Magic And Miracles In Health

Day 16 Challenge:


We should feel happy, healthy, alive and well all of the time. But the reality of it is most people don't feel well. They are dealing with a multitude of ailments. Like diseases, anxiety, depression and exhaustion. Gratitude is the key to reverse this epidemic. There have been countless studies where it is proven that gratitude's power helps to assist the body and mind to heal itself. Adding gratitude in with your health, nutrition, and medical advice is the best medicine you could receive!

You are going to do three simple practices today. One for your past, one for your present and one for your future health and happiness. Take the time to do this and add this to the list of practices to continue. It is a powerful practice! And will be beneficial in keeping you happy, healthy, alive and well!

1. Past ~ Think about the times when you felt the healthiest throughout your childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Now think about when you were your happiest and were full of energy. Go as far back as you need throughout your life to find the biggest moments in your life that you felt your happiest, healthiest and most energized! Remember three different times when you felt one of these feelings and say the words, thank you, for each one. Make sure that you FEEL the gratitude for each one filling up your heart and overflowing with love and appreciation.
2. Present ~ Think about the health you currently have right now. FEEL THANKFUL for your healthy body. Think about all your body parts, organs, systems, and senses that are working well for you. Think about your arms, legs, hands, eyes, ears, kidneys, liver, heart and brain. What a blessing and one we should feel thankful for every single day. Choose five body functions that are working well for you and say, THANK YOU, for each. Making sure to FEEL how thankful you are. 
3.  Future ~ You are going to choose one thing you wish to change about your body today. Think about the ideal state of which you wish your body to be and what you want to improve. You will give thanks for that ideal state. Making sure you FEEL gratitude as you do it. By doing this practice you are setting in motion the law of attraction. Remembering that like attracts like and thoughts become things. Allow yourself to let go and really get into this practice. This is about your life and your life so important.

So often when someone becomes ill and is diagnosed with a disease they focus and obsess over it. They think about, talk about it, they research about the symptoms and possible frightening outcomes of the disease. By focusing on the disease you are only making the disease worse. In the law of attraction it states that you can't make any problem go away by focusing on the problem. You need to do the reverse. Focus on the ideal state you wish your body to be in and give your thoughts and feelings to that, not the disease! 

Do you remember the story I told you on Day 4's Magical Health Challenge about the two women about the same age, who had the same disease. One complained. She talked about how sick she was to anyone who would listen. She thought about how unfair it was that she was so sick and others around her were well. She was angry at the world and had fearful and depressing thoughts. The other woman was optimistic yet, still in pain. She spoke words of healing, being well and visualized herself overcoming her disease. The one that complained died 1 year later. The one that was optimistic, recovered and has been well for over 10 years now! So as you see - Our thoughts do matter! 


Gratitude is so powerful and when you begin to use and learn it's powers you will be blessed tenfold. Take one minute to visualize the ideal state you wish your body to be in. You don't have to struggle with this practice. Just have the thought of your ideal state in your mind, feel the feeling of how it would FEEL if it were true and be completely grateful for it. I would do this as often as you can to get your mind focusing on the ideal state and not the state that you are in. Only focus on the ideal state and let the doctors worry about the rest. 

If you want to heal your heart feel grateful for a strong and healthy heart that helps to keep you alive and helps your organs function. If you have arthritis, see and feel yourself completely flexible. See yourself moving, running and enjoying the life you want with absolutely no pain. If you want to improve your weight, see yourself slim, fit and active. Feel how good it feels. If you are struggling with anything by changing your thoughts and feelings and feeling the gratitude for it you are doing your part, let the law of attraction do the rest of the work. It is not your job to know how it will happen. So don't worry about the how's, the how's will come.


You should practice this daily and do it several times a day for the law of attraction to work the way you want it to. Whatever you focus on you get. So focus on what you want a lot! When you do have a negative thought or feeling about your health or body reverse it with this practice. For one minute after each negative thought or feeling visualize your ideal state as though you already have it. Now FEEL how good it feels and how grateful you are for it (making sure to fill your heart up and have it overflow with love and appreciation.) You may have to do it several times before your thoughts go to health and well-being instead of the disease.

