Mud slinging, and soap opera drama

I am amazed when I listen to the news about the candidates who want to run for president and the news coverage of the drama.

Seems that Hillary wants to sling mud and everyone talks about that. Then they turn sides and say what's wrong with Obama that he doesn't sling mud back? It's seen as weakness that he doesn't play as dirty as Hillary.

We've seen this aspect of politics forever and I am surprised that more of us are not just plain tired of it and demanding cleaner campaigns.

I turn on my TV and scroll through my options to find that most are violent in some manner or the other. People are either screaming at each other blaming them for what's wrong in the relationship, or sharing terrible secrets that shock and awe the audience.

Then there's reality TV where people are pitted against each other in order to win the prize at the end of the show.

Many ask why TV and movies are so violent these days and suggest that it influences our children to act in violent ways.

I suggest that TV and movie reflects the masses. It's because so many people love the drama, that's why they use it for amusement on TV and movie.

When people get to watch the intense emotional drama of others it helps them to forget their own drama. It also gives them a feeling of being part of the “drama tribe”. They can point out that this is normal, it's the way it is. Everyone experiences these same situations.

By immersing ourselves in this intense emotional drama and conflict all day long, we tend to be excited by the problems of others rather than dealing with our own lives and making choices which change our situations.

So many have a problem with the Law of Attraction saying it doesn't work and they don't understand that it's working alright. Just look around you. The more our society focuses on “reality” the more reality of the same genre we get.

All this starts with the individual and then builds up to include more and more people, each adding more drama to the world. Families, groups, states, nations, then the world join hands in creating and sustaining the drama of war, famine, poverty, and disease.

If we take it back down to it's lowest denominator, one person at the time, and change our thinking which changes our feelings, which in turn changes our “reality”, we then make a different type of impact on the world.

Each of us gets to choose the energy we put out to the world and what it attracts back. Are you part of the drama or part of the solution?

I tell my 14 year old daughter and 6 year old grandson when they disagree this very thing. You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution.

We are part of the problem, the drama when we enjoy conflict as entertainment, getting pleasure from the hardships of others. It might make you feel powerful for a few moments.. problem is though it's like an addiction. It takes more and more of it to maintain these false feelings of power and control.

I notice on line that the blogs that generally get the most hits are the ones where emotions are most inflamed. People want to jump right into an argument and add more wood to the fire.

We can continue this rather than joining together to create solutions for our world at our own peril.

If we join together in gratitude and thankfulness, love, harmony and oneness we can and will find new energy sources that don't pollute. We will discover that there really is more than enough of everything for everyone.

We will discover how working together in peace creates more peace.

We can change the world.. but first we must change ourselves.

Blessings,

Donna

Creatures of Habit

For centuries we have been creatures of habit out of necessity. It was important that mankind find a way to do things that worked easily to find food, water and shelter and continue doing it that way in order to survive.

Today it's in our genes, to create habits for ourselves that are repeated without thought.

We get dressed the same way each morning, put on the coffee, grab a bagel and run out the door.

It's amazing to me how easy it is to create a new habit.

Recently I broke my arm and it was really hard the first few weeks to do every day things. I had to stop and think now about how to get dressed, get coffee made and even had to learn to type with one finger of my left hand instead of the way I had done it for years.

After a month of doing things with thought before hand I managed to create new habits.

When the cast came off and I had just a brace I caught myself many times doing things automatically the same way I had done them while the cast was on. It's amazing just how quickly we get in a rut of doing things and just do it that way without any thought whatsoever.

We do the same things with beliefs. Beliefs are thoughts we think over and over until we just accept them as truth/fact and think no more about them. They become a habit.

While this may serve us well in an emergency life or death survival situation, it limits us in every other aspect of our life experiences.

While we are going through our day without any thought at all about what we are thinking and or doing, our mind is racing with thoughts that confuse, conflict and limit us.

This lack of consciousness gives way to constant thinking without awareness.

Lack of awareness keeps us doing and believing things and even creating situations which seem to confirm them, thus we don't stretch out and think or try something new.

After the cast was off my arm actually hurt when I stretched it out. It had stayed in one position for so long that it forgot how wonderful and easy it was to be at full length. I had to work with it many times a days slowly reaching forward and reminding it of it's full glory. The muscles had also gotten smaller, the skin had begun to shed and peel.

With renewed energy I worked the muscles in the arm to restore it to fullness and it worked with me to change.

Habits are easy to change and pretty quick too. The trick is realizing that you are living by habit, sort of like a robot without thought, or reason other than you've always done it that way.

Today do something in a different way. Think about what you are doing and why. Be open to the experiences of your day rather than just moving through them unconsciously. Throw open the doors and windows of your life and be aware of your life, your thoughts and your actions.

By asking yourself what am I doing and why am I doing it this way your give yourself pause to actually be present with each moment of your life experience.

Being present, being aware opens new doors and opportunities to create change and well being.

Today be aware of each step, each action and listen to your thoughts. They may need an overhaul too.

You can easily change from habit to awareness just by choosing to do so.

Make it a great day.

You Have the Power

You have the power

What if I were to tell you that you have the power right now to change how you feel?

That no matter what is going on in your life, no matter how unpleasant and unwanted your present circumstance might be, you DO have the power to not only change how you feel, but to change what is going on.

