For anybody who suddenly finds themselves waaaaaay out of alignment, I wanted to open this thread up for discussion.
This is not for practicing further misalignment, so no posting if you currently feel like crap, ok?! And I mean that in the absolute nicest of ways ๐
I'm actually hoping to hear everybody's go-to thoughts or strategies for when you have a panic attack/irrational/not-so-graceful moment. And we AAAAALLLLLL have those! ๐
I was trying to think of the things that I did when I was feeling really REALLY sad about my life. What helped me the most?
First and foremost I would just read and immerse myself in LOA books, and Abraham.
I listened to loads of Abe. That ALWAYS picked me up.
I did focus wheels and EFT.
Breathing deeply and using all of my senses helped to bring me into the now, which is always where we SHOULD be playing. Really trying to feel and hear and taste etc.. It slows down your capacity to think so negatively. Appreciating what you're doing in the moment is gold.
When it was sadness about my guy, I found that visualisation really helped me. I treated that time like "our" special time together, and it helped me feel close to him. I actually began to feel his energy after a while, so I didn't miss him as much. I felt like I'd already seen him after my visualisations!
I reminded myself repeatedly that what you are seeking also seeks you. So every time I would feel myself getting down, and missing him.. I would spin that right on its head and say "uh ohhhh, I'm feeling some nostalgia here.. somebody is totally YEARNING FOR ME RIGHT NOW!! If I'm thinking of him it's because he's thinking of meeeeee!! He misses me SO MUCH, YAAAAAY!!" That one ALWAYS made me smile. And later when we began communicating again, it was confirmed that yes, he was also thinking of me (sometimes an exact scenario of mine!) and missing me like crazy as well.
I'd love you to all contribute your ideas, or thoughts that you use to trigger a shift in vibration. Something that's a surefire way to get you out of your funk quickly. I love that this forum has grown into one of compassion and comraderie, where we can all help to lift each other up every day. Thanks in advance for your pearls of wisdom, and I love you all ๐๐

Well when I find myself in those situations, I pretty much do exactly what Cherished does lol.
My visualisations and RS have become so intense recently they could go on forever lol .
Music is very powerful to me so when I'm feeling abit low I get my fav tune on and it perks me up.
Gratitude for what I have now also helps alot.
One huge help iv found is this forum. . isn't it amazing to read some of your exact thoughts through another person . . Then the absolute rush of positivity from some people here tops up my vibration so fast !!
I try not to pay too much attention to signs and numbers because I honestly see them everyday but I'm wary of obsessing about them .
So really to sum up its visualisations, rs, gratitude, music and all you fantastic people xxxx

Hi
I love this When I am feeling out of alignment I steer my mind into think of all the advantages I have that I am so grateful for. ย It looks something like this: I start feeling sorry for myself, going down the rabbit hole of self pity, insecurity and doubt... and then I STOP and open my eyes to what is around me. I have a home, I have a car, I have food to eat, I have a healthy body, I have a beautiful mind, I have my feminine wisdom, I haveโฆ.etc. I start to think of all that I do have. I start to remember that people in this world are truly suffering, meaning they are not eating. Then I start to feel so abundant it brings me to tears. It makes me want to give back to this world and to be in service mode. Then all of the sudden I am feeling inspired again! I am feeling powerful again and I am feeling like I can have, do, be whatever I want again
Perspective is everything. Remembering who we are is everything. Oh yea, and lack does not exist unless we create it. So I choose to stop creating it and to start creating what I DO want.ย
Abraham always talks about how our emotions are our guidance system. If we are feeling good we are in alignment, when we are feeling bad it is just a tool to realize we are out of alignment. The truth is we are powerful and infinite creators. That truth feels good, so lets all aim to stay there

Whenever I'm down, I do the following to raise my vibration:
1) Read old emails that Veronica has sent me. They really help me focus and regain confidence and faith.
2) Eat really delicious food! I literally stuff my face with all of my favorite dishes and of course chocolate.
3) Go out for a walk and just admire and appreciate all the beauty around me
4) Read and listen to different loa material
5) Sleep
6) Write down everything that's going in my head and continue writing till I'm exhausted. Then after a while, I read what I wrote and understand that I'm just writing out my fears and it's not the truth
7) Talk to my parents and I feel so much better
8) Watch my favorite tv shows
9) Go the gym and just run as fast as I can
10) Listen to music
11) Look at pictures of my guy and I and realize that he's the reason why I found out about loa and I'm very thankful for that. And, he's worth changing my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs for
12) Look at myself in the mirror and tell myself that I'm super special and the universe loves me hence I have no reason to fear or doubt

