Member Journey: Part 2

This week we’re going to practice a daily appreciation inner workshop.

Appreciation is the emotional state of being happy for everything you’ve received so far. Spending time in the emotion of appreciation is very close to joy, and this emotion puts you in the ideal state for manifesting.

Practice thinking thoughts of appreciation is especially important if your environment has you around those with a more cynical outlook. It helps you counteract these discouraging words with your own narrative.

When you practice an outlook of appreciation - you and another person can look at the same set of circumstances and see two very different narratives. With a more appreciative mindset, you will tend to see life more optimistically, which can be useful, especially for spotting solutions to problems.

Whether you have identified the desire you want to manifest or not, appreciation gets you into an energetic state where you’re in vibrational alignment with a resonant mood to attract everything you desire, even if you aren’t yet clear on what those things are.

I sometimes just get into this state for no other reason than I could use a dose of remembering my favorite things, which will bring in more of them.

Exercise:

8 Minute Daily Manifesting

Set a timer for 8 minutes. For the next 8 minutes think of everything that exists around you that you appreciate. Think about all the good things about your day so far. 

If you come to a lull in your 8 minutes of appreciation thoughts, that’s okay, simply pause, and look around for more to appreciate.

Revisit the last year of your life and note everything you appreciated happening to date, going month by month.

If anything comes to your mind you don’t appreciate, simply refocus it on something good that you did and keep going.

At the end, say internally, “Thank you for creating these things, I would love to receive more of them.”

Advanced: 

Now that you’re in this state, your energy is spiritually charged and in high vibration, so it’s a great time to ask for guidance.

Inhale and exhale, ask, Spirit Guides and Angels, what can I do to get closer to my desire now? 

Pay attention to any immediate impressions that come to mind.

Finally… for the rest of the day, do your best to continue this stream of appreciation. As you go about your life, look for what you appreciate.

For best results this week:

Set a timer on your phone to remind yourself to do this practice. As for the best times to practice appreciation, I like to do this in the morning over coffee, right after lunch and/or as I’m getting ready for bed.

As you practice getting into a state of appreciation, prepare yourself for happy surprises, while keeping in mind that sometimes, in manifesting, there are doors that close, to direct you towards open doors that are closer to what you want.

Instead of focusing on a closed door, ask “okay Universe, what’s next?”