The two best ways to continue good health and have the body you desire is by taking good care of yourself physically and to be completely GRATEFUL for the health you do have. Gratitude is the key to the life you want! I promise that if you give the energy to where you want it to go you will be blown away by the changes you manifest. Because like attracts like and thoughts definitely become things! 


You will write your daily 10 "Count Your Blessings" list and write your "Magical Rock" moment from last night, as well! Tomorrow we are talking about MONEY and I will share my story about manifesting $260 twice in one week, this story still gives me goosebumps!

 Magically Heal Your Relationships

Day 15 Of The Challenge:

   Relationships make our lives richer. But when you are struggling with a difficult relationship it can be devastating and heart breaking. You may be struggling to repair a broken relationship or heal from one that is not repairable. Or you may have lost a loved one through a death that you were not ready to let go of. Especially one that had unfinished business that needed to be resolved. It could be a marriage, a boyfriend or a girlfriend, a mother or a father, a sibling, a distant relative or a friend. Or maybe a business relationship like a boss, a co-worker, an employee or a client.

There are usually feelings of pain, resentment and blame. These feelings make it hard to find any gratitude for anything, let alone a close relationship. Because you are too busy holding on to all the pain, resentment and blaming the other person for hurting you so deeply. It is very human to do this. Pain and resentment is hard to deal with. What you are doing is just trying to find relief from it all. But when you use gratitude as a tool to heal your heart. It can transform you virtually overnight. Whether it is a current relationship or a past relationship. You can use this to heal any relationship and yourself. If it is a past relationship, it will release you so you can move on completely without attachment to the pain and loss. If you are still in the relationship it can change your feelings toward the relationship, so you can focus on what needs to be done to heal the relationship or be able to move on from the relationship in a healthier way.

What most people don't know is that when you have these negative feelings you are actually harming yourself more than the other person. You are also setting your future up for more bad feelings to come. It is the law of attraction's job to match whatever primary thoughts and feelings you have.

Today you are going to pick one relationship that you are struggling with and find 10 things you are grateful for in that relationship. It can be a past or present relationship. Think back on the good parts of the relationship. The good qualities that they have, the good memories you both shared or anything positive you can come up with about the other person. The easiest way to do this is to go back to before the relationship started to weaken. If the relationship was never good you will just have to think of moments you saw their greatness. We all have something that makes us valuable, so think hard and you will come up with them.

This challenge is not about how badly they hurt you. Or about who is right or wrong. It is not even about the other person as much as it is about yourself. The magic is that by doing this challenge you are healing yourself and through doing that you ultimately heal the relationship or are able to let go of the relationship and the pain attached. The best part is you don't need the other person to help heal you or the relationship.

Every relationship we have is here to teach us something. Even the ones that are painful are valuable to our live. They teach us so many life lessons that we end up growing into a better person for having to endure that kind of pain and suffering. We become stronger, more aware of life around us, and how fragile life is. And we learn to value our self more in the process.

Really dig deep into this challenge because it is such a good one to help move you forward into becoming who you are meant to be. You will be amazed at how good you will feel after completing this challenge. If you don't you will continue to do this practice daily until you have no bad feelings about the relationship. Because remember we are doing this challenge to change our thoughts and feelings, so we can attract what we do want in our life.

And lastly, any time you have bad feelings about any relationship (close or not), this practice is so important to do. It will help you to stay on course and continue attracting the life you do desire. We all have times when someone really gets to us. But if you continue this practice with each problem that arises, you will eliminate problems before they escalate. And ultimately train yourself to steer clear of negativity and stay on course naturally! 

