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

This blog is a sharing place for people who are using the principles of the law of attraction to deliberately clean up their chronic vibrations... thereby improving the quality of their lives.
Wow…what I think others think about me and how it affects my head. As a renegade entrepreneur…and 90% of the time doing business 180deg opposite from what the “norm” is I sometimes allow my head to be infiltrated with thoughts that do not serve me well. I have second thoughts about what the H am I doing? It can send me into a spiral for a day before I recover…I plan to emerge on the other side of this challenge with a new set of beliefs that will serve me better.
ReplyDeleteJoanna, I am so excited that your 30 day adventure. Thank you so much for sharing your positive energy with the world. I am finally ready to participate. So, I've spent a couple of months going within and really jotting down what I DON'T WANT and clarifying what I DO WANT. I've embraced "contrast" as a tool to further learn about myself.
ReplyDeleteI plan on visualizing and focusing on what I want while raising my vibrations. Lately I've found so many things to laugh about even while I'm working. My goal is to simply appreciate the beauty and the comedy of life. lol.
I will check in everyday. Please do continue to share your adventures.
Namaste
Joanna, I am already noticing the tons of negative thoughts that infiltrate my head daily. And the ease with which you can switch those thoughts. I am so glad that you decided to do this. It makes it so much easier when you have people to talk to about it. Thanks, Jeanette
ReplyDeleteWow.....I've just had an experience that has me feeling worried. I'm reaching for a feeling of hopefullness & find myself thinking about this all turning out for the best for all concerned. I think I'm actually starting to expect thing to work out for me!
ReplyDeleteStay tuned for day 3!
My Day 2 was great, I ended up making a list of all the little things (some not so little) from my past that I should "revisit" so I can leave things in a better place than where they were before, and I got on a roll and remembered lots of things for the list, it grew quickly. But I am trying not to bite off more than I can chew. I am revisiting two or three things per day and applying my current vantage point and perspective to them. I am also re-reading Ask and It Is Given, and I am amazed at the conciseness of the teachings in that book. As I was appreciating he clarity of the information, it dawned on me that the information was coming as a response to a request I placed years ago when I had been dissatisfied with some of the dated language and less clear teachings of other philosophies.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a perfect San Diego day and I was appreciating that all day. I also am hyper-tuned in to the overall quality of each thought and found myself shifting thoughts upward that I was previously oblivious to. We have so many! Thanks everyone for posting your thoughts.

Thank you so much for sharing everyone! It's so helpful to know that we're all in this together and the more focus we give to feeling better throughout each day, the easier it gets to feel better.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Ryan... I think I will bust out Ask & It is Given again too. It will be great to listen to it from my new level of awareness and see what I hear differently now.
Keep the posts coming my powerful friends :)
Joanna
This is already an amazing exercise. Day 3 and I'm already automatically starting to turn around those nagging negative thoughts as soon as they pop up!
ReplyDeleteWow, Joanna, my thoughts are so similar to yours today. I have been feeling impatience and overwhelment with all the projects I have taken on. I begin to worry that I won’t get everything done before my window of opportunity closes. Then I reach for the thought there really is always going to be opportunity and I don't have to do everything perfectly. I realize that I am truly enjoying most everything I do and can just relax and enjoy it more since I will never get it done and there is always plenty of time. I began visualizing how it will feel when I get to a certain point in my projects and everything is flowing like I want it to. I visualize my toys being a huge hit that the world is just waiting for. I guess I am reaching kind of high for optimism but it feels right most of the time.
