The best way to accomplish an improved environment is to focus upon the best things about where you currently are until you flood your own vibrational patterns of thought with appreciation, and in that changed vibration, you can then allow the new-and-improved conditions and circumstances to come into your experience.

Look for good things about where you are, and in your state of appreciation, you lift all self-imposed limitations (and all limitations are self-imposed) and you free yourself for the receiving of wonderful things.

— Abraham

Now, trying to find “good things” through the “Ick” is not an easy task but I have been trying and everything little thing or thought that I can find that helps me “feel good/better” I hold on to and milk it fir as long as I can before the next phone call, message, or person brings more stress/challenges/problems. Its almost like a feeling of being trapped and every time I try to “escape” I am caught and brought back. Which brings me to the “self-imposed limitations” where the key word here is “Self-Imposed” so reading this leads me to believe that “I” am my own captor and guard! Another difficult pill to swallow when on the outside its everything and everyone else but in reality I created (consciously AND unconsciously) this mess! Now I have to step back and take in the while picture that is my current situation & circumstances and just like playing “Gardens of Time” got to find the hidden items (things to feel good and grateful) in this mess and only focus on this until more things appear to also feel and show appreciation and gratitude for. The challenge will be find a calm place to reside and not allow myself to have such strong negative emotional reaction to the undesired things in my life for all I am doing when I do is ”feeding” them and thus will only continue to bring me more of the same undesirable circumstances and situations. Easy to say, harder to do….but must be done!

Offer a vibration that matches your desire rather than offering a vibration that keeps matching what-is.

The Daily Challenge is “finding AND maintaining” the vibration that matches my desire(s) instead of keep allowing myself to be sucked back into the “what-is-itis” syndrome! Especially when the phone rings several times every day from creditors, reminded daily of my poor choice in love (and the lack of the true meaning instead of a tool of manipulation) which also put me in the current financial (lack) state BUT it is my thinking & emotions that lead me here, and new, better feeling thoughts & emotions can lead me out! Now, just trying to find the “hook” that can help me separate my thoughts & feelings from “what-is” so that “THIS” stops getting fed more fuel to keep me stuck here. It is funny how when I am able to start easing my way free that is when the phone rings or another nagging / complaining email is received or something else to knock / pull me back. The timing can’t be coincidental because it happens too often!

Should I Leave or Should I Stay…?  It is very empowering to discover that your patterns of thought do not have to follow your current situation, and therefore your current situation (on all subjects) can change. . . . We do not recommend taking the physical action of leaving a relationship without deliberately coming into thought alignment with the new desires that have been born out of your current relationship. And then – whether you stay in this relationship or move on to another – you can have exactly what you desire.

— Abraham Excerpted from the book, “The Vortex, Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships ”

Overcoming and “seeing and feeling” and taking my thoughts beyond my current circumstances and knowing THIS can take me beyond and free me from the undesired on the one hand gives me hope for a brighter ad better future….but at the same time so much work needs to be done to clean up the mess that is my life now gives me feeling of hopelessness and frustration. But I cannot allow myself to be consumed by these circumstances and the daily stress they create in my life. I seek that quiet place to free myself from the noise and chaos long enough to reach, see, and feel that which is desired and Be That Now!

When your heart is singing, you are allowing Well-being. When you are appreciating, you are allowing Well-being. When you are yelling at somebody, you’re not. When you’re feeling insecure, you’re not. When you’re frustrated, you’re not.

— Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in St. Louis, MO on Tuesday, July 18th, 2000

Now to find more things for my heart to sing about and more things to appreciate that can raise me above the level of frustration that I feel every day as more challenges / problems remind me of their presence or find “friends” to add to the party. It is a challenging task yet one that I know must be done to “Allow Well-being”! If there is too much static then a clear signal / picture can not be sent and received…..

Abraham: Whenever you feel negative emotion, that is your Emotional Guidance System giving you an indication that you are, in that moment, looking at negative aspects of something, and in doing so, you are depriving yourself of something wanted.

