The Secret Is Wags

I love watching the law of attraction in action.  I’ve been thinking a lot in the last couple weeks about decisions I need to make.  So what have I received?  Several e-mails from people who are making decisions and want my input.

I appreciate those e-mails. Answering those e-mails was just what I needed to make my own decisions.  Every time I answered one of those e-mails, I was reminded of the foolproof two-step way of making great decisions.

Step One—Take The Path of Least Resistance

In the last post, I talked about The Ahhh Effect, the importance of releasing resistance and how to know when you have released resistance.  Once you have a sense of your resistance, you can use it to guide your decisions.
Every time you have a decision to make, you will have a feeling attached to each of your choices.  That feeling is your emotional guidance system in action.  It’s the way your inner being communicates with you.  The better you feel, the more aligned you are with source energy.  The worse you feel, the less aligned you are.  When you’re aligned, you’re acting in sync with your inner guidance, and these actions are always in your best interest.

So if you have a choice, here’s what you do.

1.     Write down your choices.

2.     Imagine you’ve made the first choice on your list.  You’re doing what that choice would entail or you’ve done it.  How does it feel to do or have done that? Close your eyes and really feel like you’ve made that choice.

3.     Write down a number, on the scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, that represents how that choice feels.

4.     Repeat steps 2 and 3 with each of your choices.

Whichever of your choices made you feel the best is your path of least resistance.

Keep in mind that “feel the best” can be relative.  Sometimes, none of your choices feel good (I’ve had a lot of experience with that lately).  In that case, you may be talking about the difference between a feeling of pure, unadulterated loathing (a 1 on the scale) and absolute disgust (a 2 on the scale).  You’d pick the choice that gave you the 2 feeling.

I didn’t understand this process in the past.  I used to think a decision had to actually feel good in order for it to be the right one.  It doesn’t.  It just has to feel a little better than the other choice because the second step in the decision making process will assure that any decision, even one that feels lousy, will work out great.

Step Two—Find The Positive Aspects of Your Choice

Once you’ve made your decision, it’s done.  Now, even if you didn’t make the “right” one (you weren’t honest about how you felt or you couldn’t really tell how you felt or whatever), all you have to do is get in alignment with the one you just made.

Abraham-Hicks say it best:  “Make a decision and then make the decision right. Line up your Energy with it. In most cases it doesn’t really matter what you decide. Just decide. There are endless options that would serve you enormously well, and all or any one of them is better than no decision.”

To line up your energy with the decision, find the positive aspects of it.  Focus on how it’s good for you or what you’ll get from it.

A couple months ago, when Tim and I found out about the US Census jobs that were available in our area, we talked about whether or not he should apply.  The job takes him away from the work we’re doing together and the vision we have for our future, but when we looked at the choice of not taking the job, it felt worse than taking it because at the moment, we need the money.

Once we made the decision, we both found the positive aspects of it.  I began talking about and focusing on how I’ll enjoy having some solitary time in the house.  Not that I don’t enjoy being with my husband—I do; but we’ve been working together at home for a long time, and I’ve missed having some peace and quiet to myself.  Tim began talking about and focusing on the new people he’ll meet and the new things he’ll learn.  He likes learning, and he’s a people person, so these things made him feel good. As a result, his job has been enjoyable to both of us, and it’s brought in even more money than we thought it would because he got a promotion within a week.

A Decision of My Own

Using this two-step process, I’ve made a decision about this blog.  Since I began writing it on January 1 of this year, I’ve posted daily.  I’ve enjoyed posting daily because the posts are my way of staying on track in my deliberate thought, law of attraction awareness journey.

Lately, though, the daily posts have become a bit of a strain because I have so many other things I want to do too.  When I looked at choice one—keep posting daily, it felt like a 7.  When I looked at choice two—back off to three or four times a week, it felt like a 9.  It’s the best of both worlds—I get to write posts but I get a bit more time to do other things.  I’m excited about that—so I’ve lined up with my decision.

Although running a decision past a friend or family member can be helpful because you often get ideas for choices you hadn’t thought of, ultimately, decisions must be yours.  You need to do what your guidance system recommends, not what someone else’s guidance system recommends.

When you listen to your guidance system and use your energy to align with whatever you choose, your decisions will always be right.