I find great comfort in visualization ย when I need extreme nuturing ย I go into a dark room ย light a candle ย ย sit in a rocking chair ย ย and meditate for several minutes ย ย when I feel like I am ย floating ย I visualize for 15-20 ย minutes ย but I find comforting myself for ย a bit first when I am severely overwraught ย helps a lot ย ย
love what everyone else has to say! :~)
for me, when i'm home, i've started watching a lot of stand-up comedy recently so comics like john mulaney, aziz ansari and, at the moment, louis c.k. have really helped lighten my mood (they all have comedy specials on netflix which i HIGHLY recommend watching!) --- super super funny and mood-lifters for sure!
i also want to point out that in starting to be more positive and trying to watch my thoughts more, i've noticed how i don't react the same way to situations anymore (so momentum has definitely shifted!) like i might react instantly but i'll quickly step back, analyze in my mind, and try to realign my thoughts. as an example, this past summer i had a really bad case of hormonal acne that's left some scars on both my cheeks which are currently healing. the reason i bring this story up is that two months ago, i probably would've whined, cried and just bemoaned the scars, but last night, while i was feeling a little down about the red scars, i tried nudging myself to feel a little better and saying "it's okay" and not worrying too much. i ended up google "if acne scars go away" (lol) just to see some successes and one guy posted a before and after picture in which his scars, somewhat similar to mine, disappeared in two years so it was a nice manifestation and i felt a lot better and hopeful. now the reason i mention that is to just show how two months ago i would've been super upset about the scars, but last night i felt a slight "hey it'll be okay, this isn't so bad" and to me that's a huge difference and makes me happy and shows me that this journey is well-worth it! :~)
cherished, i remember one of your posts (well several actually haha) pointed out how to focus on something in the now that you can appreciate so when i'm feeling down, i try to find a dog, or a cute lil' baby, or something pretty like a tree or a mural that i can focus on even if for a bit to get my energy back up! also, in the past few weeks, i've had strangers smile at me and i smile back and it's such a nice and genuine feeling to have that interaction with someone you don't even know, just passing you on the street so that also lifts my spirits!
to add on that, just coming on this forum and reading everyone's replies makes a huge difference. i come on a few times a day and sometimes i'll re-read a forum member's post/reply because it feels great and just reading what they had to say makes me feel better!
i also think music is super effective and a great way to feel better, as are naps lmao those are wonderful and definitely visualizing, but not out of need or urgency, but out of "lemme just do this for fun and to feel better"

I forget which video (probably multiple ones), but Abraham discusses the virtues of going to all of the "disks". She says, "Isn't it kind of good to be on those lower disks, to see what they're like, so you can appreciate those higher ones more, so you can have that complete life experience and learn from it?" I always think that.
When I'm down I think, "I'm human and this is a very natural state to be in. I won't be in this forever, but while I'm here I might as well learn something from it." That doesn't mean wallow in it. LOA is all about gratitude, so I actually am THANKFUL for being in that low place, because I know that means I'm flowing to all the places on the vibrational spectrum. Kind of like a board game when you want to obtain ALL of the pieces. This is the game of life, and you're experiencing all of the disks. Isn't that cool?
Last night I got really down. I couldn't write or watch t.v. But I didn't come here and post. I just knew it would pass so I sat with it, listened to music and tried to distract myself. But I told myself it would all be alright and it was a GOOD thing I was feeling this way.

I have been telling myself my guy is on his way and saying things like he is at home while i am at work i am going to see him later. I tell myself I have my money. I am living my dream. That helps pick up my vibrations. I try to change my focusย

Basically, when I find myself out of alignment I don't do anything because if I try anything at that time, It makes me more sad and annoyed on my situation so If I can talk to my GOOD FRIENDS, I talk to them. Also, I feel I get few strong signs each time at exact moment when I find myself loosing faith somehow...So I get conscious and say to myself 'Okay Universe I got your message' and it feels to me like universe wants me to cheer up.
