I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to participate in this 30 day adventure by making the effort to be aware of how you are feeling and consciously reaching for better feeling thoughts each day.
Congratulations on doing the most important thing in the world for yourself which is caring about how you feel! I hope you are feeling lighter on a bunch of different topics than you were 30 days ago and that your life is becoming more and more fun for you.
Life is supposed to be fun and creation is meant to be easy. If life seems like it’s too hard it’s only because you were trained away from knowing that your emotions are your internal guidance system. So now, all it takes to live life mostly in alignment is becoming more aware of your emotions and conscious of what they are telling you. Just remember… when you are feeling anything less than good, the thoughts you are thinking are not in alignment with the life you desire.
Any decisions you make or actions you take while you are feeling bad, will not bring you the outcome that you desire. So when you notice that you are feeling bad (worried, stressed, upset, jealous, angry, etc) the first and only thing you need to do, is find a way to feel better. Whatever works for you… whether it’s working your way up the emotional scale or distracting yourself with something that brings you joy, remember that nothing is more important than that you feel good.
I will be starting another 30 day adventure with a bit of a different focus in a few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for an email about how you can participate in that one and in the meantime… keep up the fantastic work.
You are so amazing! I am honored to know you and am soooo excited for the blissful life that awaits you!
With tons of love and appreciation for you,

Day 29... Do Your Dreams Feel Like the Next Logical Step?
How attainable do your dreams feel? Do they feel close? Like the next logical step? When a goal is so big that it feels impossible or unlikely it means you need to do some emotional work to align your thoughts and beliefs with what you want. When you’re feeling that way (like your dream is WAY bigger than where you currently are) you are not vibrating anywhere near the frequency of your desire.
It’s very similar to the “work” we’ve been doing during this 30 day adventure but our focus has been on feeling better about things that are bothering us while this aligning with your dreams “work” is about bringing yourself up to speed with how your dream life feels and expecting your dreams to come true… hmmm… maybe that is another 30 day adventure? Let me know if you’re interested in that one.
We need to believe our dreams are possible before they can manifest. That’s where I find the law of attraction so helpful… because if you really believe that you can be, do and have anything that you desire as soon as you become a vibrational match to it, you’re headed in the right direction. The other really great thing is, when you do the emotional work to get yourself feeling better and as Abraham says get into your vortex by feeling great, you can see the path to where you’re going more clearly. Maybe not all at once but you can feel the next inspired action to take when you are in alignment with who you really are.
When you are in alignment, everything makes sense. When you are in alignment, no matter what’s going on in your experience, you find it humorous, you feel balanced and appreciative of everything. When you’re not in alignment no matter how small the contrast is, it gets way more of your attention than it deserves. Nothing is more important than feeling good and being in alignment because that is where everything that you want is and the path to have it is clear to you from that view point.
You are the one in control of your life… not through action but through the power of your thoughts and feelings. All you have to do is continue to feel good. And when you notice you aren’t feeling good, stop and congratulate yourself on your awareness and do whatever it takes to feel better right away because action taken when you are out of the vortex will not bring you closer to what you want.
So keep up the great work… you are well along the way to everything that you desire.

