Stress Fest (Day 52: 4/21/10)

Hey, what's the good news?

I have to admit that yesterday was a stressful day. Paperwork piled up, I had business regarding school to take care of, and I sort of felt backed into a corner.

What do you do when you feel stress? It's definitely not beneficial to your Law of Attraction process. I could feel the negativity simmering below the surface, and I needed it to go away.

I decided to keep up my activeness and went down to my basement to do some exercise. The hour I spent learning Janet Jackson dance moves went by pretty quick, and I actually felt the stress disappearing.

Who knew that exercise is a good way to take your mind off of things??? Well I'm pretty sure a lot of people already know this...but I am excited to report that it is true! It's pretty fool-proof. If you don't want to spend time doing de-stressing techniques, or you aren't comfortable meditating, I recommend taking a walk/jog or doing some form of involved physical activity.

The fun part is that after doing that yesterday, this morning when I woke up I felt renewed and amazingly, every single issue that I was stressing about yesterday got resolved within the first 5 hours of my day. Great stuff.

This is more prove that we have already manifested anything that we could ever want. The important part is stepping out of the way to let it happen. My stressing about it all actually kept me from getting anything done, and I was not in a state of allowing. As soon as I focused on something else and started to feel good again, stuff happened. I am proud of myself for realizing my state of disallowing and making the conscious decision to not mope and instead did something about it.

I have school and work tomorrow, and I anticipate what a good day it will be! Tomorrow is Earth Day, I am hoping to give something back to my home in honor of the many things that are provided to me.

I wonder, what are you doing for Earth Day?

Are you going to plant a tree? Are you going to pick up trash? Recycle something? Whatever you do, I am sure that it will make an impact on this wonderfulness that we call home. I wish that for more than myself, Earth Day could be everyday. There doesn't have to be a designated day where we can just stop and think outside of ourselves for a few minutes. Say "Thank you" for the planet that you live on and the many opportunities that are presented to you. Even if you feel like you don't have much, it could always be a lot worse. Just the fact that you are reading this is prove enough that you are fortunate. Internet is a luxury my friend, and you are blessed to have the opportunity to use it. I know I am.

And think about how this will work for you in the long run. Remember when I talked about the importance of gratitude? If you are grateful for something, you are appreciating. When you are in appreciation, you feel good. According to the teachings of Abraham, it is impossible to feel happy and sad/mad/whathaveyou at the same time. You just can't do it. It's an either/or kind of thing. (And I think i understand. I mean we can claim that we are happy and sad at the same time, but what we really feel is sadness, we just are aware that there is something positive there. Or we are happy but aware of the possibility of unfortunate circumstances in the situation.)

So just take a moment tomorrow and be thankful for something. It can be anything. It's going to help you out.

Have a happy Earth Day tomorrow, and smile!
