Meditation, Manifesting, Gratitude & The Law of Attraction

[CMF]

Hi everyone,

Not sure where to start so hope I can express myself clearly and maybe with others' input we can expand on this. I'm interested in people's thoughts/ experience with meditation, manifesting, gratitude & the law of attraction. I've recently started using the Smiling Mind app to meditate when going to sleep and sometimes when feeling a little anxious, like tonight. It is something i thought i could never do as my mind rarely stops, however, with persistence, I find I enjoy it. I guess i tend to have a negative mindset which I am determined to change.I always felt uneasy about thinking positive things as i thought i would jinx myself, and that whenever I made a positive comment or felt happy it would go wrong or something negative would happen. So i refrained from allowing myself to be too happy, I guess to 'protect' myself. Recently i have been feeling happier, stronger, expressing gratitude and taking note of when things have come to me when i needed them. Coincidence, or answers to what i put out to the Universe? I like to think the latter. A work colleague one day told me to manifest something i wanted, put it out to the universe , so I'm trying. Example, recently we needed to measure the floor space at reception so we could calculate how many people we could have in at one time. I needed a tape measure, which i did not have. At that moment our handyman walked into the office. Guess what he had? I am getting into the habit of practising positive thinking instead of thinking/expecting negatives. If something 'negative' does crop up, it can be dealt with, it's not the end of the world. I look for the positive in every negative situation. I am becoming more aware of being grateful for little things, things like getting a good car park at work, a warn cosy bed, a tidy house. I feel when i am expressing gratitude I am putting positive thoughts out into the universe and I notice more positives instead of focusing on negatives. Late last week we had internet issues at work and a colleague i found a little annoying. I've been feeling very drained, agitated, negative for a few days. This morning things were not running smoothly for me. A result of my negative mind perhaps? Little things became a big deal, my morning was crap. If i look back, it wasn't really an issue, i just did things in a different order which gave me more relax time this evening. The Law of Attraction, positive thoughts, positive experiences.

What are your thoughts?

Isn’t the secret about wishing and hoping.

Statistically everyone who focuses on getting something won’t get it so how do you explain those that follow all the guidelines and don’t get what they wanted.

Just wondering. I am pleased this works for people.

lol Hi quirky!

I'm not sure where those stats come from but I could guarantee that if we don't have goals and work towards them, then there's next to no chance of getting what we want, like EVER.

The Secret isn't all about "wishing and hoping"... it's actually about raising our vibrations!

Also about achieving our dreams.

I know myself in my long and sometimes arduous life lol... that when someone has high vibrations I just love being in their company.

When I have higher vibrations, I'm more motivated to do what I need and want to do... this invariably gets me exactly what I want. Alot more in fact.

So The Secret is about how to get those higher vibrations.

Dr Joe Dispenza's life and work including stats are pretty awesome to know about!

Cheeses Quirky, if I was in line with the stats and the "trajectories" given by research from my childhood experiences, then woah, I'd have NOTHING. Those trajectories were horrible!

Same with results from Courts recently.

Gosh come to think of it, same with health prognoses... I'm still mobile, still working, still climbing trees and building my house and soon my cabin lol and I'm not supposed to be!

Even my healthy children are here today because I ignored "the stats" and they are not what the stats predicted AT ALL.

I guess I'm a non-conformist! I wouldn't be any other way.

Onwards and upwards quirky!

Hi CMF and gratitude peeps!

How's everyone going?

I've had some major curve balls thrown since last posting here, such is life at times.

I'm changing around bedrooms, slowly slowly lol... and found my Dream Folder lol.

Focussing on my career, creating more happiness at work (yeah seems like an oxymoron to many lol) has been an interesting journey.

It follows on from what Brene Brown and many others say about our working lives... things to the effect of "I've never met a person who feels fulfilled / happy in life and hates their job".

I am NOT saying change jobs! lol.

I watched a Ted Talk tonight on it and it was REALLY cool! The guy spoke of a thing I've never heard of before.... he said about happiness, something like 10% is about your surrounds / situation and 90% is what's inside of us.

OMG WOW.

The pieces are coming together with researchers in a far more powerful way re: Wellbeing.

All in all things are becoming more and more positive in my workplace because I AM.
It's more than my outlook, people are responding in a more trusting way with me because I am being "consistently and persistently myself". My Counsellor's advice for all damaged relationships with those I wanted to heal.

I'm also venturing into a period of physical healing. Many medical things coming up.

Dr Joe is much needed in my mind! lol.

I hope everyone is finding moments of JOY in every day.
Time for SELF-CARE many times a day.

And fulfilment of dreams, as always.

