My favorite take-away from everything I've dealt with in the past year: "Your words and thoughts become what you manifest. Replace 'I can't' statements with 'I will' and 'I can' and watch your life change.”
Kind of similar to “you are what you eat”.
You are what you think.
It’s been kind of a crazy thing to me. I was starting to notice this huge positive shift in my life. When I needed something, it would almost just fall in my lap. I had a friend who verbalized it to me and I started thinking that maybe I wasn’t going insane.
Manifest what you need, be it tangible or not.
I needed a house. The house I bought was the second one I looked at with my realtor. It popped up for sale and somehow we were able to get a viewing before anyone put an offer in on it.
I needed a car. A friend of a friend suddenly had a low mileage inexpensive vehicle for sale. Granted, said car needed serious work. But it all turned out better than I had expected.
I needed furniture. I found the best couch for super cheap on Facebook marketplace. I also scored a bed for myself, bunk beds for my daughters and other necessities that we needed.
I needed a distraction, something positive to direct the energy that had gone into my previous relationship into a constructive outlet. Plants started showing up at my house, one of my best friends sent me a Roots & Refuge video. And now I have a full blown garden addiction and an urban homestead dream.
At Christmas, I kept thinking that I wished I could take my kids out more to do things. We received several gift cards to go to the movies and money to invest in a zoo membership.
I got the promotion at work that I have been asking about for the past 2.5 years.
So much else has just fallen into place. The past year has been a rollercoaster to say the least but it has been so beautiful to watch things come together. I am so proud of myself and how I have picked up the pieces.
Do not underestimate your power.
