Check out my new best friend: Pogo. Yes, I just named my rebounder. I am fully anthropomorphizing it. Yep. I guess it's all the Bizarro fiction I've been reading lately.
As many of you know, right now I'm very influenced by the teachings of Abraham. One of the basic tenets is to feel good. Because you attract what you are vibrating. When you feel good, you attract good things. When working with the law of attraction, I think the tendency is to focus on the mental or the spiritual. And Abraham does focus on the emotional a lot as well. It is our emotional guidance system that tells us if we are on the right or wrong track as far as what we'd like to attract. But I rarely notice anyone in law of attraction circles talking about the physical. So, I just want to remind us all to remember the physical.
I thought of that this morning because I was really excited to get on Pogo. (You know, I'm not sure about that name. It was the nickname of a kid I knew in grade school. It was a shortening of his last name. I like the name because I got it from this song sent to me by Michael Sherlock. But "getting on Pogo" still sounds weird to me, since I think of him as a 4th grade boy. I might have to rethink that.)
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Rebounding. I noticed that it just makes me feel good. I had the urge to do it when I got home from work yesterday. It was during that "I'm tired and vaguely annoyed because I just got home from a somewhat stressful day and I'm not fully integrated into my home life yet" time. A few minutes of bouncing sounded really good. I'd like to say I did it right then, but I didn't. I did do it later. And it did make me feel good. It seemed to change my physical chemical composition. It shook me up and made me feel tingly. A fellow rebounder told me that even just a few minutes of bouncing has beneficial effects. I can see that.
Here are some of the benefits of rebounding. The site is a little ghetto, but I did a quick skim and it looks like good info. Here's another one.
My main point is, if you want to improve your point of attraction, remember that enjoyable physical activity is a great option. By improving your point of attraction, I basically mean improving your mood. You cannot attract something better until you feel better. I know, it seems backwards, but that's the way it works. Everything in your experience is under your control. That's the blessing of the universe. (And sometimes the curse!) When we understand and consciously use the law of attraction to bring good things to us by feeling good, it is the blessing.
So, get out there and bounce, dance, run, walk, kick box, or scuba dive your way to a better life. I'm sure you can think of others. Feel good!

New template for day planning
I have a new template for what I want to accomplish on a daily basis. In the past, it has been easy for me to get distracted. I am now committing to more discipline and focus. I am committing to making sure my priorities get done so I live the life of my dreams.
The following are my priorities for every day.
Every day
Meditation
Focus
Physical activity
Healthy eating
Feeling good/fun
Most days
relationships
dharma (life work)
learning
Initially, I made a list that encompassed all those things on a daily basis as my priorities. I realized that I might be asking too much. So I distilled it to the things that I felt were really essential to accomplish every day and then allowed some flex room for the others.
I also had "giving back" on the list, but I'm not sure where that goes. In a sense, it is every day. If I am doing my dharma and/or working on my relationships, I am giving to the world. (Although those things are most days.) I'm not sure exactly what I mean by "giving back". I know it is important, but not sure it's on the list yet or in what capacity. But I also feel the most important thing is keeping myself in order. Taking care of myself and giving back flows from there. If I focus too much on giving back, I could slip into self-sacrificer mode. That helps no one. If everyone took care of themselves, everyone would be taken care of, right? Sometimes I like to use that as a test question for my decisions, "If everyone did this, what would the world look like?" If it looks good, I feel it's a good thing to do. So anyway. It's not on the list yet. But it is in alternate orbit.
So, since I like repetition and I feel like the whole "giving back" issue hijacked the most important points in this post, I'll repeat my list for me and for you.
Daily
Meditation
Focus
Physical activity
Healthy eating
Feeling good/fun
Most days
relationships
dharma (life work)
learning
I like the word dharma better than work. It feels like a calling. It feels like meaningful work. It can mean many different things, in my opinion. The work I do at my job is my dharma, in some sense, but also is being a mom. Taking care of my home and family is part of my dharma. Dharma is not drudgery. The word "work" for me connotes drudgery. Dharma is joyful. Dharma is inspired. Dharma makes us say a loud "Yes!" When we are following our dharma, our spirit sings. We know we are doing what we are meant to do and it feels goods. It is deeply fulfilling. I suppose sometimes drudgery can be a part of dharma. But when we think of the larger reason we are doing it, we can infuse the drudgery with inspiration. I may not want to clean my refrigerator. It can feel like drudgery, but when I think of it as a gift to myself and my family, it can be a part of my dharma. (I'm still not doing it today, though!)
