Happiness is an Inside Job

25 Oct

dalai-lama-quotes-2

 

Years ago in Britain there was an advert for some sweets that challenged you not to chew them claiming it was impossible to eat one of the juicy, fruity treats without chewy it.

In Pam Grouts new book E:Cubed part of the first experiment suggests putting on some happy music first thing in the morning. I have done this but not wanting to wake my partner I sneak into the bathroom with my iPhone and some headphones I keep next the bed and dance like a loon to Pharrell Williams “Happy”.

The other day as I drove to work I heard a song on the radio that I hadn’t heard for a long time as the only time I have ever heard it was in the film “Beatlejuice” so I downloaded it to listen to any time I want.

This morning (Saturday) and my partner already gone to work. Instinct made me leap out of bed and play this song as I made the bed.

Like the sweety challenge I defy you to listen to this song and not at least tap your toe.

The other night I watched a program about Happiness in Britain. The prequel to this was they were discussing it on the local evening news and asking people to Tweet etc in their thoughts.

One person tweeted how they find it ridiculous and impossible to be happy and relaid a catalogue of negative issues they had been dealing with while another listed all the things they were grateful for like, family, home etc.

Abraham Hicks says if we give our attention to something for as little as 17 seconds its is already offering a vibration and Law of Attraction kicks in. If you give something your attention for 17 seconds and another within as little as 68 seconds it can show up in your experience.

So for the person who was obviously focused on negative issues predominately of course they were going to think happiness is ridiculous but they could turn their whole life around in 68 seconds and a happy song is a lot longer than that so we ALL have the opportunity to turn our whole lives around in the time it takes to play one track.

The other day I read something the Dalai Lama said that Happiness is an inside job. I couldn’t agree more but so many of us rely on outside situations to make us happy but when in reality we can create happiness regardless of outside appearances.

So I dare you “Jump in the Line” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feeling a bit Woo Woo !!

18 Oct

IMG_5343 (1)

 

It’s been a long time since I have blogged because I have been lucky enough to have recently spent two long leisurely weeks on a Greek Island.

On the Plane out I eagerly started reading Pam Grouts new book E:Cubed that I had stifled myself from reading, saving it for my holiday but as soon as I landed all thoughts of it evaporated. I did makes some notes to myself on the plane that my first readings provoked but they too were lost in the mist of Cosmo’s and Kleftiko and on my return it has been quite a struggle to reconnect with my Pre-holiday self ….. but maybe I Am not meant too ………………….. maybe she has gone ??????????

I have been starting to reconnect with some of my newly forged habits, like listening to YouTube video’s on the way to work and reading Inspirational Fact instead of fiction but the content is slightly different.

Early on in the holiday I was laying on a sun bed when I had a strange feeling. I started to perceive people’s energy fields that were lying around me. Surrounding by all these new strangers (in physical form) I could sense who emanated a good/positive/negative/aggressive vibe. Despite various alien languages to me the tones of their voices or conversation appeared to confirm the feeling of their energy.

I didn’t pursue this feeling, just purely acknowledged is existence but at the same time the experience never really left me. Sitting there quietly inside me saying “remember the time you could feel the people on the beach”.

When I got back and felt disconnected I asked the Universe in guidance of what I should do next and instinct said click on a certain YouTube video and via that Video clip I was introduced to Penney Piece who was discussing vibration and instinct etc. I didn’t get to finish listening to the video on that occasion but picked it up the next day and when it did finish I still had time available to listen to more material but without my glasses on I poked at the next video below and on came the familiar voice of Ester Hicks articulating Abraham.

Now back in 2010 when I learned of the Law of Attraction, Abraham-Hicks was my next big thing. I used to have a habit of visiting my favourite book store (pre Kindle and iPad) and locating myself in the Spiritual /Self Help Section and letting my eyes roam over the shelves and trust my instincts to highlight the books I needed to see and on one particular occasion for some reason I ignored my instincts until the book kept knocking on my door saying “Hello !! You Should read me” and it was “Ask and It is Given”.

