Conscious Creation Tip

Hold Out for Something Better

 

When you’re faced with an option that you don’t believe is in your highest good, don’t take it because it seems to be your only option. Believe that there is something better on the horizon and hold out for that Something Better.

It’s a Re-Direct!!!!!!!!!!

 

Tired of making or encountering MISTAKES? Hitting the wall? How about running into Murphy’s Law? You make plans and God laughs? Then there are “problems,” “challenges,” “issues,” “dead-ends,“ “failures,” “disasters,” “disappointments,” “hiccups”….we can go on and on…

 

But now hear this! These are not what you think they are. Forget those old labels. What you are experiencing are Universal RE-DIRECTS!

 

How many times have you obsessed over what went wrong, perhaps blaming others or blaming yourself? How often do you keep trying to work through something that isn’t working? How much time have you wasted pushing a rock up a hill? How long have you hung onto problem clients or miserable relationships?

 

These are all symptoms of someone who has not yet realized that the Universe is offering you valuable information—Try something different! Change your attitude. Change your actions. Change your expectations. Change your team. Change your route. Change your job. Change your intention. Change your partner. Let go of this course of action!

 

Many people ignore the gentle nudges that the Universe offers until they get hit with a sledge hammer. But all along the way, you’re being re-directed to new more life-enhancing choices. But if you don’t do it, the Universe will do it for you.

 

I experienced this about 12 years ago when I was running my $2 million bi-coastal public relations agency. It had become a burden; the fun had gone out of it. Instead of doing creative PR for my clients, I was chasing money to pay my enormous overhead. And furthermore, my heart was elsewhere, loving a hobby business that I had created in the sale of mineral spheres. I saw the signs, but just kept trying to juggle clients, vendors, employees—with challenges everywhere. The business was imploding on itself, and I couldn’t cut the cord. Finally, three clients all went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the same month, owing me $150,000! That was a very big OUCH, and it was the final straw. I finally closed up the business, found another opportunity for myself immediately, and finally relaxed to enjoy life again after finding a way to settle with my creditors. The Universe was re-directing me to something far more life-enhancing than that stressful, meat grinder that I had suffered through for those last two years.   

 

When you hit a roadblock, instead of railing against fate, ask yourself: “What is this Universal Re-Direct all about? How can I look at this objectively, step aside and think differently?” You’ve heard the phrase “everything happens for a reason.”  Apply that to your Universal Re-Directs and you will begin to see that each one is a blessing in disguise. There are NO mistakes, NO errors, NO Accidents, NO missteps, NO faults…There are ONLY Universal Re-Directs!

 

Use these wonderful nudges as your guide early on, and you will find your life being easier and more effortless. Tune into the Universal language of course correction and you will be rewarded with greater and quicker success, more peace and joy, less struggle and greater abundance.

 

Just remember, if it’s too hard, you’re being called for a Universal Re-Direct!

Notes from Jackie

Sacred Sundays…After years of having to work Sundays to manage the work load on my desk, this past year I began a practice that I call my “Sacred Sundays.” Undoubtedly, there was wisdom in the biblical mandate to keep the seventh day for holiness and sacredness. And while I don’t go to a house of worship, my house is a house of worship. On my Sundays, I do the following things: treat myself to sleeping in, enjoy the pleasure of reading the full Sunday paper, meditate and dialogue with the divine, read books, exercise in the sun on nice days, and generally recharge my energy and reboot my mind. I’ve stopped reading emails and allowing outside intrusions. It’s my day for myself, to ease my inner mind, take a time out from the turmoil of life and remind myself of the Universal support I have around me. I know that many people have responsibilities that won’t allow them to spend a full day in self-care and self-regeneration, but I do encourage you to try to find at least a half day every week to pamper yourself and shut out your world cares. It makes you so much more ready to enter the new week with a calmness and peacefulness that can create a positive vibration that ripples forward. It helps prevent burn out, and makes you more centered, self-confident and aligned. And if you’re like me, it makes you happier! So here’s to Sacred Sundays!