Day 27... From Irritation to Love
This morning I had an interesting experience of expansion that because of this 30 day adventure I was able to turn around within about 20 minutes. Here's what happened and how I made myself feel better.
Okay so what is the situation that is bothering me? I am irritated that I let myself move from a feeling of excitement and inspiration about my business this morning to resistance, stubbornness and anger. I am irritated that my husband just took me out of the vortex by pushing his beliefs onto me and what I’m doing. I frustrated that he doesn’t mind his own business and let me flow with what I want to do. I'm irritated that I let that situation upset me so much. I’m irritated that he knows I have a lot to do and is pushing me to do more. I’m frustrated with myself about how slow the creation of my business is moving. I’m irritated with myself about not accomplishing more of what I want to do.
How do I want to feel on this topic? I want to appreciate my husband’s offer for help and see the value in his efforts to help me. I want to allow my abundance to flow in response to this contrast. I want to be in alignment again.
I hate it when people offer help or advice that I am not asking for. Hmmm… seems like a trend that is still happening which means I’m probably doing the exact same thing to others. I know Karl was just trying to help me. He cares for me and wants to help get me going towards all of things I’m excited about. It does irritate me though that he kept pushing the topic even when I gave in… he was being as stubborn as I was. Okay not helpful... he’s not inside my head so he doesn’t really know my expectations on this topic. He really does just want to help me.
He may have been thinking that I was planning to procrastinate on finding a web designer for months when I have the feeling that I’m going to attract one very soon who is the perfect person to help me with playfulliving.com. Someone who understands the law of attraction and wants to help create of one of the best interactive, online communities available that will assist thousands of people in creating the life of their dreams. Karl wants to be a part of that too and he believes that the sooner I throw something up the better… that actually does make sense to me.
I do want his help. I just had some resistance to his pushing and my old habit of being stubborn popped up. I’m glad I can recognize that so quickly now. I’m catching things more quickly all the time these days. I am excited about getting PlayfulLiving.com fully functional and attracting a brilliant, wonderful designer / programmer to help me make it phenomenal. I love that Karl understands my vision for this business and I love that he wants to help me. I love that he can help me get the site more functional than it is and that he is offering his services for free :)
Actually now that I’m feeling better I can see the value of our exchange more clearly and I feel appreciation for the expansion. Now I expect my business to pick up momentum and start coming into form more quickly. I am so excited to help thousands of people to find their own alignment and get clear on their dreams. I’m excited to continue to come into alignment more and more myself. Life is really good. Everything is happening perfectly. If I didn’t get frustrated about what I don’t want, I wouldn’t know what I do want as clearly as I do… and my dreams are becoming more clear all the time.
Thank you Karl… I’m excited to have my navigation bar fully functional so I can offer more tools to assist others. You are the best… I love you :)

Day 25 - Don't Worry... Be Happy
Here is some advice that I am offering a young lady who's not familiar with the law of attraction. I'm sharing it because I think it's a good reminder for us all :)
Day 23… Making Peace with Where I am
This morning I woke up feeling a little panicked for no good reason. I have missed a few meditations this past week with my schedule being thrown off having visitors and I can definitely feel the effects of it. I found myself thinking thoughts like I am behind with my work and I feel bloated and unhealthy and how am I going to accomplish all of my tasks with the kids here for the next month… etc etc etc.
I have heard it many many times lately that in order to allow more energy to flow through you, you need to make peace with where you are. Those thoughts that were swimming around in my mind this morning are some old stories that are not serving me… so I am going to ramble generally with the intention of soothing my angst and making peace with where I am.
I am where I am… and it’s not really a bad place. In fact, if I think logically, I am in a very good place. I have everything I need at my finger tips… I live in a beautiful home, I have a beautiful family who loves me, a wonderful husband, lots of really amazing friends. I have the option of working from home and living by my own schedule and am working on creating my dream business. I have access to all of the technology that I could ask for and understand how to use it mostly… I also have access to some of the smartest people around both philosophically and economically and I know that I don’t need anyone else to get the answer to any questions I have… I have access to infinite intelligence any time I want it… all I have to do is calm myself down, jump into the vortex and listen for the answer.
I’m feeling better already. There’s no reason to panic over anything… I have all the time there is to get everything I need done. I just need to tell a new story… so here it is around my schedule for the next month. I am spending the majority of my days in vibrational alignment with the things that I want… it’s getting easier and easier to feel good on purpose. I love having my niece and nephew here. They are the sweetest kids and I am learning a lot from spending time with them. They are so loving and ready to laugh and any given moment… they are quick witted and so appreciative of the time we spend together. They get along famously with one another for being brother and sister and they’ve found ways to occupy themselves each day. They’ve met some friends in the neighborhood and spend lots of time outdoors on their bikes, skateboards and hanging at the beach.
They are so helpful around the house and are happy with whatever activities we do together in the evening. Disneyland is our favorite destination and we got multiple day park hopper passes for a fantastic deal! I am loving my increased creativity showing up in my writing and work projects. My meditations are wonderful and I am completing everything I want so efficiently and am really enjoying the flow of it all. I’m finding money in unexpected places and from unexpected sources… enough to do all of the fun activities we want. Life is really really good and getting more playful all of the time.
Do you care to share your new story?

