1. Magical Moments or Experiences
Remember a time in your life when something magical happened and in order for it to happen hundreds of little details had to fall into place at just the right time in order for that event to happen. Think back and remember that time. Play it back in your mind. It’s pretty amazing isn’t it, how it all fell into place without you forcing it. Think of all the little details of what had to take place in order for that to happen. Now, as you go about things throughout your day, pay attention to those magical moments that happen in your life. You’ll be amazed! And as you pay attention to them, you’ll create more magical moments. Then share those magical moments with people. I remember one specific magical moment that I had, It was when I met my husband. There were actually so many moments in this story, I laugh when I think about them, we met 25 years ago. I mean it’s amazing, I kind of met him, it was a large group of people, we met at church. At the time he was a Chiropractor and my roommates neck was stuck, literally stuck tilted to the side! So, I convince her to go and see him…and “find out” about him, lol. She comes home from her appointment feeling much better, and I ask her…”so what did you find out?” She laughs and says “not much, he was asking so many questions about you that I couldn’t find much out about him”. Haha. The story has even more special moments…me meeting someone at the salon that I worked at,who was working in his office temporarily, but she knew him well. So, without telling her that I wanted to go out with him, I said to her “you and I should go to lunch”. Her and I actually connected with the topic of missionary work first before I found out that she knew this “guy” that I wanted to date, so I kind of said we should talk about her missionary work. Come to find out, she was known to be a “match-maker” with several other couples. You know…it was a “gift” that she had. Well more things happened in order for my husband and I to finally go on a date, but we all were pretty amazed as to how it all played out.
Okay,
2. Create or get a very CLEAR INTENTION!!
This is so important. Take time to really get clear as to what you want, because if you don’t know what you want, it gets too easy to loose focus and get discouraged. When your intentions are clear, you know what needs to be done and the right things and opportunities come your way because you see them. If you’re not clear you get distracted and anything, starts to look good.
3. Feed your Mind with the Right Information.
Here again, when you’re clear you’ll know what info to listen to. Everyday for at least an hour listen to someone who is more successful than you are in the area or goal that you’re working on. That may be listening to an audio recording or listening to a webinar, Read books on personal development to improve yourself, your thoughts, your actions and your habits. This will help you to stay focused and inspired when things get tough.
4.Let go & Be Flexible.
As I talked about the magical moments, remind yourself how so many things happen to “fall into place” without us forcing them. Remember that because things aren’t always going to go the way we think they will go. Most of the time when we let go and are flexible things turn out much better than how we thought they’d go. Keeping this in mind will reduce the stress in your life also. I think having some patience is important also. Not procrastination, but patience. You’re like a rocket going to the moon…NASA says “go to the left a little bit”…it’s course-correction. Sometimes you need to tweek things a bit.
5. Take massive ACTION!
You have to take action, otherwise the rest of this doesn’t matter much. But, in order to take action you need to think about and create magic moments, have a clear intention, feed your mind and be flexible.
Take these 5 Steps and Create the “Flow” in Your Life, so you can Live the Life you Intend to Live!
Live Life
