It's important to remember the time-delay (which varies from an instant to months and years!)

What you're experiencing right now is a result of previous thinking - but right now, in this instant, you are creating what is to come, and you have complete and ultimate power over that! :)

So when you're not seeing the changes you want, remind yourself: "This is from previous creations of mine. Right now, I'm creating new stuff, which will show when it's ready, as long as I keep in alignment with what I want right now in this moment - by following what feels good, and doing what it takes to feeeeel good."

Sometimes it helps to think of it in a gardening context.... :)

These weeds I'm looking at right now, are the result of those seeds I sowed without realising it, months ago. Right now, I'm sowing the seeds for the flowers I like, and as long as I keep sowing these seeds for the flowers I want, and I don't sow any more of the weed seeds, then evenentually the weeds will run their course, die off, and in the meantime, the plants I want will be growing (of course, I'll water them each day, by focusing on whatever makes me feel good).

This morning I had a request for advice from someone who has a very difficult decision to make, and after replying to her, I realised others may find this process useful as well - it works for any difficult decisions...

"I understand your dilemma - it's tricky to know whether to take the chance or not, and what will happen if you do. Here's what I suggest:

1. Decide not to decide for the moment.
Decide to wait a couple of days before making a decision.

2. Make sure you're treating yourself well - remember, this is the control panel for everything in your life. How you treat you (including what you say and think to yourself and about yourself) is setting the controls for what you experience from the world around you.

3. Do the unconditional love exercises - filling yourself with unconditional love first, then sending it to him and the whole situation. Send it to all possible scenarios - whether you go or whether you don't, and whatever the results may be - send love to all possibilities regardless.

4. After two days of this, decide you are going. Don't do anything about it yet, just "wear" the decision for one day. Decide you're going, and during the day take notice of how you're feeling.

5. The next day, decide you're not going. Again, for one day "wear" the decision that you're not going... and take notice during the day of how you're feeeeling.

You will know by then what the best thing is to do. :) This process will bring your instinctual knowledge to the surface. You know subconsciously what would be best to do, and this process will bring it to conscious awareness.

And, as always, follow what feels good in the moment - it will lead you to what you want even when it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. ;)

Hope this helps.

Sometimes you need to take your focus off what you want, and put it on something that seems to be completely unconnected, in order to get the results you want. A person who has never come across electricity before might try to make a lightbulb light up by focusing on the lightbulb. If he was told that he needs to look away from the lightbulb - turn his back on it even - to press the switch on the wall behind him, it would seem absurd to him. The switch behind him appears to have nothing to do with the lightbulb in front of him. But, if he is willing to try it, and he turns away from the lightbulb and presses the switch... he'll discover that when he looks at the lightbulb again, it will already be lit! He won't have to do anything to the lightbulb itself.

When you're really struggling with something, sometimes, you need to take your focus off the thing you want to change, and focus on feeling good inside you (that's the switch on the wall behind you), and then, you'll discover the changes happen automatically. :)

This may seem like nothing at first, but keep reading - there is more to it than you might expect.... :)

The following is a way to not only address fear in the moment, it's also a tool for reprogramming the pattern of automatic fear...

Bearing in mind we create and attract everything in our lives, spend some time noticing every good thing you've created and attracted for yourself (bear with me - there's more to it...) For example, the fact that it's not raining when you need to go out; sunshine; a traffic light that turns green as you get to it; the smile from a stranger or a store clerk; getting somewhere on time; catching your train or bus; a butterfly you happen to see; the tv program you like; a convenient parking space; finding something you were looking for; getting a seat on the bus; hearing a song you like on the radio; seeing a cute animal or child; something that makes you laugh.... and the list goes on. Every single one of those things you notice - recognise that YOU created that for YOU! :) That's how much the bigger part of you loves you! (Or, depending on your belief - that's how much God or the Universe loves you)

As for the "bad" stuff - all of that is only a result of blocking off the good stuff! What you focus on, you feed. When you're focused on the fact that you missed your train, and not on the fact that it's not raining, you're blocking more of the good, and feeding the "bad" - creating more of missed trains and less of not raining. ;)

And very often the things you think are bad will turn out to be good if you remind yourself, you cannot create bad for yourself, even though it might look like bad in the moment.

Here's an excerpt from "Beyond the Magic Pill" that might help along these lines:

"The following analogy stands for all of the things you’re looking at right now, that appear to be “bad” - lack of money, judgment from others, confrontations, things that appear to be “going wrong” and all other “monsters”.

