Continuation prescribed re-reading the masker keys, which I had planned to do but not this soon. I adjusted. In my personal life, I&#8217;m finding a <strong>Law Review<\/strong>\u00a0has been dictated.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad we ended the course with the Law of Least Effort. That means it has been fresh in my mind. I have needed it. I needed it the final week of the course, and I implemented it with less expertise than would have been optimal (I&#8217;m being kind here). I needed it again this week, and I&#8217;ve been better. Still sub-optimal, but a significant improvement over two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Indulge me while I keep the law review\u00a0foremost in my mind:<\/p>\n<p>Law of Least Effort: Acceptance<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I practice <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Acceptance<\/span>. Today I accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I know that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">this moment is as it should be<\/span>, because the universe is as it should be. I do not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are in this moment, not as I wish they were.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Law of Least Effort: Responsibility<\/p>\n<p>2. Having accepted things as they are, I take <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Responsibility<\/span> for my situation and for all those events I see as problems. I know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for my situation (and this includes myself_). I also know that every problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to opportunities allows me to take this moment and transform it into a greater benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Law of Least Effort: Defenselessness<\/p>\n<p>3. Today my awareness remains established in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Defenselessness<\/span>. I relinquish the need to defend my point of view. I feel no need to convince or persuade others to accept my point of view. I remain open to all points of view and am not rigidly attached to any one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Applying the Law of Least Effort means living each day with:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Acceptance<\/li>\n<li>Responsibility<\/li>\n<li>Defenselessness<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot in there, isn&#8217;t there? I&#8217;ve had to repeat Acceptance, Responsibility, and Defenselessness over and over and over again over these past few weeks. And that isn&#8217;t the only law I&#8217;ve needed.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve restarted the Mental Diet so many times, I&#8217;ve lost count. The negativity has attacked with a vengeance, and I don&#8217;t always laugh at the world as well as I would like to. Even though &#8220;this too shall pass&#8221; definitely applies, I&#8217;ve found myself wishing to apply the Law of Relaxation &#8212; having my calm, relaxed state of mind help me access infinite intelligence, because I&#8217;ve certainly needed it, coming up short time and again. The Law of Practice is getting a work out. Everywhere I turn, I find an opportunity to practice &#8212; these laws, and I perform amazingly because of practice. Well, I need more practice, because amazing, well, I&#8217;m getting a lot of practice, and I will perform amazingly because of practice.<\/p>\n<p>I know what I&#8217;m going through now in my life isn&#8217;t even the dress rehearsal for the real thing yet, so practice I will, because I need to get this right. I&#8217;m struggling to apply the Laws of Dual Thought and Substitution &#8212; attaching any feeling I desire to any thought (my choice) and instantly replacing a negative thought with a positive one. I&#8217;m getting better and better at the Law of Growth &#8212; what I think about grows and what I forget atrophies. Without exception.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still not thinking the thoughts I want manifested, and that requires more practice, because the Law of Subconscious is at work, and it&#8217;s manifesting (just not exactly what I have planned for it to manifest). Plenty of Sit fodder, that&#8217;s for sure. I think I&#8217;ve been pretty good with the Law of Forgiveness. How&#8217;s your Law Review going?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 26 is, in most ways, proceeding well.
