Law of Abundance during a Recession
This is a bit of blog therapy for me...I am guilty of doing the opposite of each of these things. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about being able to quit my job, but first I need to make enough money working this web business to do that...
...but first, I need to truely and completely live and act in accordance with the law of abundance.
Law of Abundance: Think about creating and delivering value, instead of focusing on making money.
After reading a post by Steve Pavlina, I realized that I had been distracted by focusing on money or a future state and when I will have money. This attitude was (is?) distracting me from what I really need to do...which is CREATE and DELIVER value...definately not algined with the law of abundance.
SBI takes care of the deliver...I need to focus on the creating...THANKS! again Steve...look at me, I wrote something. I don't even care if this sucks...heh, I'm a newbie and proud :-)...this method will help me align with the law of abundance.
If I can change the way I think, believe and act...SBI will take care of the law of abundance...what a deal!
Law of Abundance: Meditate more often or start meditating.
I have gotten away from my mediation practice and writing lately...you might have noticed the the writing part...if you were waiting for something new to show up...but you probably didn't notice that I wasn't meditating that much......If you did notice me NOT meditating, please let me know via the contact form, because you are a really powerful physic! :-)
So, this morning when I woke up, I knew I wanted to write something for this web page, and I finally decided to meditate first. I have a new mediation system that I love that I will link again here.
This is from Eckhart Tolle and Kim Eng...the audio only lasts about seven minutes and then suggest that you carry on your own for another five.
Anywho, during (or shortly after) I remembered being inspired by Steve's post to write a response to his post that I already linked above.
The point is, is that when I meditate, which basically means focus on something other than "worry" and "Self-doubt" or even the questions "What should I write about today?" or "I wish I had enough money to quit my job NOW"...all these questions I let go of for about 10 minutes.
After those ten minutes of mediation, I opened up KompoZer, my HTML editor and wrote answers to Steve's questions...and how to deal with the recession...
...that's this post...that was like instant karma or something...what I want is in me...I already have it...I just need to use it to CREATE content on this site...the best way to start writing something new is to meditate...
...and meditation helps me align with the law of abundance.
Law of Abundance: Respect your time to CREATE...don't make excuses and blow it off
I had been using from 4:00 - 6:00 am to CREATE content...and then I started doing other things during that time...instead of my writing routine...I need to respect the space to create and let whatever wants to come...COME OUT.I had started reading, making breakfast, going to the gym, surfing the internet, and other things that are not CREATING VALUE...you have to love my ego...it's so sneaky.
Sure those things are fun, but, they are not what I want from this time, even though each time I did them, I told myself I wanted to do them...what I really was doing was avoiding the blank page...I was afraid of the the blinking cursor.
Writing more, creating more quality, free content here will help me...align with the law of abundance.
Law of Abundance: Learn to love where you are NOW regardless of your situation.
This idea came from another one of Steve's post and that Idea is that you can unconditionally make friends with the present moment and still work on what Steve calls growth.Steve is clearly aligned and living the law of abundance...he makes all his income giving away free content and he loves to create it...
I like to call it making my "Earth dream more fun for me"...and when I say me here I mean me the soul that has been to earth many many lifetimes and has a personality of its own. My earth dream would be way more fun if I were living in with a belief system that was closer to the law of abundance.
What I don't mean is make my Earth Dream better for my ego...I want to diminish my ego to the point where there is only the necessary parts of ego that allow me to excel on earth without feeding it any power.
Steve talks about how to accept yourself regardless of your situational position...be that broke...wealthy...homeless...or even "Happy"...its all the same illusion so you can accept everything.
At the same time, you can "grow" and get better and whatever your soul wants to experience during this lifetime...that's really why your soul came to earth to begin with.
I think my soul really loves beer and watching movies and TV...that might be part of my soul's life plan....or it might be my ego. What do you think? :-)
There is nothing wrong with growth as long as I don't peg my self esteem and identity to my ever changing "life situation"...I am free to improve and change things from a ego-less (or ego diminished) state.
The soul learns and experiences things on earth, otherwise...what's the point of coming here.....so when you grow...you step out and do NEW things and have new experiences.
