How I'm Doing?

I was answering some comments on my blog and thought that I would post here since I haven't posted in a long time.

Actually I'm feeling pretty good now. It's the start of a new year and I can't say that I have had too many regrets in 2011.

I have learned many lessons though and I don't have any ill will or anger towards those who I have felt such things for. I have decided to release those negative thoughts and focus on the positive and focus on the lessons that I have learned from these experiences.

My Thankgiving was joyful, my Christmas was so much better that the one before and I am very grateful for that!

Right now its early morning (very early morning LOL!) and I have a cinammon candle burning in my window as a beacon of light for those early morning travellers that are out there.

My goals for 2012 are making more money online, and to stop and enjoy my life more and to stop every now and then and smell the roses!

Here's My Astrology Reading For Today

Here is my free horoscope reading for today

"Regarding your current struggle or debate, you should know that there are more people on your side than aren't ... and the people who aren't don't have much pull with the powers that be. Keep pushing for what you want, and keep talking to the people who can help make it happen. You're gaining real momentum, and you could reach an exciting tipping point today. Whatever has been holding you back is long gone -- and it's not coming back! Stay with this positive frame of mind."

This horoscope reading seems very appropriate for me today as I am going through something quite major in my life which has a lot to do with my financial situation and it's good to see these words in this reading as I am a very big law of attraction fan!

I'm just trying to get through this problem in my life right now and I can use all the help that I can get in this manner and like my horoscope says I have to stay with a positive frame of mind.

It's really something how one's horoscope reading can help with the problems that one is having in their lives and sometimes these reading provide helpful hints toward the solutions as well!

So I'm really going to try and stay positive and get this problem solved!

Been Feeling Down For A Few Days Now.....

I have been feeling down for the past few days - mostly, I know, because of my feelings! There is something that I want very, very much but I don't have it yet. I realize that my thoughts and feelings are thinking about what I don't have instead of knowing what I should be focusing on - which is what it is that I want to have.

It's very hard trying to keep my focus on what it is that I do want because I want it so badly and I don't have it yet.

Naturally I would like to become more finacially stable and live the life of my dreams but I seem to be blocking what I want because of the feelings that I am having.

For those of you who are in a similar situation where there is something that you really, really want and it hasn't manifested itself yet I hope this blog post will be helpful to you (as well as to me).

From the things that I have read concerning the law of attraction - what you focus on you will get. If you haven't gotten it then that means that you are blocking it by thinking negative thoughts and feeling negative feelings. I actually read a blog post from a woman who managed to make one of her (bigger) bills disappear simply by stating to the universe that she wished that the bill would just disappear - and it worked. The bill people called her up and said that she didn't have to pay the bill anymore! That just goes to show me that the law of attraction really does work!

Maybe I'm just going through some sort of test to see how badly I want it?

And while I'm feeling bad about what I don't have, now would be a good time to post another gratitude list!

I'm grateful that:

• that I have a nice warm home to go to
  
  
• that I have food to eat both in my refridgerator and the kitchen shelves
  
  
• that I have a positive balance in my bank account! Because there have been times that I have over-drawn my account and had to pay over $100 in bank fees!
  
  
• I belong to Google's Adsense program because it has earned me some nice spending money. I have also earned money online by writing guest blog posts - so I have earned money online!

I'm still working at being a master of the law of attraction just like the others that I have read about who have been able to manifest the life of their dreams!

Going Through Some Difficult Times Lately......

I'm working on the law of attraction - sometimes until it hurts! That may be one of the problems that I am having with it - that I'm trying too hard!

This week I got "hit" with 2 new bills and a shut-off notice! Not very good news! So I was starting to feel very depressed! I was thinking things like "why does this keep happening to me?" - which is also probably contributing to the problem.

I did some research online and found a blog article that talks about "chemicalization". Here is an excerpt from the article:

That lady was relieved to learn that another dynamic law was working for her-the law of chemicalization.

You’ve heard it said that things have to get worse sometimes before they can get better; that the getting worse process is actually a part of the improvement process; that what seems failure is actually success being born in the situation. That’s chemicalization!

Chemicalization sounds like a negative process, but actually it is a very positive one, a natural, normal one. Though it is an uncomfortable experience, it is worth going through, because it is always a sign that cleansing is taking place. Something higher and better always results from this experience.

When these periods come, remind yourself, “This is nothing to fear. This is not evil. There Is only good at work In this experience. Healing Is now taking place In my world. I rest, relax and let It.” As you nonresistantly meet chemicalization in this way, very soon brighter conditions will appear.

It did help to make me feel a little bit more better! I just wish that things were not so hard! I still have my financial goals - but am I anywhere near it? No.

According to all of the advice given I just have to keep going and not give up. Appreciate and be grateful for the good that is going on in my life.

I'll keep everyone updated...........

I Have Been Feeling Kind Of Crappy Today!

I mean I was feeling really terrible today! Things are so not going my way and the first thing that I thought of was that it was time for me to make another gratitude list!

I do want to let you know that I do have a gratitude journal that I write down the things that I am grateful for too. But I also use this blog as a gratitude journal as well!

