I think I would call it a wakeup call. I wont say I have a long way to go but I obviously need let things sink in a little deeper.

As most of you know I am restarting my Insurance business and one of my old frinds from high school has had his insurance with me for ever. Even when I went on my own. Well he called me today and said he wanted to cancel. My stomache dropped I felt nervous and anxiety set in real quick. Well seems it was just a miscommunication on payment options and I saved the business.

My point is how easy and quickly I fell out of the faith and belief. How something really so small could throw me. I felt the after effects for some time and I was thinking im not going to let one little bump in the road throw my day off and I control how I feel.

How to overcome stress and problems when they do arrive?

I have been also reading stuart lichmans book too and maybe im getting confused on which method or if I can work them together. I guess that is why WW says use only his book. Too much drama goes on inside your head hehe.

Thanks for all the support i know ill get and also the advice. Wish my wife would give me/this as much attention as everyone here.

MAKE THE TIME!!!

That's a VERY good point, Bill. One of my teachers wrote recently that when we say, "I can afford _______," we're really saying, "I'm not worth ________." And so that applies with our time as well as with our money.

To say I don't have time to learn what it takes to turn my life around ... well, that's just a little mind-boggling when you really think about it, isn't it?

Yes, find the time, make the time. The time is there, you just need to realize you're WORTH that investment of it.

Hi W.T.

Unless you share what is going on in your head we won't be able to give accurate feedback and ideas.

Your talking of what is in your head and heart is helping many other people with similar situations who may be a bit timid to speak about them. Rather than think you are burdening people change the thought to being a voice for others.

I didnt realize you were not in the Practical Genius course. William, you cannot make bricks without clay. Get in the course and dig into what we have been talking about.

As for the feelings you had when you old friend wanted to cancel that is opportunity to face the deep seated inside fears and learn what to do about them.

Its all in the course; why wait? Its affordable. Perhaps even a tax write-off.

As for the Stuart L. course I am sure it is great but one thing at a time. I tried to do two similar courses, this and another, but it didnt work out. I realized I had to pick this one and make it my foundation. The results have been very good.

All these things you have talking about are addressed in the course. That is why it came about; it was needed to help people with the book. And the forum manifested to help people with the course.

So rather than stand in the doorway looking in, walk through the doorway and join in..

I always agree with Rebecca, lol, but I agree with Jedi, as well.

Do sign up for and take the Practical GeniusesTM course. There is no time limit on it and in fact, Rebecca urges all of us to take our time, relax and have fun with it. It brings a lot of things together in a very clear and concise way.

We all have days when we wobble. We're learning a new skill so be compassionate with yourself. Sometimes the only way I can get back on course is to go outside and sit in the sun or take a walk or watch a funny movie. You'll learn as you go what works for you to get you back into gratitude and focus on your CMI.

Best of success and BELIEVE its coming to you in spite of appearances.

Namaste,
Linda

I think you've missed the point. You're not being asked to be quiet, and it's not US who are harmed by your focus. You're being nudged to shift your focus because "horrible feelings" DEFINITELY mean you are heading yourself toward a "manifestation" that will feel horrible to you as well.

See?

No need for apologies. Why not share all your negative thoughts with us and let us help you to overcome them, someone else's perspective is often useful and looking at things from a detatched viewpoint the emotion is often filtered out I find. Perhaps Rebecca can back me up on that view.

Regarding the course. I just went ahead and signed up for it and the time just seemed to come to me. That was a few months after I first read SOGR and I'm almost through the course and planning to run through it again. Just do it in your own time I'm sure there's no hard and fast rule you need to spend x hours per week on it, but it will make a difference

Thanks for the response. I do apologize for bradcasting my negative comments on these forums. Sorry I'll be quiet.

I havnt signed up for the Practical GeniusesTM course yet. I am trying to figure out if I have enough time to fully commit to it.

Thanks for all your replies and again sorry to manifest my negativity here.

Have you considered why you feel as if you're not getting enought attention from your wife? What are you impressing on formless in regard to your marriage?

I don't know much about your circumstance, I'm not a marriage guidance counsellor and being single myself I'm perhaps not qualified to say, but just a thought though - focus on what you want you and your partner to be doing more of. Essentially a CMI about (aspects of) your relationship. Consider also what Wattles tells us about trying to impress our desires upon others.

If that comment was just wit I apologise but consider that even in such a context, is it what you wish to impress?

quote:

How to overcome stress and problems when they do arrive?

Focus on your CMI, act in the certain way, hold onto gratitude and let the creative energies work for you. If you are stressed, anxious and focussing on the appearance of problems then you are probably trying to control the creative process.

Relax and have fun.

Yes, trying to do two systems at once makes no sense, as you are finding out. (Stuart's work is entirely in harmony with Wally's, but still, you need to focus on ONE at a time if you want to get anywhere.)

Are you enrolled in the Practical GeniusesTM course? That's where I personally provide attention and recommendations. I've decided not to do that in these public forums (aside from the occasional brief "hit") because it really makes more sense for me to do that with people who have made a COMMITMENT and the course requires that. Efficient action!

So here's my "quick hit":

You're focusing on everything that "goes wrong" instead of on what you want -- not just thinking about it but coming here and broadcasting it to everyone. That's why you're attracting more of it. That will continue as long as your thought continues in this way. Every time you get hit with a "not good" feeling you have the choice to switch your thinking to something that feels a little better. Do that and you'll start to see things change.
