Thanks so much for claryfying this process a little, freewil.

I am often aware that I create my reality, or at least try to rremember that I am living primarily in my mind, but how often do I catch myself as I question exactly what I just affrimed I want. Actually I seem to spend most of my time worrying if what I want is really the right thing to want etc…….

I also know that focusing is the most important mechanism by which I direct the development of my mind and experiences, but I am far from staying focused and creating what i really want.

So thanks again for the reminder.

I would add that emotional state is also key. Mental discipline itself is insufficient. I find that consciously choosing gratitude for what I already have is a primary force in generating further improvements. When I get disappointed by what I haven't accomplished, upset about what I don't yet have, then my emotional energy feeds the negative, and I continue to create false scarcity. To live in abundance, I only have to realize that it is already true. This article helps me remember~

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following- There would be: 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south, and 8 Africans. 52 would be female, and 48 would be male. 70 would be non-white, 30 would be white. 70 would be non-Christian, and 30 would be Christian. 89 would be heterosexual, and 11 would be homosexual.

6 people would possess 59% of the and all 6 would be from the United States. 80 people would live in substandard housing; 70 would be unable to read, and 50 would suffer from malnutrition. 1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth. 1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education, and only 1 would own a computer.

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding, and education becomes glaringly apparent. The following is also something to ponder…

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness…you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation … you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death…you are more blessed than three billion people in the world. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep…you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace … you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. If your parents are still alive and still married … you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada. If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful…you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not. If you can hold someone's hand, hug them, or even touch them on the shoulder…you are blessed because you can offer healing touch. If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Namaste,
Crow

Thanks 's so much Crow. I often need to be re-mind-ed, reset my mind to the truth, that my attitude is what determines my feelings. And that practicing gratitude no matter what makes me feel good, no matter what.

The other basic tools of happy and healthy living I have been learning about I would like to list and ask everyone to help expand this list, so that eventually we come up with a glossary of Life skills that need to be taught in schools:

Gratitude
Gratitude puts me into a humble place of appreciation which is a prerequisite for feeling good about life and the world.

Expect positve outcomes
Who ever said we have to look for negative outcomes? Expecting negatives is what we call worry, fear, stress, etc. Definitely recognized as a major cause in all diseases and emotional problems.

Let go of all judgments
Judgments are self damnations. If I think someone is a thief because he's rich, I forbid myself to ever become rich. If I judge baldness to be ugly, I will hate myself when i turn bald.
Only free from judgments I can percieve reality as it is.

Forgive
Forgiving ios the tol to free myself from the past, especially from traumas. A trauma will persist until i forgive it. and a mistake as well. Forgiving serves my liberation, not the one i had to forgive. And forgiving myself for my part in the story is usualluy more important than everything else.

Activate the Knower
We all need to learn to discover the point of witness consciousness, observer or knower, our higher self as open minded awareness, the “aware will” as Psychosynthesis founder Roberto Assagioli called it, from which we know that we are not our emotions, thoughts, and feelings, but centers and directors of intuition and attention by which we create, allow or disallow our experiences. To find that spot of spirit, from which we direct our thoughts, try mindfulness meditation as introduced in my guided meditation “Awareness in the Now” (see my blog, can't find the link now).

Focusing
Focusing is our main tool to determine what we choose to experience and can be used consciously to determine life direction and outcomes. For further insights into the pactice check www.focusing.org.

Please, all: add to this list.