So here is my gratitude list for today!

• I am grateful to be able to be online today even though I'm using the computer at my local library. My phone service has been cut off so I'm not able to go online at home but I am still able to use my computer at home for doing things that don't require me to be online.
  
  
• I am always grateful for my home! There are so many people out there that are homeless that I should count my blessings!
  
  
• I am grateful for the food that I have at home. Just heard a story about how some children's only means of food are the free breakfast and lunch programs that they have at school. When they go home there is no food and during the weekends they have no food! So here is another area where I have to count my blessings!
  
  
• Another thing that I am grateful for is the fact that even though there are some problems that I am having there are some options that are available to me. In other words "it ain't over yet!". I still have the postal mail and some phone availabilities!
  
  
• I'm very grateful for the fact that the law of attraction has worked for me because it gives me proof that the law of attraction really does work! There have been times when money has manifested into my life and it has surprised me as to where it came from! I could really use some more money in my life right now and I think that I am trying too hard as far as the law of attraction is concerned. I think I'm having the very opposite effect which means that by trying so hard I may really be repelling money.
  
  I know that there are other sources of money. I know that there is such a thing as unclaimed money which is another form of free money but I checked for my name on the unclaimed money list for my area and my name wasn't on it.
  
  Everything today just seems to take so muc effort and I know that that is because of my thinking thoughts about money. My Google Adsense payment is about 2 weeks away and I am grateful that I will be getting some money from that! In fact I read an interesting online article about the law of attraction and attracting more adsense money into one's life! As far as me having more money is concerned two weeks is better than having to wait 3 weeks - so I'm grateful for that money coming into my life!
  
  I also have to remember that money can come from almost anywhere. I have seen examples of that show up in my life so I know that it is true! So I never know where money may show up in my life!

The name of my blog is called "I Want To Feel Good" and I find that taking the time out to make a gratitude list helps me to feel much, much better - especially about all the things that I am grateful to have in my life!

The Life Of My Dreams!

The life of my dreams would be for me to be able to work from home! Did you know that I am kind of doing that now with the Google Adsense program! I am actually earning money with the Google Adsense program and it is fulfilling my dream of being able to work at home.

Now I'm not an Adsense Millionaire yet but I am working on it!

Having the google adsense ads here on my blog is but just one way of being able to make money online. I also do tarot and astrology readings as well and that is yet another way for me to be able to earn money online.

There are lots of other things that I can do - especially with my tarot and astrology readings. I could start a podcast and a newsletter and like they say you are only limited by your own imagination!

I am also working on my search engine optimization - meaning that I am working on getting my blog high on the search engine rankings - although I haven't decided yet on what keywords I want my blog to be associated with.

My mission statement is to have at least $1 Million Dollars in my bank account and then I can live off of the interest!

One Of The Things That I Am Grateful For Is......

that I was able to make it to the Digital TV switch! I can't tell you how many times I agonized over whether or not I would be able to make the switch! And this was way back in February of this year during the first digital tv switch!

I read somewhere that President Obama wanted to extend the date but I didn't see it mentioned too much and thought that it was just my imagination! But I finally saw where the date really had been extended and I was so grateful for that!

Now that June has come and the June 12th date is now passed, I'm glad to say that I can still view the programming on my TV - mainly because I have one of the cable / Dish TV / Direct TV packages!

I am very grateful for this because I am hearing on the news that some people are having problems - even though they thought that they got the right equipment. And there are still yet some people who haven't been able to make the switch at all - the reason being that they just can't afford it!

Even with the discount coupons that the government has provided, there are still people who are not able to afford buying one of those TV converter boxes -

So no matter how bad your situation is, the is always someone who is more worse off than you! So please do be grateful for what you DO have!

It's Time For Another Gratitude List!

I was feeling a bit down today, actually quite feeling depressed and anxious! Of course this is because I am worrying about my money and my financial situation(s)!

I'm currently reading a book called "Simple Abundance" (and I will write more specifically about this book later) and it is basically about living a simple and abundant life, getting in touch with one's authentic self and the book also provides various words of wisdom.

This book has provided some helpful insight to me and I thoroughly look forward to reading the entire book! It has a lot to say about worrying. Worrying robs us of time better well spent appreciating all that we do have. Instead of focusing on what we are lacking we should focus on the abundance in our life and I was thinking about that as I was eating dinner and reading the book at the same time. I was enjoying a very comforting meal and sipping on hot chocolate on a day when the weather is cold and rainy outside. The book reminds us to enjoy the simple pleasures of our lives and for me one of the things that I truly enjoy is having a nice, hot cup of hot chocolate on a cold day! I was reminded to be grateful to be able to have a supply of hot chocolate that I could enjoy today!

When coming online an article appeared in my email box and it was an article about gratitude and it seemed as if that "spoke" to me as I was searching for an answer to my feelings of depression and anxiety. The article reminds us to be grateful for what we do have and that "spoke" to me that it was time to make another gratitude list. So here is my gratitude list for today:

• I am grateful that I have hot chocolate to drink on this chilly day (plus I have a supply of tea that I can have as an alternative). I am very grateful for this because there have been times when I have been out of both!
  
