From “Poor Me” to “Through Me”: The Secret to Co-Creating with the Universe

Why You Can Never Go Back to Zero (But You Can Go to Zero)

Earlier this week I shared my story about hitting reset. But the more I reflected, the more I realized something powerful:

We can never truly go back to zero.

And that’s actually a good thing.


The Levels of Consciousness

During Covid, I came across the idea of the four levels of consciousness:

  1. Poor Me – the victim state. Life happens to me. Unfortunately, this is where most people live, often without realizing it.
  2. By Me – the “push” state. Life happens by Me. Decisions, willpower, discipline. Very masculine energy, and very effective… but it edges out flow.
  3. Through Me – co-creation with the Universe. Things align, synchronicities show up, miracles unfold.
  4. As Me – unity consciousness, the deepest level of alignment.

Looking back, I realized I had spent much of my early life in “Poor Me” — and when I broke free from that, I overcorrected straight into “By Me.”

The hustle. The grind. The do it all myself energy.

And even though I had already experienced glimpses of “Through Me” — those effortless flows where the Universe seemed to be working with me — I would still slide back into old patterns. Subconsciously.


Why Resetting Matters

That’s why choosing to reset matters so much.

When I pause and consciously reset, it’s not about “starting over.” Because the truth is, you can’t. Every experience, every skill, every challenge has shaped you. You bring all of that wisdom forward.

But what you can do is return to zero.


The Power of Going to Zero

In Ho’oponopono, “zero” is the space of infinite possibility. Like a whiteboard wiped clean.

Meditation, prayer, journaling — these are ways of tuning back into zero.

From zero, we receive inspired guidance. We reconnect with our higher purpose. We align with the flow of infinite intelligence.

And because we carry our accumulated knowledge and growth with us, each reset doesn’t take us “back to the beginning.” It actually elevates us to a higher level.


Bringing It All Together

So here’s the paradox:

  • You can never go back to zero, because you’ll always carry everything you’ve gained.
  • But you can always go to zero, and from there, rise even higher.

That’s the sweet spot.

Wealth Wednesday Affirmation #005

Wealth Wednesday Affirmation #005

#wealthwednesday affirmation #005

Happy Wealth Wednesday

Today’s Affirmation comes from what I believe at this present time to be the best #moneymindset book on the Market because ….

It looks at money from a whole different perspective than the other Money Mindset books I have read

For the majority of us our Money Mindset is set in us long before we have an awareness it is happening and again for the majority of us, it is not a healthy one in our favour

Just listen to the conversations around you, heck listen to your own conversations about money

They are usually based around lack and they are probably nearly 100% going to be subconscious and that is where the trouble lies.

We are not even aware we are projecting a Vibration of Lack and then wonder why we are always living in lack or live in a little bit of abundance and then slip back into lack without even realising why

The good news is what was programmed into us subconsciously can be reprogrammed “Consciously” by things like saying and writing #affirmations I provide in Wealth Wednesday Affirmations

Some people say Affirmations don’t work which is a self prophesying affirmation in of it’s self and then they wonder why they don’t work

They did work. They just worked to not work if you get my gist.

Anyways ….

Back to #wealthwednesday affirmations

I am not sure if you are aware I followed Inspired Action to start a Linkedin Newsletter called “Amplified Empires” which I also felt Inspired to add to my website, the address which is in the image I provided and in it I ramble about my ideas and beliefs about building a Business Online based around your Passions with some Mindset thrown in

And this Saturdays is all about your gifts and expertise and why we are warranted to serve others with our gained Knowledge and Expertise so I think this affirmation is a good precursor this weeks Newsletter

And talking of precursors, why not head over to my website and read some of the previous editions and start writing and or saying mentally “My Gifts are Of High Value and Worthy of Massive Compensation” on a regular basis like I have Amanda’s book playing in my ear on a regular basis

And if you want your Money Mindset given a massive boost why not grab your own copy and have Amanda’s wisdom running throughout your ears and life by clicking on the title of the book “Rich As FxxK” by Amanda Frances

Until Saturday …

Have a Fabulous Day, Week, Month Life !!

