How to manifest things in your life, laws of attraction, how to get that dream job, find the perfect relationship, how to lose weight etc etc I'm sure there are lots of books on this, I can't say I got into those books but I had always had this feeling of always searching for something and a wanting to know who I really was and was in the search for happiness. So sounds just like most people on this planet.
Anywho, looking back at the events in my life it all makes sense now. A few years back I used to stress quite a bit about money, work, relationships, my body, doing the right thing, not being good enough...but the more I focused on it and tried to control it - the worse it got! I didn't cope very well with stressful or confrontational people yada yada yada again, sounds like most people.
Anywho, after a few life changing events (a spiritual kick up the backside)...I realise now that the more at peace you are with yourself, the more positive things will be. Positive events start to happen for you AND without a lot of effort!! It took awhile for me to get to this way of thinking as I had to 'sort out' a lot of my old baggage, but I can say I get it now. It really is true "Your outer world reflects your inner world!" simple as that. If you have some inner conflict going on, then things around you always seem a bit shite right?
I don't focus much on the tiny details anymore. (Well okay sometimes I still do! I'm not perfect) But the more you just get on with your life and stop obsessing about whatever it is you want, the more things start happening for you. I'm not saying 'do nothing'...you still have to take at least the first step in the direction you want to go and let the universe take care of the rest. Oh, you have to be clear with what it is you are asking for! That's obvious right?
You can always prepare...but not focus all your time and effort 'pushing' for things to happen. You can drive yourself nuts doing so. Take a step in the right direction and the universe will sort out the details for sure. And the thing is - not to expect it in the way you think it will happen either. It can work out much better than you ever thought. If things are not working out...then think 'what is it am I supposed to be learning in this instance?'...more often than not for me, it's patience!
A couple of wonderful things that happened to me recently:
- To become a Reiki practitioner the reiki federation guidelines suggests that you see about 30 individuals over a period of 6 months to get experience. I saw about 40 people in 5 months - not once did I worry or think about how I was going to hit that number - it just happened!! I didn't even need to try too hard - I think I sent a couple of emails and that was it! My goal was clear, I wanted to become a Reiki Practitioner...I took the first step with the email and the rest of the details sorted itself out.
- Work: I have a chat with a friend about direction and what to do with my job and about Reiki, my friends says "I can't tell you what to do, what would you ideally like to be doing?'
Me: 'Ideally I would like to become a contractor for about 6 months then transition to part-time 3-4 days a week and start doing Reiki!'
We go back to our desks at work and then I get a phone call from a recruitment agent asking if I was interested in a 6 month contract for company in the same building, I think you will fit the job perfectly...
Me: 'No, f**king way!' ...I got the job (not by swearing by the way!) and I am now doing Reiki part-time.
Lots of other little magical things have happened, but don't want to bore the socks off you.
