<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><p>There are times when I don&#8217;t feel like doing anything. Sometimes I just want to stay at home and accomplish absolutely nothing.<a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/sunset.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1854" title="sunset" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/sunset-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> First off, I started to pay attention to how I feel more and more of the time. What I discovered is that sometimes I feel excited and ready to do things, and other times I need to recharge and give myself some quiet time. When I honor the quiet time without feeling bad about it, I recharge my batteries much faster than when I beat myself up. And once I have a chance to recharge, I get a wave of inspiration to get up and do something.</p>
<p>I used to do it the other way: I would need a recharge, but would instead head into the world hoping to find the inspiration to make it through. But <em>Law of Attraction</em> aligns you with more of what you are feeling, so if you are tired and cranky, you will attract more events that feel like &#8220;tired and cranky.&#8221; So it&#8217;s so very important to notice how you feel and change your vibration with a quiet recharging time&#8230;guilt-free.</p>

<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><p>But I know what you might be thinking: &#8220;Who has time to recharge with so much to do and so little time?&#8221; Here&#8217;s my answer: You will accomplish more in your day when you are connected to <strong><em>Source</em></strong> than when you are disconnected. When you practice slowing down and connecting to yourself and listening to how you feel and talking yourself into a better feeling place, you can do it in 5–10 minutes. If you can&#8217;t find five minutes in your schedule it&#8217;s prime time to re-evaluate your schedule for better peace and wellness.</p>
<p>Try taking 5–10 minutes of quiet recharging time today. See if you feel better. Let me know what you experience. I bet you will feel better and get more done in your life. Much Love, Hannya

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/LOve.bmp"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1857" title="LOve" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/LOve.bmp" alt="" /></a>I just want to say that I am feeling grateful today for the many people in the world that choose love as their focus. When you decide to choose love, you will see and feel more love. You will look for it, and it will find you. Love means being open to helping others. It means being patient when you are restless. It means giving the benefit of the doubt to others, letting them be who they are and not needing to change them. Love is the answer to life&#8217;s all-perplexing questions.</p>
<p>When I need a reason to love, I look at my dog Suki. She is always in love with life. She never questions if life has thrown her a curve ball, or if there is fairness in the world. She knows that life is a game of fun and joy, and she tells me this with a single look. If I feel bad, I just look at her and stare at her for a few moments. Then my restlessness melts away and I remember that well being abounds. She is a great teacher of life&#8217;s greatness, and she does it without being aware that she does it. She just lives well being, and she radiates it at the same time. This is one of the best ways to teach&#8230;by example.</p>
<p>Perhaps you have a pet or a favorite person that can help you find the feelings of connection when you are a little shaken. It need not be a person because it can also be a TV show, or a favorite band or album. Give your focus to the things that feel good to you, and let yourself be in the loving arms of <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> more often. When you feel good, you lead by example. Thanks to this day, to the Universe, to Law of Attraction, and to those small puppies that help us feel better and better. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post!  Lisa</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/perfect-timing.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1853" title="perfect-timing" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/perfect-timing-238x300.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="300" /></a>There are times that I feel like I have the worst timing on the planet. I rush to get around and become late arriving somewhere, or I work, work, work to finish something&#8230;only to discover that I missed a deadline. Sometimes there is no getting around the fact that a deadline was missed. However, I have noticed a connection to time and my alignment with it in the real world. When I take the time, usually early in the morning, to connect with <em><strong>Source Energy</strong></em>, the world seems to work better with me in terms of time. I seem to get things done ahead of time, or I find myself enjoying the work more, instead of rushing to meet a deadline. My timing, when I have aligned with the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong>, is pretty spot on if I do say so myself! So maybe time is not the enemy (if there is an enemy) but rather my own alignment with <em>Source</em> is my challenge.</p>
