Energy Tracks

Which Track Are You Playing Today?

When you wake up in the morning, you have a huge choice: what track you going to play? If it’s a Monday and you are less than thrilled with your job, chances are that the track you will be playing is the “Monday Blues.” Think about this for a minute, think about the way you feel when you pop that track into your consciousness.

Even if you are new to “energy awareness,” you have to admit that if you find yourself in that position playing the “Monday Blues” – that energy, those feelings are palpable and have a certain texture and resonance to them – and if you compare those feelings and that energy to something that obviously gives you pleasure – let’s say the expectations you have when you are just about to go out on a date with someone you really like, or the feelings, sensory awareness and energy when you are just about to chow down on some great barbecue or other favorite food…well you have to admit there is a marked difference.

So the challenge for all of us then becomes to be able to regulate, with our free will, the energy tracks that we want playing in our mind, in our consciousness; because whether we like it or not, those energy tracks are going to control, in one way or another, the actual experiences that we have.

Before we can really begin to do this, we must start becoming more aware of what kind of energy is dominating us at any particular time: Start to make associations that feel right for you and make sense, start to see what may trigger various energy tracks and then we can work on doing something to replace unwanted tracks.

When it comes to our personal finances(as well as our personal life) these energy tracks are absolutely critical. Let me set out a simple example of how this works. Think of the energy tracks that we find ourselves in during a typical day. For argument’s sake, let’s brake down this energy as follows:

A. Autopilot energy – Dominated by same old-same old behavior, often filled with lots of chatter, gossip and complaining. We are all familiar with this track.

B. Open to some chances – We begin to look around at our environment and see it with some freshness – we realize that there are ways that exist now that can actually change things and move forward.

C. Taking some chances – We actually put our toe in the water, or we leap in and make a big splash (your choice), we start the process of change.

D. Reflection on change – We see or feel some movement from our taking chances – In this energy track, we see or feel the tiniest bit of results from our efforts; we often marvel at this and ask ourselves: “Did I do that?”

In the coming days, experiment with the different “energy tracks” playing in your head, and see how they affect your actual experience. Begin to take chances; you are alive so make every moment count!
