Day 26: Reading Ab Hicks for 45mins each day ( My no1 easiest and most reliable resistance releasing activity)

My main reason for joining this forum is that I find writing a bit online every day really helpful. enhanced by knowing it's publicly visible.
(If this isn't appropriate to do here I'll stop lol). The forum I was writing in before was nothing to do with Ab Hicks and I was finding that my posts were becoming more Ab Hicks focused which was garnering a bit of negative attention. Then I thought how nice it would be to be able to write about things in a place comfortable with Ab Hicks ideas.

The biggest thing in my life right now is that I quit my office job of 15 years and am now fully self-employed with my girlfriend. Ab Hicks teachings have been incredible helpful, particularly at the beginning. I've now been self employed for over 2 years and it's fantastic that we're still going but I also still feel like we are kinda always 'hanging on' financially, like close to the edge so to speak. I'd love to get more secure. Looking at it in Hicks terms - have circumstances been reflecting my dominant thoughts and feelings? Absolutely yes What I've been finding is there are always tipping points for me when a bit of negative emotion beds in and a kind of downward spiral occurs - I start to feel that I can't feel better AND it's a bad idea to feel better as I need to keep protecting myself / beat myself into action.
During these periods I always find ways to pretend I'm releasing resistance but really still consciously holding onto to some of it - but not sure what to do differently

Then the converse tipping point occurs where I really get the taste for releasing resistance again, I believe I can do it, I want to do it and I believe it helps.
I had a pretty stressful November and December and when New Years eve and New Years day came round - I was so ready to use this 2 day weekend to really let myself feel some relief. In successfully experiencing some relief, I got the taste for more and 2024 has been going well since. Whenever negative emotion is hitting, I'm right on it and not tolerating it.

From this I've found that out of all the Hicks processes, the thing that is easiest and most effective for me, is just to set a timer for 45mins every morning and read some Ab Hicks. I've got enough books for this to not be too repetitive and the words have a way of staying fresh anyway. Guaranteed there will be points during this 45mins I notice emotional relief and it nudges my thinking every day in better feeling directions. I'm on day 26 of this and I am feeling consistently a little better and life is following - definitely noticing improved experiences all over the board.

Looking at why just reading for 45mins is the best thing for me: I've got a very analytical mind that's gets very fast very easily... and it's extremely dumb . or as Hicks would say 'it's been taught so much that's wrong it's almost impossible to think my way out'. With the other practices like meditation and stuff, they can be really great but not reliable - my mind can take them over and turn them bad. But just reading Hicks gives me access to better feeling thoughts so easily and 45 mins always works as a great amount of time to guarantee some nudge in the right direction.

That felt really good to write and I couldn't have written that in my last forum

Hi abrahammer117 Welcome to the Forum!

If you like, you can experiment with trying out some Abe techniques while you write your diary.

Things you may want to play with are:

● Giving little air time in your writing to unwanted things that happened in the past or that are in your present. (It's ok to start there, but you can use Abe teachings to talk yourself into a better-feeling place on that topic )

● Playing with Abe techniques that make you feel better such as:
---▶ Looking for slightly better feeling thoughts that give relief (=a sign of resistance being released)
---▶ Emphasising the wanted end of the stick, for example by stating what your intentions are
---▶ Finding things to appreciate in your daily life and giving more air time to those in your diary
---▶ Explore other Processes that you feel inspired to try out, which you find in your reading

If you would like some inspiration, feel free to check out how some other members are doing their Abe diaries:

• Tara's Diary
• Paradise on Earth's Diary
• Jenny Lee's Diary
• Simon's Diary
• Layshii's Diary

Of course you are free to do whatever feels best to you - these are just some suggestions to play with if you would like

Hi Spiritualcookie,

thank you for that !! That makes a lot of sense

Hi Abrahammer and warmly welcome to this forum! I moved your topic to the "Practicing the Teachings" category as I find that more fitting for your topic.

thanks!

Day 27: Reading Ab Hicks for 45mins each morning ( My no1 easiest and most reliable resistance releasing activity)
Day 2: posting here. Main guideline, focus on what's wanted with scant attention to unwanted

Thank you to spiritual cookie for advising that I write my diary focusing on what is wanted with little attention to unwanted. Straightaway that felt like a very good guideline to follow! It's a fun game to play
So! The most general thing I want right now is to have mornings where I do enough good vibrational work so that ... thinking ..... my average mood just keeps creeping up and up. That would be amazing. In 2024 I believe I am actually doing that and I would like to keep it up. It feels like just writing here every day under the guideline of giving attention to wanted would really help with that.

Since going self employed I now have morning periods to myself every day of 3-4 hours. I'd love to feel regular appreciation for that, it's an amazing thing.

I'd love to have fun at my work again and to feel optimistic about the business growing and doing well.

I'd like to have more fun in the evenings and be more engaged with my girlfriend.

Yep - writing under these guidelines is good!

So good! I already feel a positive vibration shift when reading your entry too!

hell yeah

Day 28: Reading Ab Hicks for 45mins each morning ( My no1 easiest and most reliable resistance releasing activity)
Day 3: posting here. Main guideline, focus on what's wanted with scant attention to unwanted

Again, feels so different to write only focusing on the wanted side of things.
I had a good morning - went for a jog which I'm getting back into. I'd really love to lose weight. Really love it. I'd like to feel excited about how much free time I have and the fun things I could do with it. I like the idea of getting more and more adapted to regular jogging and also enjoying all the lovely benefits it brings - including being more awake and energetic.

I read Ab Hicks for 45 mins again. Little points here and there were I felt a wave of positive emotion in the reading. Really good.

I'm finding that whenever negative emotion alerts me to my thinking shifting to unwanted - voicing in my head the most general of statements ' my inner being loves this moment so much & this moment DOES contain so many positive aspects' allows for a very effective nudge in a relieving direction

As my average mood creeps up my girlfriend is looking more beautiful and I just like her more and more and it's getting easier to have fun with her. I'd like to look forward more to seeing her and spending time with her.

I'm feeling more positive about money and I can feel that's a wise thing. I'm finding it much easier to take time off to take care of myself as the sense is increasing that indeed it is my vibe that allows the money in rather than my action making it happen.

I'm off work today and I'd like to have a day where I feel good about myself

wow - writing diaries like this is crazy good

Day 29: Reading Ab Hicks for 45mins each morning ( My no1 easiest and most reliable resistance releasing activity)
Day 4: posting here. Main guideline, focus on what's wanted with scant attention to unwanted

So! There's been good stuff in my morning. Read Hicks for 45mins and again at times I felt genuine positive emotion. The more my average mood increases the more eager I feel for it to improve even more.
I'd like to slow down more, enjoy spaciousness more. Most of all I'd like to feel awake and sharp in the mind

something I'd like to add to my mornings, which I've not done for a while, is just to sit outside for 45mins , not doing exercises or anything
..... I'd like warmer weather
