What’s happening in the world today? Our (U.S.) government is going into the private sector to bail out (and become primary equity shareholders of) a major insurance company and now we’re looking at allowing the banking system a “free pass” while our friends are losing their homes.
Our President and presidential candidates are screaming recession bordering on a depression and the mainstream media at large? Well, don’t even get me started on that one…
Yesterday, I thought about calling the White House to see if I could get an appointment with “Dubya” to do some work on the Law of Attraction! What is he thinking?
Something is seriously wrong here…and I don’t think is started with us (the general citizens). However, if we continue to allow ourselves to be fed information by a fear-generating machine, we can only create more of the same. Such is the nature of the Law of Attraction. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m certainly not saying that there are not REAL factors occurring in the world now that are contributing to this big financial mess we seem to be in, however, instead of focusing on the problem, what if we focused on the solution.
The Law of Attraction clearly says that whatever we choose to focus our attention upon grows. We know it’s true. Therefore, by focusing on a problem, we create…what? You got it, more problems, bigger problems. By focusing on the fear, we create more fear.
Today, as I traveled through my day, I couldn’t help but notice the “walking zombie” look that so many people had. Our society is rapidly becoming shell-shocked by this constant barrage of bad news. I started to really tune into the energy of these people who had seemingly lost the core of their humanity and I could feel that they are scared…fear was the dominate emotion in their lives right now. I wonder how it might be different if our government and the media began talking about plans for recovery, rather than our inevitable economic crash. What do you think?
I recently listened again, for about the 27th time, to the Nightingale-Conant audio program called “The Science of Personal Achievement” which largely features Napoleon Hill, the author if the classic bible on personal development called Think and Grow Rich. In the program, Dr. Hill tells the story of the MasterMind group he was involved with around the time of the Great Depression when he and many of the key figures in government, industrialists and newspaper owners banded together for the single-minded purpose of restoring America’s faith. The two houses of Congress rallied behind President Roosevelt; the key newspapers agreed to run only the most positive economic news and corporations nationwide jumped on the bandwagon to support the President and the government in creating solutions to the worst economic catastrophe in American history…
…but if you listen to our media and government, it’s no wonder that people are beginning to wonder if in fact we are about to live through the worst economic catastrophe in history.
I have a proposal…and please chime in on this to let me know your thoughts:
1. We all choose to focus on the positive — always — and do everything in our power to repel the fear and negativity as it arises;
2. We take the time to learn what’s REALLY going on in the world that creates the constant ebbs and flows in economic and social conditions…we might actually find in our research that there are specific parties pulling the puppets strings, and perhaps this has been going on for centuries;
3. We allow our voices to be heard through Social Media, blogging and connecting to like-minded individuals;
4. We let our government know that THEY WORK FOR US, not the other way around!
YOU HAVE THE POWER! Use it…shout out…speak your passion…let your opinion be heard. It is our silence and apathy as citizens of this country and of the world that has allowed the “powers that be” to run rampant…
But they can’t stop us…they can’t stop the internet…they cannot touch that spark of freedom, individuality and passion that runs deep in each of us. So, what do you say? Let’s be heard together!
My friend David Childerley has just posted a video helps to gain some clarity on these issues, while providing both Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and his new strategy called The Balance Technique to release any fear or anxiety about all these perceived craziness. His commentary on the world his brilliant — but brace yourself if this is new information for you, because you might find it a bit shocking…
…But the tools he provides are very effective.
I would like to encourage you to do something…RIGHT NOW…contribute in whatever way you feel to a SOLUTION and encourage everyone around you…everyone you know to do the same. Together we can stand against fear, economic crisis, controlled media and an oppressive government that has lost touch with its people.
And take a look at Dave’s video…I can virtually guarantee you some relief in the next 30 minutes.
Thanks for your patience through my rant and please…LET ME HEAR FROM YOU!
Fear-based media is all around us. Personally, I’ve been on a mainstream news fast for quite a long time. I rarely watch any local news or CNN or any of the primary news stations.
Why? One primary reason and lots of others. The main reason is this: the Law of Attraction. I’ve said it over and over. The Law of Attraction works no matter whether you are using is consciously or through your random thoughts, feelings and actions. It doesn’t require your belief. It doesn’t require your permission. It’s working right now. So, if that Law of Attraction is working and attracting that which I am thinking, feeling and acting upon at any given time, why in the world would I want to watch news about war, famine, sickness, drug addiction, and…all this bad news about THE ECONOMY? I don’t and I don’t think you should either.
Every negative thought and picture we create in our minds about the economy failing in America (or worldwide) serves to bring more of the same. And because of the power of group thoughts, feelings and actions, when entire communities, cities, even entire countries are focused on the negative, what are we going to attract more of? Of course, the negative. The truth is that all economies ebb and flow…constantly moving up and down, up and down. This is just a phase and within the current economic situation are amazing opportunities. So, how would it be if you focused on opportunities, instead of on the poor economy? What if you said to yourself, like a mantra, throughout the day: "Opportunities await at every turn!" or "Money flows to me easily and effortlessly."
So, focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want.
Start by shifting your habits and not letting outside sources like the mainstream news determine where your thoughts, feelings and actions take you. Take a news fast. Try it for a week. For just one week, don’t read a newspaper, or watch the TV news, or even search online for news. I assure you that if something that you need to know about happens, someone will tell you. You’ll hear about it if you need to. Every other pieces of "bad news" just serves to create a negative picture of something you do not want to attract.
Surround yourself with the positive. Create pictures of the things you want in your life and focus on that. It’s easy to do, if you just COMMIT to doing it. Watch what happens in ONE WEEK!
Starting next week, I’m going to be providing you with a day-by-day, step-by-step system you can use, in little video chunks of only a few minutes in length. That will help, I promise. But in the meantime, stay out of the media junkie world and give yourself a break. You’ll be glad you did.
How do we overcome whatever may be blocking us from receiving? “Receiving what, Jeff?” you may be asking. Anything! One thing I’ve found in working with coaching clients is that whatever they are choosing in their lives that they don’t already have is usually being slowed down by some kind of fear, block or resistance and it’s almost always on a subconscious level.
We came into this life with only two fears:
1. The fear of loud noises; and
2. The fear of falling.
Everything else we adopted along the way. Fear of public speaking; fear of failure; fear of rejection; fear of heights…literally everything else blocking us was learned by some experience or series of experiences. Well, if your mind can learn something like that through simply having one or more traumatic experiences around it, why can’t we also “unlearn” or quickly release that issue? We can, of course.
There are a number of very effective methods for releasing fear, or overcoming obstacles keeping us from anything we want to do, be or have. One of the techniques I like best is called Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT.
I use EFT in my coaching practice all the time and have clients creating personal breakthroughs at an astounding rate. It’s a simple practice and takes only a few minutes to get the basics down.
Recently, I connected with Nick Ortner, the producer of a new documentary film about EFT called Try It On Everything
Nick has made a fabulous film that not only trains you in the use of EFT but also provides excellent documentation on how the process can be used on virtually everything, thus the title of the film. I have found the same thing to be true in my work with coaching clients. We’ve used the process for overcoming fear of public speaking (along with some specialty sound and music processes I created), for extreme anxiety, weight loss, mental blocks toward success, procrastination, back pain, migraine headaches…and the list really goes on and on.
Try it on everything is the motto of EFT. What have you got to lose? I’d love to hear your stories about EFT, successes, failures, breakthoughs…do share by commenting below.
Also, take a look at Nick’s movie trailer below for Try It On Everything and then follow the link to check out more information and for a bunch of free resources. And once you learn EFT…try it on everything!
