Or are you like so many who are at the mercy of the thoughts they think… you know just allowing any old thought to take up residence in your head.  I for one, have often times been guilty of letting these old thoughts freeload in my head.  Not anymore!  I have thrown the bums out.

Recently, I have had some health challenges and have not given my blog much attention.  I had to undergo some medical tests and there was some question about how healthy my heart was.  My doctor asked me to consult with a cardiologist.  I immediately sprang into action after making the appointment. I was not going to sit by and worry about my heart.  I made a conscious decision to visualize the heart I wanted.  I began talking to my heart, thanking it for pumping and keeping me going all these years, despite how I treated it.  While visualizing a healthy heart, I held my hands over my heat and let the energy flow from my hands into my heart.  I did this every day until I saw the cardiologist.

The cardiologist looked over the tests and said, “This is a healthy heart.”  None of the conditions my doctors were concerned about were there.  I do have to have a stress test but the news was so much better than my doctors expected.

Mindset is powerful.  I could have spent my time worrying about my heart and creating stress which would help to create a self fulfilling prophecy or I could focus on what I want and shape my reality.

By keeping my focus on what I wanted, a healthy heart, I was able to raise my vibration to be in harmony with that thought.  All things are created twice, once in our mind as a thought and again in reality.  By keeping the focus on a healthy heart, I was able to bring that about in reality.

When working on creating your reality, this does not mean that you do nothing.  You still need to do the work. If all you do is sit and visualize, you will not manifest what you want. Action is the glue that binds thought and results together. For me that meant eating healthy, taking vitamins and minerals and being mindful of the things within my control to be heart healthy.

In the end, time will pass but what reality do you want to live in?  One of doom and gloom or one of optimism and abundance?

But I am reminded that the Chinese symbol for crisis is also opportunity. It is an opportunity for us to practice living abundantly even in the face of our own feelings of limitations and lack. It is an opportunity for the Haitian community to feel the abundance of love, support and money from the world. Opportunity abounds here. But what does that mean? Haiti has to be totally rebuilt from the ground up. It is an opportunity for all of us to give to the Haitian community a new sense of purpose, of starting anew. The biggest thing it takes to make that happen is money.

I know money is a tough issue to talk about today, given so many people out of work, given our own financial limitations. But I would suggest to you that we can think outside our notions of lack and limitation. It isn’t about how much money you donate, it is about the belief that you can. It is about the belief that we all can make a difference. It is an act of faith, a belief in the abundance of the universe that if you give, it will be returned to you tenfold. Even if you are out of work or your circumstances and conditions in your life make you feel like you don’t have much, try donating one dollar. For someone with a little bit of money, it will be a very generous gesture on your part which has real implications for the vibration you live in around money.

When I was younger, my parents didn’t talk to me about charitable giving. They always said that I didn’t make enough money to donate anyway. In fact, I didn’t learn that my parents engaged in charitable giving until I was an adult. When I first started to donate, it made me feel a part of something bigger than myself. I began to see that there is enough money.

Everyone can do something. Give up Starbucks for a week or bring your own lunch to work and donate the money you would have spent. This is a teachable moment for our children on giving. See if your company has a program of giving and suggest the charity or need that you are passionate about.

Here is a site that lists where you can donate and rates the organizations.

We all can do something. We don’t have to feel or be helpless, crying while we watch our televisions. There is action we can all take. I am posting my favorite Jewel song which reminds us that, “we are God’s hands.”

I’ve always loved the song Hands by Jewel. It is a beautiful song and to me, seems more timely than ever.  So many of us are worried about what is going to happen to us – will we lose our jobs, can we pay our bills, what happens if I get sick?  These things can happen, and they may not, so you end up worrying about things that never take place.

I am still in the hospital and I am scheduled to go home instead of a physical therapy rehab.  I have my moments when I worry, “I don’t feel ready, what is going to happen to me?”  But I can’t keep my focus there.

We all know that whatever you pay attention to expands.  So you have to keep your focus on what you want.  I have to keep my focus on what I want – being able to walk out of the hospital and be able to take care of myself.

So for all of us – I am putting a YouTube version of Jewel singing, Hands to remind us:

“Not to worry ’cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these”
I won’t be made useless
I won’t be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear”

I would like to hear your comments and experiences with worry and fear and how you deal with it.

Remember, “We are never broken.”

It is my New Years wish for you that you do dream and dream big! Get involved in your dreams and act on that! Don’t pay attention to what is happening in the economy today. Your current results are not your potential. The results you are currently getting are a reflection of what you have been thinking about!

It’s time to think new thoughts!  Make new plans!  Take responsibility for making it happen!  If you don’t care about your hopes and dreams, who will?

Your Life is Powered By You!

I first heard that expression from Les Brown.  He was talking about his experience in trying to get on the Robert Schuller program. Watch this clip as he shares how he made his dream a reality.

You can do this to!   As Les says, “your life is powered by you!”

I used to say that I need more money. I always needed more money. I was always coming from a position of lack. I used to joke that I had a disease called “fundsalow“: you know Funds Are Low! And that’s exactly what I got. I was always short of money!

So you can imagine my surprise when I first read You Were Born Rich by Bob Proctor and read that if you were to ask for “lotsa money” that that would not work because the subconscious mind does not know what “lotsa” is. The subconscious mind must accept whatever thoughts it is given and acts on it.

So I began to really take this lesson to heart. It is important to decide how much money you want to have. And dream big. Decide what it is you want and then ask yourself, why do you want this money? It is not enough to say that you want the money to live a better life. What will make your life better? Is it a new car? Bob recommends that you take your time with this and take out a piece of paper and write down all the things you want to spend the money on in the coming year. This is a perfect time to do this! Include your rent or mortgage, bills, vacation, savings…whatever you are going to spend money on.

Just thinking about what you want won’t make this happen. You must move into action! Find a coach to help you get what you want! Make 2009 the beginning of abundance and prosperity for you. You can do this!

If you are interested in finding out more about how to do this process and what Bob Proctor recommends on how to make this transition from a poverty mindset to a prosperity consciousness, sign up for my mailing list.  You can reach me by using the contact page on this blog.

I’d really love to begin a dialogue with you on how you are handling the issue of how much is enough?

So many of us do not see how powerful we are.  We are content to sit back and think that we are powerless.  What can I do, I am only one person? There is so much we can do.  John Wheeler, a Princeton Physicist says that the simple act of looking at something changes it.  We are not the audience, nor are we living our lives as if someone in the heavens is controlling everything we do.  We are co-creators of our lives.

What if you lived your life by that reality?  What would you change?  What would you think about?  How would your life be different?

I think this is great news!  To me this means that we can change our lives.

What do you spend time thinking about?  What beliefs do you hold about your life?  I would love it if you shared your thoughts about this with me.