I’m sure you’ve had times when, lying in bed, in the dark, you’ve seen a shape that you could swear was something - a person, a monster, a.... whatever... but it’s not. It turns out to be a robe hanging on the door, or a lamp - even though, before you switched on the light, you couldn’t think of anything “normal” it could be.

That’s what worries are now. Now that you know you love yourself, although you still “see” a monster, it WILL turn out to be just a robe on the door - or maybe even a person you love - it’s just that they look like a monster in the dark - because you can’t see them properly... and you fear a monster.

As you get closer, and the light increases, you’ll find out that what you thought was something to worry about turns out to be nothing - as you keep reminding yourself that you only create good now. The only thing to fear is fear - because, what you feel is what is creating and attracting. So if you don’t fear, there’s nothing to fear - because you CAN’T create something to fear, without feeling the fear first ;) (There’s a nice little tongue-twister ;) )

And the way to keep from feeling the fear, is to keep reminding yourself: "I love myself, so I now only create and attract situations and people that make me feel good, and that are good for me.” And then look at all the evidence of how much you love yourself - every thing and person that makes you feel good :)

Trust yourself - you love you. You won’t let anything “bad” happen to you - even though it might look that way until the light comes on ;)" - Excerpted from "Beyond the Magic Pill"


I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any queries.

Being human, most of us spend most of our lives in a "reactive" state emotionally. Something happens, and we feel an emotional response to it. What we're not naturally aware of is the fact that results follow our emotions... not the other way around.

It's like holding a dog's leash, and following the dog.... which is fine of course, if the dog is going where you want to go. But, if the dog is walking into muddy puddles, and you think you have no choice but to follow him, you're not going to enjoy the walk ;)

However, if you take the lead, you can lead the dog around the puddles, and the dog will follow you! :) Following the dog into the puddles is like responding emotionally to "what is". In other words, "Someone said something mean, and now I'm hurt" - the dog walked into the puddle and I followed.

Taking the lead with the leash, is like saying: "The dog walked into the puddle, but I don't want to be in a puddle, so I'll ignore the tug on the leash, and I'll walk the other way - around the puddle - and I know the dog will follow (he has no choice, he's attached to the leash ;) )" In other words: "I know that person said something mean, but I don't want to feel like that, so I will choose to ignore it and be happy in myself, and I know that my life experience will follow - it has no choice, it's attached to my emotions! ;)"

It sounds like a paradox, but there's an explanation and a way of doing this - and it's a powerful tool for getting out of the darkness. ;)

I wrote the following as a reply to someone earlier today, who wanted to know what I meant when I advised "When you can't feeeel love, love that! Love the fact that you can't feel it" And of course, it does sound absurd, so I thought others may benefit from the explanation....

When you start out, love is an emotion. It's something you feel when you look at or think of something - or someone - you love. It's a reaction to something or someone. I think of _________ and I feel love.

The exercises in the Superpower chapter of "Beyond the Magic Pill" are designed to develop the ability to use love as a power - which means using it actively, rather than feeling it reactively. Those exercises help develop the ability to feel love on demand - without needing to see or think of specific things. Once you master that, you can then use love as a tool, aiming it at things you want to change.

So, in the beginning, looking at something you love and feeling love for it is only a reference - it's only to take note of the feeeeeling you're aiming for. Then it becomes intellectual - a mental thing. The exercises require you to use thinking in order to get the feeling - to use thinking as the catalyst instead of a thing or person you love.

When I say love the fact that you can't love - I mean use that intellectual process. In other words: if you can't feel love right now, make that okay by deciding it's okay. Use the conscious mind to decide that it's okay to not be able to feel love, and use the conscious mind to decide that you love yourself anyway. Even though you don't feel it.

The point is: if you're not able to feel it, you're not able to feel it, and any judgement, criticism or any other negative view of the fact that you can't feel it is only going to add more darkness to the darkness.

Although the aim and the power is in feeeeeling love, loving intellectually (in other words deciding you love yourself anyway even without the feeling) is still infinitely better than those negative emotions - because whatever you're feeeeeling is what you're creating more of; and if you're feeeeeling negative emotions, and you use your thinking (I love myself anyway - I love that I can't feel love) to make the situation "ok" at least in your head... you're going to reduce those negative feelings. And the feeeeeling of love will come back later. Maybe tomorrow, or in a couple of days even. But whatever it is, whenever it is, deciding to love it intellectually at least, is always better than feeling the negative alternatives.

