Law of Attraction Dinners April 2010
We have had two amazing LOA dinners in April (actually the Sydney one sneaked into May!).
For the Wollongong one we visited Mt Kembla Hotel - if you have not been there well worth a visit. We have now commenced the more practical elements of the LOA - have provided the theory - now it is time to get to the nuts and bolts. Here are the scenarios we looked at - you may like to respond to these.
Scenario 1
Totally Disorganized
“I’d like to be an organized person, but I just can’t seem to get it together. I have a variety of interests, and all of them bring a certain amount of stuff with them. My house is full of things that are interesting to me, to the point that every place I look I see clutter. I seem to find the time to think of new projects and gather up more stuff that relates to them, but I don’t find the time to put my things in order. I spend a great deal of time just looking for things. Occasionally I set a day aside with the intention of getting it all cleaned up and organized, but I get bogged down almost as soon as I begin because it just feels so overwhelming to clean it up. I know that I should throw most of it away, but I can’t bring myself to do that for fear that as soon as I release it, I’ll need it or want it for some reason. So I just keep gathering, and I’m buried in my stuff. I can’t delegate these organizational tasks to anyone else because no one else knows what’s important to me. And if someone else were to organize it, I still wouldn’t know where things are. I know that I need to clean this mess up and get myself organized, but I feel paralysed.”
Pick out the upstream statements.
Write out a way of approaching this to bring relief eg move downstream.
Scenario 2
“I would like to have the confidence to do something different with my life. I am stuck in this job that I don’t like – I have been here for years. Nothing seems to change. I do not feel that I am appreciated. I had to reapply for my position recently and I only got the position because I was the only applicant. Life is unfair – other people seem to be happy in their lives, but nothing goes right in mine.”
What is this person attracting?
With your knowledge of LOA, what would you recommend?
Scenario 3
In the box next to each of these statements write whether they are upstream or downstream. If they are upstream how could you change the words to make them a downstream statement.
“You don’t understand how hard my life is”
“I never have any money for what I want to do”
“There are many positive things happening in my life”
“I’m tired of always being the one to make amends”
“My children have no respect for me”
“It will not feel this awful forever”
“I’m going to speak to him in more optimistic terms”
“I get paid on Friday but I’ll probably be broke again by Monday”
“I don’t think it’s right that most people at work do so much less than their best”
“I don’t know why I’ve tried to make it so complicated”
“I’m enjoying exploring my options”
“My husband/wife isn’t even trying to understand”
