I just read the conversation that NCbeareating man reposted where Shannon was talking about attuning to the reality I want. Great stuff, and it made me think about a few things. First, things hadn’t gone right because my negative “daydreams” were fully encompassing. When I thought about something not going right, I was THERE in the experience fully engaged and in the moment I was visualizing to the point that the outside world was blocked out of my consciousness. In other words in the state that Shannon was saying you want to be in relating to what you do want. It happened spontaneously and every time I let my guard down, and it was really difficult to realize what was happening and pull myself out. What this sub and USLM have done for me is stop these things from happening so much and with that level of intensity. What I still have trouble with is getting myself into that state in any kind of directed manner regarding things that I do want to have happen. I get there sometimes, but it’s kind of by accident. I just lightly daydream and I go there. When I’m telling myself to get there, I get a forced visualization with no life to it.
I am going to try to do as Shannon recommends, and take five minutes to get into that state every morning and night. I have observed that I have an easier time with this when I imagine I’m talking to someone in my head and telling them about the great thing that’s happened, so I’ll start there.