I have listened to several Abraham-Hicks YouTube vids over the last few days as well as downloading various sample copies of Penney Pieces books and the advise I am getting is all about energy and vibration and linking in to it and our’s and keeping it high regardless of the situation.

At the weekend I was very anxious at returning to my current employment after being away from it for several weeks. I had a feeling of foreboding however I read recently but via whom it escapes me someone meeting a remarkable women whose mantra is three or two little words depending how you wish to pronunciate it , which are “It’s OK” so taking this when ever I have felt anxiety rise in me I repeat silently to myself “It’s OK”. I took something else from another book I read recently “Love yourself Like Your Life depends on it” by Kamal Ravikant via reading James Altucher’s book “Choose Yourself” and repeat “I Love Myself” over and over again when ever I feel self-deprecating thoughts. So armed with “It’s OK” and “I Love Myself” along with concentrating on keeping my vibration high regardless on the situation I have come out of my first week back at paid employment unscathed and actually on a high, so maybe my conscious efforts emanated a positive energy vibration from myself that touched others around me and they couldn’t help but replicate the same back to me.

What I am feeling now is slightly Woo Woo and an inner knowing that educating myself far more deeply than I have ever taken the time to do before on the subject of energy fields and our actual effects on it is the next stage in my physical evolution.

Don’t wait – Do it NOW !!

04 Sep

Don--t-Wait--The-Time-Will-Never-Be-Just-Right----Napoleon-Hill

 

Back in 2010 when I first came across the terminology ‘Law of Attraction’ I had a book title come in to my head but the book contents would consist of me making myself an experiment and then logging and proving a principle before publishing.

It has always been sitting there but I have never invested enough time in the experiment because of various obstacles or the time is obviously not right and every idea has the right time etc etc etc.

Well the right time appeared to be Now as over the past few days a sequence of events have occurred and thoughts and information are just falling into my head from the ether and it is feeling effortless and Buzzy !!

Last night instinct said ‘See if anyone else has published a book under this title?’

And they had ….

previously (Prior 2010) this would have probably been enough to stop me in my tracks but no longer. I just have to ask for another title. The Universe didn’t disappoint, a few minutes later another title came to me and I think it may be better.

Checking out the information of the book with the original same title I found a Facebook page that was started in January 2014 and the book isn’t even written yet, says coming summer 2014 but I couldn’t find any evidence of a copy yet but what it did teach me was not to procrastinate in future.

As Napoleon Hill wrote above “Don’t wait the time will never be just right”

Learn by my lesson learnt and Don’t wait … Whatever you’ve dreaming of doing, don’t delay. Do it Now .. before somebody else does.

I’m just winding up Baby !!

26 Aug

567572_15865433_lz

 

I Am approaching 50, well in less than two years and several people I know have recently passed this milestone and what I have noticed is their conversation content.

One is constantly referring to limitations they believe they have and always contribute it to ‘Well you know I am 50 now’

Another is consciously looking on the internet for a bungalow as we call it in England which means the proverbially one storey house for ‘in your old age accommodation when you can’t manage the stairs’ and I have actually heard them say this is why they are looking and say ‘Well you got to start thinking about these things’.

I listen to their conversations. Their subconscious speak and It’s like they are all winding down or as the excellent sitcom we used to have in the UK was titled. They have one foot in the grave.

I have read self-help books etc since the late 90’s but it wasn’t until I read The Secret in 2010 that I realised I never put any of it into practice.

Since then I have digested every piece of material I can get my hands on and make daily rituals to enhance my life and change my ‘Biology’ (Bruce Lipton) styley.

I aim to focus on what I do what as much as possible instead of what I don’t want, to bring it ever closure to me and I am daily grateful for the smallest thing to the biggest thing.

I have a goal list but I don’t obsess about it because the how it comes to me is none of my business. I just keep the Faith and try following any guidance, gut feelings etc I get.

