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>

<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/God.gif"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1848" title="God" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/God-300x170.gif" alt="" width="300" height="170" /></a>We often get asked how God relates to the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t God have a plan for us, and if so, do we really get to choose our life&#8217;s manifestations? How can we manifest outside of God&#8217;s plan for us?&#8221; This can certainly seem like a contradiction: Either God is in charge, or we are in charge. But maybe there is another explanation that makes sense of it all. Here is how I have come to understand God&#8217;s plan for me.</p>
<p>Rather than use the term &#8220;God,&#8221; I choose to adopt the term &#8220;<strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong>&#8221; for the forces that are behind all things. I like using this term because it is not associated with any particular religion, sect, or ancient dogma created by humans over the years. I believe that <em>Source Energy</em> is the manifestation and power that religions have labeled &#8220;God,&#8221; and I believe that <em>Source Energy</em> is the uniting principle that connects everything in the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong>. <em>Source Energy</em> flows through everything, and it IS everything. You are Source, the computer you are using is Source, The Earth is Source, and even the smallest bit of matter is the embodiment of <em>Source Energy</em>. That means that there is nothing &#8220;outside&#8221; of Source: it flows through every plant, human, animal, atom, and molecule in the <em>Universe</em>.</p>
<p>So if God is <em>Source Energy</em>, and Source is everything, then we are really all God. So God&#8217;s plan for me can&#8217;t be disconnected from my plan for myself. When we have been told that we are &#8220;created in God&#8217;s image,&#8221; it is literally true. You are looking through the eyes of Source, breathing through the lungs of Source, and channeling the energy of Source always. Source does have a plan for you, by the way.</p>
<p>What is Source&#8217;s plan for me? It&#8217;s not specific…and it is specific. Here is what Source specifically wants for you:</p>
<p>1. Source wants you to feel good. It wants you to enjoy living and to feel the bliss of existing in this moment.<br />
2. Source wants you to expand and bring thought beyond that which it has been before.<br />
3. Source wants you to love and appreciate yourself just as Source loves and appreciates you.<br />
4. Source wants you to ask for a better conditions, and then allow these conditions without any extra struggle.<br />
5. Source wants you to be free, creative, curious, and open to new ideas.</p>
<p>But as you can see, the plan you inherit from <em>Source</em> is not telling you exactly how to act and behave. It is unspecific in it&#8217;s specifics. YOU get to choose how to expand, be joyful, and to love yourself and others. When you think, feel, and act apart from Source&#8217;s plan for you, you will feel the resistance and pain in your vibration and emotions. But always remember, you get to choose your focus. Another way to say this is that Source wants you to have the things you deeply desire, and is ready to help you achieve them. Align with Source and you will be in sync with the energy that creates worlds. You will know you are in alignment because you will feel better and better.</p>
<p>God&#8217;s plan for you is rooted in your desires for your own expansion and expression. Your life is the unique unfolding of that expression. Allow the joy of Source to express through you, and you will be fulfilling God&#8217;s plan for you…and how that looks to others in terms of the manifestation can take unlimited forms. You are Source Energy, and Source Energy is YOU! Enjoy This Most Amazing Day!  CHRIS</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/2011/06/Jacaranda-Tree_1700.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1805" title="Jacaranda-Tree_1700" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Jacaranda-Tree_1700.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="161" /></a>Last weekend I celebrated a right of passage that many go through around this time of the year; I graduated from college.  And it only took me 27 years to do it!  The subject for how and why it took 27 years is for another day.  What I want to talk today about is <em>illusions</em>.</p>
