Making Peace With Now

One of the most misunderstood strategies of attraction is surrendering into your current reality. The topic typically comes up when you decide you want to upgrade one aspect of your life and yet you’re stuck facing a reality that you don’t love.

What to do, what to do?

Don’t lie and try to convince yourself that you like what you’re looking at. However, you can stop resisting it. You can also find aspects of your current reality that you can appreciate. It is important that you make peace with current reality, otherwise you won’t be able to shake it loose to upgrade to your next reality.

I’ll use creating more income as an example. If your business currently attracts $3000 a month, yet you need to pull in more than $5000 to pay your business and living expenses, how do you make peace with that?

Here are some suggestions:

• Appreciate the money you are making.
• Appreciate that you are paying some of your expenses.
• Appreciate your current and past clients, customers and patients.
• Acknowledge that you are in transition, and it takes some time to see results.
• Acknowledge the courage it takes to own your own business.
• Get excited about your forthcoming income upgrade.
• Let go of past mistakes or that you think you should be farther along in the process of generating income.
• Use this transition time to align your thoughts, beliefs and focus with your intended income outcome.

Soothing your emotions into a place of peace, or at least acceptance, will allow the new beliefs, strategies and ideas to come forth to assist you to upgrade your income.

Give as little attention as possible to the pain of your current financial situation unless you are using it to learn information to create solutions.

There is actually nothing bad about your current reality except the label that you put on it. Don’t see your reality as a big hairy deal, because when you do, it becomes a big hairy deal. I’ve been in deep debt and watched my income go from six figures to under $50,000 in a year. I was beating myself up pretty bad and nothing was shifting.

The first thing I did was to make a decision about upgrading back into six figures. The next step was to make peace with my situation. I had made myself very wrong for allowing my finances to get so low, especially knowing what I know about this topic. I had to let it all go! As soon as I made peace with it all, I felt instant relief. Releasing my resistance opened me up to step back into six figures within nine months.

When I was reading my AbeList email this morning, I came across this amazing post by Gary. He gave me his permission to post it to my blog. To me, it is an absolutely amazing, spot on, synopsis of Abraham’s work. Enjoy the read, and remember, GET HAPPY!

I’ve decided to write a Welcome to Abraham doc. It seems many people have similar questions when they’re first starting out and they’re the same questions I had. And I think I can put a different spin on it that may make Abe’s message a little easier to understand.

For reading material, I would recommend Ask And It Is Given. It is the standard upon which the other books are based.

As far as an overview, it’s much simpler than you would think. All this talk of allowing and vibration and downstream and The Vortex just boils down to getting happy regardless of what is. Once you can be happy most of the time, you start allowing.

So instead of the three steps (asking, answering, allowing), I see it as two steps. And you only have to do one of them.

1) Get happy to the point where you can love almost every thing about every moment of every day. This state of being is called The Vortex. The happier you are, the higher your vibration.

2) Then the Law of Attraction (LOA) will bring you more things to make you feel that way, including whatever you desire. The better it gets, the better it gets.

Sometimes the processes and stuff can all seem so overwhelming but they all have just one goal in mind – to get you happy. There are lots of ways to make yourself feel better. Finding what works for you is your job.

“Your true nature is one of an infinitely, all knowing, joyous being that never, ever considers anything that ever happens in your physical experience as negative.” In other words, it’s all good.

Basically, we are eternal beings and this is just one lifetime. Who cares if I have a lot of bills right now? Or if my lover left me? Or my car just got totaled? I mean in the grand scheme of things, this is just the tiniest blip of a blip. Even within your own lifetime, it’s not that important. So don’t let it lower your emotion.

Regarding taking action to further your desires, you can take action, but do it because you want to do it, because you love to do it! Not because you have to do it or need to do it. That’s what Abe means by “inspired action”. And you’ll find that if you love to do it, you will want to continue doing it regardless of your immediate results. And if you can not worry about stuff not showing up and just do it because you love to do it, then the results must come.

Your only real job is to get happy. Again, your only job is to get happy. Wait, YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO GET HAPPY! LOL. Sorry about that – couldn’t resist.

And when I say “happy”, I mean really, really happy. Like literally loving everybody! Feeling the love in everyone you meet. Knowing that you are connected to every being on this planet and beyond. Loving every second of every minute of every hour of every day. Being able to appreciate everything about everything. It’s one thing trying to be happy despite what is, it’s another being happy *regardless* of what is. In the first instance there are negative happenings that are bothering you but you’re trying not to think about them; in the second instance you realize that there are no negative happenings and it’s all good.

So, even if you were to lose your job and your car and your spouse and your house, if you are happy then the Universe will provide for you and your life will become richer than you ever thought (and not just spiritually richer). And that’s a law of the Universe! Weird, huh?

It’s completely opposite from what we’ve been taught about hard work. I’ve found from personal experience that the less “forced” work I do, the more goofing around and watching movies and enjoying myself that I do, the closer I get to my dreams. It doesn’t necessarily make sense, but it works. Not overnight, but it works. This is where the expression “Let go, let God” comes in handy.

When I first started on this path, I figured it would be the manifestations that would make me happy and LOA was a shortcut to the manifestations. What I found is that once I got into the Vortex, once I was happy about almost everything I did all day long that the formerly all-important manifestations just didn’t matter. You’ll be so happy, you won’t care which desires are manifesting and which aren’t. And, that’s when they will come!

Not that I don’t occasionally come out of the Vortex. But I know with a little effort I can go right back in. For me, I’ve found that whenever I get particularly stuck out of the Vortex because I’m worrying about something or doubting my self worth, etc. that the best thing for me is meditation. It just quiets my mind and stops all the negative chatter going on in my head. I can then see things more clearly and can easily move back in afterwards.

In addition to our overall happiness set point, we also have different vibrations on different subjects. We feel a certain way about our work, our spouse, our house, our parents, etc. We have “expectations” around these things that are not always positive. If you are feeling badly about something, you need to clean up your vibration about that subject. This is what Abe means when they say not to put a happy sticker on something. So acknowledge the feelings you have but then move on – clean up your vibration. Get to the point where you are happy about all subjects.

Lastly, you are the only creator of your life. No one else can impact your creation. You can choose to allow others to affect you, but that is your choice. You can just as easily see them differently or not let them affect you at all. No one else needs to do anything for you to be happy. It’s all you. When you clean up your vibration about a certain person, they will change to match.

“A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don’t allow the happy moment, because they’re so busy trying to get a happy life.”

Welcome and enjoy your journey!

Play all day!
