Start Over Monday

I wanted to start my Monday, and my work week with some nice consistent meditation to anchor positive higher vibrations and make sure I integrate the lessons I have learned from the last 3 days. So many lessons. But really what I settled on was that the one guarantee that would uplevel my vibration was thinking of my son. Thinking of Johnnie. See the pic I posted on this paragraph. THAT raises my vibration. THAT puts a smile on my face, a twinkle in my eye, and a lightness in my heart. This morning I strived to make sure I anchored ACCEPTANCE and FORGIVENESS just like I said I would and also made sure I mentally created an energetic force field to protect me from negative energy.  And when I realized that tension was bubbling up in my awareness and manifesting as tightness in my upper back and my jaw I did those breathing exercises that exhaled out whatever thoughtform that was connected to the tension I felt. It seemed to do the trick actually. I mean the difference was that the breathwork I did came from my deep diaphragm. So deep that it did feel like I was flushing nitric oxide just like those nitric oxide exercises did. And the upside was that it seemed to work on my tension almost immediately! Not only did it relieve tension but it brought up thoughtforms I knew immediately I had to release. We'll see what happens the rest of the day. The point of interest today is that Lisa has her appointment with her tax accountant later and she is anxious to see how much money she owes if any. I'm interested only in that all the money she got back earlier in the year also came in my name and therefore I need to know how I'm affected as well before I can do my taxes myself. More financial stuff. More stuff with an emotional tie-in to Lisa. I sent her thoughts wishing her the best possible outcome for the both of us. And then tried to maintain my the positive energy I felt I was able to anchor on this morning. This being a Monday and all I also needed to reset for the week and see where the priorities are at work. Today it was simple. Field calls regarding the G Drive. Make sure we're ok with the power outage yesterday which seemed to have blown up a couple of switches that now need to be replaced. All in all by mid-day it wasn't as bad as I thought, even when the Internet at Bresee went down (again?!!). I felt we were still pretty much ok.

I got all the way to driving home to work, still anchored in mostly positive energy. I realize now that "gatekeeping for one's mind and one's thoughts" is a constant, ongoing thing. That isn't anything new, just not easy to do consistently. THAT is what takes effort to create and maintain a "Practice".  It's no wonder our physical bodies suffer so much from all that accumulated emotional and mental grit of the day-to-day. I was almost all the way home when I got a phone call from Lisa. She was on her way back from her tax appointment but won't get to Johnnie by 5:30 even. I had left work a little later than usual and I was already near Johnnie's school by 5:05. And so I picked him up, all decked out in his pajama gear for pajama day. I remember pajama day last year at Blue Oak. This was just as cool, if not cooler. Look at my cute little son in the pic! I asked Lisa to pick him up at my apartment, and if she was so willing maybe we could even all go out to dinner. I suggested this because she seemed to be in a really good mood, which meant she got a positive outcome from her tax meeting. GREAT! Last year I remember we did get into another argument about finances and taxes and how she was fronting me all of the tax obligations. I went back to last year's entry and saw that I had written: "she is incapable of being nice to me"! LOL LOL  Just one more thing to forgive and let go. She actually agreed to go out to dinner tonight all 3 of us. And we ended up at the family favorite Oops restaurant. And we had a MUCH MUCH better discussion about her taxes than we did last year. She's getting a refund in fact. Which means I am too. And there are some tweaks I need to do with my taxes because some money is, in fact, in my name. But it should be credited to her. We ended up having a nice dinner. And then I asked to be dropped off for about an hour before I had to go right back to pick Johnnie up. I asked to do this simply to get my steps in. And so by the time I picked up Johnnie up at 7:40  he had fallen asleep. I knew this would happen. He had had a typically long weekend of activities and he had a really big dinner. Easily anticipated. I let him sleep but he actually woke up at 9 PM! I had to let him watch his usual spate of videos before he went back to sleep. And by then at 10 PM so did I. Still it turned out to be a pretty good day.
