How to Master the Art of Magnetic Manifestation

//  by 

I love the power of manifestation!  But, what is manifestation?  How does it work?  Why does it work better for some people than it does for other people?  How can it work for YOU???

I’m going to show you how you can tap into your own manifestation skills to create the life of your dreams in EVERY area of so you can HAVE IT ALL!

Manifest means to display or show (a quality or feeling) by one’s acts or appearance; to demonstrate; be evidence of; prove; become apparent through the appearance of symptoms.  Simply put as it relates to the Law of Attraction, manifestation is the process of thoughts turning into things.

So, how can you dial up your manifestation skills to attract more of the things you WANT into your life and less of the things you don’t want.

What do you want? Is it…

To be in a romantic relationship?

To be healthy and well?

To be wealthy and financially free?

To have a career that you love?

To feel inspired every day?

To be happy?

To be able to live in the present moment without thinking about the past or worrying about the future?

To be so in love with life you can’t believe it???

Well, you can HAVE IT ALL!!!  There is nothing stopping you, other than your limiting beliefs!  Let’s consider all that exists in the world today.  Every single thing started out as a thought or an idea.  By the time the thought or idea has manifested, the object to which the thought or idea came from has ALREADY been created vibrationally!  The non-physical creation of it is ALREADY DONE!  As Bob Proctor says, “If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand.”  EVERYTHING is a creation of thought first.

Here are three ways to get you there:

Focus on Where You Are Going and What You Want, Not on Where You Are and What You Have

Take out a piece of paper and on the bottom left side of the page, draw a circle.  Inside of the circle, write “YOU ARE HERE” just like you see on directory signs.  Next, draw a big circle at the top right side of the page.  Inside, write “WHAT YOU WANT.”  Then, draw an arrow from the first circle to the second circle.

When you want something, think about this diagram.  Picture this in your mind, and focus your thoughts and your words on what it is you WANT, not what you HAVE.  Keep thinking about the BIG CIRCLE in the upper right corner of the page.  Let that become your “trigger” for remembering to focus all of your energy and attention on what you want!   You can’t get what it is you long for from the same thinking place where you are.  You must be thinking about your DESIRED OUTCOME.

Talk About Your Life As If You Already Have What You Want

This creates magnetic manifestation.  If you’re running a new business, talk about it as if it’s already wildly successful.  Talk about your HEALTH, not your sickness.  Talk about your relationships exclusively from a place of love and admiration.  If you’re in a relationship that is 80% of what you want, but 20% of what you don’t like, focus on the 80%!  Your attention to the positive will create more positive!  Then, act and imagine that the rest of what you want in the relationship is there…watch how things that would normally drive you crazy begin to disappear!

Release Your Attachment to the “Thing” You Want

This may seem counter-productive to the manifestation processes listed above, but this piece is critical to the speed and outcome with which you attract things into your life!

Don’t be SO focused on your desire for it that you create energy around the fact that it’s not here.  Otherwise, it CANNOT come into your life, because more of the energy will be focused on its absence instead of the desire.  If you want love in your life, but you have so much thought, focus and attention on the fact that you don’t have it in your life, your love can’t come in!  Your energy is blocking him!  You must first love yourself and love the idea of VISUALIZING him already in your life!  Imagine him in bed with you, eating dinner with you, watching TV with you, going to the store with you, taking walks with you, etc.  When you do that in a fun, playful, UNATTACHED way, he can’t help but come into your life!

Other powerful tools for manifesting quickly into your life are:

Journaling:  Write about everything you want, and FEEL GOOD while doing it!

Vision Boards:  Very POWERFUL way to manifest things into your life.

Gratitude:  Be grateful for where you currently are, knowing that you’ll always want more and that it is a journey.  We are forever chasing the rainbow until the very end.  We are never done wanting, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy where we are right now.  Be grateful.

Meditation:  When we meditate and quiet our minds, thoughts about what we want flow in.  That is especially effective if you struggle with not knowing what you want sometimes.  So, allow the thoughts to come and pay attention to them.  This is part of manifesting.

Visualization:  Spend 10-30 minutes per day DAYDREAMING!  Yes, just like a child!  Return to that ritual.  It is a VERY productive use of time!  When you do that, you allow your thoughts to expand, and one desire will help lead into another desire, and so on.  You’ll get caught up in the dream and how good it feels, which is what we all want anyway…to feel good!  When you feel good, you are even more magnetically powerful because your energy field is wide open!

