make meditation and creative visualization daily practices

It’s a 4 story townhome in Midtown. Contemporary design. Rooftop terrace with a view of downtown Houston. Lots of huge oak trees. 3 bedrooms. Around 3500 square feet. Perfect for me in every way.

It’s in the final stages of construction, so it was open. I walked around like I owned the place. I figured out exactly how I would decorate. It was fun. I just need $800,000 (that’s all) & it’s mine! :)

Yep, the $$$$ came my way alright…in the form of a redundancy pay out! Ooops, I obviously didn’t get that visualisation quite right! See my last entry in this goal for this to make sense.

Okay the next step is to visualise my new manager reading my CV and shortlisting me for my dream job, then me getting the phone call for the interview, then me conducting an excellent interview and being offered the job. I am going to be offered a job within the next 3 weeks.

I’ve heard that it’s important when thinking about a goal to imagine it in detail, attach joy/love to it & see it as already having been achieved, because the subconscious mind is more powerful than the conscious mind. The subconscious mind can process 200 million bits of information per second & the conscious mind can only process 1 per second.

Does this even make sense? Someone explained it to me once.. I think it has something to do with quantum physics or something. I don’t know. All I know is that it’s fun to do.

I SERIOUSLY deserve a pay rise. I’m not just saying it because I’d quite like one. I really truly believe it. I wrote (along with one other person) a national strategy for one of our major economic industries. We had to do it because the consultants who were paid a quarter of a million dollars weren’t doing a good job. So they got us to do it instead. We did it. None of that money came our way.

That finished in November and since then me and yet another person have been working on an implementation plan for the strategy. But then a couple of weeks ago, someone at my work got sick, so my boss wondered if I could do her job too while I also did my job. And I am.

I’m not trying to beg for pity but I do genuinely believe I deserve more than the $2k payrise I’ve had in the last 2 1/2 years. The problem is my GM who really doesn’t understand or value the type of work I do. But my manager is really good and he has got a lot more standing in the organisation than he did this time last year when he was a newbie. I am going to visualise an excellent performance review and $$$$ rolling my way.

Nach den Ferien sind wir heute das erste Mal wieder zusammen.
Jeder sammelt für sich neue Ideen zur Selbstdarstellung, einen richtig guten Platz im Atelier. Ich freue mich, dass es uns gibt.

On one of my vision boards I put a picture of the exact tent I wanted with a 50% off next to it. Yesterday I went and bought that tent at a discounted price of 60% off. The guy in the shop said that he’d never known such a big discount, normally 50% is the biggest they give. I am stoked!!

Just started a few days ago. It really is amazing. From the first time, I felt more centered, less angry, more optimistic, and less reactionary. Even just 15 to 20 minutes each morning has huge benefits.

in my art journal for 4 specific goals. In one of them I have been extremely specific – a tent and hiking boots for half price. Now I just have to get into the habit of manifesting all these things so that they actually happen. The great thing is that I do actually believe that most of these things will come to me. I’ll let you know when they do!

Buddhist monks had amazing control of their mental, emotional, and physical states.

My meditation and visualization have been for other people this year: I’d like my brother to stop asking/relying on me for favours about money, so I’m visualizing him telling me he’s got a shared accommodation situation close to his university. The other is a sick friend—I’m visualizing her doing a little dance and telling me she has more energy.