Love EM

OMG...careful what you wish for 🙂

This week some staff are allowed back to work in offices. Our office is quite large so only 10 people allowed and they need to create a 'bubble'. As there are 4 of us at reception ie 2 each day, only 2 could go back for 1/2 day shifts, 5 days a week so only 1 person working at reception each day. We all offered to do it but 2 of the others are doing it. I was quite deflated as i hoped to go back but alas I must continue to work from home. There is not much i can do from home as a receptionist however it did work out for me as little mis finishes school next week so it means i don't have to find care fort here for 5 days of the week. I have been doing admin work but Monday i was so down and out. I felt lost, useless, like I didn't even want to go back...the cloud before the sunshine. On Tuesday a colleague from one department asked for help as her counterpart was away sick for the week. i have done some work for that dept in the past so i have been busy helping her. I then found out her counterpart had resigned as she was new in the role and did not like it. I toyed withe idea of putting hand up for the job but was worried the finish time would be too late everyday as i need to pick up little mis by 6pm. It is full time, very busy and would mean I don't have to work with the girl at reception who comes in to do her personal stuff (we did have a fall out over it). I always see recurring numbers and read that if you see 111 or 11.11 you should pray for what you want. I have been seeing the numbers and praying for happiness and career direction. Well, yesterday the boss called me and offered me the position! We need to have a meeting and I expressed my concern over the finish time but he said they would work around it for me. Hopefully I can finish even 15 mins earlier, just to take some pressure off. So, it looks like I may have a full time job next year. The girl who resigned will then take my spot at reception plus do s,me other work. If it all works out i will be learning something new, upskilling, challenging myself and earning more. My 'vision board' on my phone has a pic of how much I'd like to earn. I may not get that much but am getting closer to it.

Fingers crossed it all works out!

CMF

congratulations I hope the new job works out.

I like the way your work is willing to be flexible.

[ecomama]

OH WOW CMF that's incredible! lol.

Look at how many little pieces had to move before the BIG piece could fit in there.

I'm so happy for you!

You are going to be BUSY all right lol!

When do you start?

Sounds like you'll have more opportunity to "go up the ladder" in this new role, is this correct?

Praying for all good things to happen for you and for your financial goal to be reached!

Funny thing happened in my work. I put out there that I wanted a 6 figure income LOL! Just because the Law of Attraction said just put it out there. Frankly I thought it was ridiculous but hey even that felt good laughing about it. Then I got all bogged down in thinking omg I'll have to do this then this then this and got stressed.

So I left it and kept laughing about it. Went on my merry way just enjoying my work and working hard at reconnecting the synapses after trauma to remember everything.

Then it happened.
Just happened.

I got a tremendous raise.

So I went back to 3 days this year for family and PTSD reasons but next year it'll be nice.

HIGH FIVE!

Well, in my new role I finish at 5pm. It's wonderful.
Today I found out my new salary. It is exactly what I had on my vision board. I was not expecting that much.

[ecomama]

Awesome CMF!

I'm very happy for you!

Nice timing too hahaha.

EMxxxx

[smallwolf]

Really good to hear CMF. You deserve it! Congrats.

[ecomama]

It's very exciting news for you CMF, a real professional ADVENTURE!

We're all happy for you I'm sure!

So WHAT is everyone "manifesting" ?

A manifesting thing happened to my eldest D.
Her car broke completely down ie wreckers result ugh.

She kept visualising the cars she REALLY wanted (omg exxy!) but only had half that money so was looking at others far less expensive.

Then in the same week she got an email saying she got a substantial pay rise, which is AWESOME.
Then the most incredible news.... she had to BACK DATE that pay rise for 5 WHOLE months!

So now, incredibly, like we're really gobsmacked, she actually CAN afford the car she wants.
Blow me out of the water lol.

Anyhow I held off applying for the Superannuation draw down in the first offer, even though my pay took a 50% hit, but that was my own choice to do.

Then last week I bit the bullet and applied for the 2nd Super offer.
They approved me yesterday and the relief is tangible.

Almost ALL the money is already assigned lol, but what a financial relief right at the right time.

When the money comes through I can get new tyres which I need.
Save for Rego etc.
Pay for youngest Ds MH needs.
My teeth ugh... stitches in my mouth as we "speak" lol.

Loan some to my son who's car ALSO broke down, wrecker style but we're doing the metal recyclers for both.

I also had 2 weird things happen whilst I was forgetting to VISUALISE and panicking inside about little money... 2 pays in a row were far higher.... I think they didn't pay me correctly and had to bump up my pay.

Time to get my Dream Folder out and update it.... in a fanciful manner lol.
A Wedding in Hawaii perhaps...
LOTS of self-care!
My fiancee and I have settled on Engagement Rings, so that's a sweet thing.

What's happening in your worlds?