Day 21... Finding the Silver Lining
Lately I have been attracting people who (with well meaning intentions) offer their unsolicited advice rather forcefully.
Since moving away from my home city 3 years ago, I haven't experienced much of that. I’m not used to that approach anymore and it kind of catches me off guard when it happens.
So far, I haven’t dealt with it really well. I mean, I didn’t lose my cool or anything :) But I did take offense to it internally and let it bother me for a couple of days in each case.
It occurred to me last night that I can feel appreciation for these experiences for the expansion they helped me to have. The expansion came from my desire to handle myself better in those kinds of situations. Also to attract different behavior from the people around me so that they don't feel the need to offer their advice without me asking.
Once I had that realization, I felt much better. I don’t have to be offended by anyone doing anything and I don’t have to take anyone's advice. I could listen to their ideas and take what I like and leave what I don't... and genuinely thank them for their help.
I'm not sure why I used to get upset when people were pushy or overbearing. It may have been because I thought I had to take their advice... or that I was annoyed that they thought they knew better for me than I do. Whatever the reason was, it doesn't exist anymore. I can now be conscious of it as it occurs and just know that no matter what they suggest, I can just smile and say thank you and do as I please regardless of what they think.
Is there anyone in your life that causes you to take offense and feel bad? Have you found this vibrational cleanup helpful in changing the relationship?

Day 17... What Role Do You Play?
It is so interesting to me how we all approach situations and scenarios differently. What works for one of us... may not work for others. And we all give advice from our own opinions of how things should be. We all think we are right... that our way is the only way. Well that is partly true... we are all right in our own way :) It’s just that there is no one right way… everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions about their life.
That is one of my favorite things about the law of attraction. No judgment of good or bad, right or wrong... just cause and effect. What makes things right or wrong is the judgment that we place on them. The way we approach situations causes us to attract vibrationally matching effects. No good... no bad... just things and scenarios that match the vibration of what we are offering.
So cool to know!
In my new environment with the kids, I find myself playing the role of referee between brother and sister. This morning it occurred to me that I don't need to do that. That’s an old pattern of the peacemaker in me that wants to make sure everyone is being treated fairly. That pattern was created a very long time ago and now I understand that everyone is treated fairly. That you are always treated in a way that is a vibrational equivalent to how you are feeling.
For example, if the role you are playing makes you feel like a victim then you will always attract people who will treat you like a victim. Or in my case, if the role I play is that of a peacemaker, I will continually attract situations in which there needs to be peace made. If the role you play is a problem solver, then you will continually attract problems to solve. Or if your role is one of an appreciator, then you will attract and find more things to appreciate.
So I can focus on what I want (a peaceful, fun environment) because focusing on the problem does not serve me, it just prolongs it and attracts more arguing to me. From now on, I plan on letting the kids sort out their sibling relationship on their own. Sounds kind of simple I know... but I don't think I've ever considered leaving judgment and fair play out of the dynamics.
Another layer being peeled away... I love it!
Remember… everyone is entitled to their own version of life... so my question to you is: are there any relationships in your life that could benefit from you removing your judgment from it?

Day 16... Are you a vibrational match?
Do you remember the point behind this 30 day adventure? It's easy to get caught up in the daily living of life and forget the power that we have to create it the way we want it!
We are source energy beings... physical manifestations of source energy and we are all connected to everything in the universe.
That means, we have access to anything and everything in the universe. If you can dream it, you can achieve it and because everything is energy... the way we bridge the gap to what we want is through focusing our thoughts on things that cause us to feel good.
The desire behind everything that we want is to feel good. We want things because we think when we have them, we will feel better. Feeling better means that we are vibrating at a higher rate. The things we want are also vibrating at that higher rate... and until we are a vibrational match to the things we want, they cannot come into our lives.
So the powerful knowledge that we now have is that we can choose to feel happier no matter what the situation is that we are in. You can choose to focus on the hopelessness of it or you can choose to be so excited about what is on its way that you can hardly wipe the big smile off of your face. It's really up to you.
No one else in the world can make you happy. You are the creator of your experience and you have the power to see what you want to see in every moment of the day. You can choose to see the stressful part of your financial situation or you could find appreciation for the HUGE escrow of money just waiting for you to align with it. It won't come to you... you have to raise your vibration so that you can be attracted to it.
It's much easier than we make it out to be. It just takes a bit of deliberate focus and desire to become the masters of our universe. The only reason we're not quite there yet is our doubt in the process. This knowledge is new to us and we just need a bit of practice. It can happen today if we let it... but we have to let go of the limiting beliefs we have and relax into knowing that all is well and we are loved by our inner beings no matter what.
So... it all comes down to trusting in the laws of the universe. If we knew what was waiting for us in our vibrational escrows and really trusted that it was there... we would be so excited and full of anticipation that nothing could get us down. We've got to be excited about what's coming... not frustrated that it hasn't come yet.
I am making a point of finding appreciation for my increased awareness of what's bothering me because it means that as I deliberately choose better feeling thoughts... my vibration raises more each time it comes up... which means I'm getting closer and closer to being a vibrational match with all of the things I want. And feeling better NOW... which is the point :)
So are you mostly excited? Or focusing on the "reality" of what is?

