Sharing time!
I received this information from one of my friends when I explained to her that I had some fear-based procrastination going on. I loved what she sent me and I thought I'd share it here in case someone else might be experiencing this type of thing:

I wanted to share this info I got from a unemployment support group at [name of group deleted intentionally]. It's a bit "new age", so forgive me if it's not your cup of tea. If you've ever watched the movie "The Secret" or believe in manifesting your destiny, then this will probably makes sense and be of some help. Here goes:

The facilitator talked about the four kingdoms of consciousness and how they relate to six steps you can use to manifest your destiny. The four kingdoms are:
  1. "Things happen *to* me" --Victim consciousness.

  2. "Things happen by me" -- Manifestation, taking control.

  3. "Things happen through me", Co-creating with your higher power --requires you to let go of some control.

  4. "Things happen/Life happens *as* me". This is when you reach the highest level and have a "mystic" experience. They said we can be at different levels in different areas.


I have definitely been stuck in Level 1) for a couple weeks. So to get out of this, I am going to follow the the 6 steps they outlined:

  1. Name your good (visualize what you want, write it down, be specific as you want to be); for me, it is to [deleted intentionally to protect my friend's privacy]

  2. Denials --Get rid of the denials of Truth (that you can be/do anything you want because you are a part of God/higher power); All those things that go in my head --"I can't start my own [whatever it is]

  3. Affirmative statements --change the above to affirmative statements.

  4. Faith --Believe it is happening

  5. Word --Talk it, write it, do it

  6. Find the secret of inner power within you --tap into that higher power to guide you, etc.


It sounds like you might be in step 2, going through some denials. So, get out of there and write up some affirmative statements.

Cool, eh? Even if you belong to an organized religion, I believe that this stuff is universal and can help anyone in the situation in which I found myself.

Back to work for me. My employer is a real slave-driver. Giddyup.

He's so helpful. He even types for me sometimes!

I LOVE your co-worker. He's not exactly in the cubicle next to you, looks like he might be wanting to take over your computer. But how can you resist those beautiful brown eyes?
loved the post. I think we can apply this to all our lives, no matter what situation we are in. Great advice.

Hey-O! At least you can pet your boss. But trying to get work done could be a challenge with him eyeing you balefully the whole time.

I really needed to read that help-advice. Makin' the change to insulin today so things seem a bit scary. But then isn't all change a bit scary? I'm going to feel soooo much better and yet I'm scared. Go figure. The gym was scary the first time too. Now I love it!

So you just visualize yourself to a new level of confidence, and if that doesn't work, do it to avoid the stink-eye from your furry new boss.

Love you!

You have stayed so positive during this time of "tranition". Your boss looks tough - keep plenty of treats around! Hee hee.
You WILL land sunny side up and you must continue words of encouragement.
