The Money Attracting Challenge: Days 13 & 14


Day 13: The Day of the Party.  I woke up early so that I could prepare myself for the day.  By "prepare" I mean, "align" myself for the party.  I had been experience some stress in the days leading up to the party, so I wanted to clear that away.

So, I got up (6:30am) sat outside, closed my eyes and meditated and visualized for about 30 minutes.  I saw the party going well.  I saw everyone laughing and having a good time.  I saw children behaving (for the most part).  I saw people thanking us.
I finished with a big smile on my face and went on about my day.

In short, the party was great.  Children were a bit rowdy, but not too bad.  Lots of laugh, good friends and thankfully, lots of good food.  At the end of the day, there was, once again, no room in our fridge...and you know how grateful I am about that.


Day 14: A slow start to the day (wonder why?) but a nice easy one.  We ended up going for a drive in the country, having lunch on a hillside, overlooking a beautiful forest, and topping it off with blackberry picking.  A calm, serene, peaceful day which gave me much to be thankful for.  It rejuvenated me and dusted off the cobwebs. Looking forward to a prosperous week!

The Money Attracting Challenge: Day 12


Day 12 finds me one day before the BBQ birthday party.  I've had a bit of a better day than yesterday, but the Law of Attraction is, as always still at work.  In this case, I'm
made today just fell.....well, flat. 

It looks okay, and it'll probably taste fine, but it's too flat!  It looks more like a flan.
I knew this would happen!  You know why?  Because I knew it. I absolutely, positively knew this would happen, and shock of all shocks.....it did.

I anticipated it well dread....yes, real dread.  I stressed over it.  I worried about it, and my fears came to fruition....much better than my cake did!

I forgot to pivot on this.

If that's not proof of the Law of Attraction, then I don't know what is. 

Now, I'm gonna sit down, breathe and take it easy.  I'll probably meditate for about 30 minutes today.  After all the stress I put myself through, I deserve it a break.  Then I'll probably close the curtains, put some music on that I like, and dance my butt off....it makes me happy.

The Money Attracting Challenge: Day 11

By Anne Bellamy, Author of Using The Law of Attraction To Help The Universe Help You

On Day 11, I fell off the wagon ..a little bit. 

 It's two days until my boyfriend's birthday and we're having a BBQ with about 10-12 guests, including some of his family.  Our house is currently undergoing a bit of renovation, add that to the fact that I'm a bit of a slob....can you see where this is headed?

That's right.  Time to clean again.  But this time, I felt like I had to clean, so the energy I brought to this activity was completely different than it was on Day 4.  I resented having to do it.  Part of the reason is that my boyfriend's inner circle have a tendency to open closed doors (sometimes locked doors!) and peak into places that clearly they're not invited to peak into.  Little comments about the state of the house are often made (and sometimes they're not so little)  This is a bit of a habit, and I'm uneasy about it. 

In my inner circle, we mind our own business.  We're a little more careful with what we say.  It's what I'm used to, so when I get the opposite, I'm sensitive about it.  My boyfriend?  It just rolls off his back.  He's used to it and doesn't let it bother him.

Anyway, while I'm cleaning, I'm having this internal dialogue between myself and one of his inner circle  members.  I'm actually imagining them nitpicking and nagging!  I know! Right?  What am I thinking???  I spent a whole morning doing this!!  All that stuff about noticing how I'm feeling?  Pivoting?  Monitoring my thoughts?  Being happy?  Wow!  I seriously fell off the wagon, and when I felt the pain of the crash (an actual headache that I know I brought on myself) I stood up, dusted off my knees and put an end to it.

  Enough!  I said.  Time to get happy.  I took control and turned the ship around (this, by the way, is why my Twitter moniker is @SoulSteering)

 So, I went to my computer, logged on to Youtube and listened to a faithful friend that always managed to pull my energy up.  Always manages to put a smile on my face.  Always manages to help me feel motivated, confident, powerful and creative.  In fact, after listening to it, I jumped off the couch and sat down to write this post. 

If you're having a bad day, remember, you can always brush it off.  You can do it simply by deciding to.  But sometimes, you need a bit of help.

If you've fallen off your vibrational wagon, give this a try, it always works for me:

The Money Attracting Challenge: Day 10

 
On the morning of Day 10, I checked my Twitter account and found this message from my friend Chauncey:
Chauncey Scott:
 
Now, before I started this challenge, I probably would have read this, felt good about it, thanked him, then dismissed it.  But not anymore, baby!  I am full of appreciation for these words from Chauncey.  Not just because he's my friend, but because I attracted them.  
 
As I've mentioned before, one of my affirmations is "I love it when people respect me" I haven't forgotten that affirmation.  I haven't forgotten that I asked the Universe to send me signs that there are people out there who respect me, who are proud of me.  
 
Although he has complimented me before, I don't think Chauncey's ever told me he's proud of me (never expected him to) and while I am full of appreciation for his words (because I ask for great friends to be sent my way too) I am also full of appreciation for the Universe for sending this message my way.  
 
Like I've said before, I am noticing more. 
I am paying attention to what I am asking for, and what I am receiving.  And I am expressing appreciation and gratitude when I receive it.  Thanks Uni! (my little nickname for the Universe...I figure nicknames are endearing, so why not show my endearment for the Universe?)

This challenge has helped me tremendously.  I highly recommend it to anyone reading this.   You don't necessarily have to be intending to attracting money.  You can intend to attract health, love, adventure, companionship.....anything that puts a smile on your face. 
 
Caution: Experiment will cause you to smile at odd times resulting in stares from others....
Let them!