 Here are a few examples to get your mind thinking:


Example #1: Your ex-husband or ex-wife

1. (their name)______, I am grateful to you for our children. Without you I would not be blessed with them. (You will get to the point where you are grateful for them every time you look at your children. You just have to get past the pain first).
2. ______, thank you for our marriage. Though it ended there were good times we shared. I learned and grew a lot from the pain. I am wiser and have more self worth and I value all my other relationships in my life more for having to go through such a difficult experience.
3. ______, I am grateful for you working and letting me stay home with my children. I was able to see them walk and talk for the first time. I know now that was a gift.
4. ______, I am thankful you were there for me when I lost my Mom. It was such a difficult time and you gave me the love and support I needed to heal. Thank you, thank you, thank you for that! 

You get the idea. So, take your time and dig deep to find 10 things to be grateful for! Make sure you do your 10 "Count Your Blessings" and add your Magical (Gratitude) Rock blessing from last night to the list! Tomorrow we will talk about the "Magic & Miracles Of Health"!

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 14

Have A Magical Day

Day 14: Have A Magical Day 


To have a magical day you will be grateful for your entire day before it happens. You will be thinking about your list of things to do for the day and saying, thank you, for each one going smoothly before you have even accomplished them. It only takes a few minutes to run through your list of things to do. But the difference it makes on your whole day is amazing! I have been doing this challenge for over a month now and my days are running smoother than they ever have before! Using this challenge each morning helps you put the law of attraction on the right track to bring you the day you desire. The more that I have used this, the better I am at doing it!

It is our thoughts that hold us back. We subconsciously think the worst thoughts about what could go wrong or how miserable we feel about what we may have to do. We procrastinate, we moan and groan, and we go out into the world bringing our negative thoughts and feelings with us. But when we sit each morning and go over our day and our list of things to do, we see how the day should go in our minds (thoughts) and feel how great it will be! It changes your thoughts and feelings to a more positive one. You suddenly have more energy and feel better about tackling your day.

Think about a time when you woke up in a bad mood. You went out into your day and one thing after another went wrong. You didn't know it but your bad mood set your whole day up for failure. It is your mood (thoughts and feelings) that started your day off wrong. That is the law of attraction at work. You also may not know that most of the time when you wake up in a bad mood it is because you went to bed in a bad mood, whether you knew you did or not. Sometimes your subconscious (habitual - meaning habit) mind is thinking and feeling about things that are weighing on your mind. Negativity that had affected you earlier in the day. Or something you have been worried about for a long time. That is why we do our Magical Rock challenge. By doing the Magical Rock challenge each night, you go through your whole day to find the best moment of your day. It forces you to scan your memory for all the good things that are happening in your life. You then go off to sleep and marinate in those thoughts and feelings all night. When you wake up in the morning you then do your 10 "Count Your Blessings" gratitude list. By doing both your "Magical Rock" and your "Count Your Blessings" gratitude list you are setting yourself up for a great start. But by adding today's challenge you are assuring yourself even more success! 

 Whether you are doing chores around the house, running errands, exercising, helping someone out, going to an important meeting, traveling across the country or going to work. By thanking your day ahead of time and feeling the feeling of how good it will feel to accomplish your list of to do's, you are creating the vibration to bring more good things into you life. It is a full circle experience! 


If you are a list maker you can go down your list saying, thank you, for each one and visualizing each one successfully being accomplished. Making sure to work your way through your entire day (morning, afternoon, evening). Really get into the visualization and FEEL how good it would feel as though you have already lived it. If you are someone who thinks about their day in their mind, you will take some time in the morning to go through your list mentally doing the same thing. Make sure to do this morning practice in one session. When you do this daily practice you will start to notice that your days are going smoother with less and less stress and worry and that you feel more peaceful, happier and more content. 

 Use expressive words like wonderful, amazing, super easy, successful, awesome, effortless, thrilling, peaceful, relaxing, the best, joyous, etc. Example: "Thank you for the best family get together ever. It was amazing and memorable!" The more expressive you get the more you will FEEL it! If you can say this out loud that is even better if not just make sure to feel them!
 

