Do
you like shopping? I live in a place where we have more shops per
person than anywhere else in the world - Australia's Gold Coast, and
yet I rarely go shopping.
Why is this?
Two reasons.
Reason
One: I spent most of my life in a small town in Outback Australia
where many things were just not available to buy. We had three choices:
Go without, Travel 500 km to the nearest large town, or wait for the
annual holidays and have a big shopping spree when we reached a city.
Reason
two: Shopping Centres can be de-energizing. Thousands of
people visit every day and bring their problems along with them. Apart
from physically imposing their moods on you, if you are spiritually
aware you may pick up their energy. Become aware of how your energy
feels when you are shopping, and notice the energy you pick up from
different shopping centres and at different times of the day. If it
is not a busy time the energy may seem more clear.
You
can choose which shops you go to and at what time of the day. You
can also choose to let others people's energy flow past you, or consciously
let it go. Once you are aware, you won't have to take on unwanted
negative energy.
Spread
your own energy around the shopping centres. Greet the shop assistants
and your fellow shoppers cheerfully and with a smile. Expand their
energy as well as your own and shopping will become a pleasure.
Manniquins For Sale - Your Passion a Natural Energy Booster
Ebay
has demonstrated just how much people enjoy auctions. In fact they
find them downright energizing.
When I was a child we went to neighborhood auctions and bought useful
or unusual items. My dad was a handyman and an inventor so he was
always looking for something to convert into something else.
But
one of his most unusual auction purchases was a dozen homing pigeons.
Dad built a pigeon coop and set about teaching the birds how to fly
home. He never quite mastered the art and the pigeons were slow learners
so the novelty soon wore off and he moved on to other things.
The
subject of auctions came up when I was at a friend’s social
gathering where one of the guests was an auctioneer.
My
friend Glenda related a story about how she had once purchase, for just
two hundred dollars, a batch of store mannequins and their spare body
parts. She and her son assembled as many of the mannequins as they
could and had fun arranging them in the backyard, draped on the garden
furniture and lounging on the lawn. Glenda
didn’t really know how she was going to sell the mannequins but miraculously she received a phone call from a lady from Rarotonga (NZ) who had heard about them and was keen to buy. She purchased the lot for two thousand dollars giving Glenda a sizeable profit on her risky quirky investment.
The
process of turning pre-loved items into cash can be totally energizing.
Energy is all around us, and within us.
Life is Energy and Energy is life.

'Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.'
'If you can't do what you love, love what you are doing.'This might sound like a riddle, but it's really a fundamental secret to being energized. It all comes down to choice. We can choose to enjoy, or choose to endure. And if we find ourselves simply enduring something we can choose to change it. We live in a free country - A 'Lucky Country' if you live in Australia.
Jim Rohn said:
'If you don't like where you are, change it! You're not a tree.'
What are you choosing? Are you staying in a job, a relationship, or a home because you are afraid of what you will lose if you change any of them? Just turn it around and think of what you may be losing or missing by not changing.
The only criterion for choosing something is, 'Does it energize me? or Does it de-energize me?'
Do a check of your life, and discover the things in it that de-energize you. Reduce them, or dispense with them altogether.
Then look for all the things that energize you. Add them into your life, or if they are there already, do more.