<p>Aligning with <em>Source</em> is not hard, really. It can be as easy as listening to your breath for five minutes, or doing yoga, or meditating for a little while. It can happen on a walk, or while you are looking at the sky. In fact, there are countless ways to connect to <em>Source Energy</em> as long as you have the intention to do so. The only way you can keep yourself from aligning is to rush ahead into the day or into a situation without gathering yourself in the moment. Take the time to slow down your conscious mind, and let yourself love the moment even more. Assure yourself that this is time well spent. It all works out.</p>
<p>Try this as an experiment. Do it one day, and maybe not the next. See if the day feels different to you. journal about how you feel during the day. See if you have parking spaces, friends that you just happen to connect with, or new and wonderful experiences that pop up for you. I know you will&#8230;because it happens to me all the time. Be.Love today! Hannya-GP</p>

<p><em><strong>Source Energy</strong></em> is always loving you, and you are never totally alone. If you feel good, I am with you, and if you feel bad, I&#8217;m still there. I love you no matter how you feel. I want you to feel good, but there is no judgement if you feel bad. I understand why you beat yourself up at times, but you need to remember that <em>Source Energy</em> never beats you up&#8230;ever. I know everything about you, and I appreciate you for being exactly who you are. Your life is part of an all-perfect unfolding in the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em>. Your life is supposed to be fun, creative, expanding, exuberant, and interesting&#8230;but you will have many, many experiences along the way. No matter where you are physically, vibrationally, or spiritually, it&#8217;s all good. No matter where you find yourself, you can always get to a new place that you desire to be in. Relax. Breathe. Allow. All is well&#8230;Source Energy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deep-silence.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1760" title="deep-silence" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deep-silence-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>I must say, it&#8217;s been a very busy spring for me. I always seem to be running to the next thing, preparing for the next thing, or doing the next thing. One one hand, it&#8217;s exhilarating to be busy when you enjoy your work (as I do), and to have plenty of it to excite your sense of motivated living. One the other hand,  I occasionally miss the grounded feeling I get when I have the luxury of time to go inside and profoundly reconnect to myself, my deepest feelings, and my inner being. Sometimes I wonder, do these two states (frantically busy and slow and grounded) need to feel mutually exclusive? Can they exist together in my present moment more and more?</p>
<p>No matter where you want to be, in any present moment you are where you are. To desire for something different than the present moment steals the magic away from the present moment. To be sure, there will be occasional contrast in your life that will make you desire for a change of present conditions&#8230;but the only way to allow everything you want is to let the magic of this moment back into your awareness. Getting back to the magic of the present is a personal, inside job, and only YOU know how to best do it for you.</p>
<p>Here are some ways that I find time to allow more gratitude and appreciation in my life, which in turn reconnects me to my grounded self. First, in the frantic pace, I look for slivers of time to shut off my conscious mind chatter. This can be at a stop light, in a meeting, or sitting quietly at my desk at work. I just ask myself &#8220;I wonder what my next thought will be,&#8221; and then I wait. By becoming an observer of my thoughts, I instantly transcend them and my ego chatter suspends itself for several moments. In the space created in my vibration, the well being of <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> trickles in. I feel a little better in the moment. Another way I find the space in my vibration is to stop all the crazy chatter in my environment. This means shutting off the news, the TV, the radio, the iPod, as well as not lingering in negative conversations at the water cooler. When I observe the space created from the diminished chatter around me, well being of <em>Source Energy</em> trickles in a little more.</p>
<p>Finally, even in the frantic pace, I look realistically at the time I have. Everyone can find five minutes in any day to sit and be still. My only problem is not allowing myself to have this time. But when I do sit and find an inner stillness for even five minutes, noticing my breath and just observing my thoughts, well being of <em>Source Energy</em> trickles in every time. I then take this recharge of <em>Source</em> back with me into my day, and I am usually able to bring myself to better and better feeling moments within the break-neck pace of events. Today, see if you can find time to be with you. Give yourself the gift of silence. Let the chatter, both inner and outer, subside for a few moments. Don&#8217;t be afraid that you are wasting your time. Instead, be open to receiving the gift of renewed connection and inspiration. The proof is how you feel. If you do it everyday, you will probably be inspired to do it for longer periods every day. It will become a gift and not one more thing on your &#8220;to do&#8221; list. Enjoy this most amazing and connected day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/confucius.