they say when it rains it pours - sounds like ketchikan if you ask me. i am still curious though as to where summer has gone. it really feels as if fall as come early and winter will be shortly upon us, but that is besides the point. i am talking about a series of unfortunate events. you know the times when one bad thing occurs, and then it seems as if everything that could go wrong is going wrong. not to mention all the things you didn’t even think about going wrong also go wrong.

that is how my day was looking monday morning. before 9 am rolled around i had woke up feeling confused by the night before thoughts, annoyed by my hair not looking how i wanted it to after curling it, was running late to work, as well as full body bumped into a chair. it might not seem to be a whole lot, but i will tell you during that morning it felt as is the whole day would be bad. having listened to the what we said podcast episode “how to attract good things into your life” Sunday evening i was not okay with just letting the day be ruined by thoughts that carried on to the morning. i decided to manifest a good day by affirming myself that it was going to be a good day, that i have a lot to be thankful for, and that i was loved and seen. did i believe it right away? honestly not really, but i continued to repeat it. i breathed. focused on each moment and took it one at a time. how did my day go? it surprisingly was a pretty good day. it was far better than what i had imagined it to be and when it came to my painting not turning out as i hoped i was (aside from being a bit bummed) rather calm. not to mention i easily moved on which as you know is not like the perfectionist reaction i usually have. it definitely could have helped that my client was there and part of my job is modeling appropriate behavior/reactions, but even my internal reaction was one that was not as fazed as i have gotten before.

when you strive for a good day, and have good vibes, that same energy comes back to you. you really do get back what you put out and even when you might not get exactly what you are hoping for that positive attitude keeps your day cheery and bright.

those same positive thoughts can help you achieve your goals. yes, you can manifest your goals as well. remember when i said i would write a piece for a magazine? that was me manifesting it, me putting it into the universe, and even though it hasn’t happened yet, ohhh just you wait and see, it is going to happen.

sure when it rains it pours, but what they forget to tell us is that when it shines it glows.

our positive mindset can have the same effect as our negative mindset. when we focus on the negatives it is easy to notice the other negatives, but when we seek out the positives, oh how the other positives shine. i always say it, but i will say it again because where our mind at matters. our mindset can help set how our day is going to be - i hope you choose a positive one.

disclaimer: a positive mindset does not mean we won’t face bad days or that we aren’t attuned to reality it simply means we actively seek out the good and don’t get caught up on the bad.