Ok, so that list again...
Daily
Meditation
Focus
Physical activity
Healthy eating
Feeling good/fun
Most days
relationships
dharma (life work)
learning
Ok, so far so good on today. I need to get off my butt and do some physical activity.
I guess I could be more specific about these daily goals, like I have about dharma and (dare I say it?) giving back.
Meditation--I do a simple breathing meditation that includes mudras at least once/day. It doesn't take long, but it helps me to feel much better and focus. It helps me connect to my spirit. Because it doesn't take long, I encourage myself to do it more than once/day. I found I was much more effective at work when I would take the time to do it at my desk before my day began. I am now incorporating it into my daily life at home, too. When I have some time in the evening before bed, I do it then, too. I am also incorporating it into any time of the day when I feel I need more focus or to relax a little. It infuses me with peace and energy.
Focus--My daily focus is a part of this. I also strive to be intentional and mindful in most situations. I strive to segment intend my day a la Abraham.
Physical Activity--Right now, I strive to move at least 10,000 steps on my pedometer. This is a realistic goal. In the future, I may choose to be more specific about getting in specific types of activity or more of it. For now, 10,000 steps is something I can achieve. Sometimes I need to work harder at it than others.
Healthy Eating--Moderation is a big part of healthy eating for me. I can still enjoy my favorite foods. For me, healthy eating includes getting 5+ servings of fruits and vegetables, drinking primarily water or herbal tea throughout the day, eating sweets or junk food in very limited quantities. I am not totally meeting these guidelines right now, but I am getting there. I love my coffee. I choose to drink it still. There may come a day when I quit it (I have in the past with no problem.) I am currently kicking a diet soda habit (1-3/day). Not sure if I will let it go completely or not, but I choose to drastically reduce it. Ideally, to none at all. I choose to focus on the water and herbal tea. It seems to be about beverages for me. I still enjoy an alcoholic beverage occasionally, but not too often. Again, moderation.
Feeling good/fun! Pretty self-explanatory. I try to make feeling good a choice as much as possible, regardless of what is going on around me. However, usually what is going on around me is pretty good. I have made it that way. :)
Relationships, too, are pretty self-explanatory. Giving time and energy to making sure the primary relationships in my life are functioning well. Giving time and energy to the important people in my life. Making it a priority. This can take many forms, from date night with my husband, to special time with my kids, to emails and letters to friends, or a girls night out. Whatever it is, it's about valuing the important people around me.
Learning--to me this is just about being a lifelong learner. I am curious about the world around me on many levels. My learning continues on a daily basis. I like to learn about astrology and spirituality and the law of attraction. I am currently engaged in increasing my knowledge of the financial world. It is important to me to continue learning and growing and staying current. It is important to me to focus my learning on things that will improve my life, my family's life, those around me, the health of the planet and her beings, and the world in general. It's important to keep learning to keep my brain sharp and to continue to be relevant in the world. For all these reasons, I'm a lifelong learner.
Now I have to go do some of this stuff. (Of course, writing all this is part of my dharma and my learning and giving back.)
The following are my priorities for every day.

Daily Focus 10/13/08
Today is a great day!
Today I am free.
I will accomplish what needs accomplished.
I will get closer to my goal of having a very put-together house that is beautiful, clean, and inviting. It is all happening!
Today I will be inspired.
Today I will feel focused.
Today I am happy and in love. And happy in love. Wow, 8 years later, happy in love. It's one of the themes of today, it seems. I haven't addressed love and romance much because I feel I've got that one. Ha. Well, I know I can take it to the next level. It is fun.
I love my life.
I savor every moment.
I make good choices.