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1601" title="confucius" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/confucius-284x300.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="300" /></a>The Chinese philosopher <a title="More about Confucius" href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/confucius/" target="_blank">Confucius</a> (551-479 BCE) is often attributed the quote<em> &#8220;Choose a job you love and you&#8217;ll never work a day in your life.&#8221;</em> There is so much wisdom in this saying, and it seems to be a major component of living a happy life with purpose. When you love your job, every day is a day filled with growth and expansion. You are able to commit yourself to being present because you don&#8217;t have the distraction of wishing you were somewhere else, or wishing away the time while you feel bored and unengaged. There are few (if any) jobs that don&#8217;t have some aspect of &#8220;have to&#8217;s&#8221; associated with them. But I know that loving your job spills over into everything else you do, and the happiest people I know seem to have fulfilling and meaningful work that they like to one degree of another.</p>
<p>But what about if you don&#8217;t love your job, or what if you really <em>dislike</em> your job? You have two choices. You can use this feeling of unhappiness to launch a new desire for a better job, and then you can be ready to act when the time for inspired action arrives. Or you can just complain, tell a sad story to anyone who will listen, and whip up an amazingly disconnected feeling every time you think of your work. Obviously only the first choice is the productive choice. But it can be difficult to see something positive inside something you have whipped up to a negative feeling/vibration.</p>
<p>Remember that the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> can only bring you more of what you have, so it is never in your best interest to perpetuate a story that feels bad. Instead, you have to tell a different story to anyone who will listen. You have to look for the small things you love about your job that you might have been subconsciously ignoring. Take these small things and turn them into BIG things. For example, you may not enjoy attending meetings in your job. Instead of waking and dreading the day because of a 1:00 PM meeting you have to attend, be grateful for the coffee break you will have with your friend at 10:00 AM. Create an inner dialogue that is playful, even for tasks that are repetitive. I know that when I have to, say, stuff 1,000 envelopes I find some sort of game to play, with my own made-up rules and with crazy goals that make me laugh. To someone watching, it looks like I am just going about my business and working. But my inner thinking is amusing me to no end. If you hate your job, remember that you have the real power to sustain that vibration or to change that vibration. You can make your <em>vocation</em> your <em>vacation</em>, with just a little change of focus and with a little bit of redirection in your inner speak.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s the most important part of all of this. If you are stuck in a job you dislike, and you find a way to love it and enjoy it&#8230;<em>it&#8217;s highly likely that you will be offered another job that you like even more.</em> When you hate your job, the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> will keep you in it because it matches you with more of what you are experiencing. You may be fired, but you will attract another job you hate. So if you choose (right now) to love your job more, then more opportunities for work you enjoy will be made available to you in very short order. Do what you love and love what you do&#8230;as much as possible&#8230;and let the magic or your life take a firm hold and amaze you with every turn. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When you feel connected, you feel good. Connection feels like fun, expansion, gratitude, and appreciation. Feeling good is your number one job, especially if you want to be of value to others. And yet, we have been told by many that the best way to serve others is through hard work and sacrifice. The message was something like "don't be selfish, put others first, give more than you take, and do it as long as you can keep it up. Someday, after your death, you will be rewarded." I am sure that you have received this message in some form, at some time, from people in your life. Here are five things to remember as you put all this into perspective:]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/happy.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1507" title="happy" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/happy-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>I had a minor revelation a couple of nights ago as I pondered how I felt and how I was interacting with others. I realized, in a deeper way than ever before, that I can offer little to others if I am not connected to <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> myself. When you feel connected, you feel good. Connection feels like fun, expansion, <em><strong>gratitude</strong></em>, and <strong><em>appreciation</em></strong>. Feeling good is your number one job, especially if you want to be of value to others. And yet, we have been told by many that the best way to serve others is through hard work and sacrifice. The message was something like <em>&#8220;don&#8217;t be selfish, put others first, give more than you take, and do it as long as you can keep it up. Someday, after your death, you will be rewarded.&#8221;</em> I am sure that you have received this message in some form, at some time, from people in your life. Here are five things to remember as you put all this into perspective:</p>
