Recently I have been trying out a “feeling good” experiment. The idea is very simple, I try to enjoy everything I do, no matter how small or trivial it may seem. Unless I feel good emotionally, I don’t begin the task as I consider myself “not ready" yet. And when I am on the task, I actually enjoy what I am doing.

This may sound counterproductive, but in fact, it didn't “waste” any more time than how I used to procrastinate or dragging on. I found myself completing my tasks quicker and enjoy them a lot more. 

The Law of Attraction

I played with this "feeling good" experiment for a couple of fo reasons: 1.) I want to become more present and deliberately to appreciate all the good things around me. 

This is all sparked by an impulse or more accurately I was being reminded about the law of attraction. I know there are things in my life that I managed to achieve, attract or attain effortlessly or with joyous effort. But there are things I just never seem to move beyond. It’s like fighting the current or swimming at a rip. I just couldn’t get there with brunt force.

So that is my reason number 2.) stop pushing or trying too hard and get what I want in the way I want it, but rather I allow the perfect unfolding to come to me.

My specific example here is that I found myself stuck in a particular part of my second book - working title "Becoming a Goddess" and it has been affecting my schedule to complete the manuscript. I am at a place that I can say I am 9 out 10 parts finished, but I just have a problem with one particular chapter and I was not happy with what I’ve written so far. 

I follow a rather strict writing schedule and I am committed to writing every day. I did write but it wasn’t flowing and I wasn’t happy with my rigid effort. The worst is I am worried if it doesn’t “hurry up” my baby will come any minute and I will be “stuck” and unable to finish my manuscript. 

The Path of Least Resistant

It daunted on me that I have not been following the path of least resistant. In fact, I have been resisting, persisting and pushing so hard to get what I want. Part of me was still hard-wired to the belief that "you have to work really hard to get ahead or succeed". 

The more I want something to happen, especially in a certain way and specific time, I tend to get tighter in my control. That said, I also know first hand it is actually not about working harder but smarter, and there are times it is not that I am complacent, but it is just time to surrender to the universe and let the best outcome to unfold. I wrote about all that in my recent blog/podcast about surrender vs. trying harder. 

What happened after I surrendered was I got this idea or more accurately, I got reminded about the law of attraction and deliberate creation. I got to be at a higher vibration in order to attract what I really want. In this case, it is writing with ease and flow. I need to remind myself and practice the art of allowing. In all these years of writing blogs and now podcasts, I never have a problem with coming up with topics that I want to write about. The ideas just flow to me through books, news articles, other podcasts, conversations with others and even in my dreams. 

The Art of Allowing

I know the fastest way to raise my vibration and allow the flow of inspiration is to feel good.
