Everything Happens for a Reason

When something happens in your life that you weren't expecting or didn't want, such as a car accident, losing your job or perhaps a loved one falling ill, it is so easy to become so wrapped up in the problem, you can do nothing but focus on it.

As we know, the Law of Attraction, then responds to those vibrations you are sending out into the Universe, and sends you more of the same - what you don't want!

How do you address this problem? Well, I think you have to acknowledge it. I know Abraham Hicks says we should not acknowledge a reality that we don't want to face, but how else do you address your fears?

I truly believe that when you acknowledge your worst fears to yourself, you can then start with a plan on how to focus on what you do want your reality to be.

They say "a problem shared is a problem halved". I think there is some truth to this saying because you feel a sense of relief when you verbalize the problem. That somebody knows what you're going through.

The key is not to keep verbalizing the problem, (otherwise known as complaining or whining!), and start instead to focus on the SOLUTION.

Too often we get stuck in complaint mode. We are all guilty of it at some point in our lives. Simply state the problem and then ask for help, whether it's your family, friends or God!

Then you need to focus on what you do want to happen?

Visualize the end result, not the process, and focus on the positive aspects of the experience.

There is always a lesson in everything that happens to us.

If you are in a car accident and survive uninjured, it's a lesson in gratitude. That you were unharmed and have the insurance necessary to fix your car. Maybe you wanted a new car anyway?

If you lost your job, maybe a better opportunity is on it's way to you? Or you have the chance to finally realize your dreams and pursue a career you do enjoy.

If you fell ill and regained your health, it is a lesson to be grateful, and not take your health for granted. Remember, health is your most valuable asset.

What are you going through today that you need help with?

If you cannot see light at the end of the tunnel, and are so filled with anxiety that you don't know where to turn, I highly recommend using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). Created by Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer, EFT is a brilliant tool for releasing that anxiety.

EFT involves tapping on the meridian points on your body to release the blocked energy. Check out his website, (www.emofree.com), for more information. The DVD's he sells to learn this technique are invaluable.

Remember, tomorrow is another day.

Focus on the lesson you are learning and the desired solution, and not the problem.

You can do it!
