Be aware of your awareness

Happy Holidays everyone! My how busy, busy, busy it's been, and I'm finally able to do some writing! I've gone through a lot of vibrational summersaulting these past few weeks with people and circumstances, it's so damn easy to get side-tracked during these holidays when working with reality creation. I remember in my early youth how much I cherished the holiday season, carefree, full of joy and anticipation, all the food and sweets, and oh yes, the presents that came as the icing on the proverbial holiday cake, ALL the things the holiday season represented. Now at 50, I'll resort to coping mechanisms in the form of food and lots of drink, part of me will still enjoy the holidays, yet another part of me wants them done and over with. For the past four holiday seasons I've always expected something more, but unfortunately the circumstances have been less than desirable, it began to seem all that holiday magic with me had finally run it's course, why was this?, could it be because we grow out of all the excitement, and become more focused on the stress and the unwanted responsibilities of the holiday season?, what to buy for everyone, what to cook, unwanted relatives showing up, Black Fridays, spending budgets, and all the stress and anxieties people associate with the holiday season. Something has indeed changed and the commercialization of the holiday season has taken away the most important aspect of what the holidays really stand for, GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION. Now, more than ever, we must always be focused on desirable outcomes, the Universal laws of attraction are the same, but things have changed in the last few years, we now must remain in our higher vibrations more often than ever before, as ascension and higher consciousness is occurring on earth, the manifesting game has changed somewhat, and so we must be more constantly aware of what we are thinking and feeling if we want to manifest our desires, and the more we can accomplish this the faster we'll manifest what we want. During the holiday season, there seems to be more anxiety and stress than ever before, I've dealt with this myself, but I've discovered a working formula that helps me cope, GRATITUDE, [a good wine helps too! LOL] but gratitude seems to go hand in hand with Thanksgiving and Christmas because it propels you into those higher, feel good vibrations, bringing you more to feel good about via reality creation. A lot of people do this, and they feel good about the abundance they already have DESPITE their circumstances, I think a good reason people get cranky around the holidays is because they are focused on the ''not having'' and so they block all the abundance from coming to them by not appreciating what they already have! Holidays are not about getting, they're about giving, giving gratitude, for who and what you already have in the present, not the presents themselves. Gratitude is awareness on a much higher level, it sets you up for abundance, it seemed as a child I always got what I wanted on Christmas, but nowadays instead of getting what I want, I'll focus on and appreciate what I already have, and the Universe delivers surprising results, and in some cases after Christmas has passed. 2014 is closing, through awareness and appreciation of what we already have now during this holiday season sets us up for abundance in 2015, a new year means new possibilities, [raising wine glass] to the victor!
