Home AGAIN- Part one of my visualization is complete!

It has been a while since I have writtin. I was sent to TX for some training and took a look at my blog that I had created when I was in Nebraska. Yes it has been Feb 2007 I started that Blog and now it is October of 2008 and I have two of my biggest goals accomplished.

1. To take my family to SeaWorld and not worry about the money.

2. To move my family back home to California ( this was a scary one because it involved my future of being in the miliary)

The move to California Happenned as soon as I convinced myself that we were going to get there no matter what it took.

And you know what? I knew in my heart that it was going to happen. Now here we are , I am still in the military and I brought my family back.

Now I had the realization that this does work.

So my advice to all of you is.....If you want something- you have to convince your heart that it will happen because if your heart doesn't believe its going to happen, then why would the universe?

I brought myself back to the online marketing area also. I figured since I had a new view on things that maybe if I wasnt so selfish I could help some people.

Can I convince my heart of this? We will see......

Talking with your kids does alot for your soul...

So today I was sitting at the dinner table and my son sat down and asked me what I was doing...and of course I was working on my online business and listening to some techniques that I found on You Tube for keeping my attitude and the positive energy on track. He was very confused so I started talking to him about the Law of attraction, and as I was going through the steps with him, it occurred to me that I wasn't following it like I should. What I was saying just wasnt what I was doing...
So I wanted to go through the steps one more time because in my mind this is really working for me....My business is finally showing me some profit and these are going my way for the reasons that they should...everything is falling into place, but not as fast as I want . So to re instruct my self here are the steps.

1. Ask the Universe what you want . ( in every thing that I have read- this can be your higher power being, in my case this would be God because he is what I believe to be greater than us, greater than everything)

2. Every morning start off with a feeling of gratitude and happiness. (* For me - this would be a hug from my girls because that is the greatest feeling in the world to me and it makes me truly grateful to God that I have them) This is something that I can visualize at anytime and at an instant can change my day around.

3. When in the state of gratefulness, Tell the Universe in present tense what you need with all your heart and know that you will get it. Never say I want or I will - Say I Am, like it is happening to you at this moment. Here I explained to my son that thoughts are actually energy and your thoughts can be measured. So if you are always a walking ball of negative energy, guess what? that is all going to be attracted to you and it will never go away "unless you want it to".
So I want to have a great night.....I say " I am having a great night" Not "I will have a great night"
Make sense?
4. Accept it. Which means that you can do these things, but if you tell yourself that most likely it will not happen- you are not accepting it. You need to KNOW that it will happen.

I had to write these out for myself because then it changes my focus. My son with all of his questions really straightened me out on this one:)

Creative Visualization?

I was talking to a friend of mine today and she brought up The Secret and Creative Visualization. She said that you should go to bed , count from 10 to 1 and think about what your end result should be or what you want it to be . Do this everynight and supposedly it works.
Right before that I was reacquainting myself with the DVD that I havent watched in a while. I noticed that I have been focusing a little more on the bad side of things, not intentionally though. You see, I have been pretty sick for over a month and you know that you are sick when you can't even yell at your kids.
One of the things that is hard to overcome is being sick. You can't help but dwell a little bit because of how lousy you feel. But I think I maybe kicking it because I started listening to personal development cd's that I get from my business. So take that with a grain of salt.

If you havent already, make sure you put yourself in a state of gratefulness. That always gets you through the day. For me, all I have to do is look at my little girl.

6 Months and its time to try this again

Using the Secret shouldn't be this hard.......so they say.

So it has been 6 months since I even tried using any of the tools that are suppose to help me. Because "life" got in the way.

Now in my life I am facing some decisions that have to be made. What better time to put "The Secret" into play like now?

So "for lent" I am re-dedicating myself to the secret. For two reasons

#1 Like I said , it has been six months since I have tried to use the tools, but I had looked at my visitors to this blog and I could not believe it was over 3000 hits. That means that it works or there is alot of people out there that have some kind of interest in it. Which means that I have to put to rest once and for all if this works.

#2 I started this, and I must finish it. If by the end of these season my goals are not met- then the answer to this blog will show.

I hope for everyones sake that this will work. No wait....It has worked:)

Off track for a while, but I'm back!Now I get it!

Yes, it has been a long time. For a while I had fallen into the pit of not having faith in anything that I do. But the secret doesnt allow that to happen, especially since I have had my faith reborn. I truly believe that it has everything to do with where you are with your faith in God and how you choose to live your life. If you take a look at that in that perspective, then "
The Secret" falls in nicely.

So how did I get this far down? In the military, you are broken down so you can be rebuilt. I truly believe that God allows this to happen in your life so that if you get past your trials, you have become and grown into someone else.

I use to be the person who would freak out about being late, or if I'm caught in traffic. My anxiety was ruling my life. The little things were taking me over.

I have come to realize that these things are not important. I have allowed myself to have peace because it is a gift from GOD.

Our duty to God is to thank him every morning for the life that you have, because in truth , it could be worse- could it not? The Secret teaches you to be thankful for the life that you have. That is the first step in using this powerful tool.

I know all about the Secret, I have read the books and all the posts of how ridiculous it is or how it is against God or the Bible. I have forced myself to use it- but it wasnt working for me in the long term, because I wasn't believing in it as I should. The problem was that I was looking out for myself, living for myself. yes I have goals based on my family issues, but it still focused on me, because if my family is happy, then I am happy.