I could talk and write about manifestation every day!  It’s such a blessing and a gift once you know how powerful it is, and how easy it is to do!  Pay attention to your thoughts and your words.  Focus only on what you WANT.  Release your attachment to outcome.  Trust that you deserve everything you want and you are limited by NOTHING!

Manifest on!!!

Quote:  “The moment you say it the skies will open for you and the non-physical energies begin instantly to orchestrate the manifestation of your desire.”  – Esther Hicks

Learn How To “Smocus”…The Art of Focusing on Small Goals

//  by 

We all have goals.  The dreams, desires, and wishes we want to achieve.  We do accomplish many of them.  We also let many of them fall by the wayside because we feel like they’re too big to conquer and achieve.  Many of us also feel like we can confidently navigate one or two areas of our lives really well, but we fall short on all the other areas.

There’s a reason that happens.  The goals that we achieve relatively easily are the things that are either:

  1. Most important to us in that moment.
  2. The easiest to accomplish because there’s little effort required to do the work.

What if you were able to break down ALL the goals you wanted to achieve in your life in a way that made it possible for you to achieve many, many more of them?  In order to do that, you need to learn the Art of “Smocus,” meaning you need to learn the art of breaking down your big goals into manageable bite size chunks.

The question then becomes, “What is it that I REALLY want?”  That’s where “Smocus” steps in.

Let me explain three ways to put this into practice so you can see how well it works.

Get Clear About What You Want

Before we can “smocus” we first need to know our desired outcomes. These are the “Big Picture” goals.

What do you want to accomplish in your life over the next year, five years, ten years, in your lifetime, etc.?

  • Do you want to retire?
  • Do you want to start a new career?
  • Do you want to write a book?
  • Do you want your body to look a certain way?
  • Do you want to fall in love and get married?
  • Do you want to have children?
  • Do you want to move somewhere warm?
  • Do you want to take a trip around the world?
  • Do you want to become financially free?

Spend some quality time thinking about what you really want.  When you do this, ask yourself this question:  WHAT WOULD I BE THE MOST UPSET ABOUT NOT ACCOMPLISHING IF MY LIFE WERE TO SUDDENLY END? 

Write out a complete list of everything.  Don’t skip anything.  Nothing is too small or too big.  Think about some of the things you thought you would have done already by this time in your life.  Add those to the list as well.  Make the list as comprehensive as you can.  This is an ongoing list and items will be crossed off and added to it constantly.

Take the List of Big Picture Goals and Put Them in Order of Priority

This is the first part of the “smocus” process.  Once you have a detailed list, the next step is to break it down into chunks.  When you break it down into smaller chunks, it will make the process of putting action steps into place much easier.

I often say that we can have it ALL, and we can!  But, that doesn’t mean that we want to have everything we’ve ever wanted all at once!  That’s why it is important to take the complete list of what you want in your life and break it down in order of importance and priority to you.  For instance, chronologically, it’s more pressing to put having children in front of retiring.  It’s more important to put down things that require your freedom and independence in front of things that may be effected by having other responsibilities in your life.  For example, if you want to backpack throughout Europe for a year, that needs to appear on the list prior to having children (or after they are grown and out of the house…that works, too!)  You get the idea.  Figure out to the best of your ability WHEN the best timing might be to get what you want.  What I want you to know is:  you are limited by nothing, you can have everything you want, and you deserve to have the most extraordinary life!  Don’t let your age or your past come into play with this exercise.  Enjoy the process of laying out your life!  It’s so much fun!

Calendar Everything and Work Backwards

You’re not going to be able to do everything you want to do all at the same time.  But, that doesn’t mean you can’t put it on the calendar.  For example, let’s say you’d like to retire in 10 years, put that on your calendar ten years from now!  One afternoon, for kicks, I browsed my Google Calendar to see how far out into the future the calendar would go.  I stopped browsing after I reached 200 years from now!  Wow!  It was in that moment that I started adding my goals, events and milestones to it.  I put my 100th Birthday on the calendar, and I spent time visualizing my fantastic party and celebration.  I could see myself sitting there, smiling, surrounded by so many loving, wonderful people.  I also have many other special milestones on the calendar as early as this year and all the way in between that 100 birthday mark.

