HURRAH

Subsequent to writing about  my resolution to start ‘polishing my perception’ on reality, in order to have fun and be happy, I invented a method for doing so.

I am experimenting with it, to see what happens.

Here is the thought:

Completely in line with the Law of Attraction does sending out ‘bad’ vibes only lead to receiving ‘bad’ vibes. Do I like feeling even more bad vibes?  Do I like a reality in which I feel ‘bad’? Well….. not really! So, in order to feel good vibes, I need to send ‘good vibes’.

But how to act when I am confronted with things that really tempt me to express my irritation and frustration about? ‘The ‘cold feet’, ‘wet clothes in rainstorms’, ‘dull tasks to do’, ‘screaming cats’, ‘missing socks in my laundry’ in this world, among very very many other things?

‘Ignoring’ them  is just a mild way of putting energy in dismissing them…. That may help for a few minutes.. but everything that gets noticed and provokes a strong emotion in me, tends to have the need to be acknowledged, judging by the fact that they will return in knocking on my ‘door’.

Accepting them, is a very wise spiritually sound advice. Yeah, well…. It fits with the theory of send = receive.. My only trouble is:”How to do it, in a practical way, if airing my dislike is such an obvious almost automatic thing to do?”

In order to stop this question biting its own tale ( because I was resisting the solution to accept things I don’t like and therefore feeling worse and worse), I approached it with a few guidelines I like to use on this type of problem:

• -          See Life as a  Game, have fun and play
• -          Stuck on a position? I have to actively switch my position.. look at it from a different angle.. do something different....
• -          There are only Good Things in life: some to enjoy right away, some to learn from.
• -          Be aware

So, I have to acknowledge the things I don’t’ like also for being Good, something to learn from. I am, in this game allowed to differentiate between things I enjoy right away and learning experiences. But investing a lot of energy in saying ‘NO’ to them, trying to make them go away, will be counterproductive.

Then I switched position, from taking it all very serious, to playing with it.  Here is what I decided to do:.

-         If there is something in my reality I like, I say things like:”Thank you”, or ‘Yes, please’ and I enjoy them right away.

-          If I become aware of feeling that something in my reality is bothering me, I do accept it a s a learning experience, to start sending good vibes, by saying:”Hurrah”.

In doing so, I am accepting it in my reality as something to have fun with, to practice ‘sending out good vibes on’ and in doing so, I feel better about it.

My feet may still be cold, my clothes still wet, the task the same, but it’s far easier to open up for receiving  an improvement in the situation, if I allow my mind to ‘move’ towards the desired ‘fun’ and  ‘pleasure’. And that’s exactly what shouting ‘hurrah’ can achieve.