I needed to stop living for myself.

I realize now that the world does not revolve around me. I live my life for my God now , which before was not the case.

In turn, not putting myself first has caused me to open my eyes and see things clearly.

I can use the secret, and it will come naturally.

I have been a work a holic!

Okay, I know what I want, I focus on it- but my ideas are just that right now- ideas. I come up with an idea and it seems lame and then I stop focusing on it.

The Secret to me was meant to be a sort of guide to living. If we want something enough, I mean, so bad that you can taste it, then you will do what it takes...right?

I have a faith that we will have a better life. I have no doubt. That is what keeps me going.
Now to make it manifest is a different situation all together.

If any one out there has any tips that could help me manifest at least the smallest of my goals. and yes, once again I did change it!!!

* To have a business that can give us over $1500 every month***

I figured that I would ultimatley start here because
#1 I know that I want a business
2# I know that we can stop living paycheck to paycheck on an extra 1500.
3# I know in my heart that it is very possible and attainable.

I mean if thousands a people can be making money online...why can't I?

Hit a Wall, Made it through!

I keep telling myself to think of a good place. I went to church today (actually it was bible study) and to tell you the truth the only reason that I went was because of a dream that I had. In my dream, basically , without getting into the ridiculous details, I wasn't ready to go and meet my fate. The reason? Because I needed to change my life, not only for me but for my family. My goals were really involved around myself and even though my family would be along for the ride when my initial goals were completed, I feel now that they were very selfish goals.
Now, this is where I have my conflicting feelings for "The Secret". I do love it and the idea of it, but ....does it go along with what my faith is? My faith has always told me that pray to God, and if its meant to be, it will be if it is in God's plan, which I also believe.
The Secret says that we are meant to enjoy life and to live to the fullest....My faith (which is just me believing) says not to worry about if you are rich or poor in this life, but to remain faithful to the word of God and follow the basic principals of the Bible.
Now , I really don't want this to become a religious argument, because I have looked this particular subject up on other blogs and forums and it all ends the same. The "religious one" and the "believer" end up yelling at each other through words and at times, they can be hateful.
I don't believe that the Secret is meant to step over any religious lines. What I do believe is that it is meant to EMPOWER others to take a real good look at themselves and maybe make a change here or there to switch around their present situation. By "making your wish" , it is actually making you focus on your initial goal. It in no way says that you need to just sit around and believe about it and it will come. With your goal in mind you also need action. If you do not "act" on the signs that are leading to your goal, then maybe you are not ready to use "The Secret".

So maybe I wasn't ready to use it. I made wishes that were against my nature, and even though it could help my family, it didn't really jive with me, so it was unbelievable.

So if I could give you anything that I have learned along this journey it is:

If you make a wish, and it seems unbelievable to you, then it will always be unbelievable. You can place those things out of your own reach. I suggest to start off small, make yourself believe that the secret can work for you and then work your way up, otherwise, it will not happen.

Sorry to be so out there, but I feel that we are too far in the game to be trying to be nice about things.

My bulletin board has been a continued help along my journey. When I was starting my business, I was bombarded with alot of ideas, I couldn't get them to jive together.

I had to take a couple of days away from my computer to clear my head and figure out what I needed to do.
My family needs me right now to keep going and so I will. I know that I need to have a clear picure of what I want. But I need to re-adjust all my goals. But what ever it is , I need to believe it in my heart and I need to do it quick.

Day 16,17,18

We are getting to the critical stages in my life, so it seems. Going to work everyday is really taking a toll on my emotional energy. Once again, I have stopped using the secret for a while, not because I didn't want to, but because sometimes life just gets in the way. I wake up, and instead of trying to focus on the good things in my life, I have to wake up to screaming children. I have two teenagers that cannot stand each other at this time and they are constantly yelling. Cheyanne has been going into these moods that will last all morning, and it seems unfixable sometimes. I had cleaned up my whole house for Tiana's Bday party ( which by the way was awesome, she's 5 now yaay!) but in a day the kids managed to turn it into a house of terror. Going to church on Sunday has been a blessing for my family for a while but Cheyanne's behavior in their has caused either my husband or myself to take her and leave early, sometimes not even hearing the Gospel.

Sometimes I feel as if it never ends. In the period when I didn't write is when I wasn't using the secret, and our finances fell. And when I'm talking about fell, I mean I don't want to write about it because it is an embarrassing subject for me.
So I made a re- commitment to myself to bring myself back into that mind frame. I'm watching the video tonight again and we will see how it goes. I know that I have to pull myself out of this or else according to the secret, I am just bringing more in.


I realize that I needed to add something to my goal list. I have been wanting a great bunch of girl friends for a while. My best friend left to Okinawa and she was my outlet. You always see on TV and the movies that when girls usually hang in packs. I have never had anything like that. I mean, I have never had a good group of friends that wouldn't talk about each other or stab each other in the back. I have my own problems, so I don't deal with that mess. But that is something that I do wish that I can have. I did put it on my visual board - yes it is still up there. The fact that I am made to look at it everyday pulled me back to writing in this blog. It is a great tool if you haven't made one for yourself yet.

Like I was saying, I cut out of picture of four women hanging out drinking margaritas and put it on my board. Hey, supposedly I can ask for anything remember?
