My Going downstream journey

[simon]

In this thread I am wanting to practice going downstream and feeling better no matter where I am.
To release resistance on any subject in my life and using any process I feel like in the moment.
I want to feel better about things that often comes up in my life and where I have practiced beliefs about that feels less than good to me.
But, if I'm already feeling good, it can also be rampages of appreciation or creating a new grid. As always, it depends on the starting place.

---

I will start with some Easy matches:

- I am feeling excited about celebrating Christmas tomorrow
- It's so nice that there's snow outside and looks like it's going to be a "white christmas". It's so nice for all children to be able to play in the snow on Christmas.
- I'm looking forward to eating delicious christmas food and celebrating with family and people that mean a lot to me
- It feels so nice to have some vacation and it's so nice to not work anything more this year.
- In this vacation I can prioritize feeling good and taking care of myself
- It has been such a wonderful year with many fantastic things happening. I appreciate all contrast and all beautiful memories and my expansion this year.
- It's so nice to celebrate Christmas with my family and in Sweden this year. I love spending time with my father and sister.
- 2023 have been a wonderful year and 2024 can be even better, and I love how it always can get even better.
- I am looking forward to being a deliberate creator in 2024.
- Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year. And when it's snow outside it really puts me in a christmasy mood.
- Everything is always working out for me and I am grateful for being here in this physical world and being the creator of my own reality.

The photo is full of calm & peace. I love the sunrise/ sunset colours - it makes the snow even prettier

I'm so enjoying seeing how everyone does their processes - practising ~
practising our way downstream
practising our way to even more abundance
practising our way to even more joy
practising our way to even more of all the good things life has to offer
we're all on our way! ^_^

In some days I am going on a skiing trip and wanted to a focus block on some resistance about it.

What is bothering me?
I'm going on a 3 day long skiing trip with some colleagues and I feel unsure how it's going to go as I have never gone on such trip before and I have only went skiing twice in my life and I'm not good at all at skiing currently. There is also some new colleagues from other divisions I have never met before that's gonna stay in the same cabin and sleep over. I am a bit worried I'm going to be left out or not feel like I fit in.

So how do I want to feel instead?
I look forward to having a wonderful skiing trip with my co-workers and getting to know people more while having fun skiing

1	I'm glad that a colleague from my division that I often meet and that I get along really well with is also going to stay in the same cabin as me. He is also on the same skill level as me when it comes to skiing so we can both learn to ski together on this trip.
2	There are many others from my division that is also going on this trip, even though they won't sleep over in the same cabin, they will be in other cabins nearby and we're going to party together. I'm sure that is going to be nice. Everyone I know from my division are so nice people and I look forward to hanging out with them.
3	I like knowing that there are many easier slopes as well that I can start with until I feel very comfortable with skiing on them, and gradually go to more difficult slopes as I feel ready. I won't have to pressure myself to anything and it's all my choice which slopes I want to ski on and what I feel like doing during the trip at any point in time.
4	I like that I bought those skis and ski boots so I can have my own equipment and won't have to rent them. It's going to be nice to get a feel for how they feel to ski on and I like knowing that if I find it a lot of fun, I can go more times to different skiing places and have a nice time, and will know how my skis are like to ski on.
5	I have never been to such big skiing place before, so that's going to be interesting to see how it is. It's also nice that it's in Norway. I look forward to visiting Norway again, it's a very beautiful country. It will also be my first time visiting Norway during the winter and that's very nice.
6	No matter what happens, I know that I am in control of my focus, and therefore how I feel. I have full freedom over my actions and my focusing. If I don't feel like skiing more I can just stay in the cabin and have a nice time by myself. I like knowing that I am in charge of my life and how I feel.
7	Three days gives me plenty of opportunities to become better at skiing. I went skiing in a place nearby yesterday and from that I now know what I can practice on to get better at it. That's a very nice first step.
8	It's nice that I won't be the only one that's quite new to skiing. It think it could be fun learning together with my nice colleagues. All colleagues I've met have been very nice people.
9	I like trying new things. Maybe I will discover how much fun it can be skiing, that I didn't know before. And the very "worst" thing that can happen is contrasting experiences which will lead to my expansions, and it's only something going right. There's nothing serious going on and it's just for fun. The reason everyone wants to go on this trip is because of the fun they will have on the trip.
10	If I need some alone time, I will be able to take some alone time. I like knowing that I always have the option of distracting myself or focusing on something different if I want to.
11	It's so nice we will have access to a big cottage. It even has a a sauna where we can get warm after a long day skiing. We will even cook our own food and that will be fun to do as well.
12	I am thankful for this opportunity to go on this skiing trip and it's going to be exciting to go to a big skiing place for the first time in my life! I love the variety in life.

It's funny how I was one week wrong about the skiing trip, giving me more time to vibrationally prepare, as it's this Thursday!
I already feel like I'm in a good feeling place about it. Also went skiing on the Sunday in a place just like 1h away from me with my father and his partner's son, and it was fun. It was nice to spend some quality time with family.

Starting place:
I think it's going to be a nice trip. It's hard to know as I haven't been on a trip to a big skiing place like that before with a lot of co-workers. But I don't see why not. There are some co-workers that I am close to and enjoy spending time with, but there will also be some that I never have met before, that also will live in the same cabin as me. Hopefully it's going to be fun!