After you finish thanking your list of to do's you will end the practice by saying, "Thank you for the BEST news ever today!" By doing this you are opening the door (the law of attraction door) to even more wonderful miracles! You will be amazed when you start seeing more and more great news come into your life! You will know that it is a sign that the law of attraction is working for you.




You will write your daily 10 "Count Your Blessings" list and your "Magical Rock" moment. I will see you back here tomorrow! If you have any questions, comments or suggestions email me @ ascreaminggoodlife@gmail.com!

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 13

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 13


Make All Your Wishes Come True 


Day 13: Make All Your Wishes Come True


If you have been doing the daily challenges everyday, you should be feeling it working in your life. The more intensely you practiced, the more you will feel it working in your life.Today we are going to put all those practices to use. You are going to start working on bringing your dreams and desires into your life.The law of attraction states the "like attracts like" and "thoughts create things", which means you must create a likeness or thought of what you want in your mind. And then to attract those desires you MUST feel as though those thoughts are already here, that you already have the dreams and desires you want. The key to doing this challenge is FEELING the gratitude for what you are imagining as already here. By using the power of gratitude you hold the keys to making your dreams a reality!

  ~~~~~~~~~~~FEELING GOOD!~~~~~~~~~~~




Gratitude is what you do before you receive anything in life. We are trained to only give gratitude after receiving something. But the real magic is when you use it before and after you receive something. By being completely grateful you are staying in the vibration that attracts the things you desire into your life. The best part about this is that is all you have to do to make your dreams come true. It is as easy as 1 2 3...

1. You MUST FEEL as though your dreams and desires already exist.
2. You MUST FEEL gratitude for them as though they exist.
3. You MUST STAY with the thought and feeling and truly believe that it is true. 

The rest will magically be done for you. You will not know when you will receive it and that is not your job to worry about. Your job is to create the thought and feeling.

Okay do you remember in the beginning where I asked that you write down ALL of your desires? I asked you to get very clear on what you wanted. I told you I had to scramble to get it done because I didn't complete mine. So I could move forward in the challenge. I wrote 15 pages in complete detail of how I saw my life and the things I wanted to come true. If you didn't complete yours you will do so now. I suggest you really get clear on what your dreams are and take it very seriously. It may not take you 15 pages, but make it very clear...detail by detail of what you want.  Like you are ordering your life from a catalog or menu! Have fun and let your imagine take over! Here are a few ideas to get you started.

• Health and body (for you and your family)
• Money
• Career 
• Relationships (all of them)
• Personal desires (get creative here)
• Material things (dream home, cars, clothing, anything material that you dream of having!)
• Hobbies/Passions (think of all the things you have longed to do)
• Travel (where you want to go, how you want to get there)
• Family (anything you dream of...get togethers, closeness, etc)
• Spiritual/Religion 
• Pets & Animals ( I have always wanted a horse, cow and pig. I guess a farm! LOL So I added that to my list!)

  The list could go on and on. Sit in a quiet place and get creative and most of FEEL excited as you are creating your list. Please don't feel silly. Open your heart and really do this challenge! This is your future you are creating, it is serious business! It is fun, but serious!


After you have your list, look through them and pick your top 10 desires. This is kind of like how we do the Magical Rock moment each night. We have to pick the ones that mean the most! That doesn't mean you don't or won't get your other desires. When you choose your top 10 desires. You will sit down and write them out as though you have already received them! Like this...


Thank you, thank you, thank you for our dream home which has everything we wanted right down to the last detail! (FEELING the feeling as though it exists!)


Thank you, thank you, thank you for my completely healthy body, I am so active, fit and feel so alive and well! (FEELING the feeling as though it exists!)


Thank you, thank you, thank you for doubling our sales figures this month!!! (FEELING the feeling as though it exists!)


Writing thank you three times is so powerful! It prevents you from throws the words away and makes you focus on them more. Concreting them in your mind!


