Monday MB Update (on Friday?) Tsk, tsk!

Yes, here is where I reveal all my sordid little secrets!  Ok, not really…as exciting as my life is, well that’s how lacking I am in secrets too 🙂  but on with the MB update shall we?

Now firstly I should say that this isn’t Monday of course…it’s Friday soon to be Saturday so I’ll be updating for the period 1st to 7th and then on Monday the 15th, I’ll update for the period of the 8th to the 14th. So, I’ll always update for the week that has just passed (of course).

Stress in, Stress out

I began my Mental Bank journal on the evening of February 1, 2010 and tracked my progress (or not) up to and including February 7th.  The following are my observations thus far:

• After a few pretty volatile weeks on the business partnership front (husband’s) some rationale has finally seeped in and although hubby isn’t all together comfortable with his new attitude of “I can’t care or I’ll go crazy” for now he seems to have a handle on his emotions and there is a little progress. My entry the evening of February 1 into my MB Journal read, “My husband is dealing effectively with his business partner”.
• My youngest and oldest daughters both went through some pretty tough times the past few months.  The youngest with a boyfriend and the oldest with financial struggles.  Although things seemed to be settling down a bit they weren’t quite out of the woods yet.  Then, my oldest daughter informed me that things were looking up, she and her partner were bringing in money as her partner had obtained a job that paid quite well.  My youngest daughter was able to bring herself to realize that she was in an emotionally abusive relationship and after freeing herself from it totally  knew there was a future ahead of her that held happiness.  My MB Journal read, “My daughters are happy and enjoying their lives.”
• We began to receive money unexpectedly in small portions but none the less it was coming in and from sources that we’d not expected them to arrive from.  My MB Journal read, “Money flows to us from many unexpected sources.”

Everything isn’t instantaneous

Not everything is an immediate manifestation by any means and that the above situations began to turn around in an apparently quick fashion, in reality some of them had been in movement for awhile (my husband’s business partner issue and my daughters situations) but during the week of the 1st to 7th movement seemed to take on more positive effects and released each of them from burdens that had been weighing them down greatly.

There is something to be said about this particular ritual, and it is a ritual…a nightly one that takes all of a few minutes to complete but one that in reality will have you actually hating it every so often (the actual journalese can be a pain especially if you are all cozy in bed and then realize oops didn’t do my journal! :)).  It’s the actual proof that when you open your mind and allow your sub-conscious to do what it knows is best for you, and you see those things which you have written in your journal coming to pass…it is difficult to condemn or doubt the effects that keeping a Mental Bank journal really has.

A tip for those interested in keeping your own journal

I recommend that you place your MB Journal on your pillow in the morning so that it is there in the evening and the only way you can avoid it is if you sleep on top of it!  It’s an amazing thing to keep, seriously and there is no doubt that your life can and will be better for it – one pebble at a time.

Monday, I have further developments that again correlate with my journal entries and continue to encourage me to keep paying attention not only to my MB Journal every night before retiring, but also to the events that transpire after doing so because both remind me to express gratitude for all that I have in my life and am receiving….and the circle continues.

Happy Valentine's Day to Each of You!

I’ll see you again on Monday evening, February 15th…until then, enjoy your weekend and especially your Valentine’s Day!!
