The new year is approaching, and many of us are already talking about what we want to change in 2014. I, for one, will be very happy to put 2013 behind me. That being said, I won't be waiting til the ball drops to do this. I started weeks ago during the new moon. I, along with most I know, are desperate for change. We want more peace, more joy, and a stress free life. How amazing would it be to wake each morning with the sense of peace and joy rather than a list of "have to's"?
For me, an utter control freak, I am always having to remind myself to just let things be. This doesn't mean giving up, or giving into that which I do not want. It means accepting that this is the situation at present, and though it may be stressful, unhappy, or even upsetting, I remind myself it's only temporary and I can only do what I can do. But forcing what I want, or how I want things to be is not going to make them so. There is a fine line between fixing what we can fix, and mucking it up even more.
Many times, we try to get out of unpleasant and uncomfortable situations by focusing TOO MUCH on them. It's during the times of stress and chaos where we should be still and not do too much. When hit with these moments our fear may kick in, emotions run high, and we don't think clearly. You see this, especially, during a break up, the holiday season, tax time, and after being fired from a job. Fear overrides logic and it's difficult to figure out what is reality and what is an illusion. Stepping back and giving emotions time to decrease, get calm, and assess the situation, allows you the opportunity to hear the messages coming in from your higher power, you can follow that whisper and find your way out. But, when you give into that nagging doubt and/or fear, you are surely going to make it worse.
Panic, fear, doubt, stress, all those negative emotions make us react not act. We are reacting to the circumstance and not finding a solution. Taking action is positive, but reacting is just trouble waiting to happen.
I am not telling you to sit idle and accept all the things in your life that are not working because you can't find a solution. What I am advising is that you be still and listen for the whisper from the Universe that will lead you out of the darkness and give you definite insight, clarity and solution. If you just release your fear, and give it a moment, an answer always, without fail, comes. How many times have you had a few hours of insane panic over something, clawed desperately trying to get out of the pit of despair, fallen constantly, and caused more stress and chaos, not to mention, drama, in your life...only to make things worse in an effort to avoid and/or stop feeling what you're feeling, then throw your hands up, throw yourself on your bed, and cry yourself to sleep, only to wake in the morning filled with regret and remorse, and find if you had just left it alone it would've worked itself out, or it wasn't as bad as you had thought in the first place.
We all want to change the things that are not working, and we all want the dream we have in our minds of utopia. It's easy to achieve, it really is, but there are steps in how to do that. Many think if they had more money they would feel less pressure and more peace, and they focus on the money. What should be focused on is the peace. Because that is truly what you're wanting, you are just looking at the source in which would bring that peace. If you focus on the outcome then the other stuff will arrive and bring about the outcome.
If you are wanting a partner in life, look at why you want that. You want companionship, affection, attention, love, sex, whatever it is...then focus on how those things make you feel, feel it in each moment before it arrives, because it's not the lover you're desiring but rather the feeling associated with it. Focusing on the "end result" leads to the finish product.
I tell many not to focus on the how, where, what, when...but rather focus on the why. When you focus on the reason why you want something you will find that it's never the "what" that you're wanting, it's the feeling and peace behind it. Then, most definitely THEN, you will receive it rather quickly and smoothly, with little of no effort at all.
When outlining your news resolutions, focus on that "why" aspect. You want to quit smoking because you want good health...well good health requires more than a toxic free lungs, it requires energy, good eating habits, rest, stress free existence. You want to bring in a healthy relationship. Focus on how that feels, how calming it is, how supportive and don't settle for the guy who's causing you everything but peace. You want a better job, more money, less debt, then don't focus on all those things, instead focus on the emotions that come when bills are paid in full, and you can see your savings account building.
Focusing on the "why" will bring you the "what" and the Universe, if you allow it, will figure out the "how, when, where". So many people, when they receive a reading and it's a positive reading, say, "I don't see how that is going to happen...." It happens unexpectedly. You take a left turn when you normally would've taken a right, and find the universe led you there to what it is you wanted. We don't control fate, or destiny, but we can call it into existence much quicker if you stop seeking it, and start seeing it.
What I mean by seeking and seeing is that when you SEEK something, the universe hears that, and will forever leave you in animated suspension of your goal. You'll find yourself constantly searching, looking, SEEKING....and missing all the opportunities in front of you. When you start to SEE you find that there are clues, like bread crumbs to follow, leading you to the gingerbread house of your dreams. You will see those clues, your eyes will seek them out, your heart will hear them, and you will SEE those opportunities and seize those moments. The path is much easier than stumbling through the rocks and pits that we create for ourselves.
For the new year, adopt the new vision I've outlined above. Put it to the test. Hell, put it to the test today, give it a mere week. Release all those things you've conditioned yourself to believe about obtaining the dream, and just give this practice ONE WEEK...and watch what happens.
If all else fails feel free to contact me for a 2014 forecast where I can outline what your obstacles are, what needs to change within you (not from others), what is circling you, what is needed, to obtain the dream you seek.
May you all have a wonderful and blessed holiday and prosperous, and abundant new year!!!
Blessings, MsLisaM
