December 13, 2009:  Creating on Purpose of by Default

 We are all creating our lives all of the time.  There as a wonderful book and a movie with the same title, “What the Ble@P Do We Know?”  The authors explain how this is scientifically so and I can’t recommend them enough.

 The crucial point here is to become aware of our thoughts and feelings so that we can consciously create rather than create by default.

 Creating by default is what most of us do when we wake up in the morning and just run from one thing to the next and at the end of the day wonder what we have accomplished and wonder sometimes if this is all there is.  Creating by default is getting what you’ve got but not knowing how you got it.  Luck?  Hard work?  It’s more than that.  It’s your expectations and beliefs about what you will get.

Your beliefs about who you are, what you deserve or don’t deserve, what you want and what you focus upon drive outcomes.  It was really interesting working with women who were involved in the criminal justice system.  I asked them what they did not like about their present lives.  Most of them talked about having probation officers, having no money, not being with their children, dealing with addiction.

 When we began with each not wanted thing and asking them how it is currently serving them in some way and what negative beliefs they have about themselves that support their current circumstances, it is often an extremely revealing experience for them.

 It is very empowering to know you have control over your life in ways you never dreamed of.  It truly provides hope for an exciting future and ways to attain your heart’s desire.

 To help me more consciously create I think about my intentions for the day every morning and write them down.  Like I want an uplifting meeting or I want to allow my feelings without judgment, or I want to appreciate what I’m experiencing and look for positive things to focus upon, or I want something fun to happen.  I think about each thing and write it down and then think about why I want it.  Thinking about the why’s adds the creative “punch” to the thought energy.

Doing this has changed my life.  During the day I continue to do intentions.  Abraham (www.abraham-hicks.com) calls this segment intending.  I get in my car or on my motor cycle and ask for safety, I ask for parking spaces.  Asking for parking spaces is fun and produces tangible results.  Of course the key is that you must believe that the parking space you envision will absolutely be there and remember it takes 17 seconds to create a potent thought.

 At night I look again at my day’s intentions and journal about what I appreciated during the day and what I would like during the night like a good nights sleep and sexy dreams, or whatever and how I want to begin the next day.

 Becoming a conscious creator takes knowing your intentions and becoming aware of what you are focusing upon.  I decided years ago that TV news and even the newspapers were far too negative to give my attention to.  I love an interview with Bette Midler that was done years ago.  She said she never watched news on television because every time she did she had to go lie down!

 Focus on what feels good to you!

 With love, Connie