And talking of which, one thing I know I placed on a list and I visualise doing is to stay in 4 star plus accommodation and this weekend out of nowhere my partner suggested taking a city break. I researched some hotels and found a stunning 4 star Hotel cheaper than most of the lower end chains we usually use.

When we booked, it had the option to upgrade on check in if a better room was available. My partner said what the hell click on it. I wasn’t registering what I was doing or what was happening at the time. When we checked in they said they could see we have opted for the optional upgrade for a nominal fee. We agreed and happily took our key and looked for our room number.

We paced the floor a bit puzzled because we saw the number below and the number above and above and above. We decided to back track and retrace our steps when I spotted what looked faintly like our room number on a massive arched double door which obviously we hadn’t taken in to consideration. Yes this was our door, our door to our luxury suite !!!

It wasn’t until the following morning waking up that it struck me. I Am staying in the type of accommodation I looked longingly at pictures of on the internet and I had on my list and visualised over.

Boom !! Tick another manifestation off the list.

My life is getting better and better and I have only just started.

I’m not winding down. I Am winding up Baby !!

I AM Changing

22 Aug

I may not have manifested riches or written the book I dream of doing or a lot of my dreams for that matter but I have changed and I like the changes that have occurred.

I don’t watch soap operas any more because I don’t class personal tragedy and an unbearable amount of screaming entertainment.

I don’t watch TV show’s like “The Great British Bake Off” of “Master Chef”. Not that I am saying there is anything wrong with these TV shows but for me I don’t find show’s where people strive for the approval of ‘Experts’ enjoyable and watch them be crushed by their critique.

There always seem to a buzz word in my life at any one time and currently that word is “Perception”.

I mute out TV conversation or Polls that request a debate on someone’s life etc where one person says “Your wrong, I am right” and the other person says “No I am right, your wrong” or make judgements on situations that have nothing to do with them.

The other day I watched a program about submission into the Royal Academy Summer Show in London. One person had tried repeatedly over an unimaginable amount years to be accepted by a board. A board which consisted of a panel of people and their own personal perceptions of what is ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’. ‘Acceptable’ or ‘Not Acceptable’. Another person who I felt (my perception) had a seriously good talent would only believe that they were a good artist if the RA accepted their work.

Seeing people not loving their-selves or accepting their-selves unless someone else does makes me curl up a bit inside so I zone out of these types of viewing.

I tuned into another program that had Art in the title where I saw someone crush a young hopeful artist by telling them that one of the pieces was probably the worst things they have ever seen. Again another perception but thinking about the different types of Art I have seen in my time in the most famous art galleries in the world another person’s perception maybe that, this is the best piece of art they have ever seen but maybe too late. Because this young hopeful artist has been told it is the worst thing ever viewed their confidence may have been crushed and they may never produce another piece of art again and what could have been a promising career is no longer due to one persons perception.

I have let opportunities go because I lacked confidence in my ability and I held other people’s perceptions and opinion in my work higher than my own.

No longer !! And I credit my change in ‘Perception’ by finding and reading the book ‘The Secret’ and all the material I have read and listened to since.

I am literally a different person. A happy, grateful, calmer, relaxed, almost fearless person – bonus !!

It’s all a matter of perception

22 Aug

video_games_quotes_grayscale_wisdom_motivational_perception_antichamber_m28320

 

Perception has been my buzz word this week.

Someone I know despite me trying to cheer them up and see the blessings in situations surprise surprise always has a new terrible tragedy to relay recently told of someone they knew who has had a life changing challenge to face literally over night and discussed their incredible attitude towards the situation. Despite it happening to the other person who was being proactive and has to live with the situation my friend was becoming emotional and upset at the thought of it happening to their friend and as they relaid what they had they said to their friend it was almost like they were trying to talk their friend round to their way of thinking and see it as something tragic instead of facing it in their positive manner like doing that was the most ridiculous thing possible.

This reminded me of who my  heroes are. My Hero’s are:

Viktor Frankl for despite being imprisoned in two of the most horrendous concentration camps in history Auschwitz and Dachau and losing his family in these camps chose to believe despite the most inhuman or painful a situation there was always meaning in it and in life.