<p>All the time that it took me to finally get to this monumental occasion, I had built up inside of myself a sort of vision of how it would feel to finally graduate from college.  Being a romantic at heart, I knew how it would feel, I knew how it would look, I even knew what it would <em>smell</em> like.  Yes, I know it sounds a little strange, but to me, graduating from a major university has a special smell associated with it. Some might say that it is the smell of all the beautiful <a title="Jacaranda Tree" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jacarandatree.jpg" target="_blank">Jacaranda</a> trees blooming, and the other delicious smells that Mother Nature brings to us every spring, but this smell is different.  To me, graduating from college had a clean, sweet smell of success; and almost lofty aroma that lifts your very being to heights unknown to any other person but yourself.  The closer the actual day came; the more I looked forward to experiencing those sights and sounds, feelings and smells. I knew that they were mine, because I had focused on them so hard, and as I have come to know from the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em>, I knew that whatever I gave my attention to would bring me more of what I was thinking and feeling (and smelling) about.</p>
<p>And finally, the big day arrived!  Like any individual who has focused long and hard on a dream, I flew out of bed like a kid on Christmas morning, eager to greet the day and claim the prizes that I had stored up for myself in the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em>.  I raced through my morning routines and rituals like a gazelle so that I could get to the “good stuff” faster.  But when I arrived at the “BIG MOMENT,” that moment that I had been dreaming, thinking, and feeling about for so many years, I was met with……….<em>nothing</em>.  Well, nothing like what I had THOUGHT it would be like.</p>
<p>The place had not been transformed into the great Romanesque halls with the Ivy streaming down the sides like you see in the movies and on TV; there was no feeling of being elevated to heights unknown&#8230; there was no backlighting shinning down when I stepped up to receive my diploma&#8230;and no heralding trumpets to announce the entrance of the graduates.  There wasn’t even that special smell that I had waited and wished for year after year after year.  In fact, the whole thing felt kind of…….ordinary and mundane. I felt ripped off!!! “Hey <em><strong>Universe</strong></em>…..where’s my sights and sounds, feelings and smells???”</p>
<p>Before I go on, let me say that graduating from college was a wonderful experience!  It just wasn’t the experience I had hoped for.  I, like so many of us, had fallen under the spell of <strong><em>Illusion.</em></strong> I had fallen in love with the things that were not in alignment with <em><strong>Source</strong></em>, and thus allowed myself to be taken down the gilded pathway of <em>Illusion </em>where absolutely everything is possible, even if it is not practical or within vibrational reach. The result was that I felt unfulfilled.  “Is this it?  Is this all there is?”  It took me a couple of days to come to grips with the fact that graduation was not what I had hoped it would be, but I also gained some valuable insights into how the <em>Law of Attraction </em>and our own <em><strong>vibrational match points </strong></em>work.</p>
<p>Everyone has wants and desires, and this is what drives us to create new and better experiences in our lives.  Whatever that desire is, you must first take a look at how well you match the desire vibrationally, and then make the needed adjustments in order for your vibration to come into alignment with the desire that you have.  Since you cannot attract anything that is outside of your <strong><em>vibrational range</em>,</strong> it is a futile attempt to try and attract something that, at least for the time being, cannot be yours.  It will only bring you great frustration.</p>
<p>The healthier thing to do is to start by <em>reaching for something that is within your vibration</em>. Accept the present with <em><strong>gratitude</strong></em>, and as you lift your vibrational range, all the gifts that are yours from the <em>Universe</em> will start flowing into your experience.  The campus of the school where I graduated from is a beautiful campus.  All of the Jacaranda trees around the school are in full bloom, giving off their sweet perfume.  I was surrounded by my loving family and friends, and I have many good memories that have been captured forever through the invention of the photograph.  I worked long and hard to get what many people have taken for granted, and that makes the moment all the more sweet.  I don’t need the Romanesque buildings, the Ivy, the heralding trumpets and that special smell.  I’ve got the real thing, and I thank the <em>Universe</em> for helping me get what I desired for so many years.</p>
<p>Maybe you too have fallen under the spell of <strong><em>Illusion</em></strong> at one time or another.  If so, I’d love to here your story!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Softball-girl.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1643" title="Cute Baseball Player" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Softball-girl-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>A few days ago, I was conversing with a friend after church about what his plans were for the rest of the day. The conversation went something like this:</p>
