Attract Abundance in "This Economy"!

How Can I Attract Abundance?

STOP WATCHING THE NEWS!

Every news media one reads or sees these days is predicting economic horrors or reporting on the current ones.  This cannot help you to attract abundance into your life.  Since I've been alive the past 70 years, I have lived though many different economies. What I've noticed is that just like people - they change and the change is constant.

My husband is a pretty smart guy and has a talent and gift for seeing the big picture. He says, after trying to scope it all out, that the economy is all in our minds. And I say, "We have control over those." Am I not noticing the facts? It is group consciousness that created the world economy such as it is and it is group consciousness that will create something different - one mind at a time.

Remember in the movie What the Bleep Do We Know? how we saw how we are biochemically addicted or our emotional states? (If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.) The media knows this and is selling us the fear that is addictive. Because it is addictive it keeps us coming back for more and more and more. Ultimately, as we buy into the fear that they are selling and we are addicted to, our negative vibrations then create what we have - a big, negative mess.

How can we change it?

Taking responsibility for our own minds. To attract abundance we must filter what goes into our mind and feelings. The Law of Attraction works. It works in our individual lives and it works in our group conscious mind even bigger. The more we focus, the more we will get.

So my question to you is, WHERE IS YOUR MIND FOCUSED TODAY? Have you learned how to deal with and process through your negative feelings and emotions and keep finding a way to truly be positive? Not just the words, but the actual feelings.

Love Compatibility Test: How will I know he's the one?

It would really be great if such a thing existed out there in the world. All you’d have to do is get out your trusty credit card, put in your number and the perfect questions to tell you each whether you were compatible would pop right up. And off into the sunset you’d go – either together or apart - depending on the results of the test.

That might have worked when you were 14. Some teen magazine created the test. You took it and found out yes or no.

Or you might count on the info you get from your local or online astrologer. Maybe they do know but truly, how to know if he’s the one or not is not that hard. The information is right there inside you.

Every time he makes you happy, he’s the one. Every time he does something that upsets you, angers you, hurts your feelings or makes you feel small, he is not the one. If he continues to hurt your feelings and make you feel small, he is not the one.

Now I am not so naïve as to think it’s that simple. But it could be. Here’s what you have to do to make it that simple. You have to find a way to listen to, discern and trust the emotional feedback your body gives you. You know what I’m talking about although you may not realize it.

Next time you get angry or feel sad, notice what’s going on in your body. Next time you are wildly happy, notice that and what it feels like in your body. What are you feeling right now? Are you having what you’d call a good day? Or are you having what you’d call a bad day? It isn’t the events that usually make the day good or bad. It is your emotional reaction to the events that make you interpret it as good or bad. When you start looking internally, you will know the information you are looking for when it comes to the person you are trying to know your compatibility with.

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “It’s an inside job.” It is an inside job because human beings have a full range of biochemicals that flow throughout our bodies and let us know if we are happy or sad, angry or joyful. So that’s where the compatibility test answers are – inside you.

But you searched and found this article because you aren’t clear - which means something is blocking you from knowing your own truth. These are the kinds of things that block women from knowing:

1. They have a hard time understanding their emotions.


2. They started a physical relationship before they really knew the guy and become confused because their hormones and emotional vulnerability is totally triggered. This is not a moral judgment but rather a reality for women.


3. They are carrying a lot of emotional baggage from the past and it is confusing the current situation.


4. They have low self esteem and want to hold onto anyone as long as someone will stay with them.

So if you want to know if he is the one, you have to allow yourself to feel your feelings and acknowledge what they are telling you. If all this idea does is leave you feeling confused, then I can promise you you need some help in getting back in touch with your feelings. Go seek help before you make any decisions about who is “the one”.

How To Deal With Long-Term Depression

by Gina Bendel

For most of my life I suffered from depression.  I tried to understand it, tried to soothe it, tried to sweep it under the rug and ignore it.  I even tried to cover it up with laughter and a well-thought up façade – my mask to the world!  I tried counselors, tried medication – the list goes on and on!!  Nothing seemed to work for very long and I was REALLY sick and tired of feeling so miserable all the time.

Because of an amazing life coach whose program, YOU University, I credit to saving me from myself and because I was truly ready to overcome the feelings of deep depression I had lived with since I can remember, I learned that I needed to delve deeper to the roots - the core beliefs and experiences from the time I was born and up until my current life – all of which brought me to where I was (and where I was would be considered desperate – hanging on a cliff by only my fingernails)!  I needed to face all I had learned by my experiences, analyze it and learn new habits and thought patterns that would give me back my authentic self – the real genuine Gina that was hidden beneath all the crap.