<p>1. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">There is no shortage of <em>Source Energy</em>.</span></strong> It exists in abundance and will never run out.</p>
<p>2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>You are worthy to receive <em>Source Energy</em>.</strong></span> There is no test to pass to make you worthy. It is yours for the taking, and it is free.</p>
<p>3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When you allow <em>Source Energy</em> to flow through you, you have everything to give.</strong></span> When you are disconnected from <em>Source Energy</em>, you have very little to give, and what you try to do from sheer work won&#8217;t make as much of a difference to others.</p>
<p>4. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When you are motivated without being connected to <em>Source Energy</em>, people will be less inspired by your words and actions.</strong></span> Your intention to uplift others will be watered down. When you are inspired through your connection to <em>Source Energy</em>, people will sense your enthusiasm, your genuine gratitude and appreciation, and your full belief that <strong>all is well</strong>.</p>
<p>5. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The <em>Law of Attraction</em> works the same if you are connected to <em>Source Energy</em>, as it does if you are NOT connected to <em>Source Energy</em>.</strong></span> So it is impossible, by Universal law, to attract something different than your own vibrational offering. Through your conscious connection to Source Energy, you set the bar that determines your power, expansion, allowing, and value to others.</p>
<p>The insight I received the other evening happened when I was feeling good while talking over dinner. The conversation was fun and expanding, and I had so much to say that felt good while I said it. At one point the conversation, for what ever reason, turned to a topic that didn&#8217;t feel as good. Without thinking, I joined in and helped the conversation feel worse and worse, adding comments and stories that moved me away from my <em>Source Energy</em>. I started moving down the <em>vibrational scale</em> until I felt pretty disconnected and even sad. I could see that my friends were also feeling the &#8220;buzz kill&#8221; of the conversation.</p>
<p>Now, from my <em>disconnection</em> I decided to uplift the table by saying things that felt a little better. However, I was trying to offer these words <em>before I felt better myself</em>. Saying the words actually made me feel worse, and I could tell that it felt awkward to the others too. So then I remained quiet for a short time, maybe two minutes, and just thought thoughts of gratitude and appreciation. Talking to myself felt easier than trying to change others from my point of disconnection, and within two minutes I had a good-feeling vibration rolling again.</p>
<p>My next offering to the group was met with smiles and felt like it made a positive difference to the vibration of the group. Notice today when you move ahead in your connection to <em>Source Energy</em>, and when you just move ahead to make something happen. Start being more sensitive to the way you feel when you are working, and when you are flowing with <em>Source</em>. Flow more, work less, and be filled with <em><strong>love</strong></em> and <em>gratitude</em>. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/blink.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1489" title="blink" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/blink-293x300.jpg" alt="" width="293" height="300" /></a>No too long ago I read a book by Macolm Gladwell called &#8220;<a title="Blink by Malcom Gladwell" href="http://www.gladwell.com/blink/index.html" target="_blank">Blink</a>.&#8221; This book examines the information we receive in the first two seconds we meet someone, see something, interact with something, or experience something new. He talks about how we receive every relevant aspect of information that we need to know about a situation in two seconds or less, or in the time it takes to <em>blink</em>. While Gladwell doesn&#8217;t like the term &#8220;intuition&#8221; and consciously avoids the term in his book, I like the term and I think his ideas can absolutely be linked to a discussion of intuition. The dictionary defines intuition this way:</p>
<p><strong>intuition</strong> |ˌint(y)oōˈi sh ən|<br />
noun<br />
the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning : <em>we shall allow our intuition to guide us.</em><br />
• a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning : <em>your insights and intuitions as a native speaker are positively sought.</em></p>