Day 14 - Doubt to Hopefulness
I am so excited! My 12 year old niece and 13 year old nephew are arriving today to stay with us for 5 weeks or so. I am really looking forward to it but I have to tell you that the anticipation of their visit has kicked up a lot of financial concerns for me this past week!
My unconscious mind immediately goes to worry about how we're going to afford everything they want to do and that everything will all of a sudden double the cost, etc. These thoughts are
obviously limiting and not in alignment with the experiences I want us to have so here is some of the rambling I did to help myself come more into alignment with how I want to feel.
The situation - I am worried about affording the cost of my niece and nephew who are coming to stay with us for 5 weeks. I want to be able to do all kinds of fun stuff with them... take them to Disneyland, the zoo, surfing, wake boarding, etc not to mention some lunches and dinners out but I am worried about the expensive ticket prices, fuel & parking costs of the excursions and doubling the cost of groceries, etc.
What do I want? I want to connect with my niece and nephew and have lots of fun with them. I want to go on lots of fun adventures and not worry about the cost. I want to feel abundant and free to do whatever our hearts desire :)
My effort to soothe myself...
Well at least the beach is free to go to. We could do that everyday and they would probably be happy. We don't have to dine out very much. We could have fun dinner parties at home. There are some free things to do in San Diego. My friend Gail told me about free Tuesdays at the museums in Balboa park... and my friend Ron gave me 4 free passes for the fair. The universe does work in mysterious ways. Maybe we could get other tickets for free too. Maybe we will win some free dinners. Maybe some enexpected money will show up from somewhere.
I'm pretty good at finding deals on the internet. I'm actually quite lucky. As I stay in alignment and feeling good, my inner being will guide me to the right place at the right time to get the best deals. I always find a way to pay for the things that I really want to do. Maybe I can make a game of setting intentions each day with them. We can brainstorm the things we want to do and how fun they will be and see what we can manifest every day.
This will be fun... I will enjoy showing Jonathan and Jessica how the law of attraction works, how the possibilities are endless when you focus on the things that you want while feeling good and not offering any contradictory thoughts.
I'm really looking forward to seeing them. I can't wait to see their smiling faces and see how much they've grown over the last 6 months. We're going to have a lot of fun together.

