How to Get Something by Doing Nothing

The title of this post might be a little misleading...I really do not mean you can get something by doing nothing. What I mean is that you have this wonderful tool in your arsenal for getting things that you want that does not involve actually doing any physical task related to acquiring said thing. This tool is a mental one..it involves being in a light, happy state...a state that works like a magnet to attract good things to you. All too often, we force things on the outside because we are convinced that we need to do X, Y and Z to get our desired result. All the while, we feel stressed and frustrated. We force ourselves to do certain things, all the while feeling like crap.

Sure, we may still succeed working in this manner, but things will come a whole lot harder and may take a whole lot longer. The idea that we can bring things to us by doing nothing more than feeling good and light and proceeding with a feeling that everything is taken care of is not something most people buy into. For some, it may seem counterintuitive, while for others, it sounds like downright silliness and naivete. But, speaking from personal experience, there is great truth in this idea. When we are feeling good and light, things just flow better. Like I mentioned before, the post title may be misleading...you kind of have to do something. That something is cultivating the mental discipline to adopt this mindset and read the books or do whatever it takes to drive these ideas deep into your mind, where they can take root. You will have to work on shifting your mental state when it gets off track. You will have to discipline yourself to regularly meditate, visualize or affirm.

This idea can seem uncomfortable at first. If you are looking for a job, for instance, it may feel uncomfortable to spend a whole day just feeling good that things will work out when your instinct is to spend a stress-filled day preparing resumes and poring over websites with job listings. Of course, you will need to attend to these sorts of matters, but I assure you things will go a lot more smoothly if most of your time is spent cultivating a mental state conducive to getting what you want than spending every waking moment pounding the virtual pavement, with a sinking feeling that you will never find anything.

When you do need to attend to the tasks of the physical world, do it with a positive energy, not a negative one fraught with force and stress. When you are really feeling the pressure, the best thing to do is something else, anything else. Ideally, the anything else will be something that will help reinforce more empowering beliefs. For example, the other day I was feeling a bit stressed about some stuff and I turned right to an Abraham-Hicks video on Youtube, discussing the ideas I am talking about in this post. My energy picked up immediately. Again, this idea that simply sitting around and feeling good may seem like wishful thinking, or even lazy, to some. But I promise you, it is a key ally in getting the things you want in life.



P.S. People often ask me what types of materials I have used to get where I am today and develop my mindset. Well, there have been a lot, but Bob Doyle's program was really the clincher for me. With no exaggeration, it literally changed my life
