history have shared this Principle of Creation with us. One of my favorite quotes is "as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is". How encouraging that statement is. If I can think it, I can do, be, have it. Where did all the wonders that we experience today come from? They came from Thought. Someone had a thought, an idea that they wanted to bring to life, to create. Just in my lifetime I have seen phones with no wires, computers in my most homes, wonderful new images on the television, I grew up with black and white.
Going back even further in time we realize that someone had to idea to create everything we now experience from flight travel around the country all the way to the moon. Where did it all start? It started as Thought and thought focused on creates. It has to, it can do nothing else. Our thoughts are the energy of creation, bringing into our lives all the magic we can accept. The Priciple of Creation always works, all the time, whether we consciously create or create without awareness. We are responsible for our experiences and knowing this, we can now consciously create a life that brings blessings to ourselves and our world.

Love yourself well,

Law of Attraction Secret

By now most have heard about The Secret and the Law of Attraction. Basically it's about what we expect, we receive. Actually we have all been using this secret law all our lives. Being aware of it we can now work with the law to attract into our lives what we really do want rather than all the stuff we don't want.

Growing up we were all taught a set of "expectation", those beliefs which have governed our lives. If our family traditions were based on hard work, suffering and just getting by, then this is the life we have attracted to ourselves.

Those of us who had parents who knew how to work with the law were taught that life is joyful, wonderful and exciting, good things happen to us all the time.
Do you see the contrast? Both of these sets of expectations work equally well. They both attract to themselves more of what is expected.

If you are in the second group then go share the principles of Law of Attraction with everyone you meet. Let them know how this works.

For those in the first group who desire to be in the second group.. listen up. Your awareness of your expectations is the first step in changing your life. You might like to sit down with pencil and paper and do a little workshop. Write down what you belief, expect about life, money, relationships. Go ahead, be honest, no one is going to see this but you.

If your list looks something like this
Life is hard
Money comes by hard work and sweat
No pain no gain
Relationships are difficult and painful
Other people have all the luck
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all
I am overweight due to bad family genes

Now to change your thinking and begin changing your expectations.
Let's take the beliefs one at a time and rephrase them so that we line up with what we really want in life
Life is filled with joy and beauty. I experience good times and joyful happenings each day.
My life is as easy and fun as I expect and make it, and I expect it to be joyful.
Money comes easily and constantly into my life
All my relationships are respectful and loving
I have good luck all day every day.
I expect good luck, intuitive actions and joy each day.
I am perfect in the eyes of GOD right now, my body is strong, beautiful and wonderful right now.

Take your list of expectations and rewrite them to state what you really desire.
Check back for more on this topic.. and how to begin attracting to you what you really really want.

Smiles,
Donna