Ha ha ha! My computer froze up in the middle of my daily focus! Oh Mercury! BTW, Mercury turns direct soon. October 15. Expect the retrograde fun to gradually taper off from then to the 31st, when it gets out of its shadow period.
Ok, back to focus. This is particularly funny because I had wanted to make focus a part of my focus. I felt a little flighty yesterday and like I didn't follow my proper flow. I guess for today then, I will modify my focus to be more in the flow. I will listen to my intuition. I will be in the right place at the right time to achieve all my important goals. The law of attraction will aid me. I can just have fun. And listen. Maybe I'll get to organizing my CDs today (after 2 years--good Mercury Rx activity.) But maybe I won't. I will go with the flow.
I respect my body. I take care of my body. My body treats me well. I treat it well. I love my body.
Nothing is more important than that I feel good today.
It feels a bit like a "path of least resistance day." I'll go with that.
Happy day to all. Feel good!

Daily Focus 10/12/08
Today I will treasure my friends.
It is after noon and I am just doing my daily focus! Ha. No wonder I've been unfocused. ;)
It is a great day. It is a leisurely day.
I seem to have started to care less about my goal to accomplish a lot this weekend. Oh well. That is ok.
My main goal is to be happy.
Nothing is more important than that I feel good.
I just bought a lot of postage stamps. Pretty ones, because they make me happy. yay. I am abundant. And I will have an abundance of pretty postage stamps. And I will be happy whenever I put them on any outgoing mail. Happy. Enjoying the little things. I will savor every moment. Postage stamps and otherwise.
I think I still choose to put the laundry away. That would be nice to have done. Whether I do it or someone else. My laundry will get put away. I have accomplished 2 of the 3 goals for my weekend already. Granted, they are not lofty goals, but accomplished they are. (Did I mention that I got Yoda stamps? I love Yoda.)
I am in the flow today.
I am enjoying each moment.
My home is harmonious. My home is peaceful. My home is fun.
Every day it is getting more efficient, organized, clean, beautiful, and comfortable. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That is the feeling associated with my home. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I love my husband. He is so sweet. He is very loving and fun. And successful. We will have fun together today.
My kids get along great. They are sweet to each other. They choose their words carefully before they speak. They are learning the importance of doing so. We create joy every day.
Hey, I may have already won the lottery today. That would be great. I guess I would have won it yesterday. I should probably go check. It matters not. I am happy. I am abundant. All good things flow to me. One way or another. The law of attraction takes care of me.
All is well.
I am in the flow.
Nothing is more important than that I feel good. And I do. In fact, I feel great!
Have a great day, everyone. What's left of it. Mwah haaaa haaa.

Daily Focus, 10/1/08
This is my Daily Focus. Feel free to add yours in the comments. Or put it anywhere!
I think, in honor of Mercury Retrograde, I'm going to do a re-run of yesterday's focus.
From Abraham:
Nothing is more important than that I feel good.
Also, I intend to use this Mercury Retrograde to remember to follow the path of least resistance and go with the flow. It's been really helpful for that.
Also, I got a message from Enlightened Messages for your Soul in my email this morning that said, "Your mission is to enjoy this life." I like that.
OK. Re-cap:
Nothing is more important than that I feel good.
Follow the path of least resistance.
Go with the flow
My mission is to enjoy this life.
Nothing is more important than that I feel good.
Here's a little Mercury Retro Fun for early a.m. (then I really must jump a shower). I decided to really give in yesterday and bought a political t-shirt. I have never been this political in my life. Well, maybe, in the early '90s in COLLEGE. And I'm not even saying I'm being super-political. This is just a lot for me. But, I've been inspired. So, I had the impulse, and I spent my $12 to get the t-shirt I really wanted and AFTER I ordered it, I noticed that they told me "It could take up to 2-4 weeks to receive your t-shirt."
Quoi?
In this age of instant gratification?
For such a timely thing.
2-4 WEEKS?
I actually had a feeling that might happen. So it made me laugh really hard. I don't begrudge the $12 I spent to help get young voters registered. It should get here in time for the election. I bet it gets here way earlier than that. But, man did it crack me up.
Enjoying life, here.
Ok, that was a little sidetrack in the Daily Focus.
