It seems that the level of chaos and sudden last minute changes has increased this year. Here are 16 tips for navigating 2012 chaos

• Tip: Create conditioned space when traveling a lot by conditioning an object that I bring with me - eg a meditation mat
• Tip: Chinese character for chaos is danger + opportunity - focus on increasing the latter...
• Tip: breath and posture shifts
• Tip: daily yoga practice
• Tip: Donna Eden 5 minute energy exercises
• Tip: Play kirtan chants at volume just below hearing level in room 24/7 to condition space
• Tip: viewing failure as information rather than judgment. A "mis-take" is a chance for a "re-take".
• Tip: invoking the energy of a child who wants something and persists and focuses only on the positive and ignore any negative stuff.
  • a child learning to walk will fail hundreds of times before they can walk. (Many adult don't want to try something new every ONE time!)
• Tip: stretch yourself daily, take a risk once a week, die often (your comfort zone) (From Rhonda Britan material) http://www.monagrayson.com/day-6-stretch-risk-or-die-change-your-life-in-30-days/
• Tip: adjust the thermostat of your comfort zone (a Matrix technique)
  • raise both lower and higher "temperature settings"
• Tip: Ask angels for help in situation
• Tip: practice ho'oponopono - chanting inside "I love you. Thank you." as you think of/experience 3D and/or people in your life
• Tip: EFT - acceptance, forgiveness of situation plus going through the best and worst cases as you tap
• Tip: Yuen method techniques for feeling 10/10, and shifting feelings of best and worst case - similar to your bringing in source to 3D awareness
• Tip: Sedona method - releasing issue, diving into avoided emotion (compare to fearology)

This article by Carol Tuttle is a good reminder to focus on who I want to be as well as what I want to do (or even what I want to have)!

I came across a great tool to help with being who I want to be on a daily basis - make a "to-be" list for my day. Just list the states I want to be in across the top of a piece of paper eg love, abundance, patience, calm etc or what ever states you want to be in. Then draw columns down the page and list in them the activities/schedules you have for today under the state you want to experience for that activity. For example if you are taking a bus trip you might list it under patience. Or contacting old clients under abundance.

I learned this idea from a book "Plenty of Time" by Terces Engelhart (of Cafe Gratitude in San Francisco)

• saving travel tickets/itinerary from airlines etc
• photographed all my old journals for 1) backup 2) searchable text
• import all scanned mail from Earth Class Mail and other sources so I can search and find stuff
• photographs of receipts
• import of all files in MyDocuments fold for search and backup
• keep track of important numbers and contacts
• keeping track of goals

• list of delegated tasks
• drafts of newsletter and blog entries
• shopping lists (especially ones weeks in advance where I might think of new items at odd hours)

PS I used the paid version to get more notes and features ($5/month) but there is a free version too. It works on PC, Mac, smart phones and on the web in case you are traveling without your device.
