I just had this convo with someone. I am.aware of the gut feeling but test the waters, sure enough i was usually right.

Love this.. and on the numbers thing i KNOW i have seen 11 or 11:11 it times when change was happening.

Anyone ever heard of or read "As A Man Thinketh." It was written 'round 1900 so you know it only references man/men but it applies to all of us. I read it a very long time ago... loved it... applied it ... proceeded to forget all about it ... and recently rediscovered it.

Here's a blurb from the WIKI page...

As a Man Thinketh is a literary essay and book by James Allen, published in 1903. It was described by Allen as "... [dealing] with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues. I have tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. The price of the book is only one shilling, and it can be carried in the pocket." It was also described by Allen as "A book that will help you to help yourself", "A pocket companion for thoughtful people", and "A book on the power and right application of thought." The title is influenced by a verse in the Bible from the Book of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he".

HERE you'll find a free PDF copy of "As A Man Thinketh."

You're very welcome. I too have fallen off that "positivity" wagon. It took me a while to realize there are no seatbelts in that puppy! You've gotta hang on! ;)

I'll check out that book. Thanks!

I need to check this book out also! I too, have been falling off the wagon lately. I really need to get myself in check.

Ive been re-reading the LOA stuff I put together to remind myself of what I need to do. Also read a bit about Tapping tonight.

Well I practiced last night before I fell asleep and I'm practicing today before work. My visualization techniques and my meditating need a bit of work! LOL :jester: But my mind is positive and is in the right place.

That right there will do the trick!

I'm using the Law of Attraction not just to get myself back on track financially and employment wise, but also to help with my weightloss. So far, so good.:hangloose:

so glad to hear it.. i need to get back on track with Tapping.... this one is damn good

This could explain a lot. i need to protect myself better. Any suggestions?

The fixing part... wow, totally me.


Full-fledged Empath


You are wide open to picking up emotions and/or physical sensations from others and absorb them into your own body. You don’t have the usual filters that non-empaths have, so you feel everything! You are capable of deep love, intuition, creativity and connection with others, but must learn how how to set clear boundaries and not over-give. If you are undergoing a lot of stress in your life, you may be aware of becoming extra-sensitive and empathic, so you need to practice an increased amount of self-care. Your challenge is how to stay open and loving but not try to “fix” others or take on the stress of the world into your own body.

Interesting. I've never considered myself or looked into if I'm empathic. I've only thought myself to be intuitive. Same diff?? I got...

Partial Empath

You are sensitive in certain areas of your life, but you don't usually absorb energy from others. You may be sensitive to noise, scratchy clothes, or bright lights, but you probably don’t take on someone’s stress or anxiety into your own body. You care about the feelings of others, but their emotions don't usually feel overwhelming to you.

I am definitely a "fixer" ... but I've learned over the years that fixing is not always what the other person is after. More often than not they just want to vent and want someone to listen.

Protection is right there in the description... boundaries. The other thing I've learned over the years is that... identifying... creating ... and holding boundaries requires a lot of practice for everyone. A lot of practice for me and a lot of practice for friends and family. Changing oneself means changing others too.

Yes and i sometimes have to remind others not to try to *fix* me... a *no action required* disclaimer as it is sometimes the natural response.

i learned long ago not to take on other's suffering (i did body work on terminally its and the severely disabled ) but learning to not take on emotions of others, especially when they are intentionally trying to get me to feel as bad as them, seems so different to me.

Maybe i can apply the same concept.. that it's their path, not mine, and no one asked me to take on their shit.

Moderate Empath

You are open and caring and may, at times, be a sponge for other people’s stress and joy. You may be sensitive to noise, smells, and excessive talking. You like to have alone time to replenish. You feel relaxed in nature and may enjoy long quiet baths. You may have the tendency to “over-give” to people, and you sometimes have a hard time saying “no.” Learning to set healthy limits and boundaries is an essential part of your self-care. Learning these skills will replenish your energy.

Full-Fledged Empath
 

This was fun to take, I got the same result and I absolutely agree. :-)

Strange...... I took the test and I got Full Fledged Empath but I really don't agree? Maybe a Partial but definately not Full?:blink:
