Ok, so here I go…spilling out my secrets and guts to you all!
Below is an example of how I’ve used Abraham Hicks’ Journaling up the Emotional Scale process that I described in the last post.
Usually I hand write this in my journal, but for our purposes here, I’ll type it.
In this example, I’m going to stream type, so I will have many typos and the grammar will be incorrect. Some of my sentences may not make too much sense. That’s how it should be!
The situation:
I have 2 duplexes that I have as investments. A tenant just told us he’s moving out in two days. That means we need to start advertising and renting it out. Usually we ask for 30 days notice. And next month the tenant upstairs is moving out. (The Law of Attraction is at work here!)
Here’s my journal entry that I did to move up the emotional scale:
gosh, this is happening again. it seems everytime that i get in a comfortable spot about this apartment something goies on. now that we’ve just hired billy as the new prop manager i’m not sure how this transition will go of hiring a new person. i’m feeling a bit powerless. not totally wanting to give over the power to him but also not wanting to do this myself. i feel powerless too because that tenant didn’t even give notice and the other apartment is going to be vacant too next month. ahhh, i do have some fear. how will this mnths mortgage be paid if we don’t get someone in? will i have to come up with it on my own? i wanted this investment to be self sustaining and now here we go again.
i feel a bit insecure abotu my position with owning this property. now that i’ve moved away it is harder to manage. things are costing more since i have to hire more out rather than doing it myself.
i’m so jealous of those people who have great apartments that are easy to rent. or those people who are millionairs who don’t even need investments like this in the first place. i’m jealous of other neighborhoods. this house isn’t in the best neighborhood.
i hate having this house in the first place i hate this situation i get in more than i wanted to . i hate that this new prop manager is having me put the ad on craigslist. i am feeling a bit of rage abotu this whole thing. i hate this tenant for bailing out. i want to take some revenge on him. i want to keep his security deposit and not give a good refrenece if it’s needed since he just bailed.
i am angry about this whole thing. why can’t i just sit in my comfortable world and not have to deal with this mess. i’m angry that this new prop manager just couldn’t do it all on his own and i wouldn’t need to be involved. i’m angry that people arent’ nocking down our door to rent it.
i’m starting to feel a bit more discouraged. that feels a bit better. i feel discouraged abtou this whole process about having this investment. i want to be free of it.
i sort of blame my friend for getting me in this in the first place. i was so easy going and that’s my personality . i think i’m blaming her for getting me into this mess. and that last guy i was with, he said he’d help me but didn’t really and now we’re not together and here i am stuck with this by myself. i am worried a bit about getting it rented again.
i worry every time it becomes vacant. i feel worried now. what if noone calls from our ad? what if the apartment sits vacant and i need to tap into my money to pay the mortgage? what if what if?/
i doubt anyone would need to move in in 2 days. i doubt we could fill it that quickly this weekend. i doubt people wait until the last minute to rent. and would i even want someone who was last minute? what would that say abotu them? but i do want it to rent .
i’m dissapointed that this is happening. i really thought that last tenant was responsible, but she left and her ex is took over. that was disappointing to have her leave. it’s disappointing that he didn’t give noticee and now we have to rent it in such a short time. i’m allitle disappointed thatthis is happening tnmow that billy took over wouldn’t it have been good if the last prop manager was still involved. we had a system in place. now we have to do this new one.
it’s so overwhelming really to have to deal with all of this. i just want to work on my website and not have that investment int he front of my mind it was intended to be an investment not a cusiness. anyway, it is a littl overwhelming thinking of everything i’m doing and now to worry abotu that too. and having to constantly put those ads on.
just really frustrating. i feel furstrated. i am frustrated to haveto rent it again and have to hold this guys hand throught the prosess. i’m frustrated that i have other things going on reight now that are overwhelming too. why does it all come at onece? i’m irritatied about this whole thing.
i’m feeling pessimistic that we won’t get it rented. are there even good tenants left out there? i want to believe i can attract good onex but i’m feeling pessimistic about it. i’m feeling pessimistic abotu billy too. what if he doesn’t care as much as dan did? oh well, i htink it will work out
i’m actually getting and feeling bored with this whole thing. i’d rather do something else and focus on something els. i’m bored of worrying and i’m bored of having the place. i’m bored with the idea of it . actually that feels a little relief to just feel tire d and bore. it is sort of a relief
let’s see if i can get some contentment out of this. i feel content that i’m here nad not there. i’m content that he is really doing all the work and i’m just here doing some computere ads that are free. i’m content that i have money in that account which could cover the mortgage if we had to. i’m content to know that it will work out
actually i’m starting to get hopeful about this whole thing. i’m hopeful that we will find someone. i’m hopeful that we have that secruity deposit that we don’t have to give back since he broke the leas, so we can lean on that if we have to. i’m hopeful that we will get someone, because this does always rent rather easily.
when i think of it it really only takes abotu a week to rent this thing. it shows niely inside. it is in an area that is turning and they are building that new complex close by, so that will increase the value of this investment. i do know hat it ws a goodinvestment and if i just am patient it will prove out that way.
i’mv feeling optimistic abotu the whole thing. i know that it will turn out just fine. i know that billy is trustworthy and he has his own investments and knows just what to do.
in fact, maybe he’ll be better. mayb e it will be so smooth that there’s no worries. maybe we’ll get a great teneant that will take great care of the place. i have really attracted great tenants in the past and they have all been amazing. this was just a fluke and maybe it will turn out better. heck, maybe we’ll make some money on this b/c we can keep the security deposit. i feel a positive expectation here that this will be ok.
wouldn’t it be nice to rent it right away and make that extra money? wouldn’t it be fun if the next tenants wanted to take care of the lawn and do extra stuff to improve the look of the place. gosh, who could we get int ere? it is endless. maybe it’s even someone who knows this law of attraction stuff. wouldn’t that be fun? to attract an amazing tenant who’s on the same wavelengthe. i’m kind of eager to see who we get
maybe i’ll attract a tenant that wants to stay there for many years. maybe they will love it so much they will eventually want to buy it. that could be exciting. ooohhh, i’m feeling so much better now about this whole thing. a passion, really. it’s amazing that i have been able to talk myself into this new feeling. i know this law of attraction techniques works. i’ve used this law of attraction technique so many times it’s amazing. my fingers are getting a bit tired of typong so i want to stop, but i’m so thrilled and eager to see who we get in the apartment!! what a sense of freedom!
So…
this is journaling up the scale…RAW! I highly recommend it and suggest you write it by hand…save those typing fingers!!
This moving up the emotional scale took about a half hour to do, which was well worth the time considering how better I feel.
And I expect, from experience of using these law of attraction techniques, to hear from Billy. He will have good news about someone that is excited to rent it.
Often times while I’m writing in my journal I will write over what I’ve written. There are some parts like revenge and hatred that I’d rather not have others read if they were to find my journal! Or you could, “burn after reading.”
I know that it’s good to get those thoughts out of my head and it’s all part of moving up the emotional scale. They don’t mean any harm. The point is to move through them and not get stuck in them.
Imagine if the suicide bombers or the Columbine kids knew these Law of Attraction Techniques? Think of the possibilities of people accessing their emotional freedom.
What a peaceful world we could live in.
I really want to know what you think of all of this. Have you used this process? Do you have any others to recommend to us? Leave a comment below…