Here are the reasons and benefits for doing this:

THIS TAKES THE VISION BOARD TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!!!!!!!  You can visualize what you want and put it on a vision board, write it in a journal, etc.  BUT, when you put it on your calendar, it makes it more REAL!

What would your calendar look like?  Put everything on the calendar!  Manifest all of it!  If it’s on the calendar in writing, it makes it more real.  FILL your calendar with everything you want to accomplish.  Don’t put any limits on yourself!  Imagine you’ll be living a LONG, HEALTHY, HAPPY, PROSPEROUS LIFE and you have TIME to do, be, and get everything you want to!  Doesn’t that sound like so much FUN?

The last part is to break it down even further.  Pick a handful of items you’d like to accomplish every year.  Once they are on your calendar, put daily reminders on the calendar and in your life so they are top of mind for you all the time.  Once one is accomplished, take down the reminder and focus on a new one.  This is “smocus” in action.  This is the art of manifestation.  This is keeping YOU, your wants, desires and goals top of mind every day.  This is another example of Intentional Living!

It allows you to feel more at peace because once you realize how much TIME you have, time that you are in CONTROL of, you can breathe easier knowing that you’ll accomplish whatever it is you desire to accomplish at the precise moment you should accomplish it in your life.  For all of us who are over achievers, that is peace of mind!

Sometimes, the goal should be nothing more than putting it on the calendar!  Then, let the universe go to work on bringing together all the components to make it happen for you with ease.  Trust that it WILL happen WHEN it’s supposed to happen.

Let me end here with a few key points I want you to take away:

The way you do one thing is the way you do everything.  Implementing this practice will change the way you look at your life FOREVER!

The key to getting anything you want in life is PROGRESS.  This is such a powerful technique in making progress in your life.

This isn’t an exact science.  Life events, free will, and a thousand other occurrences will come into play.  That’s the beauty in the uncertainty of life!  However, you are FAR more likely to do, to be, and to get everything you want to experience while you’re here on planet Earth if you do these processes.  It’s so worth it!

Smocus Focus!!!

You ARE So Worth It! 3 Steps to Improve Your Self-Worth

//  by 

I talk about how worthy you are all the time.  But, now, let’s talk about WHY you are so worthy, and how much you are, and how very special and unique you are.   Knowing these things is integral for you to improve your self-worth.

Self-worth, self-doubt and self-esteem are epidemic in our world, especially among women.  We need to expose this and empower you to know just how valuable you are and just how worthy you are of every damn thing you want in this world!

When I’m working with my clients, and women in general, I hear their stories of struggle in their lives related to men, relationships, work issues, family issues, parenting issues, etc.  The glaring piece of information that is in common with all of them is their lack of self-worth.  What I started to discover is that it’s the one common denominator with everyone I work with.  They have no idea how worthy they are.  That realization created my mission statement, based on empowering women who don’t know their self-worth to discover their true divinity, power, and purpose.

Many women feel subordinate.  Many women feel incomplete in many ways.  Many women feel like second class citizens.  Many women feel like they are nothing if they don’t have a man or children.  Many women are so hard on themselves!   Why are women so hard on themselves???

This is worth exploring more.  I believe the reason women feel this way is because of old paradigms in their mental programming.  I believe if women knew just how powerful they are, they would use their strength and intelligence in a much more profound way, creating a world so rich in love and harmony.  Instead, their fears, doubts and insecurities create jealously, disconnection and competitiveness.

Here’s the thing…Women ROCK!  Women are multi-talented, multi-dimensional, and multi-taskers!  Women can handle so many things at once!  Women are the greatest leaders in the world! We mother, we teach, we nurture!  Women are the most powerful creators…we birth life, for goodness sake!  That is the greatest definition of creator next to God!

So, ladies, how can I enlighten you and empower you to know just how WORTHY you are of your existence and your place on this earth?  Here are three steps to create your worthiness. All three of these steps have been taken straight from my book, “I Have Today: Find Your Passion, Purpose and Smile…Finally!” If you’d like more information, you can purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and my own site!

Empowering You through Affirmations

Empowerment means everything. We tend to take the back seat by putting everyone else’s needs in front of our own. Then, we inevitably get lost in the mix. We want so much to please everyone. By doing so much for others as opposed to putting ourselves first, we wind up feeling depleted, drained, and exhausted…which is very far away from feeling our strength and power.

