Life does go on, so how do we keep focus on love and expansion while the economy seems to be suppressing us?

If news reports trigger a feeling of powerlessness in you, then your first choice is to turn you attention to what you do want to feel and then focus on that.

No one wants to feel powerless so create empowerment in your life first, by choosing how you will feel and what you will focus on.

You cannot look at what you do-not-want, without feeling or contributing to that vibration of what you do-not-want.

Turn your attention away from what you do-not-want and look for the polar opposite thought, feeling and outcome. This will give you a new outline of a story that you can start 'telling'.

Attention=Love - Wherever you attention is, it is equal to the intensity of loving it.

Attention to what is will confirm to you more of what is. Attention to what is will confirm to you more of what is. Are you getting the point?

Subconsciously, we selectively gather evidence to prove our established beliefs. Our beliefs are practiced thoughts.

Our subconscious broadcasts our beliefs through our energy field which magnetises or draw to us people and events that prove our beliefs. If you believe that you will be adversely affected by what others call a recession, then your energy field is drawing like a magnet, feelings and events which will prove your belief.

If you really believe in abundance, you can create an abundant reality, without paying attention to what everybody else is doing or not doing. You are an infinite being and you can hold in your consciousness anything you wish to focus on.

Decide today; I am going to tell a different story than what-is-happening. I am going to pay attention to feeling good.

It is not the money that we want, it is the feeling that money gives us: security and freedom. Freedom and security is a good feeling. That is what we want and the desire, we want to feel good. When there is challenge in your life, do you put all your attention to the stress or issue and all your focus on the problem? Do you decrease the time in Meditation, visualisation or exercise because you have to keep 'working' on the challenge? Where is your attention? In our striving towards feeling good, we can keep focusing on the pain. But is you really want to feel good, then can you just do that? That is what you really want, to feel good.

Attention + Time = Your reality.

If you want your financial outlook to change, then increase your attention to feeling good first, as if there is no lack. Increase the joy in your life. Increase the amount of exercise so your body can focus on feeling good. Allow yourself to feel good and give your attention to harmonising your internal state and the external state (the financial energy around you) will change, naturally.

Meditation is more important than ever when under challenge. Through Meditation, we change our internal state, then the external state changes as we vibrate at a higher energy and we feel better. In Meditation, we do make a difference to the consciousness of the world. What we individually focus on and allow ourselves to feel is very important to empowering the earth and its collective energies.

Changing our thoughts is the first part of the equation to changing our state. Every thought you can change will give you access to a better feeling. Your feelings and emotions are the real guideposts as to your vibrational alignment. If you feel dread, when you hear of the downward spiral, then you body is giving you signs that there is harmony to be yet achieved within.

Pay attention to how you are feeling, no one else matters, as you change first, others may than choose to join you in your higher vibration. It does not matter what everybody else is creating in their reality, it only matters what you are creating.

Decide you are going to happy no matter what. If that means turning off the news and TV, than do it. If it means you are never going to pick up a newspaper again, then do it. It's your choice...

Decide no matter what others are vibrating at, you are going to be happy and abundant with joy.

If you don't have a reason to be happy then make one up and visualise, visualise, visualise let your imagination run...return to innocence, just like a child. Most of your subconscious beliefs were formed when you were a child, so by returning there as an adult with wisdom and in innocence, gives you a chance to reprogram them.

If you see something that disturbs you, deal with it, don't let it brew in the subconscious. Unwanted events or things appearing in your focus were attracted there by a similar resonance within you. Strong negative emotions are signposts that you have disconnected from your beautiful spiritual essence of love. Take time to deal with the feelings and learn tools that can give you mastery over your emotions and mind.

Choose who you spend time with and how uplifting they are. Be picky about your thoughts, just like you are picky about your car and your clothes. Be selective as to what you hold in your attention, it equals love...

Start with these simple thoughts in a Meditative state, if you are feeling negative or suppressed:

*'What better feeling, than the one I am feeling, am I capable of feeling to lift me up?'

e.g.: Anger is at least more empowering than depression and hopelessness. Appreciation is better than frustration. Joy is a higher vibration than contentment.

*'When I notice negative feelings, I am happy to know it is a sign from my body to choose a higher thought or feeling'
*'It is marvellous that money and my feelings about money are another way I can to expand.'
*'As I grow past my perceived limitations, so too does the economy'
*'As I grow and expand, so others are free to do so as well'
*'When I choose different thoughts, I am making a difference to the world'
*'It is good for me to spend more time dreaming than on the reality'
*'I feel good!'
*'Only good things come to me'
*'Everything is working out better than I think is possible'

Notice how these Meditations take you from one vibration to another slightly better vibration that feels better, this is how you gradually change your feelings and focus.
