I'm borrowing from Mike Dooley, author of Leveraging the Universe: 7 Steps to Engaging Life's Magic for today's blog post. The chapter the Universe led me to today was on the 5th Step "aligning your beliefs." In that chapter he gives some wonderful instructions on how to live your life today as though your dreams have already been actualized. He proposes that by behaving as though our beliefs about our dreams have been realized, they will actually become ours. In turn, we squash any beliefs we have that are limiting.
Cool...let's do this. So, since my week is focused on romantic love and dating, I will align my beliefs in this area. Here goes:
1. I'm worthy and deserving of this wonderful romantic partner.
2. I exude so much love, which only draws this person closer to me.
3. I have so much to offer this romantic partner.
4. I'm not going to end up settling for the wrong person.
5. The more I think positively about this partner, the greater our love and the
stronger our relationship will be.
6. The Universe only wants happiness for me.
Oh goody! Another suggestion Mike Dooley makes is to take it a step further and "install the beliefs." One way he recommends doing this is to not perpetuate any issues you're having in this area of your life by talking negatively about it with others. For instance, if I were to tearfully complain to my friends and therapist incessantly about how "I'm never going to find the right man for me" or something about how "he must not exist" or "whoa-is-me, eharmony keeps matching me with all these duds"...then I'm just going to attract more of that wrong stuff! The Universe will get the message that if that's what I'm putting my energy into, then that must be what I want! NOOOOOOO!
Another suggestion he makes is to openly invite all opportunities that bring you closer to what it is you want and what gets you more comfortable having what it is you want. So, for me that means I need to keep dating. I admittedly am getting a little burned out on eharmony (not that I've been out on that many dates) but it's a lot of sifting through potential matches, which can be a lot of work. But I'm not going to let that stop me. I need to keep taking the risk that I'm spending a lot of my time and energy going out with date after date of potentially wrong matches to increase my potential of meeting the right one! Not to mention, whenever I'm active on eharmony, I end up meeting people the old-fashioned way. See! It's true--when you put your energy into something, you are going to attract more of it!
And if nothing else, it's good practice getting me more and more comfortable with spending time with a romantic partner. I need this because I am getting waaaaay to comfortable with my single life and being perfectly satisfied with the immense love I share with my friends and family. I think I'm getting dangerously close to being so satisfied in this place that I potentialy stop actively pursuing romantic love altogether. Can't be doing that!
Not ready to be a nun...not yet. :-p
What are your beliefs about romantic love? Please share! No limiting beliefs, please!
Much love,
