It's So hard

7:47 PM

My first problem was actually focusing while meditating/spend time with God. Now, I can't even find a time to do it.

I have only meditated twice this week. My goal was for everyday only for 10 min. Yet, I came nowhere close. I'm thankful for the 10 min that I did get in that is better than nothing.

It seems like there is so much preventing me from sitting down and focusing. I either have work to do, to sleepy, to busy doing this, or to busy doing that. I literally have to fight for time to focus in on God and meditate.

Recurring Questions

8:30 AM

How does a Christian, someone who is living their Highest truth/though (as in Conversations with God), or someone who's attracting all that is good (as in The Secret) live? On a moment by moment basis what are they thinking? With every action what is their motive? How do they feel?

An Unquiet Mind

8:06 AM

Meditation is hard. It's especially hard when you're trying to meditate while laying down in a sleeping-like position. Because you're too afraid your roommate will wake up to see you randomly criss-cross applesauce in the middle of the room chanting and thinks you're a nut case, which was my case this morning.

For awhile I was thinking, and not meditating, it doesn't matter what she thinks. This is about my mental health and I should get up to meditate properly. Nevertheless, I laid there trying to meditate.

Once I got over that problem, there was the situation of how I should meditate. At first I did the usual focus on your breath and quiet your mind technique. Yet, I thought it would be a good time to use the law of attraction; therefore, I started focusing on whatI want my life to be like and started to feel grateful for it. Then my mind went on a ramble and 30 seconds later I had to bring it back to the law of attraction, but there was another problem. I started to attract to much, in my opinion, which wouldn't bring about what I really wanted the most as soon as I wanted. So, after an odd number of minutes that I didn't keep track of, I gave up for the day.

I'm not going to give up entirely. I know the power one's mind can effect their life. A really good way to perfect that power is through meditation. If anything happens tomorrow, I'll let you know. XOXO

God, the neglected friend.

4:38 PM

Many people don’t know (much like the raw diet thing) that I’ve been trying to become more spiritual. I’ve tried meditating and praying more, but I never setup a habit. I still pray and meditate every once in awhile, but I’m nowhere near as close to God as I want to be

My religion/spirituality is my crutch. There is nothing that is truly concrete. People can be taken away from you in an instant. An unknown aneurism, a drunk driver, an allergic reaction can take somebody’s life in an instant. Jobs can be lost by saying two words. Tornados, hurricanes too much can alter our life in a second. Knowing that there is always someone I can turn to even if I just want to talk in any circumstance puts me at ease.

Like any good relationship, spending time with someone is how you grow close to them. When it comes to God, he is the neglected friend. I don’t spend that much time with him. Therefore the close relationship I want, is nearly non-existent. Though I hope to change that in the future.

I’m not used to this. I know he’s there, but trying to reach him is a different story. He isn’t tangible at all. If that was the case, I would just go over to chill at his house and things would be so much easier.

When it comes to the Divine spirit and the Universe, things are never easy. Uggh, Life.

Love,

why violet?

8:38 AM

When I was younger my momma told me stories all the time of how I was apart of some royal family and that I do not belong in Oklahoma. You would think I would have the best self-confidence in the world right, but no. Yet, I still believe every girl should know that she is worth that of a Queen. As a lovely reminder, I surround myself with violet and made it my favorite color.

Other meanings of the color violet:

In Holistic medicine the color violet represents the crown (for a Queen?) chakra and spirituality/ living in the now. This chakra links the individual to the universe.

Violet also means the color of good judgement, purpose, magic, and mystery.

Thursday's color is violet.

A pretty dang good color, huh?