obviously limiting and not in alignment with the experiences I want us to have so here is some of the rambling I did to help myself come more into alignment with how I want to feel.
The situation - I am worried about affording the cost of my niece and nephew who are coming to stay with us for 5 weeks. I want to be able to do all kinds of fun stuff with them... take them to Disneyland, the zoo, surfing, wake boarding, etc not to mention some lunches and dinners out but I am worried about the expensive ticket prices, fuel & parking costs of the excursions and doubling the cost of groceries, etc.
What do I want? I want to connect with my niece and nephew and have lots of fun with them. I want to go on lots of fun adventures and not worry about the cost. I want to feel abundant and free to do whatever our hearts desire :)
My effort to soothe myself...
Well at least the beach is free to go to. We could do that everyday and they would probably be happy. We don't have to dine out very much. We could have fun dinner parties at home. There are some free things to do in San Diego. My friend Gail told me about free Tuesdays at the museums in Balboa park... and my friend Ron gave me 4 free passes for the fair. The universe does work in mysterious ways. Maybe we could get other tickets for free too. Maybe we will win some free dinners. Maybe some enexpected money will show up from somewhere.
I'm pretty good at finding deals on the internet. I'm actually quite lucky. As I stay in alignment and feeling good, my inner being will guide me to the right place at the right time to get the best deals. I always find a way to pay for the things that I really want to do. Maybe I can make a game of setting intentions each day with them. We can brainstorm the things we want to do and how fun they will be and see what we can manifest every day.
This will be fun... I will enjoy showing Jonathan and Jessica how the law of attraction works, how the possibilities are endless when you focus on the things that you want while feeling good and not offering any contradictory thoughts.
I'm really looking forward to seeing them. I can't wait to see their smiling faces and see how much they've grown over the last 6 months. We're going to have a lot of fun together.
Day 12... A Great Manifestation Story
This true story is so funny I just had to share. I have a lifelong friend who has heard about the law of attraction from me many times but was mostly sitting on the fence of whether or not it's true and can be leveraged to create your dream life or not.
The story began a couple of weeks ago when she called me in an upset and agitated mood. She was trying to rent 2 portions of her Vancouver home quickly and due to technical difficulties with her blackberry, she missed an important email from people who were interested in renting her top space for 3 months. By the time she got the email message and got back to them... they had rented something else and she was feeling extremely bummed about it.
Enter our conversation. I told her that it was probably for the best that it didn't work out with them... that they were probably high maintenance or something else would not have been ideal. That her perfect renter(s) were around the corner and her only job is to decide and focus on who her perfect tenant would be. My friend is a bit of a comedian and definitely knows what she wants in that area so without missing a beat she says... “oh ya, well my perfect tenant is a young, hot, single guy with a six pack who loves to travel and wants a partner to do it with… and oh ya who also wants to rent my place for 3 months or more”!
So I said, perfect... whatever you want... just put your order in and dream what it will be like to meet him and have him rent your place. Then the conversation moved on to another topic. She was still a little bummed about missing the call from the people who were interested so after we hung up... I sent her a link to a silly video I made of me laughing for 5 minutes. I thought she would get a kick out of it because my laughter was really genuine.
She emailed me back in tears of laughter saying thanks that she was feeling better and that I was probably right about the missed opportunity... after all, they could have called her if they really wanted the place.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago when I got a voicemail from my friend saying "you're NOT going to BELIEVE this... guess who I'm meeting tomorrow?"... turns out it's her new tenant... a young, hot, wealth guy her age who just broke up with his girlfriend and has a six pack!!! (As confirmed by his assistant arranging the rental).
I'm not making this up :) She said... okay I'm a believer... sign me up for whatever you've got! This law of attraction stuff is amazing! Hahaha... isn't that a great story?
Two key things happened here. She had a desire that she got clear about and because of how the discussion was, she offered in a light hearted way… kind of like pipe dream, so there was no attachment to it.
Secondly, she got into the vortex in a big way shortly after the contrast of missing the first renter. Where normally she may have held on to that disappointment for days, she was able to let it go within an hour of it happening and was optimistic that she would find someone else soon.
It took just over a week from then for her pipe dream tenant to flow into her life and more importantly, into her house :)
Hope it gives you a little inspirational bump this weekend. Keep up the fantastic vibrational cleanup work everyone!
Wishing you so much love and inspiration,
Joanna
P.S. The latest update after meeting her new tenant is that he's not quite her type but she's so excited now cause she knows that all she has to do is amend her requests a little to receive what she really wants :)

Day 10 - The Focus Wheel Process
Hello Everyone! Today's post will explain what a focus wheel is and how you can use it to help you climb up a few vibrational notches ;)
This process is just another way of achieving the desired result we've been discussing for the last 10 days. All of the exercises we discuss have the same goal however everyone resonates differently with different approaches, so if you've been having some difficulty in shifting your vibration through walking yourself up the emotional scale... try this approach.
A friend of mine let me know about this site where someone wonderful took the time to create a blank focus wheel that you can print and use @ http://oneword.com/ah/focuswheel.pdf. Thank you Arvind Singh!
On this page you will see a large circle with 12 sections in it and a smaller circle in the center. In the center circle, write down what you want to achieve or manifest (how you want to feel).
Picture the circle as a merry go round that is spinning. Your goal is to find a thought that feels better than you do currently but is moving slow enough that it enables you to jump on the merry go round without being thrown off into the bushes.
If you choose a thought that is too far away from where you are currently feeling, it's vibrating too fast so you won't have vibrational access to it. Meaning, you can feel whether or not it causes you to feel a little better or a little worse. If you don't really believe it, then it is not a good thought to write down at this time.
When you find a thought that feels like relief and is moving towards what you've written down in the center, then write it down in one of the sections. Then aim to find another thought that you believe that is moving in the same the direction as well.
The idea is to work your way around the circle with better and better feeling ideas until you've moved the way you feel to match how the desire feels in the center of the page.
Sound a little confusing? Okay... here's an example of how I have used the focus wheel exercise.
In the center circle - What I want : To Develop PlayfulLiving.com into a playful, interactive community where people from all over the world can connect and have fun expanding their consciousness while creating the life of their dreams!
How I currently feel: Overwhelmed. I don't know where to start. I don't know the first thing about building a highly technical, interactive website... I don't have a lot of money to spend on building a website right now. (Holy limiting beliefs :-)
1st attempt to jump on the wheel - I can do anything I want to do. Ouch (I just landed in the bushes... this thought is too far away from how I'm currently feeling).
2nd attempt - I guess I don't need to know where to start. Yay, I'm on the wheel... that thought caused me to feel relief.
Section 2 on the wheel - I know that before anything manifests, it starts out as a thought. Yay... that feels better!
Section 3 - I guess I don't really need to take action on anything until I feel inspired to do so.
Section 4 - I trust in the law of attraction. I know that if I keep thinking about what I want and why I want it, the universe will inspire me with the right thoughts.
Section 5 - Maybe I will attract a web designer who knows how to build what I'm looking for.
Section 6 - What am I going to put on the website that will be so great? Ouch... I'm off in the bushes again... that one didn't feel better at all.
2nd attempt - I don't need to know all of the steps to take right now. Yay... I'm back on the wheel!
Section 7 - Just like I don't need to eat all of the food I'm ever going to eat right now... I don't have to know every step I'm going to take to make my site phenomenal right this very instant.
Section 8 - If I pay attention to how I'm feeling, I bet my inner being will guide me to the inspired action I should take along the way.
Section 9 - I hope that my site will be successful and people will get a lot out of using it. - This one was iffy... makes me feel a little doubtful...
2nd attempt - I know I would LOVE to have a fun online community with tools that I could use to build my knowledge and confidence. That feels better!
Section 10 - More and more people are awakening to the knowledge that they have the power to create the life they want.
Section 11 - There are plenty of people who would get so much use and enjoyment from a supportive, playful online community.
Section 12 - I am sure that as I continue to dream of what I want... it will come together piece by piece and before I know it, I will be the creator of the world renowned online community www.PlayfulLiving.com!
Now that feels absolutely fabulous!!!
Hope that helps :-)

