I used to hate reading. In high school, if there was a movie version of the book I had to read, I choose the movie. It didn’t occur to me back then that movies did have the exact same story line as the book it was based on. It was only after getting the results of a grade 12 English test that I learned there were sometimes major differences in the Hollywood version. My reading aversion was one of the main reasons I chose math as my degree… no reading there, just solid numbers and problems.

It wasn’t until I started studying and learning from highly successful people that I learned the one habit they all have in common… they all read a LOT of books. Reading was a daily routine for them and they would complete about a book a week. I soon adopted this habit and quickly expanded my knowledge.

During my free time, if I wasn’t reading, I was listening to audio books and audio programs. I turned my car into a university. Instead of listening to the radio in the car, I chose to learn. Instead of watching t.v. some nights, I chose to read. The knowledge I gained began setting me apart from others in my field. People drive on average of an hour a day. In one week that’s 7 hours of learning time. In a month that’s 30 dedicated hours to learning! Successful people use their time efficiently and they never stop learning.

I recently watched the Las Vegas show the Mentalist, with Gerry McCambridge. He is an amazing magician, entertainer and mentalist. At the end of the show I asked him “How did you learn how to do that?” his response, “I read a lot of books”.

Reading has become one of my favorite pastimes. But, some things do remain the same, I still would choose watching the movie vs. reading the book… I have watched the Harry Potter series but have never read any of the books. I hear I’m missing out but I’m too busy reading the other books that haven’t made it on the big screen yet!

Manifestation Secret: Power of Focus

I have been a manifestation queen in the last few months.  It’s been so fun and exciting discovering what my mind has created.  Just last month, when I read Dan Brown’s “Lost Symbol”, I thought, “I would love to meet a Free Mason and a member of the Eastern Star.” Having never met a Free Mason in my life, I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to make this happen.

Just last week, I met two people within both organizations.  We had people over for dinner and games and my jaw dropped when I found out they were members.  I knew without a shadow of a doubt, that my thinking, my request to the Universe attracted that situation.

You’d think that after years of practicing manifestation, I would be less surprised, but I never stop getting excited about something that I have created just by putting a thought or request out into the ethers.

You see, I’ve trained my brain to think in a way that allows me to manifest what I want.  The ability to manifest is a skill that can be strengthened with practice.  Manifestation isn’t just one single formula but rather a series of different skills that work in combination.

The one skill I want to teach you today is the power of focus.  You must train your mind to be able to focus on a single thought.  Here are a few tips for you to help you do this:

1. Pay attention to your thoughts.  Monitor your thinking.  Eckhart Tolle teaches in his book “The Power of Now” to be the observer of your thoughts.  The problem with our thinking is that there is too much chatter, too much static.  Excessive thinking blocks the signals that come in and the signals you send out for manifestation.  Start by paying attention and monitoring your thinking.
2. As you start paying attention to your thoughts, start slowing down your thinking.  Thinking is required when completing tasks and getting work done, but other than that people tend to over think and over analyze everything.  Practice having a clear mind and become aware of the present moment and what is happening in the right now.
3. When you want to manifest something, close your eyes and picture a big whiteboard in your mind.  Picture you getting a dry eraser and clearing off everything on the whiteboard.  This is symbolic for erasing the thoughts that are floating around in your mind.  Attempt to get a very clear board.  When the board is clear, think of the object or a representation of the thing that you want to manifest and hold the image in your mind.
4. Focus is key.  Powerful manifestors have the ability to hold a single thought in their mind without allowing other thoughts to come in.  This will take practice on your part.  Hold the image of what you want to manifest and focus on it, not allowing yourself to think of anything else, pushing away all other thoughts that are bombarding you.  Practice focusing with a clear mind.
5. As you focus on what you want, evoke emotion from what you are seeing.  What will it feel like when  you achieve what you want?

Let me first tell you that purchasing a car when you’re single is a completely different experience than purchasing a car when you are married.  As you know I recently sold my car and was in the process of getting another one.  What I didn’t know was how difficult it was going to be to have two Gemini’s agree on the same car.

We looked at Hondas, Volvos, BMWs , Mercedes, Toyotas, Lexus’ and Mazdas.  But there was nothing we could both agree on.  I finally gave up the pursuit and figured my husband would eventually give up the fight and compromise a little bit.  Until this week when I decided I was going to find the perfect car for me.

Knowing that I’m a spiritual being living in a physical body, I sent out my consciousness to do the work for me.  I simply asked my subconscious to find me the perfect car and help me in my search.  A car salesman called me yesterday telling me about the month end sales.  I agreed to come in to negotiate a car that I was interested in.

As I was leaving my subdivision on my way to the dealership I noticed a beautiful car approaching the gates into my neighborhood.  I asked my husband what the car was and he said “It’s an Acura MDX”.  I immediately called the Acura car dealership to get information and some numbers.  The lady on the other end of the phone seemed less than friendly so I ended the conversation and headed towards the dealership.

The five minute drive there I asked the universe to show me a sign to show me the perfect car for my family.  I sat in the car again, but it didn’t speak to me.  It didn’t feel right.  I continued to look at other cars, ran some numbers, negotiated prices but still I didn’t feel comfortable with it.  Two hours later of sitting in cars and running numbers the salesman was getting a little frustrated.  He was determined to sell a car by the end of the day no matter what.  Fearing that I wasn’t truly serious, he then asked me “What’s your objective?  What’s it going to take for you to do this transaction?”

