Wouldn’t it be nice if………….
ByIn Process #12 of “Ask and It is Given”, Abraham talks through Esther Hicks of a way to turn something around to a more positive feeling, if you are leaning towards the negative, and feeling some resistance.
He says “When you say, ‘I want this thing to happen that hasn’t happened yet,’ you are not only activating the vibration of your desire, you are also activating a vibration of the absence of your desire – so nothing changes for you. And often, even when you do not speak the second part of the sentence and you say only, ‘I want this to happen,’ there is an unspoken vibration within you that continues to hold you in a state of not allowing our desire.”
He then talks about playing around with things that seem a bit out our reach by coming up with “Wouldn’t it be nice if…………….” sentences. I LOVE this, and find it really helpful, if I am feeling stuck in some way. It has an almost instant affect of lighten up my vibration around things, and opening up a much greater feeling of possibility.
I was inspired to write this post today, because I’m just back from driving my lovely niece to her first Junior Certificate Exam. There are two weeks of exams for 16 and 18 years olds in Ireland now, and people can get very stressed! My niece doesn’t really enjoy school and that kind of study much, and wasn’t feeling great about going into the exams – she’s much rather be surfing!! So in the car on the way in we played WOULDN’T IT BE NICE IF………….
We came up with some great ones and were laughing having a great time on the journey, so of course, she felt much better going into the exam.
Here are some of the ones we came up with:
Wouldn’t it be nice if:
- the weather was dull on the exam days and sunny at the weekends
- if I enjoyed my exams a bit (my suggestion)
- if I enjoyed them a lot!!! (her suggestion)
- if the questions were just the ones I wanted
- I could easily remember everything I know
- if the time went by really quickly
- if I did better than I thought I could
- if my revision went really well this afternoon, and I could surf for an hour tonight
- If every time I felt stuck on a question, I asked God for help and remembered the answer
and more.
Abraham gives suggestions like
“Would it be nice if I stumbled across something that really worked for me.”
“Would it be nice if I looked like I did in this picture.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if I discovered this to be much easier than its been before.”
Play around with it and see how you get on, and if you can feel the difference it makes to your vibrational level. Let us know some of your great – “Wouldn’t it be nice ifs…….”
Great post Christine! Thanks to you, I am almost finished reading Ask and it is Given, and I have been using “What if”..frequently….it does change the vibration!!
