Did you ever accidentally\u00a0 click on one of those ads that say something like How Many Eyes Does This Baby Have?<\/em> and it takes you to a quiz for a mind game or some such?\u00a0\u00a0 If you’re not careful, you don’t see at the very bottom, where you have to scroll to see it, it tells you that your ATT account will be charged if you click on it.\u00a0 Then you try to close out of it because you didn’t mean to go there in the first place, and you keep having to answer complex questions to get past the pop-up box.\u00a0 Since if you just click “cancel”, then that takes you right to the quiz.\u00a0 I used to get ticked when I’d get caught up on the endless loops of windows and popups like that.\u00a0 I’m too busy for that crap!<\/em> Now it’s just my signal I need to take a break and stretch and relax, that I’ve been letting resistance pile up unnoticed, so I appreciate when it happens.\u00a0 I\u2019m always ready to release unnecessary crap!<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, do you clean up your computer caches after you\u2019ve been at it for a few hours?\u00a0 It your computer is slow, it\u2019s likely just that you need to clean out your caches and your temporary files.\u00a0 Go to Ccleaner.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Ccleaner (c for \u201ccrap\u201d) is a software tool that removes temporary files, cookies, adware and spyware from your computer.\u00a0 It empties your recycle bin, clears your last download locations and URL history, and removes your log files.\u00a0 When you go to run it, it tells you it will permanently removes these files from your computer, and it makes sure you are ready by asking \u201cAre you sure you wish to proceed?\u201d<\/p>\n

Am I sure?\u00a0 Of course!\u00a0 Who wouldn\u2019t want to remove all the unnecessary crap from their computer, so that it will run more efficiently?\u00a0 Well, there are some people who rely on those temporary files because they want to revisit websites without bookmarking them, and they don\u2019t want to retype their passwords to get into their files.\u00a0 And they are willing to put up with a bunch of unnecessary files piling up, slowing them down in every other area of work on the computer, in order to keep in place what is known to them.<\/p>\n

I run Ccleaner every day and typically get 16-60mb of old files removed before I shut down for the day.\u00a0 That helps me start fresh for the next session, and makes sure I don\u2019t carry the \u2018crap\u2019 of today into my tomorrow.<\/p>\n

If you think about it, that\u2019s what meditation and reflection does for us, too.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 It gives us time to review what we\u2019ve taken in that day and lets us decide what we want to keep with us, and what is useful to discard with day\u2019s end.\u00a0 What is just temporary and what we want to keep permanently.\u00a0 We go into each day with a fresh slate, leaving behind what was useful for yesterday and bringing with us only what we choose to relive again today.\u00a0 Doing an evening review before I sit to meditate is the same as rebooting my internal guidance system.\u00a0 That allows me to sweep clean and start fresh.\u00a0 Those few moments of quiet reflection allow me to cutivate my thoughtfield, to keep it freshly plowed and ready for new seeding.<\/p>\n

If I am not vigilant, it is easy for that field to become hard and crusted over with the thoughts, beliefs, angers and resentments of yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s when I find myself being close minded.\u00a0 So at the end of each day, as I close down my computer and run my Ccleaner program, when it reminds me that it will permanently remove these files from my computer, I take it as a metaphor for my life.<\/p>\n

I think a resounding YES and let go of my tension and troubles of the day at the same time.\u00a0 When it asks \u201cAre you sure you wish to proceed?\u201d I affirm YES I AM.\u00a0 I AM ready to proceed with removing the crap from my day (and my life) that no longer serve me.\u00a0 I AM ready to proceed with leaving behind anything that shows up in my life as toxic.<\/p>\n

I AM ready to proceed with moving in the direction of my goals or my joy, whichever comes first, (and so far I have not been surprised to find they can be one and the same thing).\u00a0 I AM ready to proceed to the next stage of my life, the next rung up the ladder, the next adventure, no matter what form it will take, because my experience is that I attract only good and helpful things.<\/p>\n

Now it took a lot of years of cleaning up my karma before I began attracting what I considered only good and helpful things.\u00a0 And cleaning up my karma means I began being aware of behaviors and ways of being and relating to other people that was perhaps not always kind, that was perhaps sarcastic or flippant or manipulative in some way, sometimes unconsciously, sometimes on purpose.\u00a0 And I began noticing other people doing it to me and me not liking it.\u00a0 And I began wanting to not do that anymore because I didn\u2019t want that to happen to me anymore.\u00a0 And I began to learn that I attracted more of what I did and thought about, so I began to change what I did and what I thought about.<\/p>\n

I learned that I really got a kick out of helping people out and I really got a kick out of doing it behind the scenes.\u00a0 I began to take that on as a personal practice, first to control my ego, then just as a personal discipline.\u00a0 First to see if I really got any sense of inner satisfaction if I was getting no outward strokes from the people involved.\u00a0 I was surprised at the force of the inner floodgates that opened, and the ensuing response I felt internally, as if some Big Supreme Poobah had set up residence in my head, assuring me that what I did was of value and made a difference, and that all would be well forevermore no matter what.<\/p>\n

And I totally believe it.\u00a0 And that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.<\/p>\n
