Some weeks the newsletter comes on its own. Other times I need to write it during a specific time frame because I have a busy week. So, instead of wracking my brains, I do something fun and raise my vibe, and then it comes. If I try to force it, I usually end up deleting it and starting over. Talking to angels requires a high vibe, and I can’t channel them when I’m in an “I’ve got to get this done” mentality. I have to be a bit closer to the heavenly vibe!
I prioritize keeping my vibration high, and when I slip out of that, I drop everything as soon as possible and make it a priority to get right back in connection. I don’t even waste time beating myself up anymore. Good thing too! I make plenty of what we’d call mistakes, but as usual, they end up not being mistakes after all.
My garage door has been squeaking for some time. I kept thinking I should fix it, but it wasn’t a high priority. I always intend I know precisely when to do what around the house. So when I accidentally left some boxes high on a garage shelf, opened the door, and watched it jump off track –screeching and groaning as it dragged the boxes off the shelf – I sat there and laughed. Obviously, it was time to get the door fixed 🙂
Here’s where being in the flow gets fun. I sat and intended I get it fixed easily with wonderful repair folks and at the perfect time. I propped it shut and called the repair service. “It’s too late to get anyone out today,” they told me, “so we’ll be here first thing tomorrow.” That sounded fine. I changed my plans, put the phone away, and went out back to work in the garden.
I didn’t know they got a guy to come to my house after all. I missed his knock because I was in the backyard. Instead of kicking myself, I simply waited to see what would transpire. Ends up the man who came in the morning was one of the trainers at the company – supremely knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and honest. I got an excellent education, many laughs, and new garage door rollers. He even told me what to save for in the future and how long I’d have. Perfection. My door is acting brand new.
Had I anxiously and nervously waited by the phone, the repairs would have happened, but not with this amazing soul. Had I beat myself up I would have attracted a less reliable repair company. Had I moaned and groaned about costs, I would have sapped my energy and not been able to add clients and work overtime the following week. This vibrational reality often works like magic, but sometimes it seems like plain vanilla common sense when you think about it.
I am finally living in the paradigm that says energy is more important than effort. When I have a problem, I raise my vibe by doing something fun or thinking of something good. When I don’t know what to do, I raise my vibe. When I lose my keys I raise my vibe and make it a game, saying, “God you know where they are! They aren’t lost! Bring them to my attention.” I stop thinking of them as lost and soon they’re found. When I mess up my body, I raise my vibe.
There are still a few times when something is so upsetting to me I can’t get to a positive space right away, but I can raise my vibe. I can vent my frustrations to the heavens till I feel better. Then when I feel better, I can soothe myself and do something kind for myself. Then in that better space I can look around at things that are good… and so it goes as we slowly inch our way toward good feelings.
I’m a work in progress! So are you, but as we collectively begin to own our own minds again, we start to vibrate in a higher, healthier, and happier space. That’s how we contribute to our world in a lasting and meaningful way.
Here are a few tips to help you own your own mind…
1. Care less about opinions and more about feelings
Everyone has an opinion on nearly everything, even if the opinion is, “I don’t care.” Opinions are often offered to us as facts. People truly believe their opinions are the truth. However, there are many truths – many ways of looking at this reality we live in, and what’s true for one may not be true for another.
Coffee may be a health food for you and poison for another. Smoking may offer relief to one soul and make another sick. One political party might look like a savior to one person and demons to the next. Masks might mean security and health for one person while another feels choked. We live in a diverse world.
So, rather than worrying about forcing your truths or opinions on others or adopting others’ truths or opinions, simply measure the usefulness of such beliefs against how they feel. If a truth or opinion feels good, keep it, focus on it, and enjoy it. If it feels bad, find a better one. You can change your mind.
You are not contained within your mind. You are a magnificent soul, in control of it. The more you practice using it as the tool that it is, the less you will feel controlled by it.
2. Don’t blindly accept anything that doesn’t feel good
I am happily talking to more and more people who trust their own feelings. Even when an expert offers you advice, get in a high vibe and then see how the advice feels to you. Don’t check your feelings in a low vibe. They won’t be good indicators there. Instead, wait before taking action. Take a walk, listen to beautiful music, watch an inspiring documentary, then check the advice with your feelings. In a high vibe, your feelings will tell you what resonates with that high vibe and what doesn’t.
Decades ago I was naive about investing. I was married, and my in-laws had done very well with land investments. They recommended that my husband and I join them in a partnership that would require savings from one year of my salary. It would set us up with some security for the rest of our lives – or so the projection went. We were two working engineers back then and had the luxury of that savings. They knew what they were doing and had proof that they’d done well. Nonetheless, I didn’t feel right about it. I talked myself out of my feelings. “What did I know at age 25 compared to their lifetime of wisdom?” I went along. We lost it all – a year of my salary – when others involved defaulted. That was my college education in trusting my feelings. It was expensive and would have been devastating had I not realized quickly that the lesson would serve me for the rest of my life. It has.
In the past few years, I’ve had plenty of well-meaning medical advice when I’ve messed up my flow and, therefore my body. I’d likely be dead if I had listened to some of it. Even when feeling bad, I can focus on anything good and weigh the options against my feelings. I feel what resonates and what doesn’t.
In the words of Obi Wan Kanobit to Luke in the movie Star Wars, “Trust your feelings.” In a high vibe, they are your guidance.
3. Be wary of “pack mentality”
Just because the news says the economy is bad doesn’t mean your economy needs to be bad. Just because someone says there’s a terrible housing market doesn’t mean you can’t find a house. Just because your friends say you have to get on a dating app to find a partner does not mean that’s the way for you. Just because a doctor says there’s only one way to heal does not mean you can’t do your own research and choose an approach that resonates. Just because “everyone else is doing it,” doesn’t mean it’s right for you.
We have dominion over our own minds, and if we don’t claim that, others will. We can decide the reality we want to experience and stick to our creations. We can research options and see which ones feel better. We can listen to others or not, depending on what resonates or not. Beware of getting sucked into a “pack mentality.” Just because “everyone else is having this experience” does not mean you have to.
The world had a fearful pandemic. I did not. I had the experience of practicing better hygiene habits, enjoying my home, and helping thousands of people get through some of the toughest times of their lives. The news reports that the world is having financial fears. I am not. I believe my flow comes from God, and if one flow dries up, something else will be presented. The news reports a future with drought and incurable climate change. I’m focusing on gentle soothing rains and beautiful snow high in the mountains that feed our reservoirs. I’m blessing the weather, the earth, and my water. I’m choosing more and more eco-friendly products. I’m celebrating the young people finding ways to recycle the carbon in the air, clean the oceans, and take care of the previous messes.
Refuse to buy into a fear-based pack mentality that would render us powerless, ineffective puppets in creation. Instead, get in a high vibe, and pay attention to what resonates with your desires and dreams.
When you align with the Divine, all is fine!
It is a time on earth when there is such a beautiful and powerful flow and so much potential for good that the angels encourage us to “mind our minds” and ride that wave into the beautiful future we truly aim for.
