Dear Friends,
I had the best conversation with Abraham a few days ago. There was something that I really needed to get done and I just didn’t feel like doing it. I felt paralyzed and stuck and while I knew I could make myself do it, I didn’t want to do that, either. So I asked Abraham what they thought about my situation. They asked me these questions:
Why would you want to do this thing?
Because others are expecting it. Because I like to keep my agreements. Because it is helpful to others. Because I enjoy doing it once I get started.
What are the advantages of not doing it?
I cannot think of any advantages of not doing it.
What are the disadvantages of not starting this project?
I feel uncomfortable. I feel fitful. I feel tension.
What do you think is holding you back?
I feel uncomfortable in my body. I didn’t organize or plan the project yet. I haven’t set up my work flow. I have no physical energy.
Is there something else that is calling you today?
No
Do you want to watch television?
No
Do you want to take a nap?
No
Do you want to go somewhere?
No
What could you do to prepare to do it?
I could decide where to be while I do it: Dining room table, desk in my office, barstool in the kitchen. I could make my bed. I could take my shower. I could put on my makeup and comb my hair and get ready for the day. I could meditate. I could make a hot drink for myself.
And, then, I felt different about it. I actually wanted to take those steps and to do my project. I asked Abraham: How can something so simple help get me “ready to start?”
Abraham said: Because with each answer to these questions your Energy became less split. And less split Energy means more clarity.
I’m going to keep this list of questions handy (I printed them out) and whenever I feel stuck I am going to ask myself these simple questions. I love practical tools!
With our love,
Esther
(and Abraham and Jerry)