Ali xoxo

Wealth Wednesday Affirmation #003

#wealthwednesday #affirmation

“Hustle and Grind is a bind but Aligned is Divine, I now Attract Money With Grace, Ease & Flow”

Only last night I saw a very Masculine Hustle & Grind kind of post that said “You won’t get much done if you only grind on the days you feel good”

I’ve even seen women post this style of content saying unless you are bleeding out of your eyeballs you have to show up 🥱

These are just beliefs that worked for them and they are passing on to others that make me feel sick 🤮

Recently I heard someone say something that I was more Aligned to about it being ok to maybe only post one piece of content a week or less as long as it felt good and from the heart to you instead of going out in your little metaphorical life boat desperately trying to get clients, be the light house that attracts your Soul Aligned Clients

I know which one I prefer and just out of interest

All of these people are very successful and wealthy in their fields of business proving it is not the Labor but their belief in their own Worthiness

They believe in themselves and that their way is correct because it got them results and deep down they care about people and want them to have success too and that’s why they are trying to sell the thing they believe in

Not to long ago I saw things I desired Manifest into my Life Effortlessly and with Ease and no effort from me apart from the Desire

Understandably it made me stop and think “Hmm? The Hustle and Grind, I inadvertently always revert to causes stress without little results and being in Flow and having Faith in the Yet unseen at some point always Manifests results far more Miraculously than I could have ever imagined. There must be something in this?”

From then on I felt repelled by the Hustle & Grind type of old outdated Mindset

Talking of Grace, Flow and Ease …

Then Regan Hillyer came into my Life who is the epitome of my ideal of Living and Manifesting without Hustle and Grind and she actually uses the terminology “Grace, Ease and Flow” and she is currently ranked in some peoples view as the Worlds No.1 Manifestation Queen

And oh yes, she is a self made Multi-Millionaire and I have no doubt soon to be Billionaire

But you maybe thinking “I Struggle with belief in my own Worthiness, How Will I be Able to Create Wealth?”

Funnily enough Regan has you covered in her monthly program “IGNITE” that has a Self Love Tool Kit inside along with many, many, many other free Training’s included like Activating Abundance and a 5 Day Manifestation Intensive along with a live with Regan Zoom Monthly Activations to help clear limiting beliefs etc

Click on the word “IGNITE” to see how you can make this #wealthwednesday one you start manifesting wealth with ease instead of hustle and grind

Take Ownership of Your Desires Now

Take Ownership of Your Desires Now

“Take ownership of the result before you know the path” ~ Myron Golden

When you want to travel to a destination these days we usually use the browser on our phones and click directions  or go to the Maps App and type in the address and press start

Question? ~ Do you check out the whole route before you start or do you trust that it is going to give you the steps you need before you need them to guide you to the place you want to get to?

Even if you missed a turning because the route is totally unknown to you and you hesitate and think is it this one or the next one. “Dam missed it, missed it.” it will reroute you and still guide you towards your destination

Getting to that destination is the “Result”

GPS only gives you steps not the whole journey at once

It’s the same with a desired outcome. A result we want.

You can set out on the journey without knowing the how

You only need to know the result you want and take the first step and then trust that the next step will show up and the next and the next …

I call it have “Faith in The Yet Unseen”

When it looks like nothing is happening, I have to much evidence from past experience to know miracles show up when I least expect it usually in the most effortless way

But when I overthink it or try and “Fix It” myself it effects my energy and closes off the access to Miracles and Inspiration

When I am 100% focused on my result and have Faith no matter how unrealistic it looks due to current circumstances Inspired Ideas drop in and Inspired Actions steps nudge me.

