allowing it, what is blocking me? My thoughts? My actions?

Dear Liz,

How can I block delivery of what I want from the U? Let me count the ways,
or at least show some examples. Abe sometimes refers to it as "that thing
that I do."

You may be a ping pong ball: Dear U, give me a vacation in Tahiti! [Tahiti
desire] That's silly, the U couldn't possibly give me a vacation to Tahiti.
I don't even have a passport, let alone a vacation wardrobe. And who would
watch my kids? [No Tahiti] But, I really, really want a vacation in Tahiti.
It's so beautiful there! [Go, Tahiti!] But, I would hate to have to be on
a plane so long! Especially with this terrorism thing. [No Tahiti] But, I
could get my writing off the ground if I were in Tahiti! I would be so
inspired to write my novel! [Tahiti] But, I wonder what illnesses people
get in Tahiti! I mean, like it's a really foreign country. And maybe
tourists are a real target for the local mafia! [Never mind that nobody's
ever said that Tahiti has a mafia -- It still tells the U why you don't want
Tahiti.]

Or maybe you don't believe you "deserve" to have this thing: I really,
really want to vacation in Tahiti, experience the incredibly gorgeous
beaches! Laze in such a spot of beauty. But, I don't deserve that. Why
should I be the one to get to go to Tahiti? I'm not that good of a person.
If I were a really good person, I wouldn't even want a trip to Tahiti. I'd
want to stay home and be a really good mother and advance in my job. I've
never done anything to deserve such a wonderful trip.

As Dr. Phil says, "What is this behavior getting for you?": I would love to
have a vacation in Tahiti! But, I couldn't possibly leave my aging neighbor
to cope by himself. He relies on me to take hot meals to him each day.
[Ever heard of Meals on Wheels?] And, I have to be the one to drive the car
pool everyday. I mean, those other parents have no sense of responsibility!
And, if I left the kids with my mother, why, she doesn't even iron their
clothes before they go to school! I never want my kids to be embarrassed by
wearing wrinkled sweats in gym class! My boss would be totally ineffectual
if I weren't there to take care of all the last minute work that he throws
at me. No, no Tahiti for me! [whine, whine, whine -- I'm such a martyr!
Everyone needs me. They'd be lost without me. Therefore, I am a wonderful
person!)

I really don't believe the U can deliver: I really want this wonderful
vacation to Tahiti, U! I'll have such fun! Thoughts to self: This is
silly. The U doesn't even know I exist. And, if it did, it can't go around
delivering things to people. What an absurd idea. I know that I get the
perfect parking spot every time now, but that's just a coincidence. And
getting those free tickets to Paul McCartney's concert was just a fluke --
it wasn't because I sent out a lightning bolt of desire. The U certainly
did not take that policy I needed from wherever I had put it and place it on
my bed! It must have been with other papers and fallen on the bed.

I can't get things unless I work for them: It's always been my dream to go
to Tahiti! It's what I want to do someday. But, I don't see how I'll ever
be able to afford it. My job just doesn't pay much. But, I'm not qualified
to do anything else. I've saved and saved, but something always comes up
that I have to fix and there goes my savings. I put money into the stock
market and it's now worth less than I paid for it. I don't even play the
lottery because I never win things. I must have been born under an unlucky
start. Nobody in my family's ever been wealthy, so I'll never get an
inheritance. And if some stranger left me money, I wouldn't accept it!
That would just be wrong! Maybe I could work a second job for the money
because nobody else is ever going to help me. I've had to work hard for
every thing I've ever gotten, and that's just the way the way life is!

Keep improving what I wished for: I really want a vacation in Tahiti! The
blue seas, the sandy beaches, the four star hotel, lazing on the sand and
drinking pina coladas. [Go] No, not pina coladas. There must be some
local drink. Yeah, that's what I want -- local cuisine! [Stop] The other
people there will be super friendly and relaxed. We'll really hit it off.
I may even meet an interesting man. [Go] But, I need to lose ten pounds
before I would feel comfortable starting a romance with someone new. I
guess I'll have to diet for a few months before I could go. [Stop] I can
just see myself -- laying under a palm tree, totally relaxed, reading a
romance novel! Wearing a red sarong over my swimsuit. [Go] No, not a red
sarong. A blue one would look better! And do I want to wear flowered
sandals or gold sandals? [Stop] [The U can't deliver what you want if you
keep changing your mind. The U starts delivering the package, complete with
pina coladas. You send it back because you want local cuisine. The U sends
the package, but with local cuisine. You send it back, asking for the
additional friends and that special someone. The U sends a new package, to
be delivered after you'e dieted for a few months and lost ten pounds. You
return the package because now you want a palm tree, a romance novel and a
red sarong. The U adds all of your requests and sends you the new package.
You get the idea. <grin>]

So, Liz, what is "that thing that you do?" Maybe you do more than one of
them? Me, too. But, once you know what it is, you can stay alert and as
soon as you see yourself doing that thing that you do, you can stop doing it
and start vibrating on a new vibe! (pivoting) Sometimes I just tell myself
to vibrate on a vibration that attracts whatever it is that I want. As long
as I believe, it works!

Good,Good, Good Vibrations!