With all that depletion comes the self-defeating negative conversations within ourselves. Why do we talk about ourselves this way? We are divine, amazing, wonderful beings. But we say things to ourselves like we are not smart enough, we are not good enough, we are not pretty enough, we are not deserving enough, we are fat, we are ugly, we will never lose this weight, we will never get married, we will never have time to do the things we want to do. We can go on, and on, and on. We have to stop it!

Our self-dialogue, whether spoken aloud or even just to ourselves, is having a ripple effect on everyone around us…especially on our children. They learn by example. They watch what we do and they mirror us. They can’t help it.
So, it’s incumbent on you to empower yourself with empowering words…words like “I am worthy, I am a goddess, I am divine.”  Affirm words like that over and over, and over again every day until you believe it!

Affirmations can be really powerful, but you have to use the right affirmations. If they don’t resonate with you, then it’s just empty airtime.

Usually, I list the Affirmation Statements at the end, but TODAY, given the subject matter, it’s appropriate to list them here.  Say these aloud and see how they feel for you.

LOVE IT! I AM SO EMPOWERED!

THANK IT!  I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY EMPOWERMENT!

BRING IT!  I HAVE ROCKET SHIP POWER!!!

If you want more affirmations, there are over 150 powerful affirmations in the “I Have Today System: Find Your Passion, Purpose and Smile in 90 Days or Less” at HERE

I have found the more I affirm, the more the empowerment flows to me and through me. It’s good to “own” it and know who you are; what you’re willing to do and not do; to be “selfish” in a good way.  It is not something to feel guilty or bad about. You are not taking away from anybody else by you being selfish and putting yourself first and empowering you.  The truth is…when you do, you will be able to give even more!

Create Healthy Boundaries

Another element to connecting with your power is by creating healthy boundaries. One way to do that is by getting comfortable saying the word “no” to people. There are many ways to say “no” in a very healthy way to all the people in your life without causing negative feelings or reactions. If you don’t want to do something, for heaven’s sake, do not do it! Be less willing to say yes right away and more time to process a request before responding.

For example, let’s say you’re in an argument with your mom. A great way to create safe boundaries is to create some space…for you! Here’s how: you might say to her, “I hear you Mom; I appreciate where you are coming from, but I can’t take this on right now. And, while I appreciate and respect what you are going through and where you are coming from, I hope you will do the same for me and appreciate where I am coming from right now. I just need some space and some time. Maybe we can talk about this later or at another time under different circumstances. I am happy to do that, but right now, I have to respect my own feelings.”

Another example is this…

Something in the moment may sound really good. But, upon further reflection, it’s maybe not such a good idea.  Instead of instinctively saying “yes,” learn to say “no” in a respectful way. For example,  “I appreciate your offer, request, etc., but I’d like a little time to think about it and get back to you. I hope that you can appreciate where I’m coming from.” Simple, easy, understandable. You are taking into consideration what works and does not work for you. That’s how you decide what your boundaries are. That is how you respect your time and your worthiness.

You are worth taking the time to create a space where you can process things and not overreact.  When you give yourself time and space, the situation dissipates.  When you revisit it, you come from a place of WORTHINESS and POWER, not a place of victim and wounded child.  That is a much healthier state of being.

Practice this wherever possible by asking yourself this question in any given situation. Do I really want to be doing this? Will this bring me happiness? Am I doing this out of some sense of obligation? By asking yourself questions like this, you’ll start to recognize patterns of where you don’t honor your boundaries, and the “lines” will become clearer.

Be Selfish in a Really Good Way

When you are selfish in a really good way, you can serve the world with much more enthusiasm.

This is a stretch for many women because we have become so accustomed to serving the needs of others first. When you are selfishly loving yourself, caring for yourself, nurturing yourself, you will be emanating radiance, happiness, and joy. You will feel better about doing everything in your life.  My “Selfishness” is I get up every day and express my gratitude. Then, I go and do my routine of nurturing my spirit, mind and body. After that, I feel amazing and ready to take on the day! That’s because I put myself first! That’s the definition of being selfish in a really good way.  It means figuring out how you can serve YOU FIRST above everyone else so that your heart, your soul and your energy tank are full and ready to take on whatever may come during the day.  By putting you first, your level of self-worth sky rockets!!!  So, be as selfish as you can be, then go conquer the world!!!  We need you!!!!

