Process #1 of 5 for quick & easy focus & alignment  Photo of red-and-white door on stone building with #1 on address placard. From Ante Hamersmit on Unsplash. Here, you’ll find the first of 5 FOCUSING & ALIGNMENT PROCESSES I want to offer you precisely because
All of these processes come from Abraham-Hicks, where I’m getting most of my dynamic learning & input for feeling great about my evolving life these days! These tools are especially wonderful to use first thing in the morning, so you establish for yourself how you want to feel. Don’t let others, your inbox, the news, the commute—DON’T LET ANYTHING ESTABLISH YOUR FEELING STATE FOR YOU. Don’t let something external tell you what to focus on. Don’t even let your habitual thoughts or feelings co-opt what’s possible for this brand-new day. EASY EXISTING MATCHES (You might write EEM at the top of your page) This process has 3 easy steps, and the first 2 could take 30 seconds. Step #3 takes as long as you want to give it. Really drop in with it, whether you do that for 1 minute, 5, or until you have your own sense of completion. Most important, notice, when you’re ready to stop, that you feel different—you’ve shifted your feeling state. You’ve established yourself in feeling and believing you can feel HOW YOU WANT TO FEEL. Step 1. Simply notice how you feel. Let’s say you’re not so sure you feel fantastic today, or some dissatisfaction or hard feelings have already started to form. Perhaps they even grabbed you right when you woke up. You can feel the force of how they’re starting to call in other upsets & complaints. You can feel it in your body. Your mind has taken off without your go-ahead, and you can already feel the MOMENTUM of a line of thinking that’s self-defeating or just makes you feel bad. You know you could end up evaluating your whole life, right? And you’ll find it faulty or meh. (Funny how that works.) Step 2. Identify and write down how you want to feel. This could be about a particular topic or an upcoming event today; or, in general, just how you’d like to feel right now and on this day. Let’s say you establish that you want to feel like you love your life. You want to feel great.  Image of numbers 1-2-3 cropped from a photo by ISO10 on Unsplash. Step 3. List Easy Existing Matches
All you’re doing here is writing down things already fully present in your life that match the feeling you’re after. This allows you to call it up, know it’s already yours, remember it’s alive for you. This isn’t something you need to strain or strive for. It’s not out of reach or unknown. It’s already yours! Just list what’s right in reach that already fills the bill: easy existing matches. On a very recent gray & frigid morning, I created an EEM list for feeling great. It included things like this:
Note that I did NOT feel great when I began, and I did when I stopped. I also didn’t feel horrible when I began (though I would have used this process just the same if I had). I like to catch things early, before they build momentum. I love to sit down first thing in the day and do some processes to head right away toward how I want to feel. Bee tee dubs, one of my morning processes is free games on the New York Tiimes app. Which Abraham has never suggested, but they constantly remind us to judge nothing. Do what works. Follow what delights you. Mind your feeling state, because that’s minding your alignment. When you feel aligned, inspired thought comes in, right action grabs you, the thing to look up or reach for or attend to comes clearly into view. Try it, you’ll like it. And, hey, you know this already. You’re doing it already on some level. So try it more. Early and often. Abraham taught me: Care about how you feel. And when you feel bad, reach for what will make you feel better. ADDENDUM. There's an Easy Existing Matches exercise Abraham recommends for when you're having a hard time with another human being, especially someone who impacts your everyday reality. It's great to use for family members, spouses or primary partners, close friends, and so on. On day 1, you write one thing that's an easy existing match for what you love about this person (or why you appreciate them, or whatever you like). On day 2, you write two. On day 3, you guessed it, write three. The only rule is that you can't repeat anything. You're welcome to write tiny details (that mole on their cheek, the sound of their voice, the way they roll their eyes ... Do this for 30 days! (Someday I plan to do the math to figure out how many that totals.) Or keep going, if you're loving what's happening as momentum accrues with this EEM exercise and your view of the person in question keeps shifting into something that's more and more aligned with how your Inner Being sees them. You'll notice feeling the love more, feeling more expansive and at ease in general where that person is concerned, and having less of that bad sensation you get when you're being critical and more of the lovely feeling that comes with seeing them in their best light. When you let someone be wherever they are on their journey, trusting that they're in an evolution just as you are, it feels ... divine. Process #2, on Segment Intending from Abraham Hicks, is the next blog post! Love & blessings, Jaya
