Stop Trying...

If everything is energy and the universe responds to your energy, then continuing to “Try” to do things will only bring more “Try”ing experiences. It's like waiting. If we get continue waiting for things to happen, then we will continue to wait for things to happen. If we keep trying to succeed, we are not actually succeeding. In trying we are focusing on the feeling of trying. We bring more experiences, more feelings, that just make us try and try and try some more.

So how do you “Do” instead of try? It sounds easy, and it can be if you understand easy doesn't mean quick. It takes energy to stop trying and to start doing. It takes energy to stop waiting and to start doing. It takes a choice and a conscious decision to move out of that energy of TRY and WAIT and into an energy of making things happen.

Like attracts like. Try attracts try. Wait attracts wait. Doing attracts doing (more motivation and willpower). We can each create the energy of attraction that we want in life and we can choose to change our energy in any moment if we're not getting what we want in life. We can create our own vortex of energy that pulls to us what we want instead of what we don't want. I know I need to practice this myself. My default setting is to try to do things, to try to be successful, to try to fulfill my life purpose. This is a reminder for me to change my habits. I want different and in order to get different something different has to happen! It's an interesting word game if you think about it.

And yes I just watched another video on the Law of Attraction....which explains this post/reminder!

I am grateful for a full time job. I am getting into a rhythm and it's getting easier. I am having more free time and time to finish my next coloring book and work on my next book. I have decided to take care of my physical body first though in the morning. I started exercising yesterday. This is a choice I am making to feel better about myself and my life in general. Next will come my creative passions and hobbies and pretty soon my paid employment will be important but third on the list of priorities as I learn to balance all aspects of my life. It's a process, a journey, and if you're reading this and struggling with your own life and balancing it, take it one moment at a time...one choice, one decision at a time. You will get to where you want to go. Have patience and love for yourself.

Remember to attract what you want and not what you don't want. What are you really saying about yourself and your life? Pay attention to the words you use. These will tell you what your underlying beliefs and overall energy are. And don't get trapped thinking you can't change your beliefs because you can. Just take the next step, make a new choice, and decide if you want to be the same/get the same or do something different to get something different.

In gratitude, Elizabeth

p.s. I am also getting better at forgiveness but some days are harder than others. I've learned not to give myself a hard time. If my ego wants to rant and rage I let it for a moment to get that energy out. Once the dam breaks the world shifts and everything gets easier again. I don't see this as giving in or doing something wrong. I just break the energy myself or let it break itself so I can rebuild it the way I want to. Hope this assists someone. Namaste.
