The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 18
The Magical To Do List
Day 18 Challenge:
When you learn the power of gratitude it is truly life changing. Gratitude is something that you can rely on to help support you through out your life. The more you lean on it for support, the more it will work for you. Every day there are little life problems that arise and need to be resolved. Sometimes we may feel overwhelmed with work, family and, day to day life.
You may feel stressed with the lack of time to do all the things that you want and need to do. You may have work pulling you one way and your home life pulling you another way. You may be a stay at home parent feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Not able to have time to yourself, let alone breathe. There are times when life throws problems at you that you need a solve. Or you have misplaced something you need to find.
There are those things that need your help to get done. Like trying to find a new sitter, a hairdresser, landscaper, or doctor. Or planning an event, party or holiday. You could be weighed down with invitations, commitments, or obligations. Or in a dispute with someone that needs the time and care to be resolved.
Today's Magical To Do List practice will help you with all your day to day problems and dilemmas. It magically helps you to get aligned with the universe to start marking off the ever growing to-do list. You will not know how it will happen or how it will get done. But the universe will find the right people and situations to help mark off your to-do list. All you have to do is make your list and feel grateful for each situation as though they are already completed.
You will write a to-do list with the most important things that need to be done. Title your list "Magical To Do List". You may want to put things on your list that you don't have time to do, don't want to do, along with any problems (big or small), and things that need to resolved. When you are done writing your list pick three problems you want to focus on today. One at a time think about each one being magically solved for you. Imagining the all right people and circumstances coming into your life to help solve your problems. Making sure to feel as grateful as you can for these people and circumstances.
You will spend one minute on each problem. Visualizing, feeling and believing the problems are resolved. You can work on the rest of your list another time. The more you read and work on your Magical To Do List the best results you will have. I look at my list daily and add more things to it that come up as I go. I love when things are resolved and I am able to mark it off my list! What a wonderful feeling!
The law of attraction says, "like attracts like", so you need to focus on gratitude for solutions, and not focus on the problems. The more you remember and use this, the better you will become at manifesting what you desire in your life.
A great example of how the author of The Magic, Rhonda Byrne's daughter used this practice is on the book on page 170-172. She had lost her wallet and instead of completely stressing out, she used this practice and visualized, felt and believed that her wallet was back in her hands. Her wallet magically came back to her and the story of how is amazing! Please, read it fully, it is a wonderful story!
You will do your daily 10 "Count Your Blessings" list and your "Magical Rock" moment
from yesterday. I will see you here tomorrow for Day 19 ~ The Magical Footsteps! As always you can email

