Casting
Your Vibrational VoteThe fact that my boyfriend doesn't vote - at all - ever - not even in
this historic election - is very contrary to what I learned from both
my veteran father and my colleagues in political research.
Voting is simply what we do, isn't it? I was shocked to learn my
sweetie doesn't exercise that privilege!
Shocked not only that he doesn't vote, but that he ADMITS it! To his
blogging girlfriend! Isn't that reason enough to vote?
But I got off my high horse about it when I realized I
might not be using my own vote as powerfully as I thought.
Because there's a difference - sometimes a big difference - between
the vote that goes on the ballot and the one logged by Universe.
For example, I've been to the polls before not so much to cast a ballot in
favor of one candidate or issue, as in opposition to
another.
Ever done that?
If so, and if you're law of attraction-savvy, you know you actually added
power to the very candidate or position you were against. That's how
it works. (That "resist, persist" thing again.)
We're well trained in our deliberate creation studies to focus on what we
want instead of what we don't want, but I can't say I always practiced that
in the voting booth!
Which is why I realize my sweetie may have offered a more positive
contribution with his complacent absence at the polls than I have
by doggedly casting a strongly-opinioned vote.
That's not to say I recommend abstinence from voting, but I HIGHLY recommend
we - okay ME - be more aware of how we cast our vibrational vote.
Which is what matters anyway - the vibration!
If I march out on November 4th to vote against what I perceive as reckless
and dangerous leadership, I actually add energy to the very thing
(or candidate) I don't want. On the other hand, when I cast
my ballot in favor of what I see as a step in the right direction, I help
create that outcome. 'Cause I get what I vibrate.
Make sense?
So not just this election day - but every day - ensure you direct
thoughts in a way that supports what you want, which simply means
focusing on it rather than its opposite.
Although I know some politicians give us great material for getting derailed on that, consider it good practice to get even more deliberate in how we cast our vibrational vote.
