Today I met with my new fitness coach, Cyndi, and set up an eating plan to detox for 3 weeks that will also include an exercise regimen.
This plan is about much more than my weight, because when you declutter your body, your office or your home, it affects all areas of your life.
Cyndi explained that when I stop putting artificial stimulants in my body, such as caffeine, my natural stimulants will kick in and do what they are there to do: make me feel good and focus better which will improve my behavior which will lead to better handling of challenges and achieving my goals.
She then told me to watch for things that show up in my life now that I’ve turned my attention to decluttering. Some of those things will be things I need to let pass out of my life.
She further explained that I will now focus better and operate at a higher vibration.
When I left her office I stopped by Trader Joe’s to pick up some organic foods and other items on the list of foods and beverages I now will add to my life.
Next I stopped by Staples on to buy a new office chair. The one I have is falling apart, and has been annoying me for months.
Besides, I had Staples rewards coupons totalling $14 and wanted to use them before they expire. The chair I liked was on sale for $99, and with assembly, $7.95 more.
Buying this chair was not in my budget, but I was fed up with the one I had. I began to question whether I should buy this chair or not since I hadn’t made a disposable $99 + 7.95 in my business this week.
One of my New Year’s resolutions was not to spend money I don’t have.
I decided not to buy this chair for now.
In the past I would have bought it anyway with the expectation that I’d make the $, but this time I left the chair, decided to come home, put away the groceries and think about ways to earn the cost of the chair before buying it.
When I turned the corner to my house, I couldn’t believe my eyes!
Sitting in my neighbor’s driveway were not one, not two, but five office chairs with $10 signs on each one.
What’s the likelihood of that?
(Her husband had gotten them when he bought the contents of a storage unit.)
As soon as I pulled in my driveway I dashed next door and started trying out chairs, like Goldilocks.
The perfect one was blue, not the color I wanted, but it was the right height, firmness and had an adjustable back and seat.
And best of all, the price was right! I had $10 in my wallet.
Eureka!
I rolled my selection to my neighbor’s front door and rang the doorbell.
She laughed so hard as she told me the story of how something told her to put those chairs out there. She had just sold the first one before I came by.
As soon as I placed the $10 in my neighbor’s palm, I thought of a simple way to cover the chair to make it coordinate with the living room decor where my desk sits.
This is not the first time in my life that I have manifested something I wanted. I have a string of experiences that convince me of the power of the law of attraction and that intention leads to manifestation.
In this experience, even just the intention of detoxing and decluttering my body and mind increased my vibration to guide my actions to getting what I wanted.
There are some of you who don’t believe that this is proof of any connection between my thoughts and results. You may even say it was coincidental or luck.
The trickiest part of intention-manifestation is that when you don’t believe it works, it is working just perfectly for you by bringing you what you expect. You see these laws were not created by mankind and do not choose when to work or not to work. They just obey our thoughts by bringing us the equivalent.
That’s why for centuries, poets, sages and clear thinkers have all stressed the importance of our thoughts.
- “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7
- “What we think, we become.” Buddha
- “A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks he becomes.”~Mahatma Ghandi
- “Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples don’t count on harvesting Golden Delicious.” ~ Unknown
- “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches.”~ Napoleon Hill
- “A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.”~James Allen
I say Wow!
Imagine what amazing things are in store for me when I actually get this program under way!
What experiences have you had with intention and manifestation?
Many of us begin the year making resolutions, but within a few weeks our promises to ourselves have been forgotten.