Day 9... A Powerful Realization
Something dawned on me this morning that I want to share with you. I am excited about a visit from my nephew and niece next week who are coming to stay with us for quite a few weeks. They are 13 & 12 respectively and they are such wonderful kids! I found myself getting caught up in the idea of wanting to teach them so many things and "fix" the way they think about life.
Then I realized that there is nothing to fix! There is nothing wrong. It came to me that trying to fix the things in my life is a habitual way of how I think. And when I'm focused on trying to fix things, it brings me more things that I need to fix! That is a huge realization for me!
So my new intention and focus for what I would like to experience with Jonathan and Jessica is FUN! I intend for us to share a lot of fun, laughter and love during our time together! No problems... just good times :)
I'm bringing this up because I think you may also be focused in a manner that is keeping you in a pattern of circumstances that is less than pleasing to you.
There never is anything wrong... because nothing is permanent. There is no need to worry because we can change anything we want at any time. The reason we tend to panic and think that we are stuck is because we've been thinking the same patterns of thought for a long time which has continued to produce the same kinds of results for us. Which makes us think that we can't change. Well... we didn't know then what we know now.
It doesn't have to take a long time to change things. Now that you know or are acquiring this new knowledge of how your focused thought and corresponding emotions are your guide to whether or not you're moving towards or away from things that you want, it will take much less time to get the results you desire.
Everything just is... how we feel about it is what makes it good or bad. So maybe if we could shift our perceptions to that of appreciation for the contrast because of the clarity and expansion it brought us (about what we are focused on in that situation) our vibration would shift and so would the quality of things coming to us. Does that make sense to you?
You never know quite as clearly what you DO want until you know what you don't want. Life is always going to have contrasting situations that present themselves. It's how expansion happens. Without contrast we wouldn't grow and as energetic beings it is our purpose to expand (joyously I might add :) It's just the way it works. The universe would not be eternal if everything was not continually expanding.
The focus of this 30 day adventure is to raise our vibration so that we are attracting better quality circumstances (and contrasts) so that it's easier and easier to find the emotion of appreciation daily.
Do you agree?

Day 8 - A String of Thoughts...
WOW... thanks for sharing in the comments section everyone! It's so inspiring to hear your stories and see how we are all gaining more awareness about how we're feeling throughout the day... and even catching ourselves in the middle of feeling bad and turning it around! It is not always as easy as it sounds to choose the better feeling thought.
Yesterday, I found myself telling an old story to my husband and mom in law over lunch. We took a small road trip to Palm Dessert together and it reminded me of a trip I took there with a friend years ago... and that reminded me of this friend who I haven't spoken to much since then... which reminded me of the wierd and abrupt end to our relationship which left me feeling bad. So funny how I could be happy and feeling great one minute and feeling some guilt in the next minute... with not one thing changing except my thoughts... and therefore my vibration.
The good news is... I was able to shrug the bad feeling off during lunch and then rambled (on paper) on the drive home until I felt a lot better :)
How many times do we all do that in a day? One thought leads to another which leads to another and before you know it, you're reliving something in your mind that you wish hadn't happened in the first place? For me it's too often... and it just gives me even more insentive to carry on deliberately with cleaning up my vibration.
I know that as we continue to focus on improving the thoughts we think and caring more about how we feel, the easier it gets to catch our train of thought sooner and steer it in a direction that feels much better... which in turn brings better feeling things into our lives!
I LOVE knowing that! How about you?

