Vitamin D3 Absorbsion

I was watching this video from Dr. Mercola and I took his advice and noticed a REAL difference in my skin.

In this video he talks about HOW your skin absorbs vitamin D3 from the sun and how sunlight filtered through window glass actually prevents you from absorbing vitamin D.

He recommends you shower less because your skin needs 24 to 48 hours to absorb the D after sun exposure. I started only washing my whole body every other day. My skin hasn't erupted in acne since I stopped washing it so much!

Jealousy and Joy

As a child I was taught that one of the ten commandments was:
Exodus 20:17
You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

I always wondered, "How can I know what I want if I don't see it somewhere else first and decide I want it?"

Today, I had a lesson in this concept of old.

This morning I found out that my friend K and her husband sold their house. It's a house they bought cheap, remodeled BIG TIME and have had up for sale for a while now. We also have a house like that. Our first home we bought dirt cheap, remodeled BIG TIME and refinanced. Then we used the $$ for the down payment on our current home in order to lock in a ridiculously low interest rate.

Our old house has been for sale for over a year now. I'm relaxed in the idea that, when the right person comes along, the house will sell. I'm in no hurry, but I'd like to pull it off the bill roster.

It suddenly occurred to me today, seemingly out of nowhere, that a few years ago, hearing that their house had sold when mine hadn't would've down right pissed me off. I'd have been angry and most likely acted out in some kind of passive aggressive way.

But that's not the case now. It didn't even occur to me to have those thoughts. I was immediately THRILLED for them and became their cheering section from my laptop as I was reading the email. I am excited for them. I wish them so much more happiness than I can express! I'm so grateful to be at this point in my life.

Being happy for the accomplishments of others and wishing them the same blessings you seek for yourself is the key to having anything you want. You see what you want.... but you know that just because THEY have it doesn't mean you can't have it too!!

I still have knee jerk reaction sometimes, but they're sure a lot less than they used to be. It's funny how ALL of your thinking changes when you take on an abundant mindset. Abundance is everywhere and available to everyone! Someone else vibrating in harmony with and attracting their own abundance does not now and will never, EVER mean there's now not enough for you! There's a never ending supply of abundance. Never ending!!! God has no limits. God/The Universe is boundless abundance. No one can ever get your share but you baby!!

I have to stop myself in mid reaction and remind myself of what I know to be true. I'm happy that I can recognize my "sins" (missing of the point) as they happen now instead of going back in my mind and realizing too late. But it's never really too late. If you can identify it, even if it's late, you make it more likely to be caught sooner next time!

Do you get knee jerk jealousy? What do you do to kick the Jealousy Monster?

Telling a Better Story vs Accepting What Is

The other day, Ash and I were talking about the difference between;

1. Accepting where you currently ARE in life in order to turn in the direction of your desired intent.

And

2. Constantly telling the story the way you WANT it to be in order to turn things around by maintaining your good vibes.

There's a big difference between those two approaches and if you're thinking that one is the way to go while the other is just a bad idea, you're right. But are you sure you know which way will get you where you want to be?

Many of the current day gurus like Abraham-Hicks and Dr. Wayne Dyer tell us to ignore what IS and focus on telling the story of what we WANT in our lives. I believe many people CAN'T do this because they feel like they're lying and many people fail with this approach because they ARE lying.

You can't lie to yourself. You already know the truth as you see it. You can't SEE your truth and deny it's there and lie to yourself. You can lie to EVERYONE else if you want to, but your subconscious is way too quick for that.

"But if I admit what's wrong with my life, I'll get more of it and that's not what I want."

The Universe is like an all knowing GPS device. There you are in your car driving down a highway going in the wrong direction. You want directions from your GPS system to get turned around and on a different highway. First, disable the tracking in your car so the GPS doesn't know where you are currently located. Then tell it what highway you want to be on, and affirm that you're already ON that highway with everything you say.

That would SO not get you anywhere good.

You need to say "I AM HERE!" and then say "I WANT TO BE THERE!"

It's not admitting what IS that holds you back from where you want to be. The thing that holds you back is your strong FEELINGS about what IS.

The balance is accepting what currently IS with as much surrender as you can muster. After all, why resist the current moment? The current moment already IS. Resistance implies you can change it by denial.

Surrendering to the current situation doesn't mean admitting defeat either. It simply means that you say, "Okay... This is what's happening now." Then you put your focus on your desired outcome and say, "Where do I go from here?"

You'll be guided. All you have to do it stay awake! Asking the Universe things like "Where do I go from here?" can unleash a mild trickle or a flood. It really depends on how relaxed and happy you stay and your level of faith. You must have faith. Know that you're deserving of what you want and that the Universe is sending you signs always.

Remember, no athlete ever got stronger by denying that they had a weakened area. No addict ever recovered by denying the existence of their addiction.

It's truly imperative to know where you currently stand in order to move in the direction you want to move it.
