Self Help Wisdom

Paul Piotrowski publishes a Self Help blog that I have been enjoying lately.

One of his recent posts is a favorite topic of mine: Moving!

Here's a sample:

When selecting your helpers for moving, give them enough notice. Don’t call them the night before to tell them you need help moving. People will appreciate it (and maybe even show up!) if you give them notice, so as soon as you know you’ll need someone’s help, let them know. Don’t procrastinate asking! Be warned that whoever you ask for help will probably ask you to help too when they move.

Also (and I could not agree too strongly):

Do NOT buy/use cheap packing tape to seal your boxes, unless you enjoy having your pinkie toe smashed by a book that fell out the bottom of box sealed with cheap packing tape. This is not the place to save money. Buy good quality packing tape. Invest in a tape gun or two if you don’t have one.

Another problem with cheap tape: it is ruled by static electricity and will cling back to the tape role. Meanwhile, you spend at least a minute finding the end and trying to pull it apart again. Argh!

But it's not all fun tips about moving... There are some great posts about the Law of Attraction as well.

Here's one I love:

It is, by far, better to set multiple intentions at the same time when using the Law of Attraction! I have tested this with personal experience. Let me explain why I think it works this way and a few things to watch out for...

Read more... it's important! In fact, I've integrated this philosophy over the last few days and it's been wonderfully helpful.

Also, Paul lets us in on a very important tool when using the Law of Attraction (but it's often overlooked):

I go through my day to day with my 30-60 intentions (or more) and I’m always aware of what’s going on around me. I look for co-incidences, and little 'winks' from the universe to point me in the right direction. I take inspired action without judging where it will get me.

So many people overlook the importance of listening and paying attention to intuition and signals from the universe. These signals, signs, and whispers are always around. Much of the art of using the Law of Attraction is to train ourselves to pay attention.

And, to emphasize Paul's point, "take inspired action without judging." Nothing in my experience gets the universe moving fast than when we respond to its signals quickly and confidently.

By the way, Paul will link to your blog if you review his blog. Nice! (I was planning to review his blog already, so it's a win-win!)