Day 5... Leveraging Your Universal Manager
One of my new favorite tools of Abraham Hicks that I've been using a lot lately is called the placemat process. It helps me when I'm feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to proceed or when I want inspiration throughout my day. It's also just a great way to prepave fun, awareness, safety, speed, efficiency, etc.
Here's how I've been using it... divide a blank page in two. On one side write down your to do list of things that you plan to do today. On the other side of the page write down what you want your universal manager to take care of. Your universal manager is like your magic genie in a bottle.
When I first heard about this process I was a little skeptical about how it could work... I mean really... is my universal manager going to write sales copy for me? Well... probably not, but what my universal manager could do for me is provide me with the inspiration, uninterrupted time and knowledge so I can write my own phenomenal sales copy easily.
One of the great side effects of playing with the placemat process is that it gets you to really think about what you want and why you want it. With a little practice, you start asking better questions of your universal manager. For instance, instead of asking "help me to decide what to do" you may want to ask "please help me to feel what is the best action to take that will bring me a sense of lasting joy" or "please help me to find the perfect person to help me build my business" or "please bring to me, people who are ready to hear my message" or "please provide me with more awareness around beliefs that are getting in the way of more joy", etc. It's getting specific about how you want to feel and what you want to accomplish while being general about how it will unfold.
If anyone has more examples of how this process works, please share them. Hope you find this process as helpful as I do!

Day 4 and Money...
Sometimes I get distressed about not being able to afford everything I want to do. Like I am never going to get to the point I want to be. That I'll always have to settle in going without all of the beautiful clothes, objects, beach houses, cars, gifts for others, accessories, gourmet food, pampering and success that I desire... (I have some BIG plans).
The feelings associated with that line of thinking are frustration and impatience... so I'm going to ramble here with the intention of finding my footing around hopefulness and maybe even positive expectation, belief.
Why is it taking me so long to receive the money I know I'm worthy of? I know how this universe works so I should be able to manifest the life I want NOW. I should've had it by now. Maybe I'm not doing it right. What if I never do it right? What if I never get it? What if I'm stuck here always? There's so much I want to do and I can't seem to make it happen. Well... what if that's the point? What if I'm trying too hard at this? What if it were really easy to attract money? What if the trick is to relax and get excited about it coming? Well I do trust in these universal principles. I do believe that I can be, do and have anything I want.
I've just developed the habit over the years of limited thinking. I didn't know back then what I understand now. If I’m being honest with myself… I'm doing really well actually. I lead a very blessed life. I'm happy about 75% of the time. And I'm getting happier all the time. I have a wonderful life... my perfect partner... a great home in a great city, the opportunity to do what I want for a living... wonderful friends and family, fabulous weather and scenery... I get to attend workshops to expand myself, work with mentors to learn leading edge practices... I have a supportive network of people who understand me (read you :) A husband who loves and respects me... who I get along with famously! My awareness has expanded so significantly in the last 3 years. I get to learn and implement almost everything I'm interested in. I do have frequent glimpses of how wonderfully my life is unfolding.
In fact, except for some old patterns of thought (impatience) that pop up occasionally, I'm feeling pretty confident and excited about where I'm headed. And thanks to this 30 day adventure, I'm replacing those old limiting beliefs with new empowering ones like these! It’s only a matter of practice and alignment to receive the physical manifestations that I desire. So I will spend more time appreciating the wonderful things I do have with the positive expectation that as I raise my vibration and be happy with where I am… the law of attraction will work its magic to bring me everything I want that I’m a vibrational match to.
I'm feeling MUCH better already... how about you?

