I can hardly believe how scattered I’ve felt all week–so difficult to keep focused.
I had to go back to my own teleclass audio on Keeping On Track and relisten, and recommit to focus on my Dreams instead of on my what’s-wrongness!
A big part of my being unfocused was a feeling of dread. It was so subtle that I didn’t even notice it until a few days ago.
Ever had that feeling? For me, it was a heaviness I couldn’t put my finger on, thoughts that were shades darker than I wanted, a pessimistic thought-trend where anything positive was impossible, and a feeling like I needed to be looking over my shoulder for the next catastrophe.
When I realized what was going on I was so surprised–that just is NOT me! I’m used to being curious, upbeat, inspired, go-for-it, optimistic. Where did this dread come from, anyway?
I did a bunch of tapping on it because it was affecting every part of my life. I asked my Inner Wise Self where this might be coming from–any memories, or thoughts from childhoood…and I came to the conclusion that I had taken on my dad’s war energy.
IMAGINE being a….
…28 year old guy, going off to this world-wide war, feeling sad to leave his little family at home, becoming a mine-sweeper–shooting mines in the water from the bow of your PT boat!–in the ocean off Italy as bombs drop all around you; getting gangrene in your leg because you are so busy fighting you can’t even change your clothes or take your boots off. Imagine the dread of waking up every day thinking today is the day you might die.
This is the energy my dad brought home with him. These only some of the stories he told me–he wasn’t one of those silent sufferers who held in his war stories. He didn’t wallow in self-pity, either–it just was like it was.
But he had no knowledge of how to dispel the energy of the war from his system, and not only did he bring it home with him, it was added to the war energy my mother had been experiencing–trying to get by on low rations, raising two little boys by herself, displaced and alone stationed far from home, family and friends, missing him…
Boy did I tap! It took me a while, but I cleared it. What a difference! *** Now I could get back to my Daring Dreams!
Here’s the challenge: to stay focused on what the real truth of our Being is as we go through whatever experiences we’re going through. By tapping on what I found out was really my father’s energy, I brought myself back to my own truth.
How do you do that, too? You tap, and you ask yourself these important questions:
• What is a worthy dream upon which I want to stay focused, to which I want to give my attention and energy? How is the energy I’m experiencing right now not allowing me to do that?
• What is one thing I can do right now in order to get aligned with my dream?
• What is one thing I can do right now to expand and amplify my ability to breathe life into and create my dream?
• What is it I want to be known for? How do I act accordingly, so people remember me for the person I really am? What can I tap on right now that would help me be more Me?
• What is it I’d be disappointed in my last dying minute not to have done in my life? What’s one thing I can do today to realign myself and my activities so that I can do those things, right now?
• What have I not said to someone that I’m afraid to say but wish I could/would/did?
• How can I say it now, so even if I leave the planet in the next minute, I won’t be thinking, ‘oh I wish I had said…”
When you are doing those things and living from the truth of it, you are not in a recession, you are not scattered–you are present, awake, aware, and alive. You are vulnerable and real. That’s being alive. Do it! And have fun at it!
