Read how our Mastering Personal Creativity on-line learning program may be just what you need to really master your personal creativity.

One of the most significant changes occurred in my workplace. For more than a year, my position in the company had been a very demanding and stressful one. During last summer the stress really began to mount due to the company's growing customer base. My problem was that I simply did not have enough time in a day. Often I would find myself racing to beat the clock just so that I would be on time to pick up my son from aftercare.

Several weeks into processing with a friend, a situation arose where I had no choice but to consider approaching management with my issues. I was told by a reliable source, that doing so would likely lead to my termination.

Well, of course I panicked–LOL. Having just received the Sunday paper, I seriously thought about looking for possible employment opportunities.

Instead, I called my friend to process. She said exactly what I needed to hear: “This is what you’ve been working on, this is your creating coming into light. Don't give in to fear by looking for work in the newspaper. Those are old patterns trying to re-surface. Instead, recognize what your emotions are trying to tell you, and then visualize the outcome you desire accordingly.”

The next day, not only did I not lose my job, I was offered a higher position in the company. I now have more time, and I feel so much better.

Also, I felt it was necessary to create a happier and calmer workplace for all employees, not just myself. I can now see those changes beginning to manifest as well.

Everything Is Perfect, or Is It?

Recently a friend sent me an e-mail video of beautiful scenery accompanied by words similar to these: “The world has gotten more difficult. We no longer feel safe. But everything is perfect. Be at peace.”

It was really quite lovely, except it left me feeling very unsettled.

Upon checking in with myself, it occurred to me that when we talk ourselves into believing everything is perfect, when clearly it is not, we are giving up our powerful ability to consciously create loving experiences.

We all come equipped with minds which somehow manifest into reality. We practice visualizing and affirming intentions because we know it will impact the energy around us and create that which we want. Most of us have created some pretty miraculous events by practicing these little creative techniques.

But even when we aren’t visualizing and affirming intentions, our mind’s thoughts and beliefs still impact energy and create what we think about, even if it’s what we really don’t want. In other words, our mind’s conscious and subconscious thoughts and beliefs manifest themselves 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

So what happens when we go into a state of accepting that everything is perfect, especially when it isn’t?

We help to create that which we clearly do not want. Is it really perfect that people are blowing up other people? Is it really perfect that millions of people are out of work? Do we really want that to continue?

By accepting these events as perfect is to consciously allow the states of fear and lack to be alive and well in the world. It is saying that bad things sometimes have to happen in order for good to happen.

But is this what we really want? As a Conscious World Citizen, it is for all of us in every moment to look at what is happening in our world and ask ourselves, ask our hearts, “Is this what I really want?”

Do we want people to have to die in order for something good to come about? Do we really want millions of people to be out of work in order for something pleasant to come next?

I don’t know about you, but my heart answers a resounding NO! My heart does not want people to die for good to happen, because that is sacrifice, and sacrifice, to me, means that someone has to suffer for the good of someone else. My heart does not want others to suffer for someone else to gain. Nor does my heart want millions of people out of work, because I know it’s not necessary for good to happen.

What do I want instead? This is the real question for the Conscious World Citizen to think. What do I want instead, if things seem imperfect to me? Do I want peace to just begin presenting itself, even if I have no clue how to make it happen? Do I want the job market to just open up, even if that seems pretty unlikely?

As a Conscious World Citizen, I don’t have to know how something happens. And neither do you. You just have to know what you want to happen. And then you have to experience it inside yourself through imagining and visualizing. See the headlines and news reports of the miraculous peace negotiations. See the unemployment numbers go down, down, down, and the effect it has on everyone and everything.

When you, as a Conscious World Citizen, give yourself these inward experiences, you are establishing them as part of your thinking, as mind fodder that influences your surrounding energy. The more you think the thoughts, the more their impact will be on your external world.

The next time someone tries to remind you that everything is perfect when, in fact, it really looks or feels quite the opposite, ask yourself if what is going on is really so perfect? Is everyone involved getting his or her needs met? If it really isn’t as perfect as people would like you to think, what is it that you want instead? What do you and others need in order to feel loved and safe? Then see it and think it into being. The world will be grateful!

8 WaysTo Use MindAffects Today

1. If someone close to you is not treating you the way you want, stop a minute and decide how you really want to be treated, and then see it so it can become part of your future.
2. Do the same for people who aren’t really close to you, but you’re concerned for them.
3. If someone you know is not doing well, but is treating you OK, still stop and think about what that person needs to feel happy and safe–and then create it for them without ever saying a word about it. Talk about a great gift!
4. Think of someone who makes you mad. In fact, hearing his or her name can trigger your anger. What are you not getting from that person? What do you really want? What does that person want? See you both having it. Know that this will happen.
5. Go look in the mirror. What’s missing, if anything? Look into your eyes. Ask them to tell you what you need. Then see yourself having this. Then wait to really experience it.
6. Jealousy and envy are great tools for MindAffects. Who makes you jealous or envious? What is it that he or she has that you also want to have? Acknowledge you want it. Recognize you’re supposed to have it. See yourself having it. Stay in the experience long enough to really feel how good it feels. Again, know you are supposed to have it. That’s why your emotions trigger you with feelings of jealousy or envy.
7. Notice the emotions you avoid. Maybe you don’t want to feel sad or angry. Spend the day trying to feel these emotions. Each time you notice the feeling, ask yourself what you fear. Really listen to the answers. Write the answers down. And then ask yourself what you want to experience instead. See yourself experiencing this new thing. Really feel the experience. And then wait (patiently!!!!) for the real experience to show up.
8. What part of your body isn’t feeling right or well? Ask yourself: If this part of me never got better, what would I fear? Accept and acknowledge the answer. Try to see it’s truth. And then ask yourself what you want to experience instead. See yourself having this new experience. Be sure to give yourself what you really want.