The right People and the right Circumstances appear seemly out of nowhere but in reality this is the ‘Law of Resonance’ in action

Because I am focused on the result I want I resonate out and energy that Attracts back the right resources I require

A bit like the actions steps to take on a GPS system on our phones to get us to our desired destination but unfortunately most people think they need to know the whole route to take before they start to get a desired result and they get overwhelmed.

Then the fear and doubt set’s in of all the reasons they can’t or it won’t work and they quit before they even start.

Why not try this instead? ….

Truly ask yourself a desired result you would like and take ownership of your desire

Say Yes to Yourself and admit “Yes I would Like this Result in My Life” Regardless what anyone else thinks” (better still don’t even tell anyone your desires)

And admit to yourself I do “NOT” have a scooby doo how I can get this result at this point in time but I know I would like it/want it and just leave it there for a little while ….

Your only job at this point is to take time to revisit that desire at some point every day.

Even if it is only for 30 seconds

Set an alarm on your phone if you have to at a time you know you will get a few seconds to yourself

The alarm time can change daily based on your schedule but the important thing is to spend some time focused on the desired result you would like as often as possible

Nothing else !!!

Get that energy resonating out into the Universe is the most important “Action Step” to take then the path will appear

Don’t put a time line on it. Don’t put a date on it. Time is fake any way. There is only NOW 

Being relaxed and having Faith in the Yet Unseen creates Miracles

Deadlines and Dates create Stress aka Miracle Blocking Energy

So today why not take time to take ownership of a result you would like. You may have to sit with this a while to remember something you truly want then wallow in that result already having happened and “FEEL” the essence of it.

That’s the place to go each day

And if you miss a day. No worries !!

Just acknowledge that you ‘Acknowledge’ that you missed a day and say ‘good job for acknowledging I missed a day’ and make a date for the next day or even better just do it then

Everything and I mean everything adds up. We just have to have Faith in the Yet Unseen

Have I mastered my Money Mindset

As the name says I am The Law of Attraction Lover and I believe it , love it, use it, get it to work for me but Money or should I say Mega Money … Blaaaaa !!! That’s a discription of my stomach rolling over at the thought of it.

I literally told myself I am never gonna get this one to work out for me Baby

Well that’s a positive affirmation right there – Not !

But a few months ago I told myself I will overcome this one if it …. well you know the phrase.

I have read more books than I can calculate before making the decision to kick this sucker to the curb about money mindset but I knew to cure it I couldn’t stop there.

So I continued reading watching, listening, affing (affirmations if you are new to my blog and not aware of my terminologies)

And gradually I have started to feel the fog start to lift and become more and more comfortable around money but not only have I begun to feel comfortable, I have actually felt happy about it and literally eager to pay bills.

Some of it I have got to myself and some thank you Universe, I have been presented with the right materials at the right time.

What do I mean ages ago? For instance about 2 years just around now I heard of Christie Marie Sheldon and what she calls lofty questions. These were working for me well and I was getting positive results but then I manifested a business. See I told you the Law of Attraction has worked for me but that should all be documented in other posts so I won’t go in to it here.

The business was very busy from the very beginning (grateful) and I lost the luxury of having the time to write out my lofty questions but a few weeks ago I was getting a strong compulsion to restart them again and with 24 hours I started to see results

Around the same time I came across Denise Duffield Thomas and her book “Get Rich, Lucky Bitch” and immediately started implementing some of the suggestions combined with the lofty questions

I started logging money coming in, saving, de-cluttering, ditch the dodgy under-ware (you’ll have to listen/read the book 😉 )

I am aware a big part of attracting what you want is feeling and I am becoming better at taking time to read my feelings and I went I started saving it felt good. I also started seeing and increase in my business when I started logging the money coming in.

What was really liberating when I read “Lucky Bee” was Denise admitted she constantly works on her money blocks and we will always have money blocks to work on. Instead of being depressed at this prospect I thought Yeah, I am not broken

I always thought the reason I was never Mega Money abundant was because I was not cured of my money blocks. “I will never be wealthy”

Now I knew I would never be cleared of them and that’s normal and I will always have to work on them. I’m down with that. I can do the work now I know I always have to. I am a personal development junkie – Bring it on !!