Think of yourself for a moment as a room. And not being able to feel love is darkness. And feeling love is light. The room is currently full of darkness, and you can't find the light switch. You feel along the walls, but you can't feel the switch. If you were to start feeling despondent, or frustrated or angry - or even just critical of the fact that you can't find the switch, it's not going to help you find it - all you're doing is stumbling around in the dark, feeling ... dark. In your pocket you have a tiny penlight torch. But you think: "It's not strong enough, it's only a penlight, it's not going to light up the room." ... But, even though it's only a tiny pin-spot of light, it's still better than being in complete darkness - AND.... while you're walking around with that tiny pinspot of light, you're more likely to find the light switch than if you were to keep groping around feeling whatever negative feelings you were feeling before.

The penlight is your thought. Your intellectual decision that you love yourself, even without the feeling. Now, yes, it's never going to light up the room (you need the feeling for that), but it's better than staggering around in the dark. ;)

Hope this makes sense and helps.

Here are the two steps to getting what you want:
1. Love yourself
2. Follow what feels good in the moment.

That's it. Because the outside is a reflection of inside, you will attract people and situations that reflect your beliefs about yourself. And following what feels good is your map to what you want.

Here's an example of how the second step works:
Jenny wants to meet the man of her dreams. She has already ticked off the first step - she knows she loves herself, and she treats herself the way she'd like to be treated by others. Now, she's going to follow the second step - she's decided to follow the treasure hunt trail to what she wants by following what feels good in the moment, even when it seems to have nothing to do with finding the man of her dreams.

One Saturday night, Jenny gets a call from her best friend, Sarah. Sarah wants Jenny to go on a night out with her, to a new club. Jenny doesn't really feel like going out, she'd been looking forward to curling up with a book she's enjoying reading. Sarah tells her she'll never meet the man of her dreams staying at home. She should get out and meet people - he could be right there, at this new club tonight! Jenny thinks about this, and sees the logic, but she still doesn't feeeel like going. And if she compares going to the club and staying home reading the book... the idea of staying home feeeeels better - it feels good. If she weren't following step 2, she'd probably be swayed by Sarah's logic, and she'd go to the club even though it feels better to stay home. But she's decided to follow what feels good in the moment, so she stays home.


Jenny curls up with her new book, it feels great. After a while she feels like a hot chocolate, so she goes through to the kitchen to make one. While she's waiting for the kettle to boil, she notices the TV guide open on the counter. She glances at it, and sees that her favourite comedy show is on in a few minutes. She realises it would be great to see it - she loves that show... but she really should finish that book - it's due back at the library on Monday. But the idea of watching the TV show feeeeels better than reading the book in that moment... so she follows what feels good, and watches the TV show while she drinks her hot chocolate.


This episode of the show is set in a ballet school - Jenny used to do ballet, but gave it up ... watching this reminds her of how much she loves ballet. It would feel really good to do it again. So she decides to follow what feels good, and the next day she finds a ballet school in her area. When she mentions this to Sarah, Sarah points out that she's never going to meet the man of her dreams at ballet school. Jenny points out that she's not looking for her man, she's being led to him by following what feels good in the moment. The treasure hunt trail.


So, Jenny has her first class on Tuesday night. After her class, on the way home, she stops for gas. There's a coffee bar next to the gas station, and she really feels like a coffee. She walks into the coffee bar, and there's a long line of people to be served. She thinks she should go, but she really feels like a coffee - the idea of sitting down with a coffee, even though she has to wait, feels better than leaving. So, she waits in the line. A man arrives and stands behind her in the line. He makes a witty comment about how long the wait is, she turns round and responds.... while they're waiting in the line, they chat. He tells her that he works nearby. They have coffee together.... and they switch numbers.... and eventually Jenny discovers that this is the man of her dreams.

Every decision Jenny made was based on what felt good - regardless of whether it was logically going to lead her to what she wanted.

If she hadn't done that, if she'd gone to the club with Sarah, she may or may not have met someone. But it wouldn't have been this guy. And had she not ended up at the ballet school, she wouldn't have happened to be at that coffee shop at that time. Now, she may well have still met this guy - in another way at another time, but it would have taken longer. Although it seemed a complex route, it was in fact the shortest, easiest route to meeting him... and of course the bonus is, she was feeling good and doing what she enjoyed along the way! :)

There are infinite possibilities and variations on this of course, but if you're following what feels good in the moment, you're always on track. And this is the way it works for everything you want. You can't see the road ahead, so instead of blindly looking for what you want, allow yourself to be led to it. Follow what feels good in the moment. That's your navigation system. ;)


Hope this helps.
