I hope you all have been enjoying the photo montage! It's been fun to look through them again.
Today was a pretty normal Sunday. I went to church again and this time with my mom and an old friend of hers. I woke up late due to the time change and not being in the habit of setting an alarm for an 11 o'clock service. Today's sermon was very cool and helpful as always. The reverend spoke about the 7 keys to prosperity. First he repeated this list a couple times: Your Magnetism, Your Choice, Your Power, Your Willingness, Your Adjustments, Your Flow, Your Pulse. The first thing to do is accept the role you play in everything that has manifested in your life. The good and the bad. And part of this involves realizing that even the bad is essential here in creating the road-map to prosperity because it shows you where you don't want to be and enables you to envision where you'd rather be. You are meant to be a magnet for prosperity but you have to choose to release your "hypnotic fixation of victim-hood". And this hits point two, your choice. In order to stop manifesting negative experiences, you have to choose to let go of all the reasons in your conscious and subconscious mind that make you feel undeserving of prosperity. To help you do this, you need to embrace your power; the power to change our external world for the better. Part four and five are your willingness and your adjustments. You've made a choice, but now we need to follow through in order to show that we made that choice with a purpose in mind and then make adjustments as our circumstances change. And the last two have to do with staying in a meditative state. They are: your flow and your pulse. The flow is literally about going with the flow and our pulse is about our actions while in the flow, what we say to people, what we do, how we act.
The reverend also mentioned how Trump is a manifestation of our egos; he's the part of us that feels scared, hurt and angry, that feels like a victim who is always vulnerable. He's here as a way to force us to face those parts of ourselves that we want always to remain in shadow.
And now for the more boring half of my day...
I'm convinced that going to church before work helps me get into the right head space. Last Sunday I finished 15 minutes early, yesterday, I had taken 12 hours to do my prep list and today, I was able to leave just half an hour late. Saturdays have been terrible work days for me while Sundays are much more bearable. I still get back pain from standing the whole time, but it's always better to have 6 and a half hours of work than 12. Plus, of those hours I clocked yesterday, only 8 were scheduled. I worked from 6 to 6, when I was supposed to be able to leave by 2. The good news about all this is that I ended last week with 30 hours instead of 26.
Tomorrow and Tuesday are my weekend and after that, I'm coming into work at 9 AM. Lately it been 7-2 Wednesday through Friday but since I no longer need to be trained in prep work, I can come in at 9 for the dining room. At least, that's my best guess. I don't know why else they would let me come in that late. I feel lucky that right after the time change, I get to sleep in a little for work. I just hope they can let me stay til 4 since 6 hour days are not really long enough for me.
