@Grace You're right! Personally, I do consult one of my sister for advice whenever I'm stuck. More often than not, she helps me put things into a positive perspective and that's an important part of the whole reframing process. But this can be a double edge sword though. Especially if that "person" leads u away from what you should be doing so it's important to weigh the feedback that was given to you. Especially on your goals. In case you're wondering why I said that, check out this.

I’ve alway tried to be optimistic about everything in my life but when something passes my limit, I usually confront my parents or trusted friends. Friends always have the right answer that they usually blurt out so it makes me comfortable around them and telling them about my situation. ^.^

This is a great website, and it was very helpful. I received help so I will give. It often works for me to take a walk outside or listen to music that I love. These are just two, and different things work at different times. Today I needed something else, and while I’m not sure if I found it. This did get my mind off things and make me smile. So thanks and by the way sitting still in a quiet place to clear your head is not a bad way either.

@Don Mediation… hmm. I’ve heard it works well in clearing the mind. I’ve never tried it before but I guess it must have it’s merits. Feel free to browse around Goal Setting College. If you’ve got great thoughts to share, drop me a mail yeah

Being stuck is normal for us all at times I believe. A walk, short meditation or a few pages of a very inspiring book helps me in most cases get my miind on straight. Like it’s been said above, talking w/trusted advisors helps, sometimes, except when we KNOW the response we will get and just have to trust our gut and GO FOR IT!

I just found this website and love it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Merry Christmas to all!

@Andre Fantastic, thanks for clearing the air about LOA and intuitive work! I think it gives readers who’re interested to go for a spiritual reading a completely refreshing take on it. Oh I see, so Tarot cards can be used as a tool as well! Will check out that book you mentioned. Thanks for the recommendation!

You’re so right about the issue people have with LOA. Naturally, if they’re constantly seeing scarcity and limitation, they’ll manifest more of such in their lives. What made this interesting is, it actually contravenes some of the conventional ideas we’ve been hearing. For example, the subject of saving money. Being thrifty actually emphasizes on the scarcity & lack and many people (including myself) believes in the importance of it. At the end of the day, it’s important to maintain a balance and that’s probably – in my opinion – what makes certain ideas difficult to employ.

@Lola, thanks for adding to the chatter! I’m glad you like the story. I was mesmerized by its simplicity when I first read it and knew I had to share it!

Hey Ellesse

I wasn’t particularly feeling stuck but, you just reframed my mind with this post! I love the concept of being at 0, the only way is up then.

Short ‘n’ sweet…

In love, light and abundance x x x

Hi Ellesse,

I think intuitive work and Law of Attraction definitely tap into the same realm! But intuition is something we cultivate – we can totally decide to ignore our intuitive abilities, and most people do. The Law of Attraction, on the other hand, is like gravity. It just works!

I think that what we attract is a perfect mirror of who we are – so if we have “problems” with the Law of Attraction and “making it work” it’s because there are aspects of ourselves that we don’t know, don’t want to acknowledge, or are very fearful to even look at!

By the way, tarot cards are a tool that allows you to receive messages from your Higher Self/Guides. It’s a way to receive the information while circumventing the mind (which tends to get in the way). There’s a nifty little book out there called “intuitive Tarot” which will get you up and running in a couple of hours! I personally don’t use the tarot, because there can be so many interpretations of the results. I like dowsing with a pendulum better.

Thanks for the interesting conversation!

Blessings,
Andrea

@Al Cool! I’ll let you know if there’s any further developments on that! I used skype to call my mum once from Pakistan. Oh my, it was quite clear! The only issue I forsee is probably the time difference. And naturally, the no. of readers who express their interest.

@Pat Thanks for sharing your experience and insight on how journals have helped you to get out of the seasonal rut! I strongly agree with you that facing the feeling/challenge when it’s small. Sadly, not a lot of people are as courageous as you! We often wait till the problem gets snowballed until it gets out of hand.

But even then, an elephant can still be eaten. One bite at a time, that is.
