Overcoming Fear – Is That A Secret of The Laws of Attraction?

The Laws of Attraction were in action for me today. I had decided to write a post about overcoming fear and had an idea in mind about what to write.

Then when I checked my email I found an email from Dr. Joe Vitale. I noticed it last night with its subject line announcing a free teleseminar on how to attract money. Since it was late last night when I saw it, I decided to wait until this morning to open it.

That was a wise decision! The teleseminar was today. I listened intently and took many notes as Dr. Vitale was interviewed by Annie Jennings, head of her own highly successful PR firm, Annie Jennings PR.

Since I enjoy and learn from hearing Dr. Vitale’s interviews of notable people and the insightful questions he asks, I was very attracted to this teleseminar.

I previously heard him quote someone as saying:

“ I’m totally satisfied. I just want more.”

Don’t you want more?

Because I have big dreams of helping lots of children as well as adults, the subject of attracting money was very attractive to me.

In today’s interview Dr. Vitale talked about how your conscious mind wants money while your unconscious mind puts up a psychological barrier. You both want and fear money at the same time.

So there he was talking about fear! Remember that I said I had planned to write today about overcoming fear?

He mentioned fear again when he was talking about…

How Can Positive Affirmations Help You?

When I moved from Texas to New York many years ago, one of the things I noticed about people there was how they responded to the question “How are you?”

The typical response in New York was “Not bad”.

In Texas I was accustomed to getting the response “Fine.”

What strikes you most about the difference in those responses?

Did you notice that in the first example, the focus is on negative words, and in the second example, the response is a positive word?

Do you know what Mother Teresa said regarding an invitation to an anti-war demonstration?

She said she would not attend an anti-war demonstration, but that if you invited her to a peace rally, she would go.

So, what does that illustrate?

It shows that Mother Teresa focused on the positive. She would not go to an event that was against something negative, but she would go to an event for something positive.

Her answer is in line with the Laws of Attraction… What you think or talk about comes to you. You attract what you focus on.

How can you apply that to yourself?

Why not create some positive affirmations to answer the questions that follow?

I wrote some example answers to give you a head start, but you should give an answer that most speaks from your heart’s desire. What do you want to attract? Beginning your affirmations with “I am” is very powerful.

What Does A Woodpecker Have to Do With The Laws of Attraction?

Last month while walking in the park along the bayou near our home, my husband and I were stopped by the sound of loud pecking….loud and very persistent pecking.

So we looked around and spotted a woodpecker on a small bare branch of a tree. Very busy was this little bird, pecking away.

What struck me as odd was that the branch he was pecking on was quite small.

I felt as if he was there to make sure we saw him on that tree barren of leaves in February.

So when I got home, I pulled out my book, Animal Spirit Guides – An Easy-to-Use Handbook for Identifying and Understanding Your Power Animals and Animal Spirit Helpers by Steven D. Farmer, Ph.D.

I let the pages flutter to the Woodpecker page where I read:

“If Woodpecker shows it up, it means:

You’re entering into a time of abundance and plenty.”

Among the possible 5 meanings for woodpecker showing up, I instinctively knew that was the one for me. I know that I am attracting abundance now that I am on the path intended for me.

What about you?

Are you on your intended path?

Are you taking actions to allow the laws of attraction to work for you?

Or are you just accepting what comes, resisting change?

Isn’t it time for you to get out of your comfort zone?  To challenge yourself?

Why not let yourself be inspired by these lyrics from my song, ‘Uplifted and Inspired’?

Is It Your Time to Stop Procrastinating & Have Fun?

A view of the Caribbean Sea from the Dominican...

If you read the About page of this blog, you know that I was co-owner of a fashion clothing store for many years. While that may seem like a fun and glamorous career, it included a lot more work and stress than it did fun and glamour.

Most of my time there was spent in the back room doing paper work. And I do not enjoy that.

When I chatted with customers, it sure seemed like they had a lot more fun in their lives because they had weekends off to do fun stuff.

I heard about their Caribbean vacations, cruises and frequent trips to Las Vegas and envied them.

Since our store was open on Saturdays, my only day off was Sunday….unless I was on a buying trip. And if you love to shop, you’re probably thinking how much fun that would be.

While I enjoyed seeing the new fashions, it meant making lots of decisions about what my customers would like and what sizes to buy. Not to mention…what colors?

So I took tons of notes on as much as I could each day. I never saw any other buyers take so many notes, but I knew it helped insure that I received what I ordered….not what the manufacturer chose to substitute.

Then at night in my hotel room, as I fought trying to stay awake, I reviewed the notes, struggling to remember all the clothes I’d seen that day.

Which ones should I eliminate?

For the next 2 to 4 days I followed that routine. Then upon returning back home, I went through the numerous pages of notes to decide which items to buy.

Too much paperwork!

I had to work within a budget, too, so that was challenging. Our livelihood depended on selling what I bought for women, and on what my husband bought for men.

Since I did the bookkeeping and bill-paying for the store, I had to catch up on that before and after the buying trips. My life was revolving around those trips….five of them a year. It seemed that as soon as I was about to get caught up, it was time to prepare for another trip.

Can you feel the stress?

I sure could, so when we had the rare chance to take a vacation for a few days, we headed to the Caribbean.  There in the Caribbean our stress floated away in the clean air and the clear turquoise and blue waters as we sailed and snorkeled.

We had fun dancing to the happy tunes and lyrics and beats of the native bands… And eating….delicious native fruits and fresh seafood and tasty Caribbean style dishes.

Walking on the white sand alongside the ocean was delightful. And watching the sun gradually disappear into the Caribbean Sea was such a treat.

Being there was so relaxing that we would completely forget about our business back home. It was truly a way to relieve our stress and to rejuvenate ourselves.

And that’s just what you need, isn’t it?