In fact, except for some old patterns of thought (impatience) that pop up occasionally, I'm feeling pretty confident and excited about where I'm headed. And thanks to this 30 day adventure, I'm replacing those old limiting beliefs with new empowering ones like these! It’s only a matter of practice and alignment to receive the physical manifestations that I desire. So I will spend more time appreciating the wonderful things I do have with the positive expectation that as I raise my vibration and be happy with where I am… the law of attraction will work its magic to bring me everything I want that I’m a vibrational match to.
I'm feeling MUCH better already... how about you?
Day 3...
Greater expansion begins with awareness, so you may notice more negative thoughts popping up this week than before. When you catch them... instead of feeling bad about yourself that you're so negative... see if you can reach for the feeling of appreciation for your ability to notice your habitual thoughts. Give yourself a pat on the back for your greater awareness... after all it's taken you your whole life to form how you think about the world, so it's bound to take you a little time to change old thought patterns.
Be gentle with yourself! You are exactly where you are supposed to be. Just relax with the knowing that really good things lie before you.
At first, you'll probably just notice how negative your thoughts can be after you've said them. Then you may notice something negative as you are saying it. Each time you're aware of a negative thought, do the 4 step process to help you feel better. It may take quite a few sessions of writing or talking yourself up the emotional scale. No matter how many times it takes though... you will start feeling better.
As you change the chronic vibration you are offering to the universe on every topic that's important to you, you will attract better feeling manifestations in all areas. You will have shifted the vibrational frequency you're offering so law of attraction HAS TO bring you experiences that match what you're offering now. That's the way the law of attraction works... It must be. Isn't that SOOOOO good to know?
Before you know it, you'll be catching your negative thoughts before you say them and you'll just hold your tongue, you know the old adage, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all :)
Once you master that skill, get ready for it cause it will come soon... that old, not so good feeling thought won't even come to your mind because you've done so much vibrational "work" on it that you've replaced the negativity with a much better feeling thought. Once that happens, look out world! Everything you've been wanting around that topic will begin flowing into your experience with greater and greater intensity!
That's the plan... are you in?

Day 2...
I found the following thoughts swimming around my mind today:
I don't know what to write on the blog... should I do more videos? Do I share the intimate details of my life? Do I send out emails every morning? What if what I say or write sounds stupid...? What will people think? My friends and family are going to think I'm crazy... that I've gone off the deep end living in California vibrational lala land...
Not very productive thoughts and definitely not focused on what I want to accomplish in this adventure together. Ahhhh.... an opportunity to clean up my vibration :)
Okay so what do I want?
I want to focus on what I want to happen with confidence and expectation that it will improve my life drastically. I want to feel good. I want to inspire others to create the quality of life they've always wanted. I want to consciously focus my mind in one direction without second guessing myself or thinking self defeating thoughts.
Emotions associated with these unwanted thoughts range from doubt to lack of confidence in my abilities.
How do I want to feel right now? Hopeful... optimistic.
Here it goes...
This way of thinking is an old habit of mine. I can form new habits with some consistent practice. It doesn't matter if I do things "perfectly" or not. Who knows what's perfect anyway? I'm a smart girl... I'll figure something out. I'll just listen to my intuition. I bet even the most powerful people second guess themselves sometimes. I'm getting better every day at focusing my thoughts on what I want. It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks about me. What matters most is that I feel good about what I'm doing.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and their opinion doesn't have to effect me. I'm the one who decides how I feel. I bet most of the judgment I'm worried about is going on inside my own head. Most people are really supportive and nice with me. I believe whole heartedly in the power of focused thought and the perfection of our emotional guidance system. I am so happy that I know about my internal guidance. That I'm the only person who knows what's right for me and you are the only person who knows what's right for you. How awesome is that!?!
I'm feeling better already. I'm just going to go with the flow and any time I feel myself contemplating how things won't work or concerning myself with others opinions of me... I'm just going to pick up where I left off with this conversation. I hope that everyone who participates in this 30 day adventure notices amazing improvement in how they're feeling daily and experience undeniably positive results from their deliberate effort to clean up how they feel on every topic surrounding them.
With excited anticipation,
Joanna

I'm feeling lighter already!
Hello Friends!
Welcome to day one of our 30 day adventure to deliberately clean up our chronic vibrational patterns!
Today I made a list of old memories that when I think of them, cause me to feel bad. My day is going really well so I started from my place of peace, and tacked my not so pleasant memories... I was much easier than starting from the middle of an unpleasant situation.
It's great to start with a memory because you've had time to put some distance between you and the situation and hopefully have more perspective on it now. I found that I could easily walk myself to a much better feeling place by finding appreciation for the lesson I learned, the fact that I would not be quite the same without it and the realization that I was doing the best I could with what I knew at the time.
How is your first day of deliberate vibrational clean up going?
I look forward to seeing your posts and hearing about your progress in feeling better each day.
Wishing you effortless floating up the emotional scale,
Joanna