    If you will set an intention to look for positive aspects in whatever you are giving attention to, you will begin to immediately see the evidence of the lifting of patterns of resistance as the Universe is then allowed, by your shift in vibration, to deliver your long-wanted desires to you.  –  page 190 – 191, Money and the Law of Attraction

It is at times difficult to accept responsibility knowing that I am blocking my own good (desires) because I choose to entertain and continue to give attention to the negative circumstances and situations instead of seeing past the undesired and see the Light in the darkness of the Desired….

I am trying to be more aware of “seeing” evidence that my thinking, feeling and vibrations are going in the correct direction. But I also have seen other evidence of my current vibration, not related to my desires but more of just where I am currently (Ex: A friend has asked me to help her learn English, and now within the past couple of days two more friends have approached me with the same interest in learning English better, neither of them knows I am currently helping a friend. So I guess its kind of obvious one of the currently active vibrations. I am sure just like an antenna, we can “vibrate” at multiple frequencies in different areas of our lives. Some areas “working as desired” while other areas needing “much work”! But I am aware of the most prominent active vibration and that is of “Lack” as I see lack in many areas of my life even down to my Blackberry constantly running our of memory, even after deleting an app very little space if freed and then I am back to being out of memory again and thus delete another app. Yes, small but an obvious indicator of that “Lack” vibration. And a source of daily frustration as I do not have money to upgrade to a newer device which has more memory. Yes, I will acknowledge that the correct thinking in this situation is I should be “feeling good” about having the new the Blackberry I desire. Yes, while small compared to the larger problems but a good place to start in building Faith, Hope, Confidence in the Source. Granted all the undesired is also evidence of the Source working on the lower vibrations…time to start “tweaking”!

Don’t let any place that you are standing frighten you. All it is, is a byproduct of some Energy alignment, which only gives you stronger clarity about what you want — and, most importantly, greater sensitivity about whether you’re in a receiving mode or locked off of it.

— Abraham Excerpted from the workshop in San Rafael, CA on Saturday, March 24th, 2001

Also must not let the place that I am standing keep me “stuck here” by giving this place too much of my attention and not where it needs to be which is on what I want! And also need to be sure the Spiritual Hailing Frequencies are open…..

While  it is obvious that a good-feeling body makes for a more pleasant physical  experience, we want you to understand that finding pleasant things to focus  upon also makes for a good-feeling body.

However,  most humans are approaching the subject of their physical well-being in a  backward manner. Most people who are experiencing physical ailments let their  physical condition dictate their mental attitude. In other words, their  emotions are responsive to their physical condition. When they are in pain,  they offer emotions of frustration, worry, anger, or fear. They want the condition  to improve so that their emotional state can improve.

Any  illness, or departure from physical well-being, begins at a cellular level—but  the overwhelming propensity of your cells is that of thriving. All day, every  day, your cells are reclaiming balance at such refined and subtle levels that  most people are completely unaware of the power and intelligence of their  cellular bodies.

Focusing  upon good-feeling objects of attention is the most effective way of providing  the optimum environment for allowing unhindered cellular communication and the  ultimate thriving of your physical body.

— Abraham Excerpted from Getting into the Vortex Guided Meditation CD and User Guide

And this would apply not only to just physical ailments but to feelings of exhaustion and fatigue. It is “challenging” to find those better “Good Feelings” when dealing with the “Booty Drag Syndrome” on a daily basis along the feelings of irritability and frustration. The irony is that the fatigue and exhaustion are due to working longer hours at work to make extra money while KNOWING that my paycheck(s) are not the Source of Abundance and Prosperity, yet I continue working the long hours, counting days to the next payday. Funy how one area impacts another which impacts another and so one. Tomorrow is holiday and my thoughts were to try to use this day for much overdue Spiritual work personal projects that I have not had any time to reserach and work on and now I have already been asked to maybe work tomorrow. So I guess my vibration of needing to work so much to make extra money is creating more work for me to work. Funny how that works and then trying to “feel” my way out of this…..