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 17
The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 17
The Magic Check
Day 17 Challenge:
The law of attraction is such a powerful energy. It attracts to thoughts like a magnet, drawing in whatever experiences match up to it. If your thoughts are negative, you will attract more negativity into your life. If your thoughts are positive, you will attract more positivity into your life.
When it comes to negative thoughts it is usually a result of stress, anxiety and depression. Sometimes the stressful thoughts are a result of the lack of money. Money helps to support ourselves and our family. Money helps to put our children through college. Having money helps us create memories that last a life time and live the life that we dream of living.
When we are struggling with money, we become stressed, anxious and depressed. We have thoughts of worry, fear and disappointment. We may see others thriving and succeeding, which may make us feel envious, jealous and angry. All those feelings highlighted above are negative thoughts and feelings. By thinking and feeling them you are only attracting more future experiences like them. However difficult you have to ignore your negative thoughts and feelings about money and focus on gratitude to attract the life you want to have.
A great tip to remember when learning to use gratitude ~ You can't be grateful and negative at the same time. So you can't be feeling grateful for money and be worried about money at the same time. Or even be grateful for money and feeling fearful of money at the same time. The two feelings will not work together. That really helped me in the beginning when learning to apply gratitude to attract the things I desired. I knew I was aligning myself perfectly with the universe when I was feeling grateful. And I knew I wasn't aligned when I felt negative. I continually started realigning and realigning until it became more natural to think positive thoughts first.
You have attracted money into you life numerous times. You may not of realized it at the time but you did. We have to be grateful for all forms of money each time they come into our life. To be able to attract more frequent experiences in the future. So being more aware of all the forms of money that come into your life is important. Here is a list of many examples...
Money can come to you: (examples of the book)
The list could go on and on, but it will open your eyes to the idea what all forms of money means. Most likely you have had one of these experiences happen to you and little had you know you attracted them to you! Most may call it luck, but it is actually the law of attraction at work. Once you wrap your head around the opportunities that you have available, you will be wanting to use gratitude all the time. The more you do, the more good experiences you will attract guaranteed.
On to today's fun challenge!
Today you will write a out a magical check for any amount you want. You will fill it out with your name and the date. Think about what you want to spend it on. You will be more grateful for the money when you know what you want to spend it on. Because money is just a means to getting what you want, but it is not the end result. What we use the money for is the end result. You can find the magic check in the book or online. If you use the one in the book you will photocopy or scan the check from the book or you can go to www.thesecret.tv/magiccheck and print them out. You will be doing this practice more than once. Especially if you see results like I did!
I would suggest you start out writing a smaller amount at first. By doing a smaller amount you will know when you receive the money that you did it and the magic of gratitude helped you manifest it into your life. And then continue to increase the amount each time. I would also suggest that you really get into the belief that you can manifest money into your life. Focus on this magic check as much as possible today (and the days and weeks ahead.) You will hold the check in your hands and think about what you want the money for. Get a picture of it in your head and visualize yourself actually purchasing it. Feeling the feeling of how good it would feel. The more excited and grateful you can get the better.
After you complete the steps above place the check somewhere where you will see it often. At least two times today you will again hold that check in your hands and visualize how you will spend the money. Making sure to feel as excited and grateful as you can. I would suggest you do it more than twice, the more times a day you can do this the better. At the end of the day, either kept the check where you had it or move it to another place where you will see if often. Making sure each time you see it you go through the steps of thinking about the purchase and feeling the gratitude and excitement for it.
After you receive what you wanted, you can replace it with a new check for something else you want. You can continue this practice as long as you want. Now I want to share my story from my first 28 day challenge. I wrote my check out for $260.00 because my sons and I wanted new smart phones and that was going to be the monthly price. I really got into this challenge. I followed the instructions in the book and really felt the feeling of it being a real check and that the money was on it's way.
About two hours after I wrote it I received a text from my dear neighbor. She wanted to know if the boys or I wanted to watch her sons a few hours in the morning 3 to 4 days a week during the summer. I got back to her and said the boys would be able to and that I would fill in when needed. I asked her how much it would be and she said around $240.00 or more a month! I was shocked it was so close to the $260.00! A few hours later my oldest son walks in the kitchen as I was making the grocery list. He handed me $20.00 and said put it toward dinner tonight. He rarely gives me money without me asking. I knew it was the law of attraction working! I was sold from that day on! BUT there is more!
So, five days longer I woke up sweating, the whole house was humid and clammy. The A/C wasn't working properly. I would normally be stressed about the money, but the day before I had the Day 21 challenge, Magnificent Outcomes, and I was more optimistic. So I decided to put into practice what I had learned on this normally stressful situation. I called the A/C guy we used a month before. He came right out to the house, which was a "Magnificent Outcome" in itself! lol!
When he was done he came in and said it was the compressor. I didn't understand that because I thought they had just replaced that part last month when he came out. He thought they had done another part (something to do with the motor). I was very calm about it, (because I was using the Magnificent Outcomes) but wanted to make sure I was not paying for something I just paid for. He politely said he would go back to the office to check the records and he would get back to me.
He called soon after and said that we were both right! He had came out a month ago and replaced the compressor. My husband called him back two hours later that same day, saying that the A/C was still not working. So they came back and took the new compressor off and put our old compressor back on and put on the new part. So, he went on saying, that he wanted to just give me the service for free to make sure I was a happy customer. I was so happy indeed! So as we were hanging up he said he would write out a mock receipt that we had paid $260.00 cash for his files and send me that receipt. I was blown away! I received the $260.00 twice in less than a week! I was more than sold this time, I was confident that I helped to manifest this into my life with gratitude and the right attitude.
By using both practices, the "Magic Check" and the "Magnificent Outcomes" I was able to align myself to where I received what I desired. I hope all of you take what you learn from this challenge and use it to create the life you dream of. Like anything in life the more you practice, the better you will become at it. And when you stumble or feel discouraged just realign with gratitude and continue on.
You will do your daily 10 "Count Your Blessings" list and your "Magical Rock" moment from yesterday. I will see you here tomorrow for Day 18 ~ The Magical To Do List! As always you can email me with any questions, comments and suggestions at ascreaminggoodlife@gmail.com! I love hearing from you!

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 16
The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 16
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!
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! If you have any questions, comments or suggestions email me @ ascreaminggoodlife@gmail.com!

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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 15
The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 15
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

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
- (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).
- ______, 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.
- ______, 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.
- ______, 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!

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 14
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...
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.
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!
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!

The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 12
The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 12
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!
