I’ve got myself into a little bit of a pickle…
Before I discovered TSM, my daily ‘self help’ routine consisted mainly around principles & ideas associated with the Law Of Attraction (via Ronda Byrne & youtube). I would wake up & aim to be aware as much as I could & if my mind wandered too much or became negative, I would either make a point of registering the thought & quickly move on or I would counteract it with a repetitive, polarised opposite thought. I would do some gratitude work before I went down for breakfast. Before I started work I would do some basic meditation & visualisation work. I work at home as an artist, so throughout the day I would at least try & be aware/be present as much as I could. I would also visualise some of my goals throughout the day, with myself in the picture. During lunch I would do a ‘gratitude stack’. When I was outside I would make an effort to generally be more smiley with people (which is a pretty rare in London) & make a point of acknowledging things I liked or that were positive.
Overall, things seemed much better with this new positive approach to my weekly routine. My partner noticed how much calmer & positive I seemed. Rhonda Byrne stated that one had to try to “feel as good as one could” because the vibe’ we gave out was returned to us. The impression I got from her videos & writing was that she eliminated her depression relatively quickly with TSM. So, I thought I would take a few steps back, get Hales’ book & get to work on tackling some my negative thoughts, feelings of hopelessness or anxiety . When I started releasing I abandoned most of the LOA work mentioned above.
Over the last few days I’ve felt very conflicted. I’m nearly halfway through Hale’s book & again, I get the impression from the book that one is expected to notice a difference quite quickly, when for example, releasing on “resistance” or feelings of being “stuck”. At the mo I’m feeling really down & frustrated. The releasing I’m doing doesn’t seem to be noticeable at all & I’ve abandoned the LOA stuff that was making a difference.
So, I’m wondering is this a common crossroads I’ve found myself at? Is there a daily balance that I could get with TSM & LOA work – if so, what would that look like? How much releasing should I be doing throughout the day - 2 hours for example? Should I put LOA aside & focus on releasing until I get results? One may suggest releasing on "being in a pickle", but then as I'm not noticing a difference, regardless of how many countless times I release throughout the day, then I'll probably feel in a pickle again...
Many thanks
