Releasing

Clear the Economic Fear - EFT with Brad Yates

I heard a guy talk about life as “the vulture on the bedpost” waiting to talk to us as soon as we wake in the morning.

If I stay in my head and think about how bad life is today, how many people will die to day, how many people will loose their jobs today, and on and on and on, I will spiral into a deep depression. So, I need to get out of this mind set.

This is not to say that these things do not happen and that they are not important to the individuals effected. But it will not do them any good for me to wander thru depression. I cannot get depressed enough to make someone else feel better.

The only way that I can help this world is to operate at a higher level than sitting in depression. If I want to be of any help to anyone, I must get out of this spiral.

I have found that sometimes I have to fight that vulture that greets me as soon as I open my eyes. Sometimes I cannot even put my feet on the floor before he is trying to put me into a deep funk.

So, for me, I fight back as soon as I open my eyes. And the best way for me to do this is with a gratitude list. I begin thinking of ten things that I am grateful for before I even get out of bed.

For starters:

1. I am above ground (not buried)
2. I am sucking air (still breathing)
3. Not in a box (not dead and ready for burial)

Once I get thru these, everything else is gravy. With those things in place, I can work with anything.

The next thing that I start thinking about is how can I be of service to mankind today? What can I do to help make the world a better place to live in?

One question that I ask myself on a regular basis is “How can I be the best (fill in the blank) today”?

When I go thru my day trying to be the best I can be, I am working to be better. And a good daily goal is to be better to day than yesterday.

“If I turn it over to my higher power and it gets screwed up, it is His fault”

If you have something bothering you, put it into a “God Box” and let it go. I mean write this big deal thing down on a piece of paper and put it into a container of some sort and turn it over to your higher power or supreme being. If this thing is too big for you, let someone else handle it. Let it go and forget about it.

Then, a couple of months down the road, look at the things you have put in the box. You will find that most of these things have either not come to pass or you cannot even remember why you thought they were so big.

So, to get this big nasty bird off of your bedpost, practice gratitude and turning things over.

Life is as good as I allow it to be.
