Acceptance is a part of the law of success. Sometimes you just can’t rise to the occasion and be positive and feel success.

When you are not well, when you are tired, when you don’t have food to eat, or a place to stay, it is hard to feel successful, positive and upbeat. Find a way to accept “the what is” for this moment. You will put yourself back onto the path the law of success each time.

We humans have basic needs of being able breathe, have some shelter, have food for fuel for the body, water to hydrate all the organs, cells, bones, tissues. If any of those survival needs are threatened, it is very challenging to be upbeat and hold thoughts of success and optimism. We all accept that those are human needs. The law of success acknowledges these needs.

Acceptance without judgment is absolute key when you are in a place of survival. Be calm, breathe. Accept what the circumstances are. Allow your body to relax. The law of success gives you permission to not always be at your peak 24/7.

On our trip to the northwest, my daughter and I stayed with a friend whose husband smoked. My daughter had a severe allergic reaction. She felt as though her lungs just simply could not get enough air. When we left, we went to visit my sister who lives on a farm. Last night the huge yard was mowed, and my daughter woke up in terror because she could not breathe. There were grass pollens that amped up another allergic reaction. Fear gets in the way of the law of success.

Normally very positive and optimistic, she is not feeling well, very tired, not feeling success, and can’t get her emotional legs under her yet. It is imperative that she accept that she doesn’t feel well, and remember this will pass. When you study the law of success, you need to have strategies to cope with times like these.

We all have things that happen that impair our ability to be optimistic and think positive, which impacts our ability to be successful. Be gentle with self. Say things like “Of course I can’t be positive right now. I don’t feel well. Things will get better.” When you tell yourself you are getting better, when you are gentle, when you accept self where you are, you are practicing the law of success.

Treat yourself like you would a vulnerable child, or someone you really cherish. Accept where you are. Don’t rag on yourself. This time will pass. Give yourself some time and space to let the situation pass. Acceptance is part of the process of dealing with down times when you practice the law of success.

Sometimes late at night, when I am very tired, I begin to worry. I have learned to simply say to myself “I can’t do anything about this situation right now. I know that my thinking is impaired when I am tired. I am going to do something to take my mind off this now. I’ll revisit this topic tomorrow.” Primary to using the law of success, is knowing one’s limits. When one’s basic needs are compromised, when can’t be on the top of our game. That’s OK. It is what is. The universe knows and accepts this. You need to as well.

I accept that I am tired, and divert my attention to something else – usually by reading. I have practiced this enough so that I can do it even when I am really nervous. Acceptance is key to taking care of self when you are physically or emotionally down. The law of success does not say you will be hyper charged, feeling good every day. It says, “Accept where you are today, replenish, and tomorrow things will be different.”

Things are always clearer when you have rested, eaten, or drunk needed fluids. You are flowing with the law of success when you accept your basic needs with kindness.

Success Secrets: Success is a state of mind

Success Secrets are fervently searched for. People often search outside themselves. The truth is that success is a state of mind. Faith is a state of mind. The Law of Attraction tunes into that state of mind. Part of the success secret is to learn that sometimes our state of mind gets soured for a while, and that acceptance is a powerful key.

Today I was feeling wonderful. Then I had an unpleasant interaction with my sister. Within minutes my day went south. Success Secrets indicate that the Law of Attraction would attract circumstances that would mirror my state of being. It did.

My daughter reminded me of the exercise, given these conditions, what can I be happy about? We recited lots of things that we were grateful for as we drove into town. I got my vibration up a little more. Then I had a disappointment, and my vibration went down a lot. Law of Attraction provided me more circumstances to fit my lowered vibration.

When we don’t feel happy, it is hard to hold optimism and attract success. Success secrets are not easy to follow when we are on the bottom end of the emotional scale. Acceptance is a powerful way to turn the tide.

It is so easy when circumstances are not favorable, to lower our vibration or state of mind. This happens especially with people with whom we have a deep connection. There was too strong a gap between my feelings and the gratitude I was reaching for to counter the dive I made into being upset. Part of the success secret so ably put by the work of Esther Hicks and Abraham, is to simply accept where you are.

“So things went south. So I don’t like what happened today. It’s not the end of the world. I am doing pretty good. I am not forgetting what I have learned. I am having a little detour into a tide pool. It’s OK. I know from experience that I will recover and very soon. So for today, I accept that I don’t feel so great and it’s OK. In fact, feeling irritated and cranky is a far better place emotionally than being depressed or in despair. In fact, my irritation serves me well, because it stopped the slide downward.”

This kind of dialogue with self shows the practice of acceptance, an important success secret. “I accept myself. I accept my feelings. Everything will turn out OK.”

My body takes a deep breath. I relax. “That’s right, everything will be OK.” Acceptance is a powerful success secret. Today I accept where I am. Tomorrow, I will be renewed. Acceptance that self does not have to be perfect is an important success secret.

Thanks for stopping by. May acceptance accompany your journey. May success secrets be revealed to you continually.

Recognition, Acceptance, and Coordination are three really important steps to be successful.