<p>Me: &#8220;So, what do you have planned for the rest of the day?&#8221;</p>
<p>Friend: &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m going to go and watch my granddaughter&#8217;s soft ball team play.&#8221;</p>
<p>Me: &#8220;That sounds like fun! How old are they?&#8221;</p>
<p>Friend: &#8220;They&#8217;re between seven and nine years of age.&#8221;</p>
<p>Me: &#8220;Are they a good team?&#8221;</p>
<p>Friend: &#8220;Not really. They are at the bottom of their league!&#8221;</p>
<p>Me: &#8220;Ouch! That must not be good for morale.&#8221;</p>
<p>Friend: &#8220;Actually, they don&#8217;t care. They aren&#8217;t there to win any big awards, or be the best in the league. They are there to have a good time and enjoy each other&#8217;s company. Winning or losing doesn&#8217;t even cross their minds!&#8221;</p>
<p>I had an immediate thought at this point. <em>Why can&#8217;t life be this way?</em> Why can&#8217;t we NOT worry about having everything &#8220;work out&#8221; and just have fun with each other, and let the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em> take care of us? So I decided to give it a try. Instead of worrying about my relationships, and where they were going, I let go of that and <em>just had fun with them</em>. In place of working to get approval from my colleagues, I accepted that they already approved of me, and made our work together<em> a thing of play</em>. I relaxed, and trusted that <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> was lining me up with the vibration of what I wanted. Guess what happened? All of my relationships have taken a positive step forward. In fact, one of my friends remarked to me about the positive &#8220;change&#8221; he has seen in me this week. The work that my colleagues and I were doing seemed to just fly by as if guided by an invisible genie. Seemingly impossible situations magically worked themselves out all by themselves, without my having to invest any energy at all. I didn&#8217;t worry at all about how good I was, how effective I was, or even if I was getting these  <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> principles down correctly or not. I simply realized that it is a wonderfully automatic system that works to perfection every time. We need not worry about being finished with the process, because WE are a never-finished process. We are eternal beings. There is always something wonderful and new to learn, and we can learn everything in our own perfect time. We don&#8217;t ever have to worry about winning, because we have already won. We already have the prize. All we need to do is to enjoy our process&#8230;enjoy all of it&#8230;the people, places and things in our lives, and just have fun. Enjoy the prize!  -Lee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/attraction.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1787" title="attraction" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/attraction.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="299" /></a>I just love the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em>, and I love knowing that what I give my attention to is magnified and manifested over time. I know that what I see, and the experiences I find in my NOW today are a perfect match to what I have been attracting through my vibration. I like paying attention to how I feel and adjusting as the day goes on. I also like the idea that there is only inclusion, and things can&#8217;t &#8220;get me&#8221; that I don&#8217;t invite in, then I really am in control of my experience. This feels good.</p>
<p>But with the oh-so-good- feeling of ultimate control in my life comes the responsibility to guide my experience. I can&#8217;t simply look to others to tell me what to do, because they can&#8217;t feel what I am feeling. They haven&#8217;t walked in my vibrational shoes, and they can&#8217;t possibly be feeling my guidance as strongly as I can. (Actually, I don&#8217;t think they can feel MY guidance at all&#8230;only their own!) Each person must <em>be</em> their own vibrational compass on the churning seas of their own personal reality. This is probably why some people resist ideas like the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>&#8230;it&#8217;s seems less complicated to just &#8220;follow the rules&#8221; of parents, teachers, or social institutions who are more than willing to tell you how you should behave. I get it, and it is a responsibility I gladly take on&#8230;with joy and bliss, and purpose!</p>