Talking of doing the work Denise advises throw anything at it that feels right for you and it doesn’t have to be one practice over another.

Another positive because if you are told something that says you have to do this or you won’t get A, B, or C and you are not getting results with said practice you are going to feel a failure and negative feelings never get good results.

Probably because what I have digested previously I am not a total Dork around money and do have faith around certain financial topics working out ok. One of those is what instigated this blog post …. but first a couple examples.

I set myself a goal for 2019 but recently I was in two minds should I invest in it or not despite it bringing me at least one step closer to my next big dream so I decided to let it go and trust the Universe to show me the answer

Last Friday when I least expected it a series of events happened and then inspired action made me to do something and then I got my answer … and then some.

The ‘Then Some’ was a link to the very thing I wished to achieve this year. Doing a gut check and reading my feelings (Joy) I did it and it cost a lot less than I anticipated

But as Denise predicted I then I had a Blaaa !! gut role because I potentially have a bill coming up that I don’t know the final cost of however “STOP PRESS” my mind almost a second later formed a lofty question that it was ok because I was going to make the money back today. Motivated by this I thought I won’t stop there. Not only am I going to make this back I am going to double it. Wow, Wow, Wow !! Get me.

Not in a position to write it down I said it over and over in my head promising I would write it down when I got in to my shop.

However the shop was crazy busy and I didn’t get a chance to write my lofty question down

No worries because just by thinking it seemed to do the trick and I did in fact not only make the money back that I spent out but I did double it in takings in my shop.

This made me very excited not to mention happy and I swore from now on when I get a gut a role I am going to focus on my abundance and belief in attracting more than whatever it was I have to pay out.

One habit I have adopted for a while is saying/writing affirmations about gratefully paying for any service or product I desire or require and that I always have enough money for it, as if validation of this and my actions the other day, yesterday while trying to listen to a Podcast that wouldn’t play it instead started playing a podcast by Mindvalley when someone totally new to me Ramit Sethi was being interviewed.

Ramit very early in the podcast spoke of when someone boasts about finding a loophole not to pay for a service etc ie Taxes (bill with the unknown amount awaiting to pay) they are projecting a scarcity mindset. He said if you are in business you have things to pay out, taxes, pay an accountant etc. Get over it.

Because of material digested a long time ago I had shifted my mindset on getting a cleaner, paying someone to cut the grass, do your taxes etc because when you pay them for their services and skill set it frees you up to earn money doing what you are good at to pay them and create an income for them. Win, win so I totally got what Ramit was saying and it took me back to my behaviour and lofty question when I paid for the service this past Saturday morning where I overrode the Blaaa !! feeling with my abundant mindset action and then Ramit said a quote that made me go “I’m having that. That is going in to my journal.

“Abundant People Realise Their Future Is Brighter Than Their Past”    

I said previously that while not being a millionaire (yet) sometimes I can hold a belief something will work out and despite practically having zero in the bank when the subject came up (numerous times) my partner would keep reminding me “You’re going to need money in your account in January you know to pay your tax bill” (Thank you for reminding me Dad – again)

I have a small physical craft business while thankfully popular and keeping me afloat as soon as I build up a bit of money I would need to buy stock and materials so while a looming tax bill would look daunting for some reason I had Faith it would all be alright but I would just acknowledge my partners concerns not wanting to express my belief as he openly admits he doesn’t get my Woo Woo.