My soul is working overtime to show me the way to the law of abundance...my ego love scarcity...hmmm.
The ego is here because of a lovely little part of evolution, and the ego is great, it serves its purpose on earth, but the ego really loves doing the same things that you have already done over and over and over again...so when you catch yourself having the same experiences over and over and over again...you might be working from a state of ego.
Doing these things is not wrong...it can be fun...just use the ego's trips into past repetitious behavior as a sign to let you know that the soul is waiting with a "to do" list that has a bunch new things to try out while on earth during this life.
Acceptance of whatever is in the dream will help to align me with the law of abundance.
Law of Abundance: When in doubt...just create more value
I will be the first to admit that I would like to become more aware of why "I just to don't feel like writing" sometimes. I suppose it could be fear or a bunch of past-life pain or some other ho-hah(!)...but regardless of the cause...I just need to WRITE anyway.Maybe what I write that day will be something like...ok world...you all suck and I don't want to write today...then I might go into why I don't want to write...I'm hungry and sleepy and we are out of bananas so I can't my favorite smoothy...
Or perhaps, it might be that I really want to read that cool new book about finding your soul's purpose in this life by contacting your spirit guides...that sounds like a far more important thing to do than write some drivel on a web page...right??!?
If I had written that much on both of those days...my writing slump would have been over, because I would have written it!!!
I'm not the first blogger to realize it, but blogging is therapy for both the writer and the reader...you are doing it to deal with your stuff and allowing your people in to enjoy the ride...WHAT FUN and good for us too!
Creating value through this web page is my long-term solution to living the law of abundance...so I should want to do it more than anything else that might be considered "fun"...
Law of Abundance: Learn to recognize procrastination and learn from it.
This morning when I got up I fiddled around a little bit before I started my mediation...it was a ten minute fiddle, but those are ten minutes gone...at least I figured out that I was fiddling around after 10 minutes instead of two hours.I was able to notice that I was procrastinating...and move on to the next step in the routine...which was to meditate...and then write.
I guess procrastination is a lesson that I need to work through on the journey towards living the law of abundance.
Law of Abundance: Build new habits to remind yourself how to remember to create and deliver.
If you have a long list of things that you do BEFORE you write...or do whatever you do to create value for the world...I suggest you slice and dice that list to a only a couple of prep steps and then get to the thing.Before, I used to get up, make a smoothie, meditate, maybe go to the bathroom...and other forms of yada yada...all before I decided to write...that habit produced a lot of something, but it was not at all valuable.
My new habit is to get up, meditate for about 12 minutes and then start writing...this works better for me...especially if I can at least do an outline for a new page and maybe write a paragraph or two...and then once the process is started, I can take a break, if I need to.
I can use the food and other diversions as little rewards from me to me to say "hey dude...thanks for creating some value for us."
I need to create more habits that remind me to live and act in accordance with the law of abundance.
Law of Abundance: Embrace the recession and build a new normal state for your investments
See how I didn't say much about money or the recession...if I did that I would not be following my own advice.I have money in the stock market...I have not lost anything yet. Sure, my holdings have lost value...but I have the same number of shares that I had before the big slump in the stock market.
Since I invest for the long term gain in good companies...I am buying more stocks when I have extra money...there are some real great companies on sale out there and the price is CHEAP!
I don't need that money NOW. It is for later when I am so rich I can just give it all away :-).
I know in a recession people are afraid of lossing everything...I'm not because I know the truth...there is nothing to lose that has any real value in this earth dream.
To me, being on earth is like being in the Matrix a little bit...if I know I'm in the Matrix...why should I care about getting and defending any stuff?
As long as I meet my basis needs (and my wife's...she works too)...we are good.
Sure, my value is down close to 50% of what it was some day in the past...but that was a mostly slow decline...and I never really had that money anyway...I had already given it to the companies for them to use...
...I'm sure the world will figure out how to do this "stable growth" thing so we don't have to deal with this bubble/recession thing over and over and over again.
Hey, it sounds like world economy has ego issues, just like me! :-0.is..the world economy not really aligned with the law of abundance.
Perhaps the way to an earth that is more aligned with the law of abundance is for each of us to work on our selves to live and act in accordance with the law of abundance.
