Create Your Sunshine

With the start of the new year comes resolutions to do and be better: eat healthier, exercise more, take up a hobby, etc. While all of those are fantastic, the resolution to become a gym rat overnight – when you’ve never liked the gym – isn’t one that’s likely to stick. I’ve tried to trick myself into that 3 times and had to fight my way out of a gym membership I never used because of it. Thankfully it seems, third time’s the charm!

I have BIG plans for 2015, but it’s impossible to keep them all remember in my head. I wanted to have them in a place where I saw them every single day, so I decided to get a little white board and hang it in my office. I’ve got all kinds of stuff on there, from travel plans to concerts I’d like to see and things I’d like to create more time for. Being able to visually see them everyday constantly brings it to the forefront of my attention encouraging me to take tiny steps every day towards achieving my goals!

CASE IN POINT #1: See the 3rd line from the bottom, Medicine Yoga Goddess? Well, my girl Jennifer Mountain makes these incredible felted sculptures and when she posted a picture of her Listening Yoga Medicine Goddess, I instantly fell in love. As beautiful as she was, I couldn’t immediately swing the price, so I put her on my manifestation board so that she can come to me in better circumstances. Almost a month later I found out Jennifer was having a sale in her Etsy shop. To tell you I did a happy dance doesn’t even begin to justify it! I WAS ECSTATIC! I messaged Jennifer immediately, paid her for this gorgeous beauty (which she was kind enough to put on hold for me until I got home) and she is now on her way to her new home!! Hooray!! Isn’t she GORGEOUS?!

CASE IN POINT #2: Back in October, we celebrated World Hoop Day. My intention was to go there with only ONE hoop so that I could bring the new hoop I was going to win in the raffle home with me (gotta let the universe know what you want, right?). Well, about half way through the raffle they called out my name!! Alright!! There were still quite a few hoops left to choose from, but I had had my eye on a particularly special one, created by none other than the fabulously talented Rachael, from Get Funny Boned hoops and bindis! (I also promised I would take pictures for her – sorry girl!! Hope they were worth the wait!!). This fast became my favourite hoop and I use it all the time!

Manifesting the things that you want in life is as easy as 1, 2, 3! First you have to get clear on the things that you want to bring into your life. I find it really helpful to have my little white board on the wall in my office. I can see it every day and knowing that I am working towards bringing these fantastic things into my life makes me smile! Maybe a journal or vision board might work better for you. However you want to keep track, make sure to get clear on what you want and put it in a place where you can see it EVERY DAY! 🙂 Then take little baby steps to make those dreams come true! I know you can do it!! ❤
