Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.

Last week I discussed finding motivation in the workplace, and the challenges of that in these difficult times. http://northernlightworker.blogspot.com/2010/08/workplace-spirituality-series-wheres.html I discussed some issues that are all too common in workplaces in recessionary times. The key ingredient to these issues is fear, which is very understandable when there is the energy of scarcity all around you. This week I would like to discuss some suggestions to help you find something to edge fear out and bring in the power of Spirit to bring happiness within and to protect yourself from what's happening without.
When we operating in fear we are not effective. Every action is guarded and defensive. You don't feel free to make bold decisions as you are risk-aversive to the results. You end up licking your finger and putting it to the wind to find out which way the wind is blowing and your decisions are based on safety rather than what is in your heart. Of course you need to do that, you need to preserve your job! Wrong!
Most of fears power derives from perception. Monitor your thoughts carefully, maybe even write down what you are thinking. Look over what you have written down. What is the actual likelihood of anything you wrote down occurring. One thing that might be helpful is to assign a numeric value to it ranking it by the likelihood that it actually would occur. This may seem to simplistic, but what you are doing is taking the perception and bringing it closer to what is reality. You are also taking a step at managing your situation and gaining empowerment over it. You don't always have the power to change what is going on around you, but you always have the opportunity for self-mastery and this is much more powerful than you may think!
If you did the last exercise you have a better idea of what your true situation is. Raising yourself to a more positive vibration is done in steps, and is not an overnight process. That's the beautiful part though, there are steps and the steps are not overwhelming!
Ask yourself these questions now, what would I like my work environment to look like? What would I be accomplishing? What kind of role would I play or person would I be? Here is the most important question of all, how would that feel if I had all that? Close your eyes and feel that feeling for a moment. How do you feel? Congratulations you just raised your "light"! You might be saying to yourself, "Isn't that just my imagination? That's all fantasy crap right?" True, you did come up with that in your mind. However your mind is very powerful. The more you hold on to that feeling the more you act and behave like the person you want to become and that light shines out and the Universe responds. You will end up in that spot that you imagined. This is called manifesting. You have much more power than you believe.
Will you have that dream job overnight? Possibly. It has happened. More likely though there are steps to get there, and get there you will if you honestly feel and believe you will. It will inevitably help you in your current job situation in the meantime because you learn to accept if you are not happy where you are, eventually it will change. You just need to manifest for the future, but also remain present in the moment and not let fear deter you from your goals.
Getting back to your current job situation, next week I will address one of the number one stress producers of people in the workforce. That stress producer is dealing with difficult people. There are ways to work with Spirit to bring peace and harmony into even the most difficult of situations. You have angels and guides that are itching to work with you. I'll gladly share what I know, and yes it has worked beautifully for me!
Blessings,
Duncan
