The Magic Mirror

Day 27 of the Challenge:

You possibly have spent a lifetime running away from yourself and your "so called" flaws, mistakes, and failures. You may have even chosen to look outside of yourself for happiness, love and contentment. You may also seem to find every single flaw, mistake and failure that others make because, you are focusing on the outside world, instead of focusing on yourself. The true beauty and essence inside of yourself and your world. 

By doing so, you never completely blossom into who you were meant to be and you struggle throughout your life needlessly. Your "so called" flaws, mistakes, and failures weigh your heart, mind and soul down, and then add in the fact, that you are searching for others flaws, mistakes, and failures, as well. You are a bundle of negative energy, only attracting more people, situations, and experiences to match up to that energy. Change the person staring back at you in the mirror and your whole life will change! Guaranteed! 

Go to the mirror right now and look at the person staring back at you. Say to the magic words, thank you, and give as much meaning to this practice as you can. Mean it as though you are looking at a beautiful, treasured friend. Say thank you for being who you are. Say thank you for all of it, the physical things you like about yourself, the traits and characteristics, even the experiences which have made you who you are today. All of the challenges, struggles, joys and accomplishments you have experienced. 

You are worthy of so much more than what you give yourself. You can easily thank another person with deep love and emotion, now it is time to do the same for yourself. Give yourself the respect and love that you give others. You are a true gift! 

Continue doing this practice every time you see your reflection today and make sure it is done with deep love and emotion. Once you get used to saying thank you to yourself, you could start saying three things you like about yourself, each time you look into the mirror. And anytime in the future you are not feeling good about yourself, you need to go to the mirror and say the magic words, thank you, and truly mean it. 


Once you begin to truly be grateful for yourself, you stop beating yourself up for your flaws, mistakes, and failures you make. You will be surprised how quickly your feelings about yourself will change. You will have value, respect and see the true beauty of your whole being. 

That gratitude for yourself then opens up new doors. Your happiness, confidence and contentment in yourself is like a magnet drawing in new experiences and people who are attracted to your positive energy. All because you chose to be grateful for the person staring back at you in the mirror. :)

Cue The Magic 


Day 25 of the Challenge:

I want you to imagine that the Universe is a good, kind, and loving place. And it wants you to achieve and become whatever you are meant to be. But the Universe can't just give you want you want, it uses the law of attraction to send you cues to help you achieve and create the life you were meant to have.

The Universe wants you to use the "feeling" of gratitude as a way to connect with the positive energy that the law of attraction wants to provide you. It uses people, experiences and day to day events as a cue to get your attention.

Here are a few examples of cues: (From the book, The Magic, by Rhonda Byrne)

• Hear an ambulance - magic cue to be grateful for your health.
• Police siren - magic cue to be grateful for safety and security
• See another person with the perfect weight you want - magic cue to grateful for your perfect weight
• See a romantic couple - your cue to be grateful for your perfect partner (even if he/she is not here yet, you need to be grateful now. As though you already have the relationship.)
• See a happy family - it is your cue to be grateful for your babies and children (even if you haven't had them yet, you need to be grateful now. As if you already have them.)
• When you see a bank or ATM - it is your cue to be grateful for money
• When you arrive home - it is your cue to be grateful for your home 
• When you see your neighbor - it is your cue to be grateful for your neighborhood
• If you happen to come across something that is on your vision board or desires list - it is your cue to be grateful for your desires now! (As though you already have it in your life!)
• When you hear someone say, "Good Morning!" - it is your cue to be grateful for a new morning!
• If you see someone joyful and happy - it is your cue to be grateful for happiness!
• If you overhear someone saying the magic words, thank you - it is your cue to say thank you!

The Universe is always cueing us to be grateful and when we do the law of attraction attracts to our feeling of gratitude and our positive energy. Poof...like that our life becomes richer and we experience the life that was intended for us. The magic is all in our feelings and how we use them. You hold the key to your own destiny! Powerful, huh?

Today, whenever you see or hear a cue, stop what you are doing and give thanks. Do this at least 7 times or as many times as you desire! The more the better!

Example: You see someone who is your perfect weight, say, "Thank you for my perfect weight!" or you hear the sound of children playing, say, "Thank you for my children!" (whether you have them yet or not.)

The more aware you become to life's cues, the more gratitude you will have and the more you will be aligned with the energy to attract your dreams and desires!

The Magic Wand 

Day 24 of the Challenge:  

The law of attraction states that, "energy goes where attention flows". So when you focus your energy on whatever needs your attention, you set into motion a strong force of energy that goes directly where you want it to. Not only can you do this in your own life, you can also do this in the lives of those around you, as well. Think of gratitude as a magic wand. By waving the invisible magic wand over the person who needs it, you send powerful positive energy their way.

If you know of someone who is in need of positive energy due to something they are struggling with, you can use today's practice to magically help them receive whatever they need.

Today you will focus on three people that need extra love and attention due to something they are dealing with. It could be that they are ill, are in trouble financially, or struggling with depression. Or it could be any combination of the three. You will be using the magic wand of gratitude to send them the positive energy they need to become whole again.