Now it is time to saturate your desires with even more gratitude. (If you need to you can come back later on in the day or do them right after you complete your top ten list.) To saturate each of your desires with gratitude you will start with the first desire and using your imagination you will answer these questions as though you have already received them!

1. What emotions did you feel when you received your desire? (FEELING the feeling as thought it already exists!)
2. Who was the first person you told when you received your desire, and how did you tell them? (FEELING the feeling as though it truly happened!)
3. What is the first great thing you did when you received your desire? Include as much detail as you can in your mind. (FEELING the excitement of what you first did!!)

Finally reread each desire and really emphasize the words, THANK YOU, so that you feel the feeling of the gratitude for it.


Another great idea is to create a Magic Board (Vision Board), where you attach pictures of your desires. You can print them out or cut them out of magazines. Place the board where you will see it often. Also place the words THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU in bold letters on the board. You can use your refrigerator as a board, as well. If you have children have them help create the board. They love doing it! Children are innately more in tune with the law of attraction because they use their imagination more frequently! Imagine that everything you place on the board is magically moving closer to you. FEEL the feeling as you pin each one up. Your continued gratitude will magnetize all your desires into you life. Look at your board several times a day, FEELING the feeling as though they exists!

Make sure you do your 10 "Count Your Blessings" and add your Magical (Gratitude) Rock blessing from last night to the list! Tomorrow we will talk about having A MAGICAL DAY! If you have any questions, comments or suggestions you can email me @ ascreaminggoodlife@gmail.com!

Magical People Who Make A Difference


Day 12: Magical People Who Make A Difference


 I am a little late posting today's challenge. I have been under the weather. I was a little worried about not being able to post until I remembered this quote...

So, I am thankful. I did yesterday's challenge from my bed. I thanked all the things in my life. I thanked simple, everyday things like my bed, my sheets and my cozy pillow. I thanked my big, bright, beautiful bathroom...And my oh so glorious bathtub, oh how I love my bathtub! I thanked my three sons who helped me by bringing me ice cold water, medication, for rubbing my sore neck and putting up with me moaning and crying. I thanked my a/c that kept me cool as I bundled up under a pile of blankets. I even went through Day 4's challenge about health as I laid there. I thought about how blessed I am to be so healthy and well. I thanked my wonderful immune system for working so hard to heal me quickly, so that I could resume my normal life. I thought about what I wanted to do with my healthy body once I was feeling better and how good it would feel doing it! We take our day to day life for granted so easily. So, this 28 day challenge is helpful in remembering why we are here and to be thankful for what we have. Okay, now on to the challenge!

We all have people who have been by our side during difficult times. Some who have lifted us up and inspired us to push through our fears and achieve goals we didn't know we could achieve. And some who have rekindled a passion within us by showing us their own greatest. And in seeing their greatest we also see that same potential greatest inside of our self. Sometimes that person alters your life forever. Sometimes it is so small that we do not even recognize it's effect on our life until later on down the road it's greatness is realized.


I can remember so many people who have given me the strength and wisdom I needed to push forward and become who I was suppose to be. They were like guides who I followed and emulated down life's path. I had some that guided me to be a better wife and mother. And others who gave me a passion to pursue my dreams fearlessly and with a strong knowing that I could be just as great as they are. I have had people who just gave me a smile and a kind word on my darkest day that lifted me out of the darkness and into the light. There are so many people that have made a difference in who I have become. And so many more to come.

Day 12 Challenge:


Today you will find a quiet time to list 3 people who made a difference in your life. Go down the list and talk out loud to each person telling them the reasons you are grateful for them and how they affected your path in life.


Once you are done you will feel your heart overflowing with love and happiness! It feels so good to remember who has touched your life and why. This challenge is also changing your future as well. Remember our thoughts and feelings are creating our future! So, you are setting your future experiences up to be more joyful, happy and content!


Another twist to this challenge that I added in is to remember times that you have been a light in someone else's path. And to continue being that light for people in the future! We all have something to give and lives to touch!

