You’re creating constantly, especially when you’re complaining!  Jinn writes: “Often you complain that no one is listening to you. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Universe is, in fact, taking in every word and responding to your every wish. So, why have all your dreams not come true? You are most likely not being clear. The Universe would like to bring you all that you ask, so you must be mindful of what you ask for. Imagine a waitress standing beside you preparing to take your order. English is not her primary language, so she catches most of what you say, but there are gaps in her understanding. You say, “I want coffee”, then start to converse with your friends. “I don’t think I’ll get the eggs, last time they were runny and the toast was burnt.” You look over at your friend and say quietly, “I’ll get the pancakes today”. You close your menus and hand them to the waitress, saying sarcastically, “No rush, we like our food cold”. So then, one hour later, the waitress brings you coffee, cold, runny eggs, and burnt toast.

If you saw a turtle on a fence post, would you take him down?  Or would you take a few pictures and ask everyone how they thought he got there and what do they think should be done about it and how unfair it was for him to be put there and point fingers at who should be blamed and punished?  In the meantime, the turtle is on the fence post and would appreciate being taken down and left alone, out of the limelight. Just take him down and stop discussing him.

“Just because you miss someone doesn’t mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just the part of moving on.” A friend posted that on Facebook.  My experience is what we think of as a longing for our lost love is often a longing for the relationship we imagined in our head, rather than the one we actually had.  Physically, it’s mostly muscle memory and being caught in what I call the limbic loop. The limbic system is responsible for emotions, memories, motivation, which means our memories feed our emotions which feed our feelings which feed our thoughts which feed our memories which feed… you get it. We can get caught in this endless cycle, or we can turn our attention elsewhere on purpose. Your mind keeps going back to its biggest thoughtform and running that in a loop unless you give it new experiences to mull over.  That mean to get yourself out among people you don’t know and do some things you don’t normally do.  Interact and talk with as many new people about as many new things as you can. If you find something that interests you, then get more info about it. This gives your mind something new to reflect on until your emotions can settle down and you get out of the limbic loop.
