Working Too Hard? Try Magical Thinking

Have you been working too hard lately? Nose to the grindstone? Life gotten really serious? Not having enough fun?

TRY MAGICAL THINKING!

Stop and take a 5-minute refresher.

Make a wish for something that you really desire. Something that lightens your load, gives you exquisite pleasure and makes you feel feel happier and lighter by just thinking about it.

It could be doing something professionally that you are passionate about, reducing your work week by half a day or taking that special vacation you’ve been dreaming about.

The only requirement is that it has to tickle your insides and make you smile to count. I just did it myself and it completely made my day.

Savor these feelings and body sensations as you imagine having that thing you wished for. Feel the energy coursing through your body, the smile that’s growing wider on your face, the breath that grows deeper, the delicious presence you feel and how wonderful it is to be alive in these moments.

Congratulations! You have just begun the manifestation process for that wonderful wish that you made. What you just did and the way you felt are core and key to the process.

TO CONTINUE...

Write down your desire in a notebook or a journal with the energy and emotion in which you just experienced it.

Spend time alone every day, contemplating this thing you truly desire. Go to nature or someplace beautiful that has plants. Spend a few minutes relaxing and breathing consciously, becoming more present.

Then bring your desire to mind and body. Allow yourself to create the images that make it up - see yourself doing, being or having your desire and anything else you “see” or imagine being in the picture. Reconnect with the feelings of joy and lightness. Feel the energy, the smile, your breath, your aliveness...

Know that there are people wanting to help you and things that are yours to do - the action items. Invite the people to come to mind and into your life. And consciously open yourself to being inspired with the next right steps.

Write down the people, inspired ideas and actions that come to you in your notebook. Imagine connecting with the people and taking the action. Give thanks ahead for each.

Do let people know what your desire is. Don’t share this precious jewel with anyone that you know will be a naysayer.

Take each next step as it appears (important not to wait). As you take each next step, the next one will show up.

Call anyone that comes to mind as being a helper, whether professional or personal. If they are right for you and your desire, ask for their assistance.

Keep track of the daily evidence that your dream is coming true. Continue until the miracle happens - until your wish is fulfilled, until what you desire is manifested. And enjoy the process!

Did You Forget Something?

Oh, and what about the hard work, nose to the grindstone and seriousness that you started with? You tell me.

Step into your greatness with magical thinking...and action!
