Analysis Paralysis

It’s easy to let the mind go into analysis paralysis when confronted with a situation that you have no clue how you’re going to handle it. It’s not our job to handle it. Our job is to declare to the Universe what we want and it delivers.

I’ve asked this question before about this to some of the ‘Manifestors’ that I respect and admire.

“What if I don’t get it? What if it doesn’t come when I need it?”

What they have told me, which I am passing on to you, as well as listening to it myself, is this….

The only reason the Universe doesn’t deliver is because you really don’t believe deep down inside that it will. The people that make millions of dollars just ‘know’ that it is there. There are no questions. It just is.

So, we need to come from the place that it is already there. Like riding a bike. You don’t get on the bike each time and say, “Oh Boy. I hope I can ride it this time. What if my balance doesn’t work? What if… What if…. What if…”. This is analysis paralysis.

Just know, like you know that when you get on that bike that it ‘just is’.

Keep Breathing,

I Want

This morning while meditating I was concentrating on what I want. And then, I remember the teachings from Summit Education that I was taught about wanting.

I get conflicting stories because Abraham says it’s good to want. I guess its how you classify the word want.

‘Wanting’ something is telling the Universe that you don’t have something. When you come from a place of already having it, envisioning it to already be there or coming to you. That it is coming to you when it is time for it to come to you. You are not putting out that desperation on ‘want’.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Be. Do. Have.

How is your meditation going? And your journaling?

Namaste,
D

 

My Morning Mantra

The Mantra for today will be,

I will follow my heart. I will love myself. I will see myself. I will be myself.
We are (as a society) surrounded with a lot of ‘shoulds’ in comparison to others, only to find that those people who we look at who somehow got it ‘right’ were only faking it in the first place. There wasn’t a rulebook that told them this is the correct path to follow. They made their own road.

What if the new path you decide to take, because you are following your heart, leads you to something you never even thought of? The road you are following now? Does that make you feel safe? Does that give you comfort to know where your life is heading? Or does that leave you wondering and longing for something different?

I’m not a perfect being by any measure. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I have made a fool of myself in my small community here on Facebook, Twitter, and in the ‘real’ world more than once. You’ve seen me go from relationship to relationship, band to band, state to state, etc. In my own defense (and I’m only defending myself for sake of this blog); I love completely and unabashedly. I look at everything and everyone as something new and magical. I don’t look at the past to compare because I know if I do I will close this heart of mine. I just can’t do that. My hope is that in your own way you love just as much and with as much zest as you can muster and that you can push it a little more each time. Sure, you’ll get hurt. But the next time you’ll have a little more clarity and there will be a little more growth. And then you’ll be like those people that you ‘should’ be like and making it up for yourself.

Here are a few tools to use on your new path.

Write 3 pages every morning. Don’t think. Just write. If you’re only writing ‘blah blah blah’ or ‘I have no idea what to write’, at least you are writing. Trust me. Something will eventually start flowing. Don’t look for it. Don’t wait for it. Just do it.

Meditate for 10 minutes in the morning to start. Clear your mind. Close your eyes. If you want more direction in this I recommend a course on meditation. I’ve done a couple. The one that I HIGHLY recommend is with a friend and mentor of mine, Julie Zipper.

Kill Ritual Band

Lead Guitarist Steve Rice comments, “Simple, raw and in your face like the song itself, what better way to introduce fans to the world of Kill Ritual than with a bunch of long hair sweaty thrasher in jeans and t-shirts kicking it out! Like the lyric says “And Now I’m Metal Tonight!”

KILL RITUAL Signs With SCARLET RECORDS

San Francisco Bay Area thrashers KILL RITUAL have inked a worldwide deal with Scarlet Records. The band’s debut album, “The Serpentine Ritual”, will be released on October 30. The CD was recorded and engineered by KILL RITUAL lead guitarist Steve Rice at Fang Studios in San Mateo, California and Fossil Sound in San Jose, California. The mix and the mastering were handled by Andy La Rocque of KING DIAMOND fame at his Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden. La Rocque also makes a guest appearance on the CD with the ending solo on the track “Coat Of Blood”.

KILL RITUAL recently filmed a video for the first single, “Old School Thrasher”, on July 13 at Soundwave Studios in Oakland, California. Mike Sloat (MACHINE HEAD, TESTAMENT) is handling the production, directing and editing.

The “The Serpentine Ritual” cover art was designed by Jobert Mello for Sledgehammer Graffix (SABATON, PRIMAL FEAR).

Commented Rice: “Well, the KILL RITUAL debut will at last see the light of day and we are psyched to have Scarlet Records on board for the release of the CD. The label has a ton of great bands on their roster and excellent distribution worldwide, so we can reach as many metal maniacs as possible. Get ready for some San Francisco Bay Area thrash and roll!”
