100 Day Challenge

So, I didn't get very far in the 100 Day Challenge but that's ok. I'm making money. I obtained a part time gig to pay off some items that I've been meaning to for years. Part of the reason I was able to obtain the position is because I focused positive energy, feeling and inspired action into working my resume, cover letter, and testing skills. My vision board was instrumental as I focused on my goal of an easy, part time gig nearly daily.

I've recently begun reading the Master Key System by Charles Haanel. http://www.thesecret.tv/treasures/ebooks/Master-Key-System.pdf
It is a course in the Law of Attraction but unlike the Secret it goes much deeper into right thinking and how to adequately achieve this. In fact, the Secret is based on the Master Key System. To get the full story about the Secret, read the Master Key System. I've made it through lesson 6 and I can tell you that I can already focus more and direct my energies to more of things that I want to achieve in my life. In fact, I used to be a television/movie junkie but now I find life away from tv much more interesting and fulfilling.

More on the 100 day Challenge.

I accomplished my goal to tell my mother that I love her. We had a great evening. We played cards and talked and laughed. It was very relaxing and took my mind away from any situations that have caused me strain. I want to end this evening with some ideas about what my goal(s) for tomorrow may be:

1. Finish the short story that I am planning to submit to Glimmer Train
2. Start drinking 8 glasses of water consistently with vitamins consistently
3. Listen to Holosync every day for 20 minutes
4. Complete two exercises from the LOA book Calling in the One
5. Complete the Steve Pavlina $1,000,000 manifestation exercise http://www.stevepavlina.com/million-dollar-experiment.htm

I am beginning a 100 day challenge today. This is a part of the co creating journey I learned about. http://www.cocreatingourreality.com/Site/Home.html
I need to raise my energy as it has been low due to some situations that I have had to endure. One of the best ways to raise your energy (or vibrations as some say) is to write down what you are grateful for. Starting today, I will make a list every day of what I am grateful for and each day I will set a goal to accomplish something, anything, big or little.

Grateful List:

1. Relaxing at home
2. My new temporary part time job
3. Synchronicity (God's way of giving me a little wink)
4. Pay checks on a Friday
5. My soft hair (after trying so many products I think I've found the one)
6. Email from an admirer
7. A glass of wine on a snowy winter night
8. Dreams (of kind, sweet gestures)
9. Hopeful spirit
10. Resourcefulness
11. Strength
12. My mom
13. A good conversation with my brother
14. Saturday mornings
15. Long Hair Care Forum (LHCF)

Goal for the day:

1. To tell my mother that I love her (haven't done this in years)

Living the Law of Attraction

I have been having a great week and it's only Tuesday. Yesterday, I woke up and said to my self, "I'm going to have a fantastic day at work today." Then, I proceeded to think of a picture of this cute little baby that I found online. This picture always makes me smile deeply inside. After that, I got up, glanced at my vision board and did my morning workout. This is a technique utilizing visualization and affirmations. I find the combination very useful when I remember to do it. The morning seems to be the best time.

I have also been using the affirmation, "I am a money magnet." Then, I picture myself obtaining money from all sorts of avenues: second jobs, finding money on the street, checks in the mail, etc....

Why don't you give it a try?

I will discuss affirmations more later.

Synchronicity

I feel the need to discuss synchronicity a bit. I am still learning about it. But the way I understand it is synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence. I used to believe in coincidences as something that just happened and appeared to mean something but really didn't. For instance, a friend calling you up after you have been thinking about him or her was something I used to think of as a coincidence and nothing special. Now since I have been placing my intentions on my vision board as well as in my journal (which I will discuss later), I see the beauty in synchronicity.

I have experienced a lot of meaningful coincidences lately. One of my intentions is to manifest my ideal mate. This intention is on my vision board (of course). Now, I've noticed some very strange things. An example, an associate and I were at a store looking for a coat for my mom. A man came up to us and asked our opinion of a vest he was looking to buy for someone. The fact that the man approached us was no big deal. However, the fact that this man looked very similar to one of the men I have on my vision board is a big deal! It's freaking me out a little even as I write this. To me, this is a strong example of synchronicity and a strong example that my ideal mate is either someone that I have already met or someone I will meet very soon.

So what does synchronicity mean to you? Synchronicity is an indication from God, the Universe, Formless Substance, Energy, whatever you want to call it, of which one of your intentions you will manifest. It is also the intention you are the most aligned with and this is the Universe's way of letting you know that it is on it's way.

Manifestations

When I watched the Secret movie something clicked in me. I began to take notes on what I saw and to put some of it into action. One of the things mentioned in the movie is a vision board. Basically, a vision board is just a collage of your intentions, the things you intend to happen in your life. It can consist of pictures, quotes, words, whatever you choose.

I went to Walgreens, bought a poster board and began printing out pictures of things I intended for my life. One of the things was to visit New York. Now this might not be a big deal to some but to me it was. I have been trying to get there for over 10 years and for various reasons did not go. Once I decided that I wanted to visit NYC I needed to find a way to get there, i.e, the money. I wasn't sure how I was going to pull it all together. Now, this is the manifestation that I said I'd discuss in my earlier blog post.

So, I put a picture of NYC on my board along with the words new york city. I also put the words, "I will have $500 extra dollars by such and such date..." (don't remember the date now). Almost daily I would look at my vision board, and visualize myself sipping coffee in a cafe in NYC, going to an art museum or visiting Greenwich Village. On one particular morning, I got up, did my morning workout and began to do a cool down. I remembered that I needed to pay my rent and I also remembered that my building management had sent me some payment coupons to include along with my rent payment. So, I decided to look at my vision board for a few minutes, visualize my trip to NYC and then open the stuff from my building management. When I opened the envelope I almost collapsed! There was a check for $915 in the envelope along with the payment coupons for the rent. Since my old management had sold the building my new management company was refunding security deposits now instead of holding on to them! It might not seem like a lot to some but it floored me. I was going to NYC with more money than I had expected.

One thing I noticed about this manifestation is that while I put it on my vision board and visualized it regularly, I did not focus on it all the time. Actually, right before I manifested I had starting to forget about it and focus on my other intentions and goals. It was right when I had forgotten about NYC that I manifested NYC. I say this to say, that while we want to manifest our intentions, we must find a way to detach from them as well. And by detach, I do not mean you don't care about them. You care about your intentions and you still know that they will come to fruition but you don't cling to them. My understanding of detachment is you know that your intentions are ON THEIR WAY, and this faith allows you to go with the flow of life and not dwell on your intentions, grasping them out of fear that they will not occur.
