Yesterday I wrote about how the horse mirrors us and asked, “What mirrors you?”  Here is another take:

This is always true: What I think and how I feel, and what manifests, is always a vibrational match. But here’s the big kicker: What manifests isn’t manifesting instantaneously. So, you’ve got all this buffer of time leeway that makes you sloppy… If you thought a negative thought and a brick would instantly fall on your head every time, you’d clean up your thinking. But you’re not here to be punished about your thinking. You’re here to use your thinking—and your focus—to create.  Abraham, Excerpted from the workshop in Washington, DC on Saturday, May 7th, 2005

Today when I woke up I could feel myself looking for trouble.  I felt it through breakfast, and pretty much through most of the morning.  This is not my usual state (any more), so I was well aware of feeling edgy, cranky and like if there was poo on the road, I was going to step in it.  Which is, metaphorically, pretty much what happened.  A nice blow up with my daughter, and a raging neck ache.  Trouble delivered.

What I am practicing now is using my focus to create how I want to feel.  This is my recipe:  hug my daughter (done); take some motrin (done); pet a cat (happening now); take a bath; eat the beautiful dinner that raw chef Stacey Stowers is preparing for us tonight; watch Downton Abbey online.

Begin again.