 


 You will need a photo of each person if you have one.  You will look at the photo or get a visual of their face in your mind. Then you will close your eyes and visualize yourself receiving the great news that they have been fully restored with whatever they needed. Feel as much gratitude and joy as you possibly can for them during this practice, as though you are truly hearing the great news. You will then open your eyes and look at the person's photo again or hold the visual of their face and say the words, thank you, slowly three times.

Example: Thank you, thank you, thank you for Christian's amazing and miraculous healing! I am so happy for her!!! (Feeling as much love and appreciation for the great news as you can!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for _________ ( add in expressive words, like complete, extraordinary, miraculous, etc) health, wealth or happiness.

You can also do this to complete strangers that seem to be lacking in health, wealth or happiness. You will visually wave the magic wand of gratitude over them, wishing them all the health, wealth and happiness they need to become whole again. Knowing that the positive energy you sent them will help set them on the path that they need.

Using gratitude to help others is the greatest act of gratitude you can practice. And by doing so, you not only help the other person, you magically set into motion energy that will bounce directly back to you. It is a "full circle experience"!!!

The Magical Air That You Breathe


Day 23 of the Challenge:

We never think about the air that we breathe. It is not something that comes to our mind, unless we are sick or having trouble breathing. I had never thought much about it until I read the book, The Magic, by Rhonda Byrne. It is a miracle to breathe, if you stop and really think about it. The oxygen that we breathe in feeds our cells through out our body, which in turn gives us life! Why wouldn't we be grateful for that?

Today you will take 5 deliberate breaths. Feel the feeling of the air filling up your lungs and moving through out of your body. As you are breathing out feel the joy and happiness that you feel. Do this five breath practice five different times during the day today. After you do each set of five breaths say the words, "Thank you for the magical air that I breathe." Making sure to be as grateful for the air as you possibly can.

If you can do this practice outside in the fresh air that would be wonderful, if it is not possible, do it inside. You can have your eyes opened or closed, you can be standing, walking or sitting, You can do it any way you feel comfortable. The most important thing is to truly FEEL the feeling of the air filling up your lungs and moving through out your body.

 You will breathe the way you normally breathe, this practice is more about having gratitude for the air that we breathe, than breathing a certain way. If taking a deeper breathe feels good than do that. Just make sure to feel comfortable doing the practice. If you want you can even make the sound or mentally say the words, thank you, as you are breathing out. You can try a variety of ways and see which one works for you.

The author, Rhonda Byrne, of the book, The Magic, says, "In ancient teachings it is said that when a person reaches the point of being deeply grateful for the air that they breathe, their gratitude will have reached a new level of power, they will have become the true alchemist, who can effortlessly turn every part of their life into gold!" That is a powerful and exciting statement, huh?

 Definitions - Alchemy - any process of transmuting a common substance, usually of little value, into a substance of great value. Alchemist - a person who practices Alchemy.

Before Your Very Eyes 

Day 22 of the Challenge: 


Your dreams and desires may seem like they are unobtainable and out of reach, but with this practice today you will amaze yourself. If you focus on something and visualize and feel what you want as it has already happened and has manifested into your life. And then add in action by acting upon your dreams daily. You will begin attracting things into your life!

Simple things like talking about it as though it is possible to anyone and everyone who will listen. Going to the places that inspire you and make you feel excited about your desire. Places that make you feel the way you would feel if it where true. Watching movies, shows and documentaries on the subject. Read about the subject online or in a book. Doing any and all things that bring that desire to the forefront of your mind. Where you are able to give it the energy it needs to manifest.

 The goal is to FOCUS, VISUALIZE (THOUGHTS), FEEL, and add in the most important ingredient, ACTION. This will work in all areas of your life, not just your dreams and desires. Your relationships, day to day situations and problems that arise...Remember those words and use them often. Some people who have used the law of attraction have not learned that the most important ingredient, which is action. They are thinking and feeling and not acting upon what they are thinking and feeling. It is a vital part to manifest things quicker into your life.

Today you will take your top ten desires list you have made and read through each one. For one minute each, you will visualize that your desire has already manifested in your life. Feeling as much gratitude as you can for each. 

Carry your desires list with you all day and read through them at least twice in the day, Visualizing and feeling as you did earlier. 

If you want your desires to manifest quickly, I would suggest you carry them with you every single day. When you have the time, go through the list often, making sure to visualize and feel them as though they have already manifested. 

When your desires manifest into your life mark them off your list and add new ones. Make sure to keep your lists. It is always great to look back and see what you have manifested into your life.  

 Make sure you do your 10 "Count Your Blessings" and add your Magical (Gratitude) Rock blessing from last night to the list!

Magnificent Outcomes


Day 21 of the Challenge:

We all want our lives to go well. For good outcomes to happen and to be blessed. We choose sayings like, " I hope that turns out.", "I am going to need a lot of luck to accomplish that!", or " I hope that works out for us." All these sentences are hoping for a good outcome. But life is not by chance, a fluke, or pure luck. The law of attraction says that "like attracts like", and is always working to match up your thoughts with things.

