This is so great and so applicable to our parenting, EFT and Law of Attraction.

:: Get In a Receiving Mode ::
Being idealistic parents means we do a lot of asking.
When you're upset by your child's behavior, when you
fall short of your own ideals, or when you see other
parents mistreating their children, your reaction is a
kind of asking. You're asking for a more harmonious,
parent-friendly, child-honoring world.
Well, you can ask and ask and ask, but you won't
receive much of what you're asking for until you stop
asking and get in a *receiving* mode:
1. Let go of the question and assume the answer
is already on its way.
2. Enjoy your expectation of satisfaction and
silently give thanks in advance.
3. Be willing to wait "forever" for the
answer/fulfillment. The longer you're willing
to wait, the quicker it will come.
AN EXAMPLE...
Your child has forgotten to flush the toilet for
the umpteenth time this week, and you're feeling
increasingly annoyed and frustrated.
Your child can *feel* your expectation of continued
frustration. S/he is naturally cooperative and will
continue to meet your unspoken expectation until you
put yourself in a "receiving mode":
1. Assume that what you want is already on its way.
"My child knows what I want, and it's only a matter
of time before s/he gets it down. (Literally!) With
my emotional cross-currents out of the way, s/he'll
easily settle into a new competency that s/he can
feel good about..."
2. Enjoy your expectation of satisfaction
and silently give thanks in advance.
"I feel good *now* when I imagine my child
successfully forming a good habit. The success is
not just the outcome but the whole process, which
has already begun. I'm grateful that all I have to
do is 'find the feeling place' of having what I
truly want, and my child will naturally tend to
align with it..."
3. Be willing to wait "forever" for the
answer/fulfillment.
"I create satisfaction from within, unconditionally,
so there's no hurry. I can actually *enjoy* waiting
and witnessing the unfolding process. I like the
*whole* story, not just the last chapter. The
fulfillment is just the icing on the cake!"
Does that mean you'll never again remind your child
to flush? No. But if/when you do, it won't feel like
nagging or pleading; it'll be an expression of your
positive expectation.
Today, practice getting in a receiving mode as you
interact with your children, your peers, and society
at large. Can you *feel* the difference between asking
and receiving?
