Manifestation does not only pertain to long-term or major goals but to daily ones as well. It’s more than wanting that special house or person in your life. It is about the little things that involve making decisions from day to day, moment by moment. Sure, continue to bump into the side of the table every time you walk passed it or actually change something so it doesn’t happen again. It could be as simple as walking around the table in another direction, turning or moving the table. If you can’t physically move it yourself, organize for someone to come over and move it for you. Have you considered getting rid of it or swapping it for another one? Use your creativity to find an answer.
“Where attention goes energy flows”, how true is that. Unhappiness can be compounded and it doesn’t take much to be negative, I know that from experience! Being positive on the other hand can take more effort, especially if we’ve had it tough in some way. It is definitely worth it though and it may take a bit of discipline on our part to get the ball rolling. I originally believed the power of positive thinking was a way of covering up the truth of how we really feel, e.g. “I don’t feel very happy, yet I must be positive or at least appear to be positive around others”. Yes this can be the case, but we can choose to be totally honest with ourselves and admit what the real situation is, why we want to change it or why we don’t want to change it – especially if we are getting hurt by it in some way.
There are plenty of addictions being met every moment to avoid the truth about how we actually feel: Are you truly having that beer because you enjoy it or are you escaping from the life you created? Are you constantly at the pub avoiding your wife and/or family? Are you working long hours and using the excuse that you need to finish something, need the money or enjoy your job? Why are you drawing in smoke to calm your nerves? Why do your nerves need calming in the first place?
We have all at one stage run from ourselves and the life we have created and used various excuses. We avoid, justify, minimize and deny the truth of our situation as not to feel the truth. We put on metaphoric blinkers to not see what truly is. We created this and it is up to us to change it. How is running ever going to fix the situation? And NO there is no magic pill – that’s another form of running away.
I realise not everyone is ready to process through their emotional baggage and most don’t even desire to do so and that is fine, but in my opinion it is the ultimate course of action. So until then, one could try to accept the current situation and then follow it with the desire to improve. Through the choice to make that change we take action.
One can continue to remain “feeling bad” or “unhappy” or one can choose to change. The magic word here is – DO! By applying creativity it ultimately changes the situation (for better or worse). By being creative we connect to something greater than ourselves through our actions. Our desire may bring forth the opportunity, but it is our actions that create the change. So if someone desires change for the better and then acts through their creativity thus resulting in a sense of “feeling better; this can be viewed a positive result. Then if the same principles are applied again, the outcome should be the same. If not there needs to be more creativity applied to achieve the desired objective.
Another secret is – BE. Some people call it “being”, “the now” or “being in the now”. It is all about being present. There’s a lot of daydreaming going on out there! Another one is robot mode and that is purely going through the motions. As we are the physical aspect of ourselves on this planet, we are only ever real right now; everything else is either the past or the future. We are living now; we are to be here now. We compromise our future by not consciously being HERE. We can’t get to there unless we here. It is from here that we can move forward to the future consciously, with or without the aid of the past. So a great place to start is the desire is to be here right now!
The condensed version:
How do I feel in my current situation? *
Do I desire to change my current situation?
Do I choose to change my current situation?
How can I improve my current situation creatively? #
I now act creatively.
I now see/feel the results of my creativity.
# Not happy with the result – return to the creative step
* Happy with the result but desire more – return to the first step
Before I finish I would like to cover intention. Manifesting is not always positive and as we are all interconnected, what one person does will affect everyone else. Be careful what you wish for! – Sound familiar? We can either create or destroy. We are all responsible for the ripples we send out into existence, it is our choice whether our actions are to benefit or to harm.