How do we coordinate all these contrary parts of self, contradicting beliefs, conflicting emotions and have some sense of being our true self? That is the age old quandary. A spiritual psychological approach with a lot of wisdom provides a five part process that I find very helpful. Psychosynthesis instead of Psychoanalysis. Bring together instead of separate into parts (although that is a helpful step in the beginning).

Recognition
Acceptance
Coordination
Integration
Synthesis

To truly be successful, we need to have all of our self on the same page. If the scared part of us is afraid to act, the cynical part of us completely assured that nothing ever works out, and the hopeful part of us thinking only positive thoughts, what do you think we radiate out to the universe? We are broadcasting very mixed signals, very conflicting feelings, and certainly opposite beliefs. Our vibration is confusing. What does the universe listen to when we are sending out such a mess of conflict?

Recognition of the conflict is the first step. Become aware that we have a small part inside, and a critical part inside, and an adult inside. Becoming conscious of the little “Family” of selves inside who have different thoughts, different beliefs, and different feelings is very helpful. Becoming conscious of our inner confusion is the first step because we are beginning to Recognize aspects of ourselves.

While not easy to do at first, Acceptance that we are a mixture of confusing signals is the next step. Beating up on ourselves is NOT the next step. Although if you have a critical part inside, you can bet that it will certainly want to go into action and tell you that you are bad and wrong for having such an internal bunch of feelings and thought. That is why you really need to reach for acceptance. Because you are able to step back, breath, see yourself, and accept yourself as you are. I have written a whole category on acceptance, which you might find helpful.

Coordination is the third step in which you take your new awareness (recognition), your new acceptance of who you are just as you are, and you begin to coordinate your personality in such a way that you can harmonize all these different points of view that is sending conflicting messages into the universe.

In future posts, we will cover these very critical steps of the process of making the signals you send out from yourself to be what you want to be emitting, rather than having yourself be reactive to whatever is happening to you. Yes. This personal journey is work. But the benefits are so worth it, and you can DO IT. IT is possible. So hold the faith. Care for yourself and others, become aware of what you think, feel, and believe, and come back here to read about the next steps.

Survival and Contracting

Survival throws us into a state of contraction. When you are worried about whether you can have a roof over your head and food to eat, the body tenses, the mind worries, and our emotions run riots of fear. If your body gets scared because someone else’s driving puts you in physical danger, your body goes contracted. Energy condenses and you pull inward when you are in survival. Muscles go tight. Thinking gets rigid. Feelings wrap us in strangulation. Everything contracts in survival. This is existing in survival consciousness.

No matter how much you may want to feel positive and optimistic, when your body, mind and feelings are in survival and contracting, it is very difficult to reach for positive thoughts. It is helpful to know about this state of survival, because if you can recognize it, then you do some things to help yourself move.

The first step is Recognition. “Oh. This is a survival state. My body mind and feelings are doing what they do when they are in survival.” This may be fight, or flight or paralysis. If your natural instincts are to fight when you are in survival, you can move easier. When you have anger there is more movement than when you have fear. Anger is actually movement up the emotional scale away from depression, worry and despair. Inventory what your body, mind and feelings do when they get scared so you will know and recognize when you have tipped into survival.

Acceptance is the second step. “Of course my body would tense up, and I would worry if I don’t have enough money for gas to get to work.” “Of course I get scared and angry if someone tailgates me closely. Of course I get scared or angry when I am in survival.”

Reassurance and comfort can be an essential third action step. “I’m OK. Things usually work out. I’m an adult and I can be creative and figure out something here. I can pray. I can ask for help. I can talk to another person. There is always some resource available to me.”

“I can breathe. I can relax. I can soothe my body, mind, and feelings. That part of me feels really small, and reacts in tension, but there is more to me than a scared part, or a child like part. I don’t have to have all the answers now. All I need to do is become aware that I am in contraction. I am in survival. Once I recognize that, I can begin to accept where I am and relax. As I reassure myself and remember that I have gotten out of these places before, my body relaxes, my mind lets go, and my feelings unwind. Then I am available to take even more action steps because I am moving out of contraction. The way becomes easier when I move out of survival awareness, and I can access more of myself.”

This kind of self talk gives your body mind and emotions reassurance. It is a helpful way to move out of survival thinking, feeling and acting.

Quantum Leaps are often desired by those of us who use the Law of Success. Have you ever heard the phrase “Be careful what you ask for, for you may get it?” Of course I have wanted to have quantum leaps in my own life as well. I asked for it. I received it. It has been a surprise.

It showed up in the form of an illness that became life threatening. As a result, I had to surrender to the Universe and wait as The Mystery of Life takes me on its own journey. When I was in my late 20’s, I had a mega dream from which I woke with my heart pounding. In the dream I was on the back of a huge wild beast. I was infinitesimal by comparison. The beast was going its way, I had no control. I could barely hang on.

Recent events helped me remember that dream. That metaphor for the greater Mystery of Life helps me remember that Life is so much bigger than us. The Universe is so much more vast than us, and there are times when we need to surrender to the greater Power that is. And there are times that actually force us to do that.

My illness has done that. But in the process great transformation is occurring and I am looking forward to sharing that as time goes forward. Hope you are all well.
