Lesson 93: Big Dreamers

Spend a few minutes today and every day this week enjoying the prospect of Dreaming Big.
Allow yourself to have any fantasy about your future financial life that appeals to you, not spending any time strategizing about how you could actually achieve that reality.
Instead, allow your imagination to run wild, having a snowball effect on your dreams until they've expanded to a new level of delight.

This is challenging for me right now. I believe I have created some barrier for myself around dreaming as it is not natural anymore. It used to be.

My financial life: the experience that always comes to me is that it feels easy. My whole life, even now making more than I ever have, I feel a sense of struggle. It's like I create the struggle so that I can overcome it. In my dreams, though, it feels easy. Money is just there. I own a home that I love in a place I love. I am able to spend my days as I choose. There is some "work" but it is minimal and the feeling is like I've already done what needs to be done. Now it's just maintenance. Answer some emails, maybe make a call. Otherwise, I can walk the dog, read, cook, shop at the farmer's market, take a trip, whatever I want. And the money is there for me. Secure. Safe. There is also creativity in this picture. I feel like I'm able to be creative and choose what I like, but money is no longer the thing holding me back or what's on my mind.

Lesson 17: Open to Transform

Image
Spend a moment examining any areas of your life where you've experienced a persistent struggle. I would say these areas include finances and body/consistent healthfulness.  Before I go to the next prompt in my course, I would like to restate the assertion I fell into in my last blog: The places where I'm stuck are places where multiple, conflicting thoughts/beliefs are fighting for the same place in my head.  Have you truly been willing to change? Obviously, in the places I've been stuck, no. Or did you perhaps want to change the circumstances without doing the internal work first? Mmmmm...I think it's more like, the fear or whatever is keeping me stuck, is at least as strong as the desire to change.  How would you describe your own Willingness to Change when it comes towards receiving greater wealth into your life? I believe I am willing to change now. Hence, doing this course. Is your emphasis more on changing circumstances and situations, or are you trul...

Lesson 21: Check In WEEK 3

Image
I notice I am having some resistance to this week. One of the days I really enjoyed the questions. The rest of the week, I've had a bit of an internal eye roll that says something like "I love change. God, leave me alone!"  Well, it could be this stubborn insistence is part of what keeps me from changing the parts of my life that feel stuck. Let me try these questions in a fresh light... How do you resist change and how do you embrace it? When I look back over my life, I definitely have experienced and embraced change. But, there are areas that I stubbornly hold onto. One example is my evening routine, which is not particularly healthy, productive, or positive. It mostly consists of numbing activities. It's like a stake in the ground of my life that I've been thus far unwilling to pull up. Why? Well, it feel nurturing and nourishing on some level. It was my experience as a youth when my family would spend time together, so there are emotional connections ...

Let's get real

Alright, time to get real... I have been doing network marketing for one month now. When I write that, I get some movement in my abdomen. I have come to a place in the last few days where I am questioning moving forward with this company, etc, etc, etc. I recognize this for what it is: My Resistance. My resistance is quite brilliant. It has conjured many very reasonable excuses for not moving forward. One excuse, for example, is the ingredients in these products are sometimes not up to the standards that I have held in the past for products I use internally or topically. This seems like a very good excuse. A very good one, right? Is this in alignment with my beliefs? Do I agree with this? I have turned away other products for the exact same reasons in the past, and so on. I laid down in a moment of exhaustion (from my brain circling, and also from just having done some pranayama that moved energy that I'm now wrestling) and put my hands together in prayer and asked my...