I looked him straight in the eye and I said, “call me crazy, but I do business based on my intuition.  And my intuition is screaming at me not to sign.  I’ll know the second I sit in the right car, I will feel it.”  I asked to look at the cars again in the parking lot, and then my husband calls me to check out this car.  In the parking lot was an Acura MDX.  I sat in the car, saw the dashboard, the sun roof, the leather seats, the 3^rd row and within minutes I knew she was mine.  It was if something inside me clicked.  I got the sign I was looking for.

Meanwhile, while I was purchasing the car, my 3 year old was home with my mother.  When I got home before seeing the car, my mother said that I while I was out buying the car Kaylee said “I want a white car”.  “It may not be a white car, it might be silver or black” My mother said.  Kaylee replied “I’ll paint it white.”

At that moment, I got my confirmation sign that the car was meant for me.  I told my mother and my daughter to look outside.  In the driveway was the newest addition to our family.  My white Acura MDX!

Your intuition can be used for any transaction.  Simply ask your subconscious to do the work for you and ask for signs.  It will never lead you astray.

I went to California this weekend and it was exactly what we needed.  Often times we get so busy that we forget to live our lives fully.  I’ve been itching to go to the beach and although California is only a 4 hour drive, I made excuses about fitting it into my schedule.

I’m so glad that I made things happen and got to enjoy a weekend in California with some childhood friends, my cousin, some sun, the pool, the beach and Disneyland!  It was by far one of the best weekends of the year!

To live fully is to make life happen the way you want it.

After reading Power vs. Force by David Hawkins and learning that A Course in Miracles tests just as high as the Holy Bible when it comes to consciousness, I decided it was time to finally read the book, “A Course in Miracles”.

I’m on page 33 and great things have already started to happen.  New clients are falling into my lap.  Things are just working out.  I feel more connected to my clients.  I’m dropping weight without having to do a thing. 

The main thing I’m getting out of it is how to be in the flow.  And that all lack is a sign of wrong thinking.  When you aren’t experiencing what you want in life it’s all from wrong thinking. 

We’ll see what else is in store while I study this amazing text.

Many times a bad day begins within the first few minutes you wake up. For example your alarm fails to go off, you stub your toe while getting out of bed, or you have an incident with your spouse or your kids.  These events can dampen anyone’s day.  But do you notice how when it starts this way the whole day continues this way?  It’s because when bad things happen first thing in the morning it puts you in a “bad mood” and you continue to attract more negative stuff throughout the day.

Last week, was one of those days for me. It was the day before my birthday and I woke up with a sore throat and I never get sick.  I had my mastermind meeting at 10:00am and I had to pick up my rental car at 7:30am.  But on this particular morning, Chuck lost his keys and was late for work.  Two hours later, the keys were nowhere to be found and both Chuck and I needed to be somewhere!  I was desperate, I needed to get to the car rental place but had no idea how to get there.  Luckily, a friend came to our rescue, he picked us up and dropped us off so we could rent a car to get to where we needed to go.

When I got there at 9:00am they had no more compact cars. However, the guy at the counter was happy to offer me a free upgrade.  Not knowing anything about cars, I didn’t think much of it when he gave me a Ford F-150.  When they showed me my rental car my knees went numb, my stomach dropped and I was frozen with fear.  I wanted to cry.  “I can’t drive this thing”, I thought to myself.

The car they gave me was a pickup truck! Now for those of you that don’t know me, I barely like to drive and I don’t do too well driving big cars.  But this was all they had, if I was going to make it to the mastermind meeting, I had no choice but to quickly learn how to drive it.

My bad day just got worse. But I knew that if I didn’t want there to be any other disasters I had to change my thinking immediately.  I took a deep breath, and started visualizing a better day, I willed the day to get better.  And I found something positive to take away from this frightening situation.

My mentor Bob Proctor says “Always do things that scare you. Everyday do something out of your comfort zone.”  In the book Think and Grow Rich in the Self Confidence Formula it says “I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of SELF-CONFIDENCE.”  For me, driving a truck was definitely stretching myself and getting out of my comfort zone.  And so I took the challenge and I drove it.  It didn’t matter that I was driving 20 miles per hour and that people were honking at me and driving around me.  The point is that I did it and I overcame a huge fear.  The more you overcome your fear the easier it will be to overcome it the next time.  And after that, my day did get better because I turned it around.

Your Assignment

1. If you’re having a bad day, you must first take a step back, take a deep breath and find a way to shift your thinking and your energy.  Find the good in all the bad things that happened to you, find a way to laugh about it.  For example, laugh at yourself for stubbing your foot, it’s not like your bed moved, it’s always been in the same place.  Find a way to be grateful for the day, for being forced to do something you didn’t want to do to help you grow as a person.

2. Start to immediately shift your thoughts and your feelings.  When you change your vibration the negative spiral that you got into will suddenly stop.

3. Find the good in the bad.  What good thing or learning lesson can you take from your “bad” day.  How can you turn it around?
