I Love You

I just got back from an interview with a recruiter and I think things went really well-we hit it off so much that I didn't really learn too much about the job lol!

On the way there, I was listening to my CD "The Key" by Joe Vitale. I am listening to them for the second time and they are hitting home with me even more than the first time I listened which is almost a year ago.

The basic premise is that to attract anything we want from life, we first must get clear on what that is. My problem is this: I want to get clear on the career and financial areas of my life, but I don't know what it is I want to do. I either want to open a business of my own, or get a job that satisfies me emotionally, creatively and financially. The problem I am having is can the LOA work here if I want to get clear about 2 different things? I need to ask Joe!!

One of the methods he uses to get clear is saying "I love you" wherever and whenever he feels the need. He typically says it to himself in his head, not out loud. I have been doing this and it really brings a sense of peace and calmness to me. In fact, I have doing a little experiment to see if I can feel the effect that these 3 words have. I have been saying "I love you" to myself, and whenever I feel I need to when I am walking down the street, in a line, etc and I feel calm and relaxed. Then I do the same thing but using the words "I hate you." After all, they are just words right? WRONG. Even though I know on a conscious level that I am doing an experiment, and I don't really mean the I hate you, I feel myself get tense and sad.

Try it, you'll see. In fact, I was talking about something similar with one of my "LOA mentors" as I call her and she told me of an experiment that was done to see whether these words and their vibrations actually could be felt. A group said the words "I love you" to a bowl of water, and then said "I hate you" to a different bowl. Both bowls were then put in the freezer, and when they came out, the "I love you" bowl had beautiful swirls and patterns formed in the ice. What happened to the "I hate you" bowl of ice?? You guessed it-the ice formations were very different, and clumped together in tight circles.

Maybe this would be an interesting experiment to try...

Anyway, that's all for now. I love you!!

Hello

This is the first day of my blog and I am quite excited! I have never blogged before but have kept an on-again, off-again journal over the years. It's amazing when the old journals are dusted off and you read what you had written about years ago-what seemed so important and worrisome at the time seems like nothing today... I just read that only about 10% of what we actually worry about comes true and things are usually not as bad as we expect them to be when they do!! Why do we put ourselves through so much mental anguish??

The purpose of this blog is to track my experiences while doing Joe Vitale's program "The Secret to Attracting Money." I have not received it yet, but it should arrive in a week or so and I am excited to start!

When I first started hearing about the Law of Attraction (along with the rest of the world when The Secret came out), I was interested, but I thought the book and the movie was like one big infomercial. However, some of the stars of the movie interested me (Joe Vitale, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, James Arthur Ray and John Assaraf in particular) so I started reading their books which weren't as "fluffy" as The Secret and discussed the LOA in more detail.

It took me a while to really understand the LOA and to live it-and believe me, I am still very much at the beginning stages of my journey. My biggest challenge was going from understanding the LOA on an intellectual level to living the LOA on a day to day level and getting my subconscious mind on board, so to speak.

The funny thing is, once I really made the commitment to doing this, all sorts of things and people came out of the woodwork at exactly the right time when I needed them in my life. These people had been living the LOA for years and came into my life to help guide and teach me through their experiences. I then began to really examine my life and things that had happened to see whether certain things or events were "coincidences" or really manifestations of the LOA, which now I see that they were.

I am not a person who is naive, and I often played devils advocate with trying to disprove the LOA to those guiding me-after all, isn't everything just good luck/good timing or bad luck/bad timing? However, as I go through my journey, I am coming to the realization that this is not the case. It takes time to wrap your head around the concepts and to believe, and I am still doing that as 34 years of programming cannot be undone overnight-but I am ready to have new programming. After all, the old stuff hasn't given me the life that I want in every level.

I have great friends and family, a great fiance, a house I love, and the 2 best dogs in the world, but money has always been an issue for me, as well as my career. I seem to never have enough savings (I love to shop, can't help it!), and I don't have a career that excites me. I want to use the LOA, and Joe's program to get this part of my life to where I want it to be. I also hope that anyone reading this blog is inspired to take action as well, for anything they want in their life!!

That's enough rambling for now, and I look forward to sharing my journey with you :)