Another Hero is Martine Wright who see’s losing her legs in 7/7 a blessing because without this happening she wouldn’t have been able to compete in the 2012 Olympics and I was also very inspired similarly by watching a TV program where a man whose name I do not have to hand but I have written about previously lost limbs in Afghanistan and found a love of cycling that he felt wouldn’t have happened without this experience and described only having one down day because there were other people in the same hospital who hand lost both arms and both legs so he felt blessed to only have lost his legs.

I have more Hero’s. Immaculee Ilibagiza who hid in a bathroom for three months to avoid being murdered during the Rwandan Holocaust of 1995. Louis Zamperini who defied the odds and survived on a raft beyond what was classed as humanly possible because he refused to believe the statistics and then when found was imprisoned in a Japanese prisoner of war camp but still held Faith and hope and created recipes and visualized the food he would cook on his release.

And Louise Hay is my first Hero who despite experiencing  dreadful abuse used it and brought peace to millions with her books helped me in so many ways and started Hay House at 60 which inspires me everyday, it is never to late.

I see quotes on Facebook etc by people like Wayne Dyer advising how to see the beauty in things and people actually comment that people like Wayne make it sounds so easy BUT comment how can they be positive because of this, this and this and none of it they state is stopping them from being grateful is anywhere near as terrible as what some of these situations the people above went through but yet they remain victims and concentrate on how terrible their life is ….. And guess what? as The Law of Attraction states what you focus on you attract so the “vicious” circle continues.

If my Hero’s can experience these, what most people would consider as nightmare situations and come out still being positive and loving there is nothing on earth, literally nothing we have to be sad about.

It is literally a choice to perceive it as good or bad and that’s a choice we can change in a heartbeat.

From this day forward there are no bad days

27 Jul

My life has been particularly challenging of late but every day I awake with renewed vigour and tell myself today is full of miracles however another challenge rear’s its head but at the same time materials keep appearing that support me and remind me that even successful people have challenges the difference is ……….. they don’t give up.

Despite these challenges repeatedly appearing deep down inside I feel there is a purpose and the Universe has got my back.

Yesterday I felt I should be doing one thing but was drawn to doing other stuff and then it struck me if I do what I feel I should be doing rather than what I want to do the should stuff will have negative energy attached to it and I will be transmit that out into the ether so I decided to go with what attracted me in the present moment and one of those present moment thoughts was to chill in the exceptionally unusual British summer weather in the garden with a cold drink and listen to some inspirational material on YouTube.

Instinct made me choose a video I saved a few days earlier by Les Brown and while the whole video was incredible and again advising to carry on regardless or in Les’s words “It’s not over until you win”. The other thing that struck me like a sledge-hammer was next time you are having a bad day, don’t say you are having a bad day, say you are having a character building day.

So from this day forward I only have good days and character building days, so come of life bring on your challenges cos it ain’t over until I win !!!!!!!!

Is it collective negative consciousnesses fault ??

06 Jul

Yesterday prior to the start of the Tour De France I watched on TV how they literally catalogued all the Sporting downfalls suffered by the Brits this year.

Cricket to World Cup and Wimbledon.

I also read (what I have read several times before in different books) there is a possibility the Great Depression could have been avoided if it wasn’t for the collective negative consciousness at the time.

Could people focusing on fear and doubt and speculated and calculated accounts in the press only escalated the negative down turn?

As I mentioned earlier I read this a long time ago and it has always played on my mind, could our recent economic downturn been avoided if there wasn’t so much focus from the media etc ‘how we were all going to hell in a hand cart’?

The two presenters jokingly quirked how the Prime Minister David Cameron was to believed to be rocking up to the Grande Depart as all hopes were out for other events. They joked he went to the World Cup but obviously were out of that but then he went to Wimbledon but now Andy Murray is out of that so I believe he’s coming to the Tour de France.

I jeered at my TV (you know I’m not the only one …. I’m not the only one am I? Oh who cares !! any way) “Hey guys cut it out, jinx it why don’t you !!!