<p>Intuition is the path through which information can be received without excessive interference by the Ego. Have you ever noticed that if you think too much about anything, you can either talk yourself into or out of doing it? In the process of thinking too much, you may doubt your decision and start avoiding making any decision at all? Likewise, how many times have you been struck in the moment by a feeling that feels absolutely right&#8230;and a desire to move ahead in full connection? I think that everything we need to know IS there for us to discover in the exact moment we need it. I believe that intuition is always present to guide us through the day. If we choose to hear it and act upon it, I think we have an opportunity to live a connected, magical and spontaneous life.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is connected to intuition, of course. When you ask through your constant vibration of living, the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> lines you up with people and events that match your present point of attraction. But the <em>Law of Attraction</em> is also gently nudging you toward more and more fulfillment too, and is helping you move toward the things you want. For example, if you are asking for more peace and quiet, and you are traveling by plane, you will encounter (potentially) things that are not peaceful nor quiet in your day. However, if you have been relaxing and allowing yourself to be centered, and if you are willing to listen to your intuition, magic is possible. You may be walking through the terminal and your intuition tells you to take a certain route to the gate&#8230;you listen and take the route&#8230;and you experience a nice, peaceful walk to the gate. Little did you know that there was a person arguing with their friend along the other route that you didn&#8217;t take, and that experience was not part of your experience because of your decision to follow your intuition in the first second you heard it. You may have an intuition to change your seat at check in (or not to change it) and then find yourself surrounded by quiet, pleasant people, rather than unhappy people or loud crying infants.</p>
<p>Trusting your intuition can be a challenge, but the more you do it, the better you get at it. Get &#8220;In To&#8221; your life with a closer walk with your own intuition. Play with it and see how it works for you. Be easy about it and enjoy the gifts you will be led toward&#8230;and be sure to notice the wonderful gifts you are given. Be <strong><em>grateful</em></strong> and <strong><em>appreciative</em></strong>, and enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sunsetdance.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1485" title="sunsetdance" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sunsetdance-300x214.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="214" /></a>It&#8217;s easy to mislead ourselves and think that our happiness resides somewhere in our future, in a time where we have overcome our obstacles and we are &#8220;complete.&#8221; In fact, you probably know, or are related to, quite a few people who have been putting their happiness &#8220;on hold&#8221; so that they can finish up what they are working on presently. I am coming to realize that &#8220;completion&#8221; is some sort of unattainable ideal, because the nature of the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> is one of <em>constant expansion</em>.</p>
<p>If you could reach a point (and this is impossible) where you were perfect, complete, finished, and done growing, you would lose the gift of evolution to new ways of being. You would reach a place where expansion was no longer possible. You would have nothing left to draw you forward toward new ideas. You would be bored, bored, bored, BORED! You will never be done growing and expanding, and this is excellent news. Because of this fact, it makes sense to make peace with this reality by acknowledging that <em>where you are right now is exactly where you need to be</em>. Where you are is simply where you are&#8230;period.</p>
<p>The beauty of this fact (that you are as finished right now as you will ever be) is that you can enjoy the unfolding of your life&#8230;right now. The <strong><em>present is your point of power</em></strong>, and you have everything at your finger tips right now that can thrill you and give you boundless satisfaction. You have most likely experienced wanting something with all your heart. You thought about it, dreamed about it, and held it as your pure desire over time. Then, almost suddenly and with the help of <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>, it&#8217;s yours. Don&#8217;t you remember how you felt at this point? It feels really good to manifest the thing you wanted&#8230;but it never feels quite as good, or lasts quite as long as you imagined it would. Almost immediately, you have a new object of desire, and you stand in a new place launching new ideas that you will strive for. It simply never ends.</p>
<p>So I suggest that today you take the opportunity to note the perfection of your present time and place. Everything in the <em>Universe</em> is available to you in this moment. The <em>Law of Attraction</em> has lined you up perfectly with everything you need. There is nothing to wait for&#8230;you have arrived&#8230;and yet you will <em>never</em> arrive. Don&#8217;t postpone your connection to <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong>, because it is never in the future&#8230;it&#8217;s always in your present, available in abundance and in inexhaustible amounts.  Don&#8217;t wait to be happy. Accept and allow your happiness right now. Your present is perfectly imperfect. Love it and expand through it. Be fully <em><strong>grateful</strong></em> and <strong><em>appreciative</em></strong>. And above all, enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>
