[QUOTE="Fran, post: 147889, member: 3"] "Claiming your life" in order to receive it - being thankful - and joy will come your way, etc. It is just as I start to do these things, I get sidetracked, or bored, or maybe I just don't believe it enough. You see people's testimonies on Oprah all day, that they simply believed their bills were cash, and walla, they were! Really? Occupational Therapist (OT) they simply wrote down the characteristics of their future husband, and walla, there they were! Hmmmm." Sorry I don't watch those shows and no way do I believe miracles happen. I'm not a believer in magic. I don't think being thankful makes joy come your way but realizing what you have will make you see the joy that is there. Maybe writing charteristics just brings them to the forefront so you notice them in a gentlemen you just met but Prince Charming never just appears. I never even heard of that sort of thing. I don't think this is a passive exercise. You don't write and sit waiting for it to infuse into you. You have to search for it and recognize it when it happens. I think the writing just like the characteristics makes you aware of these good things. If you get bored then I doubt any of these have any relevance for you. It's about you finding a way to make yourself feel good, or whole or happy. Everyone seems to use different terminology. I think each of us shared with what works for us. You may have to find your own way. Something that has meaning to you. [/QUOTE]
