100 Things I'd Like To Have People Say About Me

A few months back, a friend told me of a really empowering process called 100 Things You Would Like People to Say About You.

I thought this was such a beautiful process and a wonderful idea because it really gets you focused on the person you want to be and it puts you in the feeling place of being that person. I encourage you to take some time and do this process because I think it can bring great clarity and power to the ideal vision we have for ourselves.

My friend did not mention the blog name where he found this process so unfortunately I am not able to reference the blog name at this time but if you know which one it is please e-mail me or list it in the comments section.

Here are some of the things I'd like to have people say about me:

1. She's the real deal, one of the most authentic people I know
2. A deliberate creator
3. I always feel better when I am around her
4. She has the coolest job
5. She shows me what is possible in life
6. Is my best friend
7. I trust her
8. She lives every day of her life

10. Is a multi-millionaire
11. She loves her dogs and takes wonderful care of them
12. Is such a warm, kind, generous and genuine person

Segment Intending

My day is so much better when I take time to segment intend. Segment intending helps me stay on track with what I desire for my life. I like the feeling of being deliberate about what happens instead of creating by default and then reacting to the outcome.

For the past week or so I have not been segment intending and boy does it show. It all started from not doing it one day when I was feeling tired and it just snowballed from there.

Tonight, I went to my nephew's spaghetti dinner and Bingo night at his school. They were doing this as a fundraiser for their class trip to NASA. I arrived in a frustrated mood. I was 15 minutes late and the line was long. My brother came over and stood with me in line and I noticed that right away I started complaining but then I started noticing the excitement of the kids around me and I thought, I'd like to feel like they do. I saw my nephew. He was so excited, especially about the Bingo game and that sealed the deal for me!

Seeing my nephew and his fellow classmates along with their families made me realize that I could either keep complaining or I could choose to start a new segment-one that was fun and that focused on having an enjoyable evening with my family.

All it takes is a new thought to turn things around!

A Visual Representation

Something interesting just happened to me as I was waiting in the speedy checkout line at Walmart.

The speedy line wasn't very speedy and I was getting very irritated at how long it was taking. In my mind I was really complaining about the situation and about how slow the cashier was being when all of a sudden something happened that turned my attention to the front of the line.

The lady that was being checked out was yelling at the cashier for being so slow and was really making a scene. When she was finished yelling at the cashier she turned her attention to the manager. I watched the lady make a scene and I also watched the cashier. You could tell the cashier was embarrassed and uncomfortable, which by the way, did not help her move the line any quicker; in fact she was visibly shaken and ended up pushing some wrong buttons when checking out the next person which delayed the line even more.

I'm embarrassed to say that the lady making all the fuss was saying all the things I was thinking and was acting out how I was feeling and it wasn't pretty and it definitely wasn't in alignment with the person I want to be. That visual representation provided an opportunity for me to see my thoughts acted out on the external level and made me realize that was not the kind of person I wanted to be. It reminded me that we have the power to shape the situations in our life instead of just reacting to them. I had the choice to either add to the cashiers embarrassment and discomfort or be kind and offer uplifting words and encouragement. I decided on kindness because that's how I would want to be treated and it's in alignment with the person I want to be.

How are you choosing to shape the situations in your life? Do you uplift or tear down? Are you being the person you want to be?

So Thankful

I have had a lovely day today. I had lunch with my brother and his family and my sister-in-law's family. It was so nice - great food, wonderful people, and as always, a warm and loving environment. I'm so thankful to have them all in my life. It started sleeting so I came home early because I prefer not to drive in cold, wet weather. It's evening now and I am settled in for the night. I'm in my new warm winter pajamas drinking a big mug full of coffee and doing what I love most in the world - writing.

I've been writing about what I'm thankful for and there is so much for me to be thankful for. I've already written three pages in my gratitude journal and I see no signs of stopping. It also feels really good to focus on what's working in my life and all the wonderful things, people and experiences that make my life the amazing life that it is. I'm so appreciative of every single thing that is in my life, even the experience of jealousy.

Writing in my gratitude journal and reading some Abraham Hicks quotes has helped me feel better about experiencing jealousy. This situation only happens when my life starts to feel dull and aimless and it only feels dull and aimless when I'm not deliberate about what I want to experience.

I will read about or see a person on TV who is having the experiences I want to have and sometimes I will feel a tinge of jealousy. I get amused now when jealousy pops in for a visit because I now know what to do with that feeling - I welcome it.

Welcoming it gives me the wonderful opportunity to focus on what I want instead of what I feel is lacking. I realize that there is nothing that another person has or is experiencing that I cannot have. We are all deliberate creators and their having the experience is showing me what's possible in my own life. I remind myself that there is nothing that I cannot be, do or have.

