I’ve been out most of the day and evening and returned home to find I could not get into the website! The message said “Exceeded Bandwidth Limits” – - Uh-Oh 
Hmmm – I could tell you that I had no idea this was going to happen! That is sorta the truth…..
See – I am in charge of setting my own bandwidth – and before I left here today I did see an message saying that the bandwidth was reaching the limit… but I didn’t think too much about it – since I thought my settings were set to allow the limits to go over…….
Well that was not the case – So when I got home tonight – I reset the limits and everything is AOK again!
Did I vibrate this? Did I match this vibration? Well obviously if it happened then I matched it! It is along that area of Little, Dopey, Annoying Detours
Here is what I realized -
I am the one who set these bandwidth limits – then when I exceeded them – the website crashed. Isn’t that what we sometimes do with our own lives….
We set these limits – with the rules we make up in our heads -
- I should do this
- I shouldn’t do that
- I have to do this
- If I do that it won’t work
- I want to do this – but I can’t… because other’s say it won’t work
- etc…. etc…. etc….
Then we enter in the arena of personal development and Law of Attraction. We think – OK if I am the creator of my life – I am not going to follow those rules anymore and we stretch ourselves – we exceed our limits – - and we crash!
- We give up on our dreams -
- We get depressed -
- We say this Law of Attraction works for others but not me.
I had the warning signs earlier today when I got the email about the website. We also get warning signs when we are crashing in our lives. Maybe it is a headache, maybe it is just an all around blah feeling, maybe we are antsy… the signs are there.
It is all about that Sloppy Thinking – If I get the warning signs, as I got that email earlier today, and we ignore those signs… then I am headed for a crash!
So what to do?
Really it is as simple as it was for me tonight – We need to reset our limits! We need to realize that we are the one’s that set our limits and we need to reset them – - or better yet set them to Unlimited as I did tonight with the bandwidth on this website!
I could now be beating myself up – I could be saying – “Today was a big day as we announced the winner of the AttitudeZapz Contest – I really messed up” – “I should have known better” – “I should have checked the settings before I left today”
Doing that would be setting more limits – setting myself up for more crashes! Instead, I say – “Well everything is OK now” – “I certainly have learned to check all of my settings and I ended up writing a post tonight that I didn’t even know I was going to write”
So… This was Not a Big Deal – Everything is good! 
I do apologize to all for the inconvenience – I hope you go see who are AttitudeZapz Winner is and I hope you have a Unlimited Day!

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Ellie, I work for the payroll department for Ford and I have had many times where I have had an urging to check a job or a control card and I ignored it. I then get woke in the middle of the night to fix an abend that I could have prevented if I had listened to myself. I sometimes think the hardest thing is to learn to trust these feelings.
When I entered the contest to win the AttitudeZaps, I REALLY liked the CD and was going to order it right away. Something told me to wait because I might win it. I almost ignored it because I don’t usually win at things like this. I’m glad I listened and I’m glad you gave me the opportunity.
Hi Teri — Ignoring those urgings — hmmm each time it happens I swear I will pay attention next time!!
Though I must say I do pay attention more now than I ever did — so I am working my way to pay attention 100%!
See you had that intuition about the CD and here you are the WINNER!!
Congrats!!
I had such fun with this contest – I will have to find some more folks who want to have contests with us all!
Hi Ellie,
Great post! I like that – creating ‘unlimited’ days. Each day the sun rises and falls, the mountains stand and the seas stay in place but we have the awesome ability and power to create within that percieved space and time so much that we can enjoy for ourselves and others. How blessed and loved we are by our creator to be given that ability. Blows me away….unlimited and infinite.
Hi Ellie,
Some great insights! Even though I know what I know now, I still go against my gut instinct at times which can lead to some not so nice experiences. Practice makes perfect!
Maybe you attracted the downtime because you wanted to add even more valuable content to your blog with this post? Just a thought!

Hi Kim….
What beautiful thoughts you have written – as I read them I had goose bumps — “truth bumps”
Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Gary….
I am still amazed at myself when I go against that gut instinct! It is always right!
I promise you – I had no intentions of writing a post that night and had no plans on that topic! As I started to write just to inform everyone of what had happened – the whole topic just opened up for me — so obviously it was supposed to get written!
Hi Ellie,
I know very well what you mean when we set our limits. I’ve been thinking I’ve overextended myself and seems like everything’s been getting bogged down. Then I take a deep breath, look for appreciate what good has come about lately and then I find something else new to appreciate appears.
Hi Dean….
I had a very, very busy week and there were a few voices in my head that wanted to tell me I was doing too much!
All of these things I was doing were things I really wanted to do…
If I paid attention to those voices – I would start to get antsy and things did not go smoothly – Once I decided I was going to just go along – be in the now – make peace with what was going on – knowing I wanted to feel good and accomplish these things… Then I was able to be peaceful, accomplish all I set out to do and have a great time!
Ahhhhh
