Energy Manifesting

Are there days where it seems like everywhere you turn you are seeing and/or hearing something that makes it difficult for you to keep your mind focused on positive thoughts?  Is it difficult for you to believe that what you desire to manifest is on its way to you?  You turn on the TV.  You read the newspaper.  You talk to people.  All you see and hear is what is going wrong - war, poverty, crime, what is wrong with this celebrity, what is wrong with that, and so forth.  Conversations seem to focus on people complaining about everything that is wrong with their lives.

Sometimes it is difficult to see or hear anything positive.  It is as if all people want to do is hear about how much worse someone else is than them, as if somehow it will make their own lives better.  Or they just want you to agree with them that their lives really are terrible, as if that is how it is supposed to be - you should be unhappy with your life, not thrilled to wake up every morning to see what the world will bring you.

What do you do when you want to manifest a new affordable house, but all you hear is that housing prices are skyrocketing and interest rates are going up?  Or you want your dream vacation, but all you hear is that it is not safe to travel?  Or you are looking forward to having a really good meal at your favorite restaurant and the person you are with complains about everything from the drive there to the service to the color of the paint on the walls?

When everything you see or hear is telling you what is wrong, what is bad with the world, what is not “right,” how are you supposed to feel good or think positive thoughts so that you can manifest what you desire?  How are you supposed to believe that you can have what you want?  How can you stay motivated?  How can you think the thoughts that will create the reality you want to create?

It takes some work on your part, but it can be done.  And before you know it, once again you will be back on the path of thinking, feeling and believing what you need to in order to manifest your desires.  Here are some ideas on how to start.

Turn off the TV.  Stop reading the newspaper.  If it is really important, trust me, you will find out.  After all, your friends, family, and co-workers are watching TV and reading the newspaper - soaking up everything they are hearing and seeing, and just like a sponge that is oversaturated, those negative sounds and images have to leak out to someone.  They will want to be the first one to tell you when something important happens.  If you often discuss what you watch and read about with them, they will continue your old negative conversations, unless you decide to stop, change, or limit those conversations.

When someone asks you how you are, even if you are not feeling absolutely, incredibly great, say that you are anyway.  You will be amazed at how much your outlook on life and even how you feel will change when begin saying only that you are wonderful and feeling quite well.  It may also change the other person’s response to you.  For example, if you ask them how they are, they may be so flabbergasted by your response that they forget they were going to tell you about their aches and pains, and instead tell you that things are going well with them too.

Are you stuck in a car with a long commute?  Turn off the radio.  It is amazing how radio shows are no longer about listening to your favorite songs, but rather a rehash of negative events.  How do you counteract this negativity?  Visit your local library or bookstore and get books on tape or CD.  Your trip will appear shorter and you may learn something new.  If you need to check on traffic issues, determine what time the commentators talk about the traffic and only turn the radio on around that time, turn it off when you are done and go back to the audio book.

Stop having conversations where you and/or the other person complain.  Instead, talk about what is going right in your life and in the world.  Talk about what is good about other people.  It might take some time, but eventually the people you talk to will begin to change what they talk about.  If you do get drawn into a conversation where everyone is telling you their “bad news of the day,” you can do several things to change what you hear.  You can change the topic of conversation or say you would rather not hear anything about the topic (This may be hard to do the first time because it may feel like you are hurting the other person’s feelings.).  Or, you can listen to the negative topic and then, before the conversation is over, say that everyone has to say something positive.  This may make everyone laugh which by itself will make everyone feel better.  Not only will you be bringing positive thoughts into your life, but you will be bringing them into the lives of others, thus helping them, perhaps unknowingly, to manifest their desires.

Sign up for online newsletters that give you positive quotes, messages or guidance on how to use the Law of Attraction.  The more you surround yourself with positive thoughts and feelings, the more they will come to you.

Maybe one day you will turn on the TV or read the newspaper and only hear and see things that make you feel better about your life and the world in general.  But until that happens, you have to create the environment that allows you to create the good thoughts and the good feelings you need to create the reality you want.

As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”  You have to choose to see and hear the good, regardless of how much everyone and everything around you tries to tell you otherwise.  Whenever you encounter negativity, you have to change your focus.  Focus on the good things in life - now matter how small or big you think they are.  Think about what makes you happy.  Think about what you want to experience more of in your life.  And soon you will begin seeing more positivity in your life, which could lead to what you want to manifest appearing faster.
