A problem I encountered and overcame

[Akashic_Librarian]

Did anyone else who, upon deciding to attempt IM, hit an early roadblock in the form of not knowing what to actually Intend.

Now obviously I went through the standard things, money, love, a car but because I am 16 they don't hold that much importance to me. But I remembered I do Karate and I decided I will intend the thin, muscley, black-belt I want to be, and strangely it took the black-belt aspect of the health intention to make it powerful within me, now I just bubble with excitiment and anticipation for this black-belt.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, have you overcome it?

Also has anyone also realized they can't just intend general health, and wealth and love, did you find you needed something specific, like a trigger?

From my understanding, it's better to be specific about the results without being detailed about how the results come about.

Worry about the form, and the function will take care of itself.

yes. i made a post about this recently. i am indecisive as it is, and having endless possibilities makes me want to just stay where i am cause its a bit overwhelming to choose.

i read in another post to ask oneself 'what do i want to experience now?'. i guess that would be a helpful way to go about it, because then you wouldnt have to look through the entire universal catalogue each time, but only the part which you are intrested in for the moment.

Just to simplify things, don't worry about the "STUFF", as much fun as it is to think about.
Focus on your feelings. This is your built in guidance system. When you focus on course to your well-being you are feel good. When you focus on anything that is off course to your well being you feel bad.
Think of the things you are presently grateful for. Things you appreciate. Think of goodness, kindness, gentleness, generosity, compassion, tolerance, patience, love, joyfulness etc...All things soothing, and satisfying to the soul.
Like the movie said, "Energy flows where attention goes".
Choose to see the truth, Which is that there is more than enough of everything, for everybody. You will become immune to the virus of the lie, which is the mentality of lack. Don't worry about the How's, and just do and think, and notice those things that bring you joyfulness, and like the Bible teaches, "The rest will be added to you".

Oh, it is my recurring problem.

I am already very successful, in all the conventional ways of measuring success. Quite often I wonder what I should be doing next.

Okay, seriously speaking, I am not short of ideas. What I am short of is time. With LOA at work, my life is already packed with so many positive things everyday. So many positive things that I hardly have time to receive them.

Luckily I have identified the problem and am working on it.