You will write your daily 10 "Count Your Blessings" list and your "Magical Rock" moment. I will see you back here tomorrow! If you have any questions, comments or suggestions email me @ ascreaminggoodlife@gmail.com!

A Magic Morning

Day 11: A Magic Morning

The best way to start your day off is through gratitude. Incorporating gratitude in your morning is easy and simple to do. And the great thing about this daily gratitude challenge is it will not slow your morning down. You will start your new morning routine when you first wake up by giving thanks. Your life is a gift, every single day you have is a gift. Why wouldn't we give thanks for such a beautiful gift?

  Today as soon as you wake up you will say the words, 'Thank You!" As your feet hit the floor again say, "THANK YOU!" You will continue to go through out your morning giving thanks for everything.

Here are some ideas to give thanks for:

• Your good night's sleep ~ If you have a good night's rest be thankful!
• Your bed, sheets, blanket ~ If you have these you are so blessed to have these essential things!
• Towels, hand towels, wash clothes~ If you have towels you are blessed!
• Your bathroom ~ If you have a toilet, a bath and/or shower, sink with fresh, clean water...It makes your life so much more comfortable. There are some who don't have a functioning bathroom and your ancestors had to go outdoors. We often take this luxury for granted. 
• Toiletries ~ Your shampoo, conditioner, hair products, toothbrush and toothpaste, make-up.
• Your wardrobe ~ If you have a choice when it comes to dressing, you are blessed! 
• Breakfast & coffee ~ If you have food to eat and coffee to wake you up. You are blessed!
• Appliances ~ If you have a dishwasher, a refrigerator, an oven, a microwave, a washer & dryer. You are blessed to have these time savers. Imagine having to hand wash everything, having to cook you food over a fire, and having to worry about spoiled food! We have so much to be thankful for! 
• Electricity ~ If you have electricity, you are so blessed. You have lights, plug outlets, a/c and heating. Your electricity helps you stay comfortable and helps you use things like alarm clocks, radios, TV's, hair dryers, blenders, appliances...to name a few.

As you go through your routine today give thanks for everything you touch, see, and think about! There is no such thing as too much gratitude! You will do your daily 10 "Count Your Blessings" list and your "Magical Rock" moment. I will see you back here tomorrow!

Magic Dust Everyone


Day 10: Magic Dust Everyone

Gratitude is so powerful that when used correctly and with deep feeling it can move mountains, mend bridges and heal a lifetime of pain and suffering. It is said that when you give your full attention to something or someone with an open heart filled with gratitude, it will be returned to you with even more of what you originally had given. I have seen miracles happen, lives transform and love renewed. Gratitude is a powerful feeling and wherever you direct that feeling is where it goes. The author of The Magic, Rhonda Byrne, has a fun way to visualize directing gratitude toward anyone or anything. She suggests that you think of gratitude as a magic dust. When you want to direct your gratitude toward anyone or anything, you visualize literally magic dusting whatever you are focusing your energy on.

Most of us come in contact with many people through out our day. Either face to face, on the phone and through the internet. Some are a part of our life and others drift in and out of our lives. Some bring us joy and happiness, others we feel like we could do without. There are many that give service to us and our life without us stopping and appreciating their services. Like the young lady who served you at the local pub, the gentleman who took your cell phone payment over the phone and the boy who delivers your local newspaper to your front door. There are so many people who serve us on a daily basis. Supermarkets, gas stations, restaurants, dry cleaners, electricians, plumbers and remodeling contractors. There are even people we don't see that work behind the scenes. The janitors who clean public facilities, the stockers who stock our shelves at our favorite stores, the people that help build our roads, the list could go on and on. We can't thank all of them personally. But we can say, "thank you" and visually "magic dust" them, directing the powerful feeling of gratitude toward them. When you are out in public you can use the magic dust to dust everyone who serves you.