Well to make this long story longer Christmas was insane in my business giving me some surplus money that I have been keeping towards my taxes and potentially making everything indeed ok and this morning I got a telephone call from my Accountant asking could I meet to go over a couple things

Despite my belief that everything would be alright as Denise predicted I did gulp down an old money block feeling that wanted to say “Hello”

Right you pesky money block time we tango’d. So I put an alarm on my phone to stop and have lunch while writing lofty questions before the meeting to put me in a better frame of mind and I even used the quote above as I entered the reception (throw anything at it malarky)

Well the news was far better than I antisipated and when it was suggested to pay a contribution to an annual fee that I am not obligated to do in my current position but has productive benefits for me in the long run I found myself saying “Yes” and asking payment methods

I found the new abundant mindset ‘Me’ wanted to pay for the service provided ASAP knowing my future is brighter than my past

I even caught myself smiling as I went back to my shop, thinking well that went well and I actually feel happy.

Hang on, have I finally changed my money mindset

If I can do it, anyone can do it

Happy Song List 17/02/2016

I have to be honest dear friends I really didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. Not because I was sad or not wanting to face the day but because it was so cosy and warm and I was saying positive affirmations and Gratitudes while I was laying there and I didn’t want to stop but when I pressed the play button and this beautiful gem started playing it was ok and I floated out of bed.

No. 1 = Louis Armstrong – Wonderful World 

This is a beautiful Video to accompany the song that truly emphasises the meaning. I always loved this song because the most loving peaceful beautiful soul that I have ever met on this planet loved Louis Armstrong and played this to me as a child as well as playing his own trumpet. Unfortunately my uncle developed cancer and was taken far too early. It was my first experience of death but even in death he was gracious and he said with a smile “It’s OK kid, I get to play with Louis now”. 

No. 2 = Shalamar – There it is 

This song makes me feel soooooo young as I recall floating across the dance floor week after week while it was in the charts ‘Pop pickers’ and I might have had a little crush on Jeff Daniels as I watched him float across the floor on Top of The Pop’s. If you think MJ was the king of moonwalking if you have some free time have a quick search for Shalamar on YouTube 😀

No. 3 = Kool & The Gang – Get Down on It

How you gonna do it with your back up against the wall? It’s a bit like life. If you don’t get your back off the wall, take a chance and dance across the floor of life and get down on it how ya gonna know what you can achieve.

Let’s all get down on it today and give life our all while still taking time to see what a wonderful world it is.

Freaky Friday

Marvellous Monday, Tremendous Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Phenomenal Thursday (OK I know it doesn’t start with a T but it rhymes) Freaky Friday and so it continues Sensational Saturday

The other day sat at a Red stop light (where Wayne Dyer says you can meditate and I’ve been trying) I gave myself a mental pat on the back for the fact that changing my thoughts and therefore my beliefs is becoming a daily practice something I realized when I first read The Secret was where I was going wrong. The type of mental work I am doing it not consistent as in, it’s not a religious daily practice of certain behaviours but there is daily practice of something. Usually last thing at night and first thing in the morning before rising, spattered with what ever randomness that is going on in my head during the day.

Over recent weeks seeing ourselves as physical tuning forks vibrating at a certain frequency depending on our thoughts and therefore hitting likewise vibrating circumstances that we draw to ourselves via those thoughts has been resonating with me (boom boom !!) I even made a picture of tuning forks as my laptop wallpaper to remind me to keep my thoughts good.

“As a man thinketh, in his heart so is he”

                                                                                                            by James Allen

 

Last week I blogged that I had allowed myself to fall into an overwhelming negative situation at work and how brilliant it felt to say “stop” and take action. Now it has come into my awareness I have taken responsibility for it. I have taken responsibility that I needed to change my thoughts for a more desirable set of circumstances and respect myself so I have been affirming in my head that “I Am a worthy person and deserve respect”. I have also been drawn to revisit old material I had read in the early days of discovery The Law of Attraction/Quantum Field. This week it was “Ask and it is Given” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. I Am only a few days in but something else that resonated with me was that we were/are meant to live joyous lives so I have also affirming “I Am living Joy” as frequently as I can remember and when faced with a situation or person that makes my belly role (Fear, Anxiety and Doubt your fired remember) I reaffirm it.

Well !!! ………………………………………………………………………….

A member of staff who thought last week could use me as his bitching board sent me a very nice unexpected email offering support to arrange some training I Am putting into place. (Good feeling inside).