<p>OK, so I have this charge to guide my experience, and I know that I can be, do, or have anything that I can <em>achieve vibrational harmony with</em>. As I said, I have fun observing what I am getting and then adjusting&#8230;but how do I more carefully and consciously create a specific experience, with obvious manifestations that I can recognize when they arrive? I have struggled with this in the past, because when I get to the point of deliberate focus, <em>I&#8217;m not always sure what I should ask for</em>! I have friends who can blurt out the things they want, no thinking at all, just here&#8217;s my list. Jealous. I know that contrast creates desire, and I don&#8217;t really need to worry too much about all of this. When I experience contrast it helps me ask for something else, and then the &#8220;asking&#8221; is done. But I am ready to move into a new level of asking&#8230;deliberate, focused asking.</p>
<p>Here is one method I used for finding out what I want. I asked myself if I am keeping myself from wanting because I don&#8217;t really believe I am allowed to ask for certain things. What I mean is, I might really want a new car, but I might be afraid to want it too much because I might not believe that I can afford it. So my belief in not having the money to buy a car could be keeping me from asking for it. OK, so I got a piece of paper and wrote &#8220;Money is no object for me. What do I want?&#8221; I had to be willing to let the first sentence sink in, because I could feel myself resisting the outlandish concept that money didn&#8217;t play into the equation. But once I let the money block go, my imagination began to take wings. This process uncovered other blocks to my brainstorming that I wasn&#8217;t even aware of. As I shed each limiting belief, at least for the exercise, I found no end to the things I was willing to draw to me&#8230;things that felt great to me while thinking about them.</p>
<p>What keeps you from asking for what you want? Do you have the &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what I want&#8221; block too sometimes? Remove your &#8220;ya, but&#8221; thinking and just put it on vacation today. See what comes up. You can have anything, be anything, and do anything that you achieve vibrational harmony with. Vibrational harmony is achieved when you move into hope, optimism, expectation and belief on the subject. I found this game thrilling for me, and I play it as often as I can. Try it and let us know what happened for you. 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/2010/01/yes-and-no.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1775" title="yes-and-no" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/yes-and-no.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>It&#8217;s fun to be living on planet Earth, having a human experience and honing preferences for the experiences we want to attract and create. Every time you have an experience that makes you say &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t want to have that experience again&#8221; it is as if you reconfigure a &#8220;preferences file&#8221; with the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em>. Through this contrasting experience, the <em>Universe</em> hears your asking (vibrationally) and expands to match your asking, and then it becomes the new vibrational version of you&#8230;waiting for YOU to align with the expanded version of YOU.  All day, every day we are sorting through our individual preferences for what we want, and when we say &#8220;no&#8221; we really, really mean &#8220;NO!&#8221; It&#8217;s OK to feel grateful and appreciative for our ability to say &#8220;no.&#8221; The word &#8220;no&#8221; puts the expansion of the <em>Universe</em> into motion.</p>
<p>But for the <em>Universe</em>, there is no such thing as the word &#8220;no.&#8221; When you say &#8220;no,&#8221; the <em>Universe</em> only hears &#8220;yes.&#8221; But how can this be? This is because we live in an <em>inclusion-based</em> <em>Universe</em>. The <strong><em>Law of Inclusion</em></strong> dictates that anything that you give your attention to becomes part of your vibration, and then the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> gets to work to give you more of it. In other words, you can&#8217;t push anything away from you and your vibration&#8230;if it has your attention in any way, you are magnifying it and attracting more of it toward your personal experience. In an inclusion-based system, trying to stop anything (drugs, crime, disease, poverty, etc.) only serves to intensify the vibration, no matter how well-meaning you are. So how do we address these problems, you might say? If you focus directly on the problem, there will always be the problem, and bigger problems like it. (The Universe hears &#8220;This is a problem&#8221; and agrees with you, and sends you more of it because you gave it your attention.)</p>