Whatever they are experiencing means that they are a vibrational match to it and if I'm not experiencing it means that I'm not a vibrational match to it. I am the only one that can close the vibrational gap to experiencing my desires.

Focusing on what I want to experience and how I want to feel will help shift my vibration, moving me effortlessly in my desired direction thereby closing the gap between what I want and the manifestation of it.

I am abundant and deserving of every good thing, as are all other beings in the Universe. If I find other peoples lives interesting and exciting and find my own life dull and lacking then who's fault is that? It's my life, my choice, my focus.

Abraham-Hicks says "In your neediness you repel, in your completeness you attract." So true, so very true. I have felt lacking as of late but am now back on my desired path. I also love this Abe quote, "You are the vibrational writers of the script of your life and everyone else in the Universe is playing the part you have assigned to them." What a freeing thought that is.

Are you writing your own script or allowing others to write it for you?

On track?

Boy have I felt off track lately.

I've been experiencing a lot of negativity regarding my finances and my job situation. Upon further reflection I've noticed that my thoughts have been focused on things not working out the way I want. Suffice it to say that this way of thinking is now causing me to experience situations that make me feel limited and restricted in what I feel I can do. I want to stay at home and work as a freelance writer but I'm afraid I won't have the financial resources to do it.

See, the thing is I love working from home. I love the freedom it brings. I can stay up all night writing if I want and I don't have to worry about going to work the next day. I can keep the creativity flowing for as long as I want. I can meet friends for lunch, go to yoga class during the day if I like, spend the day shopping and still write. I can write anywhere and I'm never without a notebook and at least half a dozen pens. I like to record my thoughts, feelings, fears, experiences, insights, etc. I love writing about my life and exploring my life questions; I gain so much clarity and inspiration by doing so. This is not to say that I can't work a regular job and write too but if we are talking about what I really want then that would be to work as a freelance writer.

So, I've got some fear that I won't be able to stay home and write full-time for much longer. That thought doesn't feel very good to me. I want to feel better about all of this but I also want whatever I do to feel real. What can I do to bring myself into closer vibrational alignment with what I want?

I can follow my heart which tells me to do what brings me the greatest joy and I can stay focused on what I want instead of what I don't want. I can relax and enjoy the fact that as of right now I do have the financial resources to work from home. And I can know that everything I desire will come to me in the perfect time as long as I keep myself in a state of allowing.

On second thought I think I just veered off my path and now I'm right on track again.

Still Going Strong

Believe it or not I am still clearing clutter from my house. I have made a lot of progress but the process still continues. It amazes me that one person can accumulate so much junk! I have found boxes that have never been opened since I moved into my house in 2001. At one point I just started laughing at the absurdity of it all.

I have junk piled up in almost every room in my house. My closet if full of clothes and shoes that I don't wear anymore. Why have I kept these things for so long? They no longer fit me so why hold on to them?

I have five years of paperwork that need to either be filed or shredded. I wonder why I didn't make the decision to keep or shred at the time I received the paperwork? Now I'm going through five years of paperwork and the majority of it are things I would have shredded to begin with. I guess at the time it was easier for me to put it in a box and deal with it later. Well, it's later and this is much more work than it needed to be. It would have been much easier to make a decision - yes I need this, it would be beneficial to keep or no this is not needed and keeping it would just take up space that could be used for something else. Doing so would have definitely made things easier.

I decided to sort out a little at a time as to not get too overwhelmed. I wanted to make sure that I made room for the things I decided to keep. I didn't want them going back into a box to be dealt with later. This has made for a slower but more thorough sort out.

One high point was finding some old journals. It's always so interesting to go back and read through old journals and notebooks. I found one from a few years back that listed several things I wanted to do like be a part of a spiritual group of like-minded people, be more authentic in my life, work in a non-structured work environment, etc. All I am happy to say are things I am currently doing. I am an organizer for a Law of Attraction group, I am living authentically, and I am beginning work as a freelance writer.

It's so nice to see my surroundings taking shape and my manifestations coming forward.

The Joys of Clearing Clutter

There will be a major "sort out" going on at my house this week.

I love a good sort out because it clears away what's junking up your life and makes room for the new that you want to experience. It's also a great way to raise your vibration. Whenever I feel the need for one I know it's an indication that wonderful changes are happening in my life.

I have a lot of stuff in my house and in my mind that no longer serves me; I think it's time for me to get in there, appreciate what it has brought to my life and then let it go. After all, everything does serve a purpose but sometimes we hold on to things longer than we need to.

I'm ready to begin a new phase in my life experience, one of my deliberate choosing, and this "sort out" is the first step in allowing these new wonderful changes to start flowing in.