I can’t say enough about the force of being an empowered person. It is your birth right. It is who you are. It is your essence. Do not discount that…don’t play small! When you play small, you deprive this world of your greatness.

You have to play big. You have to shine bright. You have got to be the biggest, boldest, most wonderful being that you can possibly be…and that takes empowerment and knowing your true worth!

The Power of The Shower: 3 Steps to Capitalize on Your Genius Ideas

//  by 

According to Business Insider, 72% of people get their best ideas in the shower!  Do you ever notice all your genius ideas come to you when you’re in the shower?  The greatest ideas, inventions, songs, memories, speeches, and solutions to problems!  Noah St. John came up with the idea behind his book “Afformations” while he was in the shower.  There is so much brilliance that comes out of us in the shower!  Why is that?

Genius ideas happen instantaneously! These solutions, thoughts, and creative ideas happen for everyone and not just to so-called geniuses.  They are never forced.  They come at the exact moment they are meant to come, and they happen when we are in a relaxed state…like in the shower.

There are several reasons why those ideas come to us in the shower:

Taking a shower is routine, so there isn’t any real thought needed.  That frees up your subconscious, which allows your mind the opportunity for other thoughts to float in.

The warm water is very relaxing, which puts your body and mind at ease and more receptive to new thoughts and ideas.  The pre-frontal cortex, which is responsible for decisions, goals and behaviors, goes to work

It’s a form of meditation because our brains enter the alpha state.  The added dopamine kicks in, which is associated with creativity and flow. 

Actually, Our brains are MORE active when we allow them to wander!  Trying to force thinking doesn’t work.

This relaxed state of mind is important for receiving our creative insights and genius.  At that time, our minds aren’t cluttered with the millions and millions of thoughts that run throughout them during the day.  We are shut off from the mind chatter when we are in the shower.  For many people, taking a shower is the most relaxing time of the day for them.  Some days, I just can’t seem to get out of the shower because I’m so relaxed and I have so many thoughts and ideas coming through.  I do a lot of my writing in the shower…my blog topics, my speeches, etc.  I also create a lot of products in there.  I hash out challenges and design conversations.  It’s such a productive use of time!

What do you observe about your own experiences in the shower?  How can you capitalize on this process now that you’re aware of it and know how valuable this time is?  What can you do to make the most of the brilliant ideas that come to you in this meditative, relaxed state?  Here are three steps to help.

Make sure you can capture the “Genius”

Bring your phone or recording device in the bathroom with you!  Hit record before you hop in.  That way, if something brilliant comes to you, you can shout it out loud and capture it.  There’s nothing worse than coming up with a brilliant idea but being unable to write it down or record it.  Have you noticed that after you receive a thought like that and you try and remember it later, it’s gone?  The reason that happens is because we go from being in an altered state of relaxation and being connected to our inner selves back to “reality.”  We put too much emphasis on trying to remember the thought.  Thereby, forcing the thought right out of our minds.  That can be frustrating.  So, having a recording device ready and waiting is a great way to capture all of your brilliance!

Enhance Your Ability to Receive Even MORE “Genius”

Use the time when you are in the shower to pray for answers to your questions.  Now that you know what a powerful time of the day this is for receiving “genius” ideas and answers, it’s the perfect time to ask for what it is you want.  Ask for what is the best path to what you want.  Ask anything you want!  You get to decide!  Then, release the questions.  Let the thoughts, ideas, words, pictures float into your mind as you continue your normal routine in the shower.  It’s your own little church and your safe-haven while you’re in there.  Embrace the gift of opportunity in there.  Trust that the answers to your questions and prayers will come.

Create Other Opportunities to Receive “Genius”

Utilize that form of relaxation and meditative state you experience in the shower and find ways to reach that state at other times in your day.  The shower is a time when we literally become a receiving portal to all our creativity and bolts of inspiration.  But, this “genius” isn’t exclusive to spending time in the shower.  We can get into that state in many other ways:

  • Meditating
  • Driving
  • Talking walks
  • Cleaning
  • Vacuuming
  • Sitting on a park bench
  • Sleeping

Paul McCartney woke up with the song “Yesterday” in his head.  I woke up with the poem “I Have Today” in my head, and it started the whole movement and the company.