<p>Instead, focus on your <em>mind&#8217;s highest image of a solution that does not include the problem.</em> That last sentence is worth reading again. Remember that you can&#8217;t think about the problem without including, intensifying, expanding, and drawing more of the problem into your personal experience. So the key is to give your attention to thoughts and ideas of clarity, peace, wellness, and prosperity, rather than trying to rid the planet of drugs, crime, disease, and poverty.</p>
<p>But if no one works to rid the world of drugs, crime, disease, and poverty, won&#8217;t these things get out of control and multiply? Not in an inclusion-based <em>Universe</em>. The problems will dissipate and lose their energy as connected people all over the world act on their inner wisdom from connection to <strong><em>Source</em></strong>, and follow their intuition to promote clarity, peace, wellness, and prosperity.</p>
<p>What are you for, and what are you against? Now that you are more aware that you are actually <em>for</em> the things you thought you were <em>against</em>, how might you refocus your attention today? Just notice today, through your experience, what you have been asking for by observing everything you are getting. You have been saying &#8220;yes&#8221; to all of it, even when you shouted &#8220;no&#8221; at it. Be easy about it, and when you must say &#8220;no&#8221; just get off the thought and turn to something you can say &#8220;yes&#8221; to as soon as possible. Be <em>for things </em>from now on, and let them flow to you effortlessly over time. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[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 Source Energy trickles in. I feel a little better in the moment.]]></description>
			<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/2011/04/Healthy-Food.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1755" title="Healthy-Food" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Healthy-Food-300x276.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="276" /></a>Since the start of the new year, my husband and I have been experimenting with eating different kinds of food. Our &#8220;normal&#8221; diet was not unlike the majority of people living in the United States today: few greens, lots of pasta, snacks, burgers, steak, sushi, good beer, great wine, and a martini to start happy hour. We had not experienced serious health concerns with this diet over the last 10 years, and except for a few extra pounds we thought we felt fine.</p>
<p><strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is an interesting thing, because we set out a desire to lose a few pounds in the new year, and we simply kept to the <em><strong>feeling</strong></em> of the idea. We stayed open to the feeling of losing weight, or better put, we did our best to feel thinner and enjoy the feeling of being 10 pounds lighter. In the nidst of feeling better we came across a diet plan that we had never heard of before: The Ph Miracle! I&#8217;ll write about this diet plan in detail at a later date, but suffice to say that it has changed our life for the better.</p>
<p>What <em>Law of Attraction</em> brought us was a new framework to think about health. This diet might not resonate with everyone, but it works for us. What we like about it is we get to eat all we want and not count calories, ever. The food tastes good, and it makes our bodies find a perfect weight, which for us has been 10-15 pounds less in a matter of two months. Now we are maintaining our new lower weight, and we continue to embrace the new culinary choices that we attracted. When we &#8220;cheat&#8221; and fall back to our old choices, we notice a difference in how we feel, how our bodies react to the food, and also how we feel in terms of mood swings.</p>
<p>In a nut shell, this diet includes all green vegetables, good salts including pure sea salt, some fish, almonds, avocados, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, healthy oils, and spices. It does not include sweet fruits, wheat, alcohol, caffeine, meat, sugar, and a whole host of other &#8220;fun&#8221; stuff we used to eat. But let me tell you, three days on this diet and you will feel your mood shift for the better&#8230;and fast. You will notice more bliss, connection to <strong><em>Source</em></strong>, and a renewed zest for living that you may have long forgotten.</p>
<p>Eating used to make me happy, then bum me out when I was done. I felt heavy and bloated. I was not excited to do the next thing on my schedule. Now, I never feel really hungry, yet I eat all day. My moods are better, and I am generally more happy. I know that <em>Law of Attraction</em> is attracting all the things I want, because I feel better. How I feel is everything, and my new food choices have helped me attain this improved state. You can do it too. You don&#8217;t need to do this particular diet, but you can start experimenting with food choices while you just take inventory of how you feel. Eat your way back to feeling great. Be Well, Marie-GP</p>
