One of my clients wrote me saying, “Aside from little agitations, my mood is phenomenal using your techniques. I feel so high. What is that?”
I told her that this is her natural state. Ecstasy is what is under The Drunk Monkey’s bull sh**! When you learn to ignore The Drunk Monkey there is no more need to medicate or distract yourself cause you feel so good.

Yesterday I posted a thought about how positive people rarely deal with their negativity because they feel it will make them negative. I proposed that the problem with not dealing with the negativity that lurks below the surface is that it seeps out of you in ways that others can sense. You end up becoming a rose garden with a sewer underneath. I had some great comments on various social sites that I wanted to address.
Negativity is neutralized by becoming aware of its source. I define negativity as the resistance you have to what is so. Life is just lifing along and then you are resisting what ever it is doing. The past is simply a figment of your imagination that you are now resisting. The future is a hallucination you are having that you are resisting. People are just doing whatever they are doing and you are reacting to your opinion of what they are doing. It’s not what they are doing that bothers you, it is your opinion about what they are doing that is bothering you.
In a nutshell, your opinion is the source of your negativity. And where does this opinion come from? Your infinite wisdom? NO! The Drunk Monkey in your head!!!! All hail the great and wise Drunk Monkey. You have been conditioned like a dog to think that “this is the right way to pee! That is the right way to dress! Those are the right behaviors!” But all of that is just your parents or whoever raised you doing their best to get you ready for life. What you believe about the world is not the truth. What you believe is just conditioning. Today, just roll with life and watch negativity dissipate before your eyes.

Would you like to feel happy? Do you want to have more peace of mind? Then give up your opinion.
How you see the world makes no difference to anyone else. Everyone sees the world differently. Yet, opinions are the source of suffering and negativity. All negativity in your life can be sourced back to an opinion that you hold.
Here is a quote from one of my all time favorite books:
“With humility comes the willingness to stop trying to control or change other people or life situations or events ostensibly ‘for their own good’. To be a committed spiritual seeker, it is necessary to relinquish the desire to be ‘right’ or of imaginary value to society. In fact, nobody’s ego or belief systems are of any value to society at all. The world is neither good nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification because its appearance is only a projection of one’s own mind. No such world exists.” Dr. David Hawkins, Eye of the I, page 108
If you want to learn how to let go of all the crap in your head that stops you from living a life of happiness and peace then join me Wednesday June 17th for my next complementary webinar called Turn Your Life Around Now! Register Here

A friend on the internet writes, “I’ve watched your videos on manifesting and The Drunk Monkey and I’m wondering if there is a way to get my job back using your techniques. A group of people took revenge on me and got me fired. Can you help?”
You get what you focus on.
If you retaliate, you will bring more negativity upon yourself. Kids know it intuitively when they say, “I’m rubber, you are glue, what ever you say bounces off me, and sticks to you!”
The energy of retaliation is anger, hostility, revenge, and ultimately powerlessness. If you put that out, you will get it back and now you are really spiraling.
What is the Alternative?
Are you going to get the job back? Not likely. Remember that when one door closes, another opens. Everything happens for a reason. What you want is trying to get into your life. If you honor that your back-stabbing work mates are just God supporting your intentions, then you can begin to look for what the opportunity is. This is not pseudo positivity. I’m not asking you to put your head in the sand. I’m asking you to take responsiblity for the way you treated your back-stabbing associates. They didn’t take you down because you were Mr. Nice Guy. You get what you put out. So you got back from them what you put out to them.
This is an opportunity for you to make a new decision about where to put your thoughts. Question, “Are you committed to being a powerless victim or the creator of your life?” If you are committed to being the creator of your life, then you must start to look at how you created this situation and how you can create the next situation in a positive way.
I highly recomend you download my Discover Your Purpose workbook and complete it ASAP.

Radio Interview
Nellie Jacobs does a radio show Igniting Imagination on Blog Talk Radio. She interviews creative types and digs out their thought processes. Very in depth. If you need some inspiration today, take the time to listen to this show. Plus, she plays a couple segments of songs that I’ve written in the past (fun).

Monkey's got your back
The Drunk Monkey (your mind) is a survival machine. It’s job is to protect you from possible destruction. Therefore, it is totally addicted to the news. The news organizations have realized that sensationalized news hooks their viewers Drunk Monkeys.
The news has no commitment to truth. It has a commitment to making money which means “selling advertising”. The more viewers the news organizations have, the more money these companies make. Clearly, there is a natural pull towards the sensational verses the truth. Blogging has only made this 100 times worse because blogging, like this blog, is just someone’s opinion.
“All opinions are vanities and have no intrinsic value and are actually the result of ignorance” says Dr. David Hawkins in his book The Eye of the I.
If you are going to feel good and make the best of the current economy, then you are going to have to give up your addiction to the news and your opinion about the news.
When you focus on what Obama is doing or which bank is going under, you move out of your center. These could be important factors in your decision-making about what strategy would make the best of this economy. Yet, to become evangelistically opposed to stuff you’ve got no control over is only negatively impacting your own psyche. If you listen to yourself and your friends talk about the news, you will hear yourself and others giving their opinion about things that make no difference and things they have no control over.
To put your focus on these kinds of questions will make a profound difference.
To spend time pondering the news and how it might possibly negatively effect you is pathetic and the mindset of the victim. (Read that again please).
To spend time espousing your opinion over tax cuts, presidential spending and banks going under after the fact is completely ridiculous and only done by people committed to being stuck and spreading the illusion that they are not in control of their life. Illusion not truth.
You are the creator of your experience, not the victim of your circumstances. You have the power to mold the circumstances of your life first with your attitude (your perspective) and second with your actions.
So what are you going to focus on?
