Live The Secret

I thought I had created the list I was thinking about on my laptop, but then I couldn’t find it.

I started a new list, and when I went to save, it said I already had a list by that name. (Knew it!) I saved the new list under a new name and found the old list.

Half of the things had come true!

I am excited about the new list, because I think The Secret isn’t really a “secret,” and not really even about the “law of attraction.” It’s the law of attention. Like a new vocabulary word, once you know it, you see and hear it everywhere. Declaring what you want your life to look like makes what you’re looking for that much easier, because your mind has already seen it. (I suppose they do explain this in the book/movie….)

I’m even more convinced I want to start on a vision board. Any tips on how to get started? Do you just find images that are “happy” and “serene?” Or do you put up very SPECIFIC images?

...that I think the energy you send out in the universe really does boomerang back to you somehow.

Worry breeds worry. Love breeds love.

I’m trying to be more centered. I’m trying to direct love and understanding back out into the universe after plenty of things that recently happened that just make me feel lost, confused, and wounded. I’m discovering there’s a lot more peace in my soul than there was once. Chaos used to follow me everywhere. I suppose chaos might still be trying to chase me down, but letting peace be my mantra has kept that to a minimum.

I think I want to create a vision board. I think it will help me focus on the things that really matter, and hopefully just represent my values in a concrete, visual way. And maybe it will be a pretty thing to spruce up my office. :)

I’ve started building a written list of “I am so happy and grateful now that…” and on my list I added that I am so happy that I dream about my mom. [Which I am, but it happens so rarely!] And last night, I did have a really long dream about her. Of course, I don’t remember any specifics today, but I remember in the dream I made the connection to The Secret – haha!

So, I’m feeling encouraged by my small little universe-alignments, and having faith again in living a fully positive life again. I don’t know when the pessimism got in the way, but it has to take a backseat now.

...I notice a theme: that I want something different for my life, but I’m scared to visualize what that is, and the more I perseverate about the fear, the less I actually get what I want.

And, so watching The Secret explained exactly that pattern, and I’m trying to let go and start small in my visualizations.

And this is where my tale gets exciting! Last week when I was running late to work, I imagined not being late to work and that all my street lights were green. I also imagined my boss bringing in donuts, since he does that from time to time.

Well, my street light plan hasn’t been working TOO well, but considerably better than before. And when I came into work this morning, there was a big box of donuts on the table! Yes!