If you want Magnificent Outcomes you need to focus on the thoughts of how you want the situation to turn out and feel how good that will feel when it does.

You can use Magnificent Outcomes on a number of situations, here are a few ideas from the book. Remember to think and feel about how you want the outcome to go:

• a work meeting
• job interview
• exam
• phone call
• seeing family
• exercise something
• vet appointment
• medical/dental appointmnet
• electrician, plumber, or any tradesperson fixing a problem (Remember my free A/C work I talked about on Day 17's Magic Check? I used the Magnificent Outcome on it!)
• family outings 
• talk with your child about their behavior
• heart to heart with your partner
• a purchase you will be making (like a gift, a ring, wedding dress, new cell phone, carpets, drapes, and any home related item)
• restaurant, reservations, seats at a concert
• daily mail, emails, tax refund
• something unexpected happens (like my A/C breaking)

The things that are unexpected are the hardest to use the Magnificent Outcomes on. Because we jump to conclusions and immediately think fearful thoughts or thoughts of how things could go wrong.

If something unexpected happens you need to focus on the outcome that would be best in solving the problem. You will be surprised when you start using this and things magically transform for the better. I never thought about my A/C guy giving the service for free, but I did envision that he would fix it and the bill would be minimal. By focusing on that I attracted the free A/C work. And I have used the Magnificent Outcome practice ever since.

Most of the time you will see and feel the the Magnificent Outcome you envisioned, and other times you will not know how you benefited from the unexpected event. But when you use the Magnificent Outcome and feel sincere about the outcome, you are aligning with the law of attraction to create a better outcome. Remember not to be fearful as you are doing this practice. You need to drop all the fear and worry and focus on what you want to happen.

Once you start seeing outcomes turning out the way you envisioned or even turning out better than you expected, you will begin to trust in this practice more. It is like driving a car, once you trust that you can stop the car completely with the brakes, you will trust that your brakes will stop at a stop light. What if you drove your car and didn't have that security? You would not trust that they will work for you and would have fear. That is like life, if you are always fearful and looking for the worse, the worse will find you. You need to use this practice with trust that it will help you and believe that everything will work out perfectly.

Today you will think and list the three things that you want a Magnificent Outcome on. They can be current problems or situations you have or a boring activity that you need a better thought, feeling or action to happen.

You will write them as already happened. Like, "Thank you for the Magnificent outcome of _______________________!"

Second step in the practice, you are going to choose three unexpected things that come up today and use the Magnificent Outcome on them, as well. It could be a phone call, email, an unexpected errand, or anything that pops up.

Each time something unexpected pops up, close you eyes and mentally say and FEEL the magic words, "Thank you for the Magnificent outcome of _______________________!"

Don't just practice it today. You can never do this practice too much, use it all the time to bring better results to all your situations.

Heart Magic


Day 20 Challenge:

I have briefly talked about this in some of my previous posts. So, I am glad we are droving into this practice today. When you add gratitude into your thoughts, you create positive energy. That positive energy attracts the things that match up to your dominant thoughts. The more feeling you can add to your grateful thoughts, the quicker you will attract more good to you.

You will be focusing your mind on the area of the heart and feeling your heart fill up with as much love and appreciation as you can create. Eventually you will automatically feel gratitude deeply in your heart with all your thoughts. It takes time and practice.


Studies show that gratitude helps to calm the rhythm of the heart, which helps the immune system and body stay healthier. So that is another great reason to use gratitude!


To practice this heart magic, focus your attention around your heart. You can focus on the inside or outside of your body. You will close your eyes, keeping your mind focused on your heart, and mentally say the words, thank you. After a few practices, you will not always need to close your eyes to do this. But closing your eyes you will always feel more.

Here are a few different ways to get this practice down quickly.

• You could put your hand over your heart to stay focused while saying, thank you. 
• Or imagine the words, thank you, are coming out of your heart instead of your mind as you say them.

After you have practiced a few times we will go on to our practice. Take your top ten desires out  (from Day 13's practice ~ Make All Your Wishes Come True) and practice your Heart Magic on each desire. Read each desire and when you get to the end of each, close your eyes, focus your attention/mind continually around your heart, and say the words, thank you, slowly. Making sure to do one of the techniques bullet pointed above.

I would suggest you keep your top ten desires out and practice this on them frequently. It will help you manifest your desires quicker. And anytime you are saying thank you, using gratitude, or thinking positive thoughts, I would use Heart Magic on them to deepen your connection to your thoughts and desires. That will keep you aligned with the law of attraction to attract more of what you want into your life.

You will feel this working in different ways. Maybe a tingling around the heart, or a wave of happiness rush through you. You may tear up, get goosebumps or chills.  But most definitely you will FEEL a new depth or peace and happiness inside of you. 


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 Magnificent Outcomes (I use this daily in my own life!) If you have any questions, comments or suggestions you can email me @ ascreaminggoodlife@gmail.com!
