Don't stop believing...

"Don't stop believing" by Journey is one of my all time favorite songs... and I've heard it multiple times this week, which got me thinking about the chorus line:

Don't stop believing

Hold on to the feeling

And it hit me - those two little verses hold the key to manifesting our goals! I've been manifesting many amazing things lately, from clients on the other side of the globe, to great new friendships, and even unexpected money! And as I pondered about what was the catalyst to this increased abundance in my reality, I realized it all boiled down to BELIEF.

Belief is the catalyst and the missing piece of the puzzle! Since it's all about vibration, when we feel positive expectation about the things we want, we become more magnetic to those things. But you can't feel positive expectation without experiencing BELIEF.

To believe is to trust - to know that it's possible to have what you want... belief is what connects us with our own energy and aligns us with our desires. Without belief we're just pushing what we want further away from us.

How do you increase your belief?

What's worked wonders for me has been to first meditate and visualize on what I want... to find the feeling place of having it in my reality... that really gets my energy going! We've talked about the powers of visualization before, but I cannot stress it enough!!! Our brains are so incredibly powerful, but we rarely harness that power in our lives. When we're wrapped up in our own heads and stories we are actually using our brain against us.

Our thoughts and emotions ARE vibration... imagine all the neuron synapses firing, wiring and rewiring in our brains every second. Our hypothalamus (in our brains) secretes chemicals that correspond to different emotions... and it all fits together... we're amazing beings. (For more information on this, watch the DVD: "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" and/or read "Molecules of Emotion" by Candace Pert, Ph.D.)

So to increase our belief in our dreams we start by putting our FOCUS on that picture... push aside all other pictures - the pictures of your doubts, fears, and worries... the more you focus on your vision, the more ingrained it will be in your consciousness, and the more attractive you will become to people, ideas, resources, opportunities, and other thoughts and emotions that will move you towards your goal little step by little step... once you're on that journey it's almost as if a veil has been lifted from you eyes!

So start today by asking yourself, what is one thing you so desire, but don't fully believe can be yours? How can you "hold on to that feeling" of it being the way you want? How good do you want it to be?

Making peace with NOW.

Do you ever just wish you could hit the Fast Foreward button in your life? Are your thoughts leaning toward what's not currently working, what's missing or how much better things would be if this and that changed? It's normal to feel this way, although that mindset does rob us of many things - one of them being our energy. When we're focused on what's wrong or missing we expend a lot of our inner energy that could otherwise be used much more productively.

We are where we are and that's OKAY. Our present situation is a direct result of our PAST thoughts, feelings, and choices. In order to create something different we need to change our point of focus NOW. Here are some steps I've used in my own life and with my clients to start shifting that point of attraction to create different results:



1. Make peace with your NOW: How do you do that when your credit card debt is sucking you dry, when there's too much month at the end of the money, or when you're going through a rough patch? It starts by going within, and really scanning what you're grateful for. I suggest my clients focus on 3-5 things they're grateful for EACH morning - and really harness the powerful emotion of gratitude. Starting out each day with this small practice can change the course of your day, week, month - life! So, right NOW, name three things you're grateful for in your life... ready, set, go!




2. Crystallize that Clarity! Once you've changed your vibration, the next step is to get CLEAR about what you want to create... by knowing what we DON'T want, we get clear about what we DO want - so start putting your powerful intention to use! This is where working with a coach, whether it's me or another life coach, will come in handy. A coach will help you get the picture of your life desires clear and strong. Most people find this step difficult because their egoic mind starts chatting at this point: "What are you thinking?" "You can't do that!", "You're shooting too high, there's no way that can ever happen", "I'm not smart enough", "I don't have what it takes" - the bla-bla-bla's go on forever... but how are you ever going to move forward if you give in to this negative inner chatter? You've got to question those thoughts - put them to the test! This is also an area where a coach would be extremely useful - we all live inside our heads most of the time, and we need a powerful outer voice to help us see the total vision of our reality. So, get clear about what you want.



Here's one thing I have my clients do: Write a letter to yourself, dating it one year from now. In this letter, let your intuition and imagination flow - describe EVERY AREA of your life as you would want it - have fun with this! There's no doing it wrong :)


3. Excitement for whats coming: You are the creator of your reality! Whether you like it or not, whether you act as if you're not - there's no escaping it - outside circumstances and people do not create it for you. As a deliberate creator, your power lies in your positive expectation and excitement for what you want to achieve. It's like the rocket fuel that propels you to the top. Sit for a few minutes, close your eyes, breathe in deeeeply, and start to visualize your successes as if they're already here. Studies conducted on Olympic athletes show that our brains do not know how to distinguish between what's actually happening and what we visualize. Meaning - our visualizations have power to get our brains to help us achieve our goals! Did you know that? I could tell you lots more on the subject, but we'll save that for another blog post or coaching workshop.


Harness this power with your own mind - do this consistently, each day and the proof will be in the pudding! It's all about excitement - for this is one of the highest emotions vibrationally speaking :)
