That's a healthy stomachache

It feels as though time has been caught up in a vacuum lately.  It's being sucked up awfully fast and I'm struggling to keep up with the days.  They seem to disappear before I've even really realised they're here.

And so the end of April is fast approaching, despite feeling like it's only just begun.  I think I can safely say that out of all the months so far, this has easily been the most successful in relation to my Secret project.  April is the Secret to Health, and I'm pleased to report that I'm feeling absolutely superb health-wise.

With the exception of a stomachache last night, I've had no health complaints to speak of so far this month.  Whether this is a sign that I'm on the right track with this month's project, or simply a tribute to my immune system, I still think this is quite an achievement.  Last night's stomachache can be entirely attributed to a pre-Easter overindulgence on Easter eggs and other assorted unhealthy foods.  I very quickly began telling myself I felt great, because I knew no one would believe me if I called in sick to work the day before a four day weekend.  Within a few hours I was feeling back to normal again.

Speaking of four day weekends, I'm now off to enjoy my holiday.  Have a happy Easter!

Knock knock, Penny?

Generally, at the end of the day i am so exhausted from work that I can barely even eat my dinner, let alone blog.  But today my boss shared his packet of jelly beans with me and right now I'm feeling rather energetic.  I'm dreading the moment when this sugar high wears off, so before that happens I'm going to use this energy to do something productive.  Like write a blog post.

So remember how I said I was trying to manifest something small, and I settled on a one cent coin because they're not very common and it's good luck and all that?  Well last weekend as I was adding April's Things to Achieve, I remembered that I was supposed to be focusing on manifesting my coin.  Somewhere in amongst the excitement of getting a new job, thinking about manifesting a coin must have completely slipped my mind.  I resolved to start focusing my thoughts on the coin again

About two hours later, my Mum was cleaning out an old desk drawer when she started laughing.  She said, "look what I found!" and put a small wooden box in front of me.  Inside was a collection of old New Zealand coins, including a one cent coin.

Sceptics might say it doesn't count because I didn't find it myself, but I'm counting it as a win.  After all, I had just been thinking about it, and according to The Secret, you have no control over how the things you want will manifest.  You let the Universe know what it is that you want, and then it's up to the Universe how it will get it to you.

So manifesting something small = achieved.  Now it's on to the bigger things.

Healthy thoughts, healthy me!

Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto studied the effects of positive and negative energies on water crystals.  The water crystals were subjected to either positive or negative written words, spoken words, and music.  Dr. Emoto’s results showed a very clear difference in the health of the crystals which had been subjected to the negative energy, in comparison with the ones receiving the positive energy.  The water crystals receiving positive energies grew in bright, colourful snowflake patterns, where as the crystals receiving the negative energies were dull and grew in incomplete asymmetrical patterns.

The human body is made up of three-quarters water.  These results show us exactly what effects negative energy can have on our health and reflect what The Secret states about the correlation between our thoughts and our physical well-being.  According to The Secret, illness and disease come directly from our negative thoughts.  As Bob Proctor states, “disease cannot live in a body that’s in a healthy emotional state.”

I found The Secret to Health to be a particularly interesting chapter in The Secret.  There were plenty of real life stories from people who had overcome some pretty serious health issues.  By far the most interesting is the story about Morris Goodman, who was paralysed after a plane crash, and told by doctors that he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life.  This accident occurred in March 1981, and by Christmas that year Morris Goodman walked out of the hospital under his own power.

After his accident, Morris Goodman was left unable to move, eat or drink, or breathe without a respirator.  The only thing he had left was his mind, and through his persistent positive thoughts and visions of recovery, he was able to cure what the doctors believed to be incurable.

According to The Secret, happiness is all it takes to stay healthy.  Laughter, love, and gratitude can help conquer any sickness or disease.  And on that note, I’ve added a few new Things to Achieve to help me stay healthy.  Without even realising it, these are all things I’ve been doing for years.  Like most people, I absolutely hate being sick.  Whenever anybody gets sick, I think ‘healthy thoughts’ in an attempt to prevent myself from getting sick.  Generally this works, so it’s nice to know that I’ve been on the right track with something from The Secret.

Secretly, I'm going to be healthy in April

It’s April, which means I’ve now moved on to The Secret to Health.  In a few days time I’ll be adding a new bunch of things to my Things to Achieve list.  It’s probably good timing too because this new job of mine is making me exhausted, and when I get run-down the viruses start checking into the Megan Hotel. 

If I had to give an evaluation of how I thought last month went in regards to The Secret to Relationships, I’d have to say that the only noticeable difference is that I’m now somewhat politer around people than I was before.  I’ve caught myself, on more than one occasion, saying “oh my goodness”.  Goodness.  It’s not ‘oh my god’, or even ‘oh my gosh’, it’s oh my goodness.  It’s like my vocabulary has aged about 60 years.

Whether this has anything to do with my attempts to think only good things about people, I can’t honestly say.  But regardless of what has caused it, I find it more than amusing.

There’s one final thing I want to share today.  From the beginning of this project I’ve signed up to the Secret Scrolls on the official Secret website.  This is basically an email mailing list that Rhonda Byrne uses to send out little snippets of Secret wisdom.  I received one last week which I thought was particularly relevant:

From The Secret Daily Teachings

If there was a particular house you wanted, or a particular relationship or job you wanted, and you didn't get it, the Universe is telling you that it was not good enough and did not match your dream. It is also telling you that it has something BETTER and more worthy of you.

Something better is coming . . . you're allowed to be excited!