For some random reason thought about a boy I recently Inducted who I had to let go because the job was not for him and I hoped he was alright and the next day he was in the bank and he went out of his way to say hello and gave me a beautiful smile so I Am guessing he’s OK and doing well. (Good Feeling).

Stunning morning driving to work but windscreen/shield unexpectedly misted up and I drove badly as I manically tried to see and find the demister button at the same time to be faced with my neighbour who I nearly drove into. Feeling bad I hoped I’d have the opportunity to apologize for poor driving skills and later coming home popped in local shop to pick up some milk and the neighbours were going in also. apology made (Felt better).

Unexpectedly a colleague I normally get on with came into the office and spoke to me in a disrespectful way and instantly and effortlessly words fell out of my mouth that weren’t in an aggressive manner but letting them know in any uncertain terms .. you don’t speak to me like that. The situation could have been one of those that turn me into the subdividing cell again but I knew I’d had done everything correctly and I will not be pulled away from my task in hand because of a failure of communication on other peoples parts. My instincts told me to approach the over seeing manager for advise instead of acting irrationally. Now this person, shall I say has not a favourable reputation with other members of staff but labels aside my gut said discuss it with them and I did. This person said leave it with them and a short time later the disrespectful colleague came back and said “apparently I have upset you, I haven’t upset you have I?” and I replied honestly “Yes actually you did” They explained the stress they were under and the lack of communication they had experienced but I pointed out that none of that was my fault and that I appreciated the situation they were in but that didn’t give them the right to take it out on me. I emailed the Manager and thanked them for their help in this matter (It felt good).

In my personal relationship my opinion has felt undervalued by comments my partner has been making and last night a conversation ensued whereby I was able to point out in a non hostile situation these recent comments, that when harboured had made me feel bad and resentful and when expressed as not acceptable – felt good.

The strange thing is the way I conducted myself in these above situations when the circumstances came about happened in a subconscious way that appeared to fall out of me as if directed by the non-physical part of me, that I know inherently was simply by making the decision to change my thoughts, setting some personal boundaries and saying a few affirmations in my head. It indicates to me the immense personal power we truly do have at our fingertips and to Freakishly confirm this another set of circumstances literally made me go “Whoa !! wait a minute”:

I Am a complete book whore, I admit it and have admitted it before. I jump from one text to another all week long and another thing that has resonated with me along with ‘Ask and it is Given/ Ask, believe, Receive’ and tuning forks is the quote from the bible “I Am that I Am and that some conformist religions of which I Am not a fan as I have previously blogged I cannot feel comfortable with a belief in a God that judges and segregates and yesterday (Friday) I had a meeting with a colleague over a couple issues that had come up during the week to discuss there completion. When I first went to work at this company seeing this persons name on the Company Structure did make my stomach role slightly as they were the only name I recognized and they did have a bit of a hard man reputation but as it turns out, perfect example of not putting ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’ labels on things we probably have the closest working relationship, has been the most supportive and have has some freaky conversations over my period with the company (one that instigated me to buy them a copy of Anita Moorjani’s book – ‘Dying to be Me’). The meeting went off on a bit of a tangent about different cultural and belief systems within the various nationalities within our company and his own wife’s religious beliefs and again misinterpretation of scriptures. So I said funny you should say that, I’ve been reading about that recently and the phase “I Am that I Am “ and that it is actually saying that we are equally capable of anything Jesus is said to have done but religious misinterpretation has lead us to, in some cases to create and  follow a judgemental man like image of God then later when I got home I was finding it difficult to concentrate so decided to go on-line to find something to listen to, to relax. First I see a post by Ricky Gervais (‘Derek’ – best bit of TV writing, in my eyes ever)

then I just randomly click on a post in the recommended for you list on You-tube and watch this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKwo-D9UpWA

Well after that, there is no mistaking that I Am one big mass of vibrational energy because every molecule of my physical being was vibrating.
