The Joy of Manifesting Life - Working Through Obstacles

I'm on week 9 of my manifesting wellness program and I feel as though I hit a brick wall a couple of weeks ago. It's been quite difficult staying focused on my personal plans when so much has been going on with other people in my life and I'm not talking about silly stuff. It's been one big drama after another and a lot of bad news.

I swear there has to be something in the air. Almost everyone I've spoken to lately has had some crazy crap happening in their life. Things that are throwing them off course and/or completely stopping them in their tracks. It's been absolutely insane! My friend Amy made a comment that mercury has been retrograding for 8 weeks, as a joke. So it's not just me who has noticed.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's start over time for me and the wellness program. My computer flipped out on me and I had to upgrade my Windows program from Vista to Windows 7. I can still access some of my old files, but I'm starting to think that I shouldn't. It's funny though, I go through this computer crap every few years. It's as though Spirit is telling me that it's time to upgrade my life again. Gee, what a surprise! Here's the thing though. I started this program TO upgrade my life. I'm sick of being treated like an idiot by Spirit so I sent a mental email to them today...

Dear Spirit,
I'm smarter than a 5th grader, I'm really used to transition and I can hear you! It would be nice if you could refrain from knocking me on my ass while delivering your messages. They have been the same every year since I was 6 years old. I understand that it takes some people time to be aware and to connect with you, but I'm not one of them. Oh, and could you be nice to my family and friends as well? Thanks!

I don't think that's going to work, but it was worth a try!

We all have obstacles to work through in life and if we didn't have them, we wouldn't be able to reap any rewards or appreciate the small victories along the way. With that said, I think my theme for this week is starting over. I'm going to focus on letting go of my old programming and expectations then let the Universe guide me to my next step. After I accomplish that, I will use what comes to me and start manifesting new things for myself.