I have observed that sitting out on my patio with the sun beating down on me gets me into a very relaxed state.  I notice that I get many great ideas when I’m out there.  I also get a TON of brilliant ideas when I’m driving on the open road.  I keep my phone nearby and hit the record button.  That way, I never miss a moment of brilliance!

One final important thought…this should not be stressful!  Don’t feel like you HAVE to take a journal or notepad with you on every walk you take or every time you go sit in a park.  Chances are you have your phone with you everywhere you go, so you’ll always have a way to type or record your ideas.  Let them come to you whenever they come to you.  The important thing is to record them.  Then, pay attention to two key points:

Not every idea is meant to be acted upon, so relax about it.

If you notice a thought you continue to have over and over again, that is a sign to take action.

Brilliance received in the shower is just one of the miraculous gifts God has given us the ability to do.  As “creators” (and we are ALL “creators”), finding new ways to tap into the brilliance is part of the journey and part of the fun!  Now you can enjoy your showers even more!

Maintain Higher Vibrational Energy by Rising Above the Noise

//  by 

Have you ever noticed that some people love to thrive on gossip?  They are just not happy unless they are talking smack about somebody else.  You know the kind of people I’m talking about.  The ones that LOVE drama!  They love having company in their misery.  They don’t feel good unless they are saying something bad about someone else.  How many times have you been in a situation that didn’t feel good?  You didn’t like the way the conversation was going, and you didn’t want to participate in it.  But, you felt like it would have been rude to step away in the middle of it.  Here’s my two cents:  Walk away!

Be the “cream” and rise to the top!  This is a metaphor for getting to that sweet spot where you exist above all the chatter, the noise, the gossip and the innuendo that goes on all around us.  That “noise” is what tends to keep us down.  In order to “operate” at your highest vibrational level, you’ve got to get away from this type of noise…at least for a little while.  Once you learn the techniques I’m offering here, you’ll be MUCH better equipped to drown out that chatter and live in the “sweet spot” a whole lot more in your life.

The best advice I can give you is that it is WORTH this investment of time and energy because the results that you’ll start to experience in your life will blow you away!

  • Richer, deeply connected, more loving relationships.
  • A higher caliber of people surrounding you.
  • A greater sense of self and massive amounts of confidence.

You’ll start to become very selective of whom you spend time with and where you spend it.  You’ll no longer want to subject yourself to surroundings that drain your energy and literally waste your time.  Plus, you’ll be living with much more self-awareness, more love of self, and a greater level of compassion and kindness.  Doesn’t that sound wonderful?  By the way, this is where most successful people reside.  They don’t have the time or the energy to deal with petty, insecure, hurtful behavior.  They spend their time working and looking for ways to make this world a better place.

To get there, you have to change some things that are currently happening in your life.  Be open minded, and just go with it!  I’m going to show you how to rise above it so that you can be more tuned in to you.

Turn off your TV for 30 Days

Yes, that seems extreme, I know.  But, give it a try.  At the very least, do it for one week while you are integrating these steps.  The quickest way to stop talking about people is to stop listening to other people talk about people!  What a concept, right?  I used to work in the TV industry, so I know that major television stations air over 50 hours of news per week.  The first ten minutes are designed to shock you and to keep you hooked and viewing.  All the bad news of the day comes first.  The expression is “if it bleeds, it leads.”  Taking in those images keeps your vibration down.  How can you feel good inside watching all that bad news?

The drama series and reality shows are filled with back stabbing, gossiping, bad mouthing, fighting, murder, etc.  Drama, drama, drama!  Watching programming like this makes it very difficult to stay in positive vibrational energy.  Our subconscious minds cannot tell the difference between the truth and a lie, so everything we take in is considered “real” to our subconscious.

Do I even need to talk about politics?  Hello…THIS is the most damaging of all!  There is NO WAY in H-E double hockey sticks we have a snow ball’s chance of EVER getting anywhere near world peace with our current state of politics.  We can’t even Love Thy Neighbor!  The ONLY way for it to improve is to NOT give it any attention and only focus on LOVE.  Hate breeds hate, period.  Your way vs. my way breeds divisiveness, period.  Your best bet is to TURN IT OFF!

I know that, for me, I stopped watching TV on a regular basis several years ago.  Now, if I catch myself binging on a Netflix series, I am “off.”  I start thinking negative thoughts, the fears and doubts resurface, and I get into a state that keeps my vibration lower than I want it to be or it should be in order to attract into my life the things I want.  It’s not good.

