When 'not' to go with the Flow!
Well, with all of the negative & worrying news plastered everywhere about the uncertain economy,
I wanted to be sure that I was not going to follow that dismal path. To go against the flow of what the majority appears to be focussing on is the suffering economy. So, to this I say; "I choose not to get sucked into the turmoil!" You see, if you allow the comments/beliefs of what the 'whole' of something is, be it good or bad affect your success in life then you will forever be chasing after the goal post of others. Not yours.
I cannot remember the last time I read a newspaper, or watched a newscast, or logged on to a news site to get the 'low down.' Because as far as I was concerned, when I made the decision to cancel all of my subscriptions & choice to go there, the 'going there' really did bring me 'low down.' Even though I donot subscribe to all the news outlets, you would have to be completely out of it not to know that there is a buzz of gloom that hangs with the words economy/banks/interest rates/investments and so on. So, I know what is going on out there, but I consciously choose NOT to let it affect how I intend my day, my events, my business, and so on. I merely choose not get all caught up in the swirl of it.
My advice to anyone finding themselves listening in to the drama, or getting pulled in, is to take a step back. Do an emotional check-in with yourself & ask yourself how your feeling about being involved in it. If you are feeling down, sad, bad, helpless, broke, or any other negative catalyst - move on & get back on track. You always have the answers within you. Listen to your inner guidance system & go with its' flow, not the flow of the popular majority or what seems to be the buzz of the moment.
Every time my husband informs me, or reminds me, or tries to get me sucked into a conversation about the state of the economy or the presidential debate (even though we are Canadian & have our own voting to be done) [he appears to be very intrigued in US politics] he pokes at me to 'come in and be on my side" conversation & I just say, "It's all good, don't worry." Then it is "what do you mean it is all good don't you know this is happening etc....." And off he goes in another gloom rant. So I say, "Honey, I am not saying the state of the economy is good or bad. I am saying that I choose to think of every situation as "good." He rolls his eyes & says "ok hunny!" {so I guess he gets frustrated when I am constantly practicing this "Law of Attraction" thing on him ;)}
I know it is hard to get your thoughts around something so generic like that, especially when people are loosing their jobs, and mortgage payments are being sacrificed, but in every situation, you can bring yourself to feeling better by starting with 'good.'
If I choose to wallow, or join in all the discussions about how bad things are, it just makes me feel bad, & I won't go there willingly. Feelings of being unworthy, broke, and so on is not worth it. So I chose to go somewhere good. If it is bad, I will somehow talk my way into it being good. I "EXPECT" it will all be good if not amazing. I mean really, the decision of what is good or bad is only each persons interpretation of it anyhow.
Even in the toughest financial times, recession & lay offs, there seem to still be people that come out on top ( and I don't necessarily those that obtain a financial gain.) These are people who have remained steadfast in their vision of an abundant life.
You don't have to have millions in the bank to think like a millionaire, or feel like a millionaire, or believe that you are coming into prosperity in every situation in your life. Feel it & live it in your vibration throughout your every day life. You will notice after a while that as everyone around you is worrying & scurring (which will make the situation worse) you are coming into 'feel good' abundance. It could be a chance meeting with someone, or a phone call, or a letter, or even a free coffee because the servers at "Starbucks" made too many drinks on the previous order. (this has happened more times that I can count to me)
So, instead of riding on that dismal worry-train to nowhere land, don't get sucked in by the hype of how terrible things are - live your day in expectation, & in eagerness in waiting for your fortune's - [however small they may seem - a coffee is a coffee & is a sign you are on the right path of expectation]
Now more than ever is the best time to start on a path of changing your daily thought patterns if you have felt yourself getting drained or sad due to conversations that do nothing to your advancing your life. If you feel bad then listen. Your emotions are your guidance system & telling you to get back on track. Listen to your inner self & get back to living a good life instead of a scared & worried life. Focus on your current abundance & think, feel, & believe of your prosperity coming. Your thoughts, your family, your tenacity, your health, and so on...make an appreciation list of all of your current abundances. Then make a list of things you want to have, obtain, or be a part of. Your goal list - is still applicable even if times are tough! Times are only tough if you believe they are. If you let the negative energy come into your belief systems & let the negative flow of the news & the industry carry you with it - then it is only a matter of minutes before you feel the difference within yourself of the shift taking place. Feeling negative, or bad is a shift that is telling you that you are turning away from your true essence of your true 'goodness.' Your essence only wants to be good & only be surrounded by good.
So, the next time you feel yourself going with the current of a negative flowing river, stop yourself & shift it back to your source, your essence. You will ALWAYS know what is best for you. Listen. If it makes you feel sad or bad, or not enough, then get back on your track!
Times are good! I have never felt better! I have never looked better! My family & I have so much fun! They are healthy, I am healthy! Life is pretty good.....And build it from there.
Always try to start off from somewhere good - then build your reality from there....
Hope this has brought a little good to someone somewhere! My hope is for your happiness in each day!
Feel good first - then move forward! It will almost always work out to bringing you to a 'better than expected' place & results!
Peace Out & "BE" abundant!
Stay tuned for our "Passion & Inspire Greatness" lines coming this winter!