Going downstream:
- I am glad that I bought my skis and ski boots and the ski boots fits well and the skies seems to be working very well. Now I don't have to even think about renting equipment. (D)

- When I went skiing this Sunday it was very fun. I felt like I have become better at skiing and when I went on the slopes I was ready for, it felt like I was developing while having fun on the way down. I like knowing I can just stick with the slopes I am comfortable with and just enjoy the ride. (D)

- Every person I have met from my work have been very nice people. It's likely going to just be nice people in my cottage. It's also nice that they are all there for the same reason, wanting to enjoy some vacation and go skiing. (D)

- No matter what happens I am the one choosing my thoughts and therefore the circumstances doesn't "make me" feel anything, it's all about how I choose to focus. I like knowing that. (D)

- The place where we're going has longer slopes and some easy ones. It will be fun going on longer slopes than I have been before. It's going to be nice to also learn how to ski better on those slopes. (D)

- If I don't feel like skiing there's nothing forcing me to go skiing. If I don't feel like being social I don't need to either. I can choose what I feel like doing when I'm there. (D)

- I like knowing that I have a co-worker that is as beginner as me at skiing that I can ski with on the same easier slopes. That will be fun! (D)

- I appreciate that they organized this fun trip and that so many wanted to come along. (D)

- It's going to be fun to see how it is in a bigger skiing place like that. And, to experience the beautiful nature in Norway during the winter. (D)

- I look forward to the trip. I bet it's going to be a lot of fun!

Starting point:

I find it frustrating at work sometimes. There is so much to do and stressful in one of the projects where we have already gone over budget because it has taken more time than anticipated. I feel sometimes I get some blame for that even though I'm not the reason for it.

Finding BFTs:

I find it frustrating and stressful at times at work, but it has been going in the right direction lately. It is getting better and we all working in the project have a better flow now than before (B)

No matter what the reason for the project going over the budget is, it is quite normal thing to happen for IT projects like this, and the original time estimation was not consulted with us developers, we weren't in on the original time estimation. Then it wouldn't make sense if any of us talented developers can be at blame. (B)

Despite going over the original time estimation, we now have gotten more time available to continue to work on the project. It's not being halted, and the customer wants to see it through to an end product. It's nice to see that the customer think it's still worth it. (B)

To be fair, the original time estimation was really quite low for a project like this. It makes sense that it has gone over that original time estimation. Us developers should really give ourselves a break. We have really done our best. (B)

It seems like my boss is starting to see that we have been and are doing our best and continues to do a good work and he sees especially now that we are doing good progress. (B)

We all developers have learned a lot on this journey, and gotten more experienced. Any of the contrast we are all have experienced on this journey, we have added to our vortexies. (B)

It makes me realize that not matter what happens moving forward, nothing of this has been wasted, and all the contrast has been valuable for my expansion. (B)

With the progress I've been seeing just the last 2 weeks, and the increased desire in all of us to want it to succeed, and the better flow we have, I am starting to believe that this product could end up a success and that the customer will be happy in the end. (B)

We all have many years of experience and experience with many projects, and this is just one. We've all been through similar experiences before and know that in the end, these kind of stuff usually work themselves out in the end. (B)

I want to be easier on myself

I very recently found out I have Aphantasia and no inner monologue. For me I thought it was how everyone was experience the world until I read about it and that people are seeing actually images in their mind. It blew my mind and I feel frustrated. It feels unfair. I also wish I had that ability.

I have been struggling with applying the Abe processes in my own life and finding any success with them for so many years, becasue I haven't been able to fully feel sure on the first step, to fully know my actual thoughts I am thinking, as I don't really hear them or see them.

It's as if observation is the only thing I know... I know to the core of my being that these Abe teachings is how things actually work, and they have always resonated with me , and I have actually have first hand experience of that, in that I had a period where I felt totally amazing from when I had a period of very little contrast in my life and I spent the days listening to Abraham videos and music that made my heart sing, and seeing the amazing manifestations that was a perfect response to how good I was feeling. Then I started working at my first job and got a lot of contrast and I've never felt *as* good ever since then, at least not as consistently, and it makes sense, I have expanded a lot and haven't been as deliberate in my thinking as I could. But I like knowing that everything I have asked for is "done" inside my Vortex. I just need to find ways to catch up with my expansion.

I've so been wanting to be a good delibarete creator, and never understood why no one else had the same issues as I had when it came to learning the more delibarete processes (as oppose to conditionally listening to music or videos that make me feel good, which works for me but is limiting as I can't do that all the time). I've always struggled with "how do I know what I really am thinking" or "how do I know exactly how to control my thoughts". I have even been watching courses about focus and thinking to try to figure that out, a thing that seem so self evident for everyone else.

At least now I understand why not everyone has problems with this. I understand why i was confused. I don't understand how it works and why I don't really see images in my mind or "hear" a voice in my mind. Why me, etc. I think it might be hard to know how common or uncommon this phenomenon is. I've never in my whole life before known that I'm having a different "inner world" experience than many people do. There are probably many more people that are the same as me but are unaware about that too.
I found a video on YouTube with someone else having the exact same experience as me, so I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one.

I know this contrast have made me ask for more clarity about this. And I want to stop struggling. I want to stop trying to make sense of it.
I am experiencing my "inner world" in my way, and I want to make peace with that.
I've been experiencing before that I still can feel happy and thriving despite of this. It haven't been hindering me to live a good life.
I have a house, a job, people that I care about and people that care about me. Everything is going to work out and be fine
