Using Conscious Creation To Improve Your Life
You've probably heard the phrase, "Idle hands are the devil's
tools" -- meaning if you don't have something to keep you busy,
you're likely to get into trouble. That can be argued of course,
since the intent to cause trouble probably has to be present
also.
However, the concept itself does hold some truth regarding what
we create in our lives. If it's true that we get back what we
put out (into the universe), then it's easy to see why "idle
hands" would be a bad thing for us. Life on this planet is an
exercise in creating our own reality. Moment to moment, we are
making decisions. Whether we act or don't act, we are putting
forth our intent.
Every action has a consequence, either good or bad. Remember the
concept, "like attracts like." Imagine that every bit of energy
you put out is traveling the universe, gathering similar energy,
and eventually being returned right back to you. It makes you
think more carefully about what type of energy you are putting
out every day, doesn't it? If we do nothing, we get nothing back
(or at least nothing very good). Our lives become boring, empty
shells. The very act of not moving, not doing, not creating
causes stagnation.
Does that mean that as long as we keep busy, we'll have lots of
prosperity and joy? Not necessarily. Remember that we need to
focus our intent on what we're creating. We need to engage in
the act of conscious creation every day, putting out positive,
purposeful energy. What we get back is more positive energy,
more abundance and more joy.
Conscious creation means thinking about what you want to do with
your time, moment to moment. There are 24 hours in a day --
1,440 minutes -- 86,400 seconds. Some of it has to be put aside
for work, sleep, family, errands, housework, and the like. What
are you doing with the rest of that time? Are you wasting it on
mindless pursuits, or focusing it into purposeful activities?
I'm not referring to just hobbies here, either. This is a
process that can be applied to every aspect of our lives.
Whether we have a lot of time to devote to hobbies or not
doesn't matter. What matters is that we consciously focus our
intent on building our circumstances, one minute at a time.
Some of us live our lives on autopilot. It's not that we don't
want to do anything, we just don't know what to do. We have no
direction, no passion, no purpose to work toward. We get up each
morning, go to work, come home and lose ourselves in the
television for the rest of the night. In the process, we are
creating more of the same stagnant energy. If this describes
you, it's time to shake things up! Develop some passions. Get
excited about something. Turn your idle hands into busy hands
and create something magical. The very act of moving will put
energies into motion and begin pulling more favorable
circumstances into your life.
Keep in mind this is a cumulative process and it takes time to
fully transform your circumstances. One day of activity and
purpose won't change everything around. Remember that you
probably have months or years of stagnant energy built up that
has resulted in your life the way it is today. By consistently
working at it and keeping that positive energy in motion, it
will begin to feed on itself and create even more positivity.