I know, I know, you're thinking that I just don't understand this hard place you are in right now. You have a right to feel angry, frustrated, discouraged.. and you are correct. You do have the right to feel bad, but as Abraham says, “why would you want to exercise that right”?

What if I were to tell you that what you are experiencing right now is mostly due to how you have been thinking and feeling for years and years?

Your thoughts and feelings work like a giant magnet attracting more of the same energy, experiences into your life over and over again.

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

Even the writers of the Bible knew the principles of co creating. You reap what you sow.

If you have ever planted a garden or a plant you saw that you don't get corn from a rose bush, you get roses from a rose bush and corn from a corn plant.

One plant also bursts forth with many roses or kernels of corn, you get more than you first sowed.

This is the natural order of growth. When we apply this to our thoughts we realize that thoughts bring forth a harvest of feelings in line with our thoughts. These feelings then bring forth a harvest of experience in line with the feelings.

Now for the exciting part, when you choose our thoughts in line with what and how you wish to feel, you set in motion the manifesting magnet to attract more of the same energy.

This always works, all the time, every time. You can't get around it. So, work with the principles

yo co create what it is that you really wish to experience.

I know that sometimes it feels really hard to shift emotions. Things just are not the way you want them to be. Ok, that's what you are experiencing right now. It's proof that the Law of Attraction is at work in your life. Use this as you inspiration to experiment with different thoughts and feelings.

What can you think differently so that you can change your feelings even a little bit.?

Perhaps you can find one thought that feels better? The exciting thing is once you find that first thought that feels better another better feeling thought comes more easily to you. Stay with that one a bit and an even better feeling thought comes your way.

See where I'm gong with this?

Just like one bad feeling thought gives way to an even worse feeling thought and state of mind.. good feeling thoughts grow and bloom, bringing a harvest of good feeling emotions which in turn bring about experiences in line with what you are thinking and feeling.

Play with it and enjoy the power that is yours to change how you feel and what you experience by choosing thoughts that feel good.

You'll soon see that you are indeed a powerful creator and you will smile.

Love yourself well,
Donna

What Are You Looking At?

What are you looking at?

I have a cat living with me who really inspired me this morning.

When I woke up he came at once to me meowing telling me he was out of food. Sure enough his food bowl was empty.

Funny thing though is that a forty pound bag of food was sitting a little bit away from his dish.

Sasha the cat wasn't interested in the bag of food, nor was he trusting me to put food in his dish and being patient about it. He saw that his bowl was empty and was upset about it.

My reminding him that I always feed him and he has never been without food didn't seem to make sense to him. All he knew was that he was out of food.

His focus was totally on what he didn't have, not faith in me to deliver food or the big bag of food sitting in the floor.

How often do we do the same thing? We are so focused on what we don't have, on what is not the way that we want it right now, that we don't stop to realize all the blessings that are right in front of us.

By placing all our attention on what is not the way we want it, we don't have much space in our conscious thoughts and or emotions for inspiration and divine action.

While we sit beside an empty bowl meowing over it being empty all our energy is used in complaining and being afraid rather than trusting in the goodness of LIFE and a full bag of food.

This last month I have dealt with a broken arm from falling off a fast moving horse. The first few days I was tempted to think in terms of what I couldn't do now that my arm is in a great big cast. Typing is more challenging and creating jewelry with one hand isn't easy. I have had to find new ways to do everyday things from getting dressed to cooking food.

While it has been challenging my focus has been on what I can do rather than on what I can not do. Rather than so much typing I started a video and audio blog. These are great fun and something I have been wanting to do.

I have helped my youngest daughter learn how to cook some of our favorite meals and we have worked together to clean the house. She has even learned how to ship customers purchases, getting her more involved in our internet based business.

I have also used this time to catch up on some of my reading and be more aware of my thoughts and emotions.

The principles of Law of Attraction teach us that our thoughts give way to emotions, emotions are like magnets drawing more of similar energy into our lives. What you pay attention to with your thoughts become your emotions which in turn is your attractor factor. This is what you ask for more of with your energy vibrations.

Knowing that we attract based on being vibrationally in line with experiences, and things, it makes sense that we pay attention to what we are looking at.

If your are presently experiencing situations that are not pleasant to you, use these as contrast to help you define what it is that you really do want.

If presently you don't want to continue in poverty, no relationship, or unfulfilling job... this is your point of inspiration.

Write down what you don't want. Be honest about it.

I don't want to be poor.

I don't want to be in a relationship where I don't feel loved and honored.

I don't want to work a job that isn't fulfilling.

From this point you are clear about what you don't want. You have a living example of it right now.

Jump over to giving details about what you do want, be clear, be honest.

I enjoy having money to live in a wonderful, safe and comfortable home.

I enjoy having money to eat out, gift my family, friends and charities.

I enjoy relationships based on love, respect, honor and good times. I am a wonderful friend and enjoy wonderful friends.

I enjoy a job that allows me to share my joy with the world, inspiring others to joy and fulfillment.

I enjoy following my passion and inspiration.

I love what Echart Tolle says about it, Accept where you are right now. If you are stuck in the mud, struggling only gets you covered in more mud. Accept the Right Now of your life and allow inspiration to come to you. You will be delightfully amazed at how easily life changes when you change what you are looking at.
