Interesting how I have been using the 7-Steps! I thought about it this morning that if things are a reflection of what I am telling myself, then what am I telling myself when I keep hearing people say, "Well, in this economy....", "Well, I don't know if we're going to make it or not."
I thought about it last night and then the thought reoccured to me this morning. Some people never experience one ounce of financial discomfort in their lives, others just a little and some a lot. The people that don't experience financial ruin, troubles, or discomforts don't go around talking about the economy, nor do they go around complaining about money stuff. At least the ones I've been exposed to. They are not surrounding themselves with people that are encouraging a dream of poverty. Now they may be reflecting something else in their life, like a lack of a relationship...but their relationship with money is solid but lacked balanced within their life with some other relationship. All things are relationships!!!!! All situations are relationships!!!!!
I feel that I am pretty happy within that area of my life but have said it could be better. So what I thought about is, if it is in my mind that is creating the market then I can change this market. I witnessed this with my daughter who was experiencing one financial situation after another until one day we processed "self worth". We had processed it before but remember deep seeded beliefs can attach themselves everywhere. Once we did this process with her her creativity increase, her income increased, her ability to communicate increase, everything increased in her life.
So I thought about processing what I am seeing, hearing and feeling out there in the world regarding "money". It could even come into my place of business! Either way it appears to me I will process it and then provide the results of said process through this blog. What better way to see the process in action? What better way to wake up?
Okay, so here is a situation: It makes me furious that small towns, such as the one I live in, actually appear to be preventing people from marketing and sharing their information, knowledge and wisdom. Remember what I'm seeing isn't truth, it's within my own subconscious mind and all the people around me have to support this idea or belief about myself. So with this said, everywhere, not just my little town, but everywhere I am hearing things such as, "Well I wouldn't open up a business like that.", "It's not going to work here", "How stupid is that?", and I love this one, "What are you thinking about opening up something like that during these times?" What time is it actually? All we have are our moments. If we sit and listen to all this crap we would never do anything, never experience anything, and live our lives in a bubble of protection. But from WHAT? What do we need protecting from?
With hearing this day in and day out I look around me and I say, okay why don't all the businesses close down then. The internet has just about ruined our places to shop by putting the little shops out of business. The internet is selling everything so cheap that no one even goes out to buy anything any more, and it goes on and on.
It appears as though we have become a "service" oriented country. What this means is you have to use your own ability such as you own time and energy to make money, hair dressers, massage therapist, accountants, taxes, cooks, etc, etc., LOL.... now that's funny isn't it. Think about how our thoughts have gotten us to this point in time. I'll let each person reflect on that for themselves. What is really the American Dream? "Being in work for themeselves". LOL...think about this.
For me I love multiple streams of income. I don't rely on one business or source to make all of my money for me because I love doing so many different things. Take for instance the tv host that does movies, talk shows, and writes books, it's not that he lacks but because he is abundant that he is able to do all of these things.
It's interesting to me that when you tell people I'm starting up a new business and they say, "Oh, no....is this one not working out for you?" Funny, right? I use my discernment that we spoke about in earlier post to decide whether this is for me or not, so I pay attention to how I'm feeling.
Since I am "feeling" something regarding what people are saying about our economy then I can process this. So I'm going to take a situation that I feel I'm pretty upset about regarding the economy. I'm going to take the situation that keeps coming up for me and my daughter because I'm sure she is reflecting something back to me as well through her own healing. The situation is going to be about small towns are closed off to new ideas. And how if you aren't a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend or relative you are not worth their time, money or energy.
Ego Statement: It is just stupid how everyone is discouraging and tries to do all they can not to support the local businesses or to increase the awareness of such within their own little communities. This makes me angry and sad. I just dont' get people and the way they think. I'm gaining frustration while losing focus, time, energy and money.
Okay, the above statement seems really strong, but remember this is about me, it's not really about the town at all. So before you look at it and say something condemning watch your words because now I'm reflecting something back to you.
Spirit statement: I am smart to encourage and do things to motivate local business and increase awareness within myself. I feel happy and loved because I get myself and the way I think while calm with focus, time, energy and abundance.
I can see by my spirit statement that I need to stay focused and calm while building up my time, energy and abundance. I can feel this statement is true for me. That when I accept myself, everyone can accept me. When I value my inner awareness that I feel happy and loved. This love isn't coming from "AnyONE" it's coming from within.
So the next time you feel that people are put out with "you" or that they appear "turned off by YOU" remember, it's something within yourself you are reflecting.
It's so easy for me to say to someone now who wants to project their crap on to me for me to say, "It's not me!" That's because this is always, always true. If you are getting a strange sense about someone then that is the time to take in a deep breath, see if it means something to you, check in with where your energy is and then use discernment. The best way to know is if it keeps repeating in your life. If you sense anger in the person, are you aggressive in your behavior or mannerism? If they appear tired, are you tired? If they appear scattered, then what are you scattered about? Remember, it's about repeated patterns, feelings and thoughts based on what you "think" you are seeing, feeling, hearing, and understanding.
Repeated situations are begging for healing!
Enjoy! I will let everyone know how this process works out tomorrow and we will continue with the "economy".