Well now, unfortunately it is all history and Mark Cavendish is out of the Tour De France.

2197925397

I won’t deny I am gutted but as Mark humbly refers to in his Guardian interview he has friends returning from Afghanistan or who have lost limbs so compared to that not having excruciatingly exciting sprint finishes to watch is small fry.

And there’s always next year !!

But just a warning guys because as I have read in “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen this morning “A person is limited only by the thoughts he chooses” or as T D Jakes said on Super Soul Sunday “I Am no greater than the thoughts I think”.

article-2681469-1F6C271300000578-683_964x1272

So lets have a ‘Collective Consciousness of unlimited potentiality’ and believe that Everything is Possible, especially greatness in everything we put our attention on. After all it all a case of perception. Something is only good or bad because we label it that way.

I am not rubbish at it !!

30 Jun

I get I’ve got what I’ve got by the quality of my thoughts.

I get that if I don’t like what I’ve got, change my thoughts.

I get that you have to focus on what you do want, not what you don’t want.

I get you have to imagine already having received what you want.

I get that visualization is the key.

And I get that I am rubbish at visualising

Well I thought I was, when the Universe gave me this gift.

 

If you can visualise and orange you can visualise Everything

Passion for Passions sake

09 Jun

 

The other day I brought all my art materials together inspired by the fact my daughter has kindly given me the project of designing her wedding dress.

Art materials

I was pleasantly surprised at some of the little doodles I had found in my many part completed sketchbooks and created an album on Facebook called Art for Arts sake.

Some samples of the things I found

Image-1 (1) Image-1 (4) Image-1 (5)

Image-1 (7) Image-1 (13) Image-1 (14) Image-1 (15) Image-1

 I have now made a commitment to do something artistic everyday, however small and even if it is for 5 minutes.

Six months ago I was desperate to get out of paid employment and was searching for ideas of making money and becoming self-employed. An opportunity came in my direction and I started utilising every available second and investing in this project. I was doing this secretly as I knew my partner would not understand. Strangely my always busy partner was becoming less and less busy and quite often home around the same time as me and even before me which was making it impossible to invest time in my secret squirrel project. This was beginning to cause me anxiety and anything that causes me anxiety causes me anxiety because my requisite is to be happy as often as I possibly can.

I decided to accept the situation for what it is and not fight it and instead actively look for the Path of Least resistance.

Art for Art’s sake. Bliss for Bliss sake.

Yesterday I listened to the attached link:

Kim Thuy, wow what a shiny example of Gratitude and Happiness to us all and how to live on the Path of Least Resistance

unusually today my partner is having to stay away over night for work and I have been excited in some ways of what am I going to do with this free time. One thing I knew I wasn’t going to do is pressurize myself into doing something I feel I should be doing. I was going to ‘Let go and Let God’ guide me.

And God/The Universe guided me to the canvasses I have laid out in our conservatory. Canvasses that I painted for Art for Art’s sake but look like they will be hanging in my second daughters flat (apartment).

3 blissful hours flew by like 3 minutes until the light faded and whilst there I listened to productive material on YouTube from my phone and from both audio’s the main thing I picked out was do what you are passionate about. Well I am passionate about art, I am passionate about writing and passionate about self-development and while painting I was stopping occasionally to write inspirational notes I was gaining from the self-development audio’s on to my iPad so I was ticking all my passion boxes at once and living my bliss – good job !!

The last audio I listened to was this, something I aim to live by but no harm in being reminded just what we can be grateful for:

I then went to wash my brushes and whilst washing my brushes I got a true Eckhart Tolle moment of being here Now. I was totally tuned into the silence of the evening, broken occasionally by the sound of wood pigeons which I love anyway. I could smell the evening air and the feeling of the warm water and the sensation of the brush hairs between my fingers. Right then, being wealthy, being self-employed didn’t matter at all. Right then my life couldn’t get more perfect.

I was doing what I love and loving what I do – I was doing my passion for passion’s sake
