What Is An Almost Manifestation?
I'm trying something different today -- I filmed and uploaded my first video blog post! Please forgive the shakiness and poor picture quality -- I have an older smartphone and need a tripod or a selfie stick for the future (and may just splurge on a nice digital recorder one of these days...or maybe I can manifest one!) Anyways, my camerawoman work may need some polishing but I hope this video proves useful for those of us that have the experience of manifesting something that is almost quite right, but then falls apart. Enjoy!

I've been reading your posts on this site for a while. I thought I might respond to this one because the video makes you more approachable I think. I see you as Pam the person instead of Pam the blogger. I have questions that maybe you might have a better understanding than I do. I'm familiar with the law of attraction and a friend of mine gave me a video of The Gift several years ago when I was at a low point in my life. I won't say it changed my life, but I did try to follow the basic tenets outlined and the problems I was facing improved for a while. I think that you have had the same issue that I am having. How do you stay up and stay positive when life (or the universe) keeps punching you in the face? If it was as easy as they say, then everyone following these rules should be happy as hell. I still try to stay positive, I will repeat the Abundance Prayer to help me focus on the positive, but WOW it's HARD! I don't want to bore you with the details (this would become a very long comment) but it comes to this: when things seem to be going good for a while, inevitably I get sucker punched with something negative I never saw coming. I'm beginning to feel a little calloused and bitter and I hate that. I've always been a positive person but in the last 10 years or so it's like the universe had definitely taken a dislike to me. What can I do to set aside those negative feelings and get the good mojo flowing? I can't seem to find the answer to that question.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous - thank you so much for your comments and question and I'm glad to know the video prompted you to ask! It is very hard sometimes to stay positive and I know all about those sucker punches in life, too. One thing I do every morning that a guy I follow on YouTube does (and this is someone who says his life was a real mess before he discovered the LOA and now he's happily married and centered)...I try to focus on and appreciate what is going *right* in my life instead of thinking about what seems wrong or lacking. So, although I do not have a full-time job right now I give appreciation for the freelance jobs I have and the fact that they bring in some kind of income. I appreciate the home I'm in (even though it's not mine, at least I have a home), the new friends I've made during the past year, the animal companionship of my cats, my health and healthy mind/body, etc. I've also been listening to a lot of Abraham Hicks videos on YouTube and they instruct the same thing...to try to deactivate focusing on the sucker punches and focus on what you want or currently have that you can appreciate. I can also tell you that a lot of their messages are to get happy now, despite the circumstances. I have found that when I can decide to be happy now no matter what is going on, and then write something down in my journal that is when it shows up (like all of the out of the blue money I manifested this month.)
DeleteThis isn't to say you shouldn't mourn, grieve, feel sad, etc. when life throws that sucker punch at you. You should allow yourself to feel those feelings; to deny them would just make things worse. But then, when it seems the cobwebs have started to clear a bit (however long that takes), start to reach for better feeling thoughts and work your way back up the emotional scale.
Another tip...the other night I was feeling kind of ornery so I wrote out a list of ten things I'm grateful about. Right away I started to feel better...as here I was focusing on the positive instead and what was going right.
I hope this helps.
Hey Pam, I usually reserve my comments for your other blog GoRetro, but I was impressed with your video here & wanted to let you know. You look terrific, you had a great delivery & lots of interesting things to share. (And wow, I am diggin' that Boston accent!) I hope we see more of you in future posts. :)
ReplyDeleteWell thanks, Doug...it took some courage for me to finally record video of myself because in the past I wasn't so crazy about my voice and my appearance on video but when I played this back I realized neither are as bad as I thought they were (and I think I missed my calling...I could have been a quirky character actress in a '70s sitcom with snappy one-liners for dialogue.) I plan on making another soon when I get a smartphone tripod and want to record one for Go Retro as well. Thanks for the compliments and for commenting! :)
