The Power of Visualization

Posted on by
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude! 

Feel free to click here (or below) to learn more about our Gratitude Project. 
Okay – now for today’s post:
Today I am most grateful for the power of visualization.

Seeing it in action in someone else’s life inspires me and gives me the spiritual kick in the pants that I need to get focused and create it in my own life.

I was watching a tv show last night called, “The Lottery Changed My Life.”
It features people who have won the lottery and talks about all of the ways in which their lives have changed since winning. Usually the winners just talk about how they were lucky and just happened to get the winning ticket.
But last night’s winner was different, and I literally got chills when I heard her story. 
Before winning, she was desperately trying to make ends meet financially. Her brother had been killed in a tragic accident and left behind his four children. She had been trying to adopt them all, but two of them were still in foster care. She said that her mom believed in the power of visualization and had passed that along to her. 
So one night she wrote $112,000,000 on a piece of paper and put it underneath her pillow. She meditated while feeling how truly wonderful it would be to have this money. She knew with it she would be able to adopt her two nephews and would no longer worry about money. She acted as though she already had the money and thought about how she would spend it and what she would do with it. 
And three weeks later she won the lottery for $112,000,000.
Amazing.
Chills.
Wonderful.
And while it is all of these things, it also makes perfect sense.
We attract into our lives what we think about and what we believe we deserve. 
When we align our thoughts and our emotions – the sky is the limit. 
This story is a great motivator for all of us to think about the life that we want to live and then truly take the time to feel it. 
Because by doing so, it will become your reality. 
And knowing that we each have the power to create our best lives
 is definitely something to be grateful for!

The Power of Intention

Posted on by
We recently converted our journals into ebooks and began selling them on Amazon.  It’s such a thrill when we see that they have been purchased – knowing that we are spreading gratitude electronically is a wonderful feeling! I was thinking about this last night before I went to sleep and wondered if there were other websites where we could sell our ebooks as well. I told myself that I would start looking into it in the morning. 
Today when I woke up, I checked my email and noticed a new Twitter follower. I clicked on their profile and guess what? They own a healing ebooks site with a large selection and many subscribers! 
Some would call this a coincidence. 
I call it the power of intention. 

Things like this happen to all of us all of the time. 
We just have to be conscious and aware to notice it.
When we are very clear and focused about what we want, we attract it to us.
There is something very empowering about realizing our ability to create the exact life that we want – to bring our dreams into reality. This can be scary at times because we have to take responsibility for our lives. If we believe that we create our own reality, then we realize that if something isn’t working the way we had hoped in our lives it’s because of us. Somehow we brought that situation into our life. And this isn’t always the easiest to hear and process. But it works for the positive parts of our lives, too! If something is working (you have a great job, a wonderful family and friends, high self esteem, etc.) it’s because you attracted it into your life! 
Try setting your intentions and see what happens. 
If you would like to start small to see if it really works, then do that. 
Think about what you want in your life and what you need to create that life. 
Set an intention to attract that into your life. 
Be as specific as you can. 
Believe it. Feel it. Be open.
And then let it go. Surrender it to your higher self.
Before you know it, you’ll be taken on a path toward realizing your dream. 
This is an amazing tool that we all have and use daily – most of the time without even knowing it. Wouldn’t it be great to consciously choose your reality instead of going through life on auto pilot? 
By setting your intention and being more aware of your thoughts, 
you can create your ideal life!
P.S. – Thank you so much for all of your wonderful support and comments! We are so grateful that you are here! 

Your OWN Show…

Posted on by
I love Oprah’s new network, OWN. I have admired her since I was young and grew up watching her show. I love how she has evolved into using her show to inspire and show us all how we can live our best lives. 
In one of the new shows on OWN, lucky viewers were chosen to compete for their own show. It was a great show to watch and see what each person wanted to share with the world – what they thought their strengths were – and how they chose to inspire people. It just ended a few days ago with Oprah choosing the winner and offering a great surprise! (I won’t say what that is if you haven’t seen it yet and want to watch.)

It got me thinking about my own life and if I had the opportunity to have my own show, what would it be about? It’s fun to dream about this, and it really got me to focus on what I see as my life’s purpose – what is the message that I want to share with everyone – why am I here – how can I help others – what do I see as my strengths, etc?

While I would still like to take some more time to journal about this and dream a bit more, I know that my show would be very similar to our Soulful Journals and this blog. I feel that I am living my dream right now by being able to write these books, which are inspiring others to go within and get to know themselves. It would be wonderful if my show could have a panel of mentors/experts in all sorts of categories (relationships, finances, work, etc.) who are succeeding and living their dreams. They could teach/show the viewers (and maybe one specific guest each week) how they did it and how you can, too. It would be about realizing that our thoughts become our reality – and give us tools each week on how we can create a positive life by thinking positive thoughts and showing our gratitude daily.

So today it might be fun to you to do the same. Imagine that Oprah is offering you your very own show on her new network. You have complete freedom to create the show of your dreams – anything you want to do is possible. 

What would your show be called?
What would it be about?
How would you help or inspire others through your show? 
How would this show relate to your life’s purpose?
How would this show cater to your strengths?
How can you apply this dream to your day-to-day life? 
How can it help to focus you to live the life you are meant to live?
Have fun dreaming today – and who knows, it may just become reality someday! 

Affirmations and a Free Gift!

Posted on by

I first learned about saying affirmations many years ago after reading Louise Hay’s books. She is an expert on them, and they were a huge part of her recovery from cancer. 
They can be both powerful and life changing.
If you haven’t said affirmations before, it might feel a bit strange at first. Especially when what you are saying doesn’t feel real yet. 
For example, say your affirmation is, “I live a calm, balanced life.” 

You created this affirmation because this is what you want for yourself – this is how your ideal life looks. 
However, at the present moment, your life may be far from this. That’s okay. We all have to start at the beginning. Say this affirmation to yourself and out loud often throughout your day. Look at yourself in the mirror and say it. Write it onto post-it notes, and hang them all around your house. Even if it feels strange at first, keep saying it – keep believing it – and before you know it, it will sink in, and you will be living a calm, balanced life. 
They really do work, but you have to keep at it and keep believing in it. When you say it to yourself, really feel what that calm balanced life feels like. Really remember why you created this affirmation to begin with. Really imagine yourself living this life each time you say the words. 
Affirmations are amazing tools for visualizing and creating our authentic lives. They are wonderful for our self esteem and our well being. 
Spend some time today writing down your affirmations. This is the fun part of the process – you get to dream and really think about what kind of life you want to create! When you write your own, make sure to write in the first person whenever possible.

To get you started on this journey, we are giving away our Soulful Journals Affirmations Screensaver! 

I created this screensaver for myself years ago, and I still use it today. I am happy to share it now with you! It comes with 12 affirmations – each paired with one of our paintings. 
Simply put “affirmations” in the subject line. We’ll then email it to you with instructions.
Have fun creating your affirmations, putting them up around your house, and saying them! You’ll be amazed at how much your life will change once they start to sink in!