What’s the effect it’s having on you?  It’s worth it to try and abstain from TV for 30 days.  That’s all!  Just 30 days!  Imagine what you can do with all that time?  Read more, play more, spend more time doing productive and fun activities, sleep more…did I say “play” more?

Remove Yourself from As Many Commitments as You Can for the Next 30 Days

This may seem unreasonable, but PLEASE try it!  Try not to attend any meetings, social gatherings, family obligations, or events that may potentially have a negative effect on you.  Stay away from “clicky” women, gossip, insincere people, negative co-workers, your annoying sister, etc.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do for ourselves is to just be alone as much as possible.  When we spend time alone, we can’t be influenced by the opinions or energy of others.  We also allow ourselves the opportunity to “tune in” to ourselves…our inner voice and guidance.  When we’re alone, we can “HEAR” ourselves so much better and clearer!  It’s when we get quiet and still that who we are, what we want, and what our purpose is has the opportunity to reveal itself to us.

I realize that you probably have people living with you…your spouse, your kids, your parents, etc.  However, do whatever you can to spend as much time alone as possible.  Spend that time reading, writing, daydreaming, imagining, listening to uplifting music, anything that helps facilitate you lifting yourself to a higher vibration and get you to that “sweet” spot.

Do Your Best Not to Judge Anyone

There’s an expression that says, “Perception is Projection” and when we point out behaviors we don’t like in other people, it is a mirror reflection of what we don’t like in ourselves.  Therefore, when we judge others, we are judging ourselves.

Everyone is always doing the best they can from where they are.  If someone is rude to you, there’s usually a reason.  People are never rude.  What’s happening is they are exhibiting rude behavior.  The person is separate from their action.  When you think about it like that, it makes is harder to judge people.  When it’s harder to judge people, it’s easier not to talk about them in a negative way.  By accepting people just as they are, it makes it so much easier to stay in a higher vibrational state.  Trust me, you’ll be living a much happier life this way!

In Wayne Dyer’s book “10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace,” the 10th Secret is “Wisdom Is Avoiding All Thoughts That Weaken You.”  Thoughts of judgement weaken us.  He writes “Every single thought you have can be assessed in terms of whether it strengthens or weakens you.”  He goes on to give an example of muscle testing and that if you speak a lie, your arm will move but when you speak the truth, you can hold your arm strong.  He then quotes something from David R. Hawkins’ book “Power vs. Force” on the difference between Force, which takes energy and weakens us versus Power, which energizes since it makes no demands on us.

Be the “cream.”  Do your best to implement these practices, and journal your results.  They will be incredible.  You can’t imagine how different your life can be in 30 short days from today.  When you look back at this day reading this, then fast forward to the end of the 30 days, you’ll be so GRATEFUL you invested the time and energy.  As I always say, have FUN with it…because guess what…life is supposed to be FUN!  Rise to YOUR HIGHEST LEVEL!

Setting Intentions and Outcomes

//  by 

Manifesting, outcomes and setting intentions “shows up” in every area of our life.  Once we realize that, we can then figure out how to set powerful intentions all day long to reach our desired outcomes in EVERY SITUATION.

Creating manifestations is so much FUN!  We all have the power to deliberately create in our lives.  When I’m working with clients one on one, I’m speaking, or I’m hosting my webinars, I do so much work around living intentionally and the art of manifestation.  To do that, we need to first know our desired outcome in every situation.  How can we possibly know where we are going if we don’t create an outcome and set the intentions to get there?  We need to know this because we don’t get to the end (our goal) from the same state that we started.  We need a strategy!

We should be focused on outcomes and setting intentions in everything we do in our day.  When we get out of bed what do we do first, when we brush our teeth, when we eat breakfast, do we watch the news or read the newspaper?  When we get to work, what do we plan to accomplish on that day, that week, that month, that quarter, that year?  What about diet and exercise?  What are your desired weight and fitness goals?  We should be thinking about our intentions to achieve our outcomes all day long!

This sounds like a lot of planning, doesn’t it?  The truth is, it is not complicated at all.  It’s like training a muscle to work for you.  It only feels strange when you first start doing it.  Once you create the habit, it becomes second nature.