To overcome long-term depression takes dedication and real work.  I learned the things that did not work for me long term (or for any of the people I know suffering from long-term depression).  Some of these are:

• Anti-depressants (this only numbs the depression for short periods of time and doesn’t deal with the core issues)


• Covering it up with what you think the world wants to see


• Pretending it doesn’t really exist & refusing to discuss your feelings


• Self medicating by numbing the painful feelings with alcohol or drugs


• Being unwilling to work on uncovering and resolving the issues


• Holding emotions inside and not resolving them


• Carrying resentment, anger, shame, guilt and/or not being able to forgive someone who has hurt you deeply in some way


• Running away from the problems

Here are a few things I have learned DO work:

1. Get to the root of the depression – be willing to look in depth at how you came to be depressed in the first place.


2. Learn tools to replace the negative self-talk and self-loathing or “victim mentality” that often accompanies depression with positive self-talk and love for yourself.  Be willing and open to creating new life-time habits.


3. Imagine what it feels like to be happy – paint a picture in your mind of this new, happy you.  What do you look like?  Where are you living?  Who are you with?  See it, smell it, taste it and create a visual piece that you can look at every day.  What you envision, you can attract!


4. Write about it.  Journaling has enormous benefits in helping you to get your emotions out in a constructive, healthy way.   Simply pick up a piece of paper and start writing whatever is on your mind or in your heart.  It truly is remarkable how much better it can make you feel by releasing your emotions in this way!


5. Start a gratitude list. Every time you think of it or notice yourself feeling badly or talking about what’s wrong, go write on your list.I know how debilitating long-term depression can be.   Nobody should have to continue that downward spiral.  If anything in this article resonates with you and you would like some guidance, please check out the following site where you can read about the journey I took through YOU University.

What Would Inspire You To Seek An Emotion-Based Coaching Course? by Heather Williams

[caption id="attachment_9711" align="alignleft" width="146"] Heather Williams[/caption]

It is a confronting and defining moment when a person comes to the realization that something is not working, and their life is not turning out the way they think it should. Sometimes it’s not just one incident that wakes you up to the fact that you need to change your ways or you’ll continue along this endless path you’re on. For many, it is a gradual awakening of that spark within that tells you it’s time to move forward. For others, it takes a life-shattering incident.

So, why seek a Life Coach and not a psychologist?

It comes down to what you want out of each session. Personal choice. Some people are very comfortable with psychologists and the way they work, others are not. For those who are not, emotion-based Life Coaching can be just what they’re looking for.

What is it then, that inspires people to seek an Emotion-Based  Coach and go through a course such as those offered by YOU University?

The same thing that inspires anybody who sets out on a life-changing mission. It is not unlike what we call in fiction, ‘the hero’s journey’. First there comes the catalyst, the life-shattering incident or confronting moment in the hero’s life that makes him suddenly realize, ‘Hey! This is not right. I’m going to have to do something about it.”

That is the impetus that sets the hero, or heroine, out on their life-changing journey. That’s what makes them open the door to other possibilities. It’s the knowledge that something is not right, and the desire to change it for the better.

You see, people need to have an emotional stake in something before they are motivated to make that first move. They have to feel that they have something precious to lose by not taking up that quest to improve their lives.

When people come to me as an Emotion-Based  Coach, often that is one of the first things I ask. “What was it that brought you here for help? What are you hoping to gain from this experience?”

Having put their foot outside the door on their journey to self-betterment, what then inspires a person to keep going right to the end?

Let’s go back to our hero’s journey. Having decided to begin this momentous quest, the hero must have enough motivation to take him right through all the trials and tribulations he is going to face along the way.

Our hero can’t give up before achieving his goal. He needs hope. He needs to believe in himself. He needs the right tools and weapons with which to fight his demons. He needs to be able to look back and see how far his journey has taken him and know in his own heart that whatever it is he’s doing, is making a huge difference in his life and the lives of those he loves. In other words, he needs an emotional stake in the outcome in order to stay committed to the quest.

As an Emotion-Based Coach, this is what we do. We arm our heroes and heroines with the right tools, we encourage and support them in their journeys, we teach them how to see how far they’ve come and we teach them how to remain dedicated to their own personal quests.

It requires courage, dedication, commitment, heart and soul on the part of the mentor, and on the part of the hero/heroine. This is what we do best here at YOU University.