  
• I am grateful to be in a warm house with heat! I have to remember that there are those who are much worse off than me! (I was reminded of this when I was listening to one of my local radio talk shows when the host said this very thing - in that he felt that he was doing good because there were so many people who were more worse off than him) I thoroughly believe that this was a sign answering my query as to what to do - and the answer was to be grateful for what it is I DO have!
  
  
• I am grateful to be able to be online. My Internet access has just been paid for the month so I have another blissful month of Internet access!
  
  
• I think that one of the things that I am most grateful for is myself! I don't know how to explain it exactly but in general I'm in a pretty good mood! I haven't strayed to the point of morally corrupting myself and I try to remain positive and optimistic. I'm also "keeping the faith!
  
  I have my mission statement that I remind myself of when I'm at a crossroads and don't know which way to turn!

So I do have a lot to be grateful for!

As a sidenote I should mention that the current book I'm reading suggests that you start writing down 5 things that you are grateful for every night before you go to bed and that is something that I have begun to do. So besides my online gratitude list, I have also started writing down at least 5 things I am grateful for every night before I go to bed. It is suggested that one do this for at least 21 days and I am on Day 4.



I should also note that instead of having a separate journal for this I have added this to my own personal Book Of Shadows in the diary / journal part of my own Book Of Shadows.

So if you're feeling down and / or depressed, write down 5 things that you are grateful for. That should lift your spirits immensely!

I Just Wanted To Thank Everyone For Their Comments!

It seems that sometimes the comment thingie on my blog doesn't always work!


I tried answering some of your comments but so far my answers haven't shown up. Oh well looking at the bright side to this it does give me an opportunity to have another blog post!

Yes, the law of attraction DOES work! I have seen it working in my life.

However sometimes I think that I try too hard - LOL!

There have been instances when I have given something a fleeting thought and then it manifests into my life! On the other hand the things that I want so badly aren't manifesting as much as I would like them to - however I am working on it!

I'm Going Through Some Heavy Anxiety Issues Today!

My day didn't get off to a very good start!

I worried and obsessed about some pressing financial problems and I further made it worse by looking more into it - thus getting more bad news. But now - a few hours later - as I look back on it the news isn't 100% bad - in fact there was some good news in there that will help me more!

First of all I know that worrying only feeds the problem more and makes it more of a monster - but I just couldn't help myself and the more I tried not to think about it the more I thought about it! Various negative scenarios entered my imagination and I just felt so bad!

I have my resources of advice to fall back on and they include things like

• focusing on what it is that I DO want instead of focusing on what I don't want
  
  
• finding out something good about the situation no matter how small that good may be!

Also too when I am having days like this I remember what "The Secret" says and that is to list the things that you are grateful for! Here is my list for today:

• I am grateful for my home! I love my home and I love where I live and I realize that I am fortunate to have a roof over my head - especially now during the winter months here in the Philadelphia area. The current temperature is 23 degrees but it feels like 15 degrees!
  
  
• I'm also grateful that I have heat! Old-styled radiators are bringing me heat and when I go by them I touch them and remind myself how grateful I am to be able to have heat! There is such a great feeling when coming home out of the cold into a nice warm house! (on another note: I was able to get a financial grant to help pay some of my past due heating bill expenses - and it is so very much needed and I am so grateful that I have gotten it! I received the notification a few days ago and the grant is sending the money directly to my heating bill company!)
  
  
• I'm grateful for the skills that I do have and I was recently reminded of this while online when I was reading an article about how we all have gifts and talents. What make this more interesting is that I was watching a snippet of a religious program and they were saying the exact same thing in that we all have talents!
  
  
• I'm grateful to be able to be online! I love working with my computer both online and off but I have come to realize that not everyone has a computer - much less online access - of their own!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the food that I do have in my refridgerator and whild I am craving some hot chocolate right now I know that I will have some soon because I vow to buy some with some of the money from my Adsense this month!

I have commented before about how the law of attraction has worked for me in the past. Quite frankly I think that it works all the time but it's me that is just trying too hard!

Besides having a copy of "The Secret" on disk, I was also able to check out the book "The Secret" from my library! It included some more information and advice that wasn't on the CD and it was very welcomed advice!

I think today was a day where my emotions - I should say my negative emotions - really got a hold of me. But jotting down my gratitude list has really helped me a lot!



1/31/09 Update!

I just thought that I should mention that the "financial" problem that I posted about above, that I obsessed and worried about came to a pleasant end! I did manage to find a pleasurable solution to the problem!

Been Feeling A Bit Down..............

It was great coming back to this blog to remind myself of many things! It was good seeing my mission statement again and it was a wonderful reminder reading all of my posts about the things that I have now that I am grateful for!

Even though 2008 seemed to be the worst year for others (if you go by what the news has said), I found that it was a great year for reflection and learning lessons in my life!

I have my mission statement goal and that is what I am working towards!