The meaning of “intention” is purpose.  It is an act or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result.   The “outcome” is the end result, or consequence.   

Our lives all have meaning and purpose.  One of our purposes is to live the best life we can possibly live.  With our limited time here in the human experience, I believe in “squeezing the juice out of each day.”  That means that every second I’m alive counts.  Therefore, I want everything I do to be with purpose, intention, and to have a desired outcome.

Here are three EASY steps to achieve any outcome.  I say “easy” because I believe that life is supposed to be easy.  The tricky part is in following through.  But, once you read how simple this is to do, it is my firm belief that you will be manifesting and creating your desired outcomes like crazy!  At least, that is my hope for you!

Think About What You Want

To figure out the outcome, you HAVE to know what you want first and write it down!  Put it in your journal or a special notebook titled “My Dream Life” or, …I love this…“I Get Everything I Want!”  Some examples:

  • To be in love.
  • To be a millionaire.
  • To travel the world.
  • To have financial freedom.
  • To be a mom.
  • To be in a job you love.
  • To get along with your spouse, kids, parents, etc.
  • To have more fun!
  • To be more organized.
  • To be less stressed.
  • To be more present in your life.

Then, spend some time thinking about and writing WHY you want it…NOT how you are going to get it.  Just focus on the WHY.  (It’ll make me feel good; I’ll have so much fun; it makes me happy; I love doing things like that; I get so much satisfaction, etc.)  The point here is to focus on the way it makes you FEEL.  If you follow along any of my work or teachings, then you know that everything we ever want or desire is because we think it will make us FEEL BETTER.  This is what Abraham Hicks talks about all the time. 

Figure Out Where You Are

When you decide that you want a certain outcome, it’s because you are not happy with your current condition or circumstances.  In order to get from point A to point B, you need to figure out where you are in relation to what you want.  The key here is to PUT A “BY WHEN” DATE NEXT TO EACH OUTCOME.

Here are some examples: 

  • I want to weigh 10 pounds less in 60 days from now. 
  • I will be in a committed relationship by the end of this summer.
  • I will be saving an extra $500/month starting with my next paycheck.
  • I will be in a new job by the end of this year.
  • I will get out of this relationship and be independent and on my own by October 1.
  • I will write my book in the next 90 days.
  • We will go to a new country on vacation for the holidays this year.
  • If you don’t put a goal date down, it will never get done!  Trust me, you NEED that end goal date in mind! 

Reverse-engineer Your Strategy

I love this expression.  I heard Gary Vaynerchuk say it in a video, and I loved it.  This guy is the bomb.  Love, love, love him.  He is no BS, he’s authentically himself, and he is always, always, always in action.  If you want to know more about him, here’s a link to his site:

If you did my “30 Day Challenge On How To Have a Better TODAY” then you know I asked you to reverse-engineer an unplanned vacation on your calendar.  It’s the same concept here, but now I want you to do this for all of the outcomes you want to achieve.  The weight loss, the new job, falling in love, saving money.  BREAK IT DOWN backwards from your deadline until TODAY!  If it’s 10 pounds in two months, that’s a pound a week.  If it’s $500 per month more in savings, that breaks down to $16.67 per day.  Get out the calculator, do some core math, and figure it out!  Create the strategies.  When you break out it this simplistically, you will see how EASY it is to achieve your outcomes!  Then, and only then, can you know your daily intentions!  Don’t you just love this?!?

Here is a BONUS STRATEGY:

WRITE THIS ON POST-IT NOTES AND PUT THEM ALL OVER THIS WEEK:

MY INTENTIONS MOVE ME TO MY OUTCOMES!

I am a big believer in mantras and affirmations.  So, if this helps you remember every day, then please use it!

This whole process is all about Intentional Living.  If you take the time to figure out what you want and why, then you figure out where you are, then you reverse-engineer your strategy, imagine the FOCUS and CLARITY you are going to be feeling every day!  You will spend so much of your time feeling like your life is on track, you know what you want and where you’re going, and you know exactly how you’ll get there.  Because of all of that, you will be FEELING SO GOOD and so PROUD OF YOURSELF!

Here’s the MAGICAL part…when we feel so good anyway, we don’t even NEED the manifestation to come to us, or the outcome, etc.  And THAT is the moment when it shows up!  Awesome!  Awesome!  Awesome!  Have fun with this!  It’s your life, enjoy the ride!
