The Magical Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 6

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 6

Works Like Magic

Day 6: Works Like Magic

"If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill - take it or push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to wildest edges of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic."  -Tom Robbins 

 

I loved the quote by Tom Robbins above. I found it on the Day 6 Chapter of the book, The Magic. It is so true! If you take your dreams or anything you want to manifest in your life, and you push it as far as it will go. You will bring it into your life. I have done this many times in my life with success. When I met my husband, I had a vision of the man I wanted to come into my life. I got excited about it, I talked about it, watched movies about love and romance. I had a clear vision of what he would look and act like. And three months later I met him! It has instant. I knew it was the man I had dreamt of. When I become a mother, I focused on how to be the best Mom I could. I listened to advice from other mothers, read books and magazines. I learned songs, riddles and games to play and interact with them. I was always trying to learn more to make sure I made the memories I always dreamt of creating for my kids!  When I wanted to become an Interior Decorator, I read books, magazines and watched HGTV all day, every day. I took weekly field trips to model homes and spend an hour or so in each. I would stand on furniture to look at how they put their window treatments together, I would lift the custom bedding to see how they sewed the custom corners, and I took a million photos to get ideas and inspiration. I went to interior design shops, strolled through putting ideas together mentally. I went to fabric stores and stayed for hours putting colors, textures and designs together. I learned to sew, paint and redo furniture. I decorated my home and redecorated my home on a consistent basis. I talked to everyone that would listen about my passion, I give advice and helped people pick out design ideas to practice. I engulfed myself with my passion, my dream!




With each dream I pursued, I engulfed myself in thoughts of what I wanted, I felt the feeling in my heart of how it would feel if I had it and I created an action plan. Those are 3 things I always use when I want to manifest something in my life. I think about it, I feel the excitement about it, and I act upon it. Acting upon it is so important when you are using The Law Of Attraction. It is what gets the manifestation moving! I have had a lot of wonderful ideas that fizzled out because I didn't use all three at once. I either had the thought and.or the feeling and I didn't have the guts to act upon it or I didn't think I could make it happen or I was afraid of failure. The feelings of fear of failure and uncertainty create a blockage. Because remember in The Law Of Attraction it states that "thoughts create things" and "like attracts like". So my feelings of fear and uncertainty created a blockage in my path. Interesting, huh? So, when you want to create and manifest anything in your life, you need to check all three of those and find out where the block is. Adding as much gratitude as you can in any and all areas of your life further pushes your dreams into reality. Because your feelings are on the right vibe to attract the things you want. You can't expect to be upset all the time and go right into feeling the joy in your heart for something you want. It is too hard to swing from one feeling to the next. If you are continually practicing gratitude and you focus on your thoughts, feelings and actions of your dreams the swing from the state of gratitude to where you dream of going is a lot closer and easier to achieve, because you are in the vicinity of that feeling. Do you get it? If not, reread it until you do. It is a lot to take in and understand, I know.






Day 6 Challenge:

This challenge was a little hard for me at first. I thought it was a little silly. :) But I promised myself I would complete the whole 28 day challenge, so I pushed through this one! (I just realized as I was typing this that I used all three doing this challenge! I thought about going the The Magic Gratitude Challenge. I felt the feeling of how it would feel if I was able to become more grateful. And I followed through with the challenge! It is a great formula to follow! It works!) The author, Rhonda Byrne, asks us to go through out our work day and pretend there was an invisible manager following behind us taking notes about how grateful we are about our job. Every time you use gratitude through out your work day, your invisible manager will jot it down. You will say what he/she jotted down. Example: "I am so grateful for my work space. It is spacious!", "I am grateful for my co-worker, Shannon, she is so helpful!", "I am so thankful for my boss, who gave me a chance to advance in my career!". If you are a stay at home Mom or Dad, you would do it the same way with things you are grateful for as a homemaker! :) IF you have a negative thought or feeling about your work and/or home life. You reverse the thought or feeling by saying..."BUT, I am grateful for..." If it lands on your day off, you can move the challenge to another day. Or like I did, I just used my invisible manager at home. Where there is always work to be done and gratitude needed! ;) It is up to you, how you want to do it. 

When you use gratitude with anything that needs to be done, it not only makes the job easier and more rewarding. It creates the thought and feeling you need to get to where you wish to go in your career and/or home life. The next step would be the action. The action is created by the thought and feeling of success and pride in yourself. Which was realized through having the gratitude for your work and/or home life! Are you seeing the pattern? The more you are grateful, the more your thoughts, feelings and actions are in the right vibe for The Law Of Attraction to work! When you are excited about your work, you work harder and with ease and precision, you are then rewarded for your actions. The reward could be an advancement, a new path that opened up, a raise, more peace and more happiness. The ultimate reward is when you see your dreams come true! So make sure to really work on this challenge, it will help you create the life you dream of having!