 The opportunities to magically dust is endless. Like your lunch break at a local restaurant. Magic dust the hostess who seats you, the server who serves you, the manager who cordially asks how your meal was, the busboys who clean the tables after we are done with our meal and the chefs who make the delicious food that we eat. When you are at the super market, magic dust the produce department for organizing and keeping the produce area tidy, the butcher who cuts your steak a certain way, the checkers who check you out and the baggers who help bag and load your groceries in the car. In traffic you can magic dust the person who lets you in her lane to be able to exit off the highway, the police officer who directs the traffic to help it run more smoothly and even the driver who looks like he is having a bad day may need a little magic dusting, as well. We need to remember that not all the experiences we have are as pleasant as others. And not every person we encounter will be joyous and happy. Remembering that The Law Of Attraction is ALWAYS working, you need to always show up with an open heart filled with gratitude even when it seems a little hard to do.

Your gratitude can not depend on the actions of others. It may be helpful to think about what might be going on in the other person's life. They may be going through something that is so painful and tragic that they are taking it out on the world. They may of lost a loved one, going through a heartbreaking divorce, have a life threatening disease or struggling to find work in this economy. There are many factors that can cause people to act rudely and unjust. By thinking those possible scenarios you will help yourself focus on staying in the magical world of gratitude. To further strengthen your positive foundation you are building up, think about everyone you come in contact with as someone's beloved child, sibling, parent or friend. That person is deeply loved by someone else. I seem to never get upset at teenage boys and young men, I know it is because I have three sons about that age. I imagine them being in the other person's shoes and my heart becomes sympathetic and fills up with love and understanding.

 I have moved that love and understanding into other situations. And make sure to remember that every person I encounter is someone's loved one. Like the grumpy old man around the corner. He always has a scowl on his face and looks miserable. I magic dust him a lot and I even wave knowing he will not return the gesture. I am doing it because I know the secret to life. The secret is it all lies in me and my journey here on earth is to love without expecting love back. To give without feeling like I need something in return. To be an example of what God wants us all to be. Pure love and kindness. I am not a door mat either. I don't allow people to run over my kindness. My kindness is strength, wisdom and love all rolled into one. By not expecting things you don't get disappointed and upset. You are not worried if someone responds to your kind gestures. You are complete and whole because you know your own value.

When saying thank you remember to be expressive and to let the other person FEEL that you are truly grateful. Look them in the eyes and say something like, "Thank you so much for your help! You made my day!", "Thank you for going out of your way to help me, it means a lot to me!", "Thank you for understanding the importance, you made this a lot easier for me!" If you are on the phone or through email, you can just use your words to express your appreciation. Use magic dust for everything you are grateful for, things that need extra love and attention and to think positive thoughts about the future. In the book, the author, Rhonda Byrne, magic dusts her daughter as she is leaving to drive back home, thinking about her safe arrival as she is doing it. She sprinkles magic dust on a project before starting it. The possibilities of using this visual exercise is virtually endless!

 

Today you will magic dust a least 10 people that serve you. It doesn't matter if you see them in person or over the phone or even just visualizing times that people have served you recently or behind the scenes. Here is an example.

Example: "I'm really grateful for the janitors who worked through the night to make sure that my office building was clean and ready for a new day. The restrooms are spotless, the furniture is all dusted and the floors are mopped and vacuumed. I never thought about how grateful I am for this service they provide me. Which is done without expecting appreciation or gratitude. Thank you for your service, janitors!"

Really be visual when sprinkling your magic dust. See them glistening with the dust. FEEL the power of the dust working in their life and yours. Knowing that this magic dust is really working and is so powerful!

When you get some time today sit and write 10 different instances where people have gone above and beyond for you. As you are writing, visualize yourself dusting each person for their kind service.

Tomorrow is  Day 11 "Magical Morning". Read through it today because we will be doing the challenge when we first wake up! I will try to post Day 11 Challenge today for those who don't have the book. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please email me @ ascreaminggoodlife@gmail.com! I want to personally thank each and every one who is doing this challenge! I love reading your gratitude lists and hearing about how this challenge has changed your life! Keep the emails, comments and phone calls coming! It is magic dusting me! Lol! ;)
