Most of us have either had or heard about someone who has had a diary or journal, right? Stores are jammed with items to market to little girls. Cute, pink diaries with locks on them so they can keep their “secrets.” I’ve known girls that had several diaries as kids but got rid of them when they got more “serious” about life. What’s up with that? Did you know that journaling is one of the most widely recommended tools by therapists and counselors to supplement therapy? People who consistently journal report, better understanding of themselves, being more in touch with feelings, and being better able to deal with the past. I highly recommend journaling. Whether real life rantings, class note taking, doodling or dream recording, I have gotten great relief from keeping a journal. Much of this blog is the result of my own journaling process. I’m inspired by the tremendous feedback I get regarding the daily contributions I make. While I am a huge fan of journaling, do you know what I find even more interesting? How writing can affect the future. Statistics show people who write down their goals have over an 80% higher success rate of achieving them. Wow. This is a STUNNING statistic isn’t it?

So aside from goals, how can writing help us manifest our desires?

  1. Notes to the Universe- Some people have written notes to the universe and have witnessed incredible success. I have not tried this technique but it’s something that I will experiment with this year. 
  2. Affirmations-Affirmations can be written for anything you would like to manifest. I have used this technique multiple times and it works! Read my “Affirmation Update” 
  3. post for more details.
    Morning pages- I got this technique from Julia Cameron’s book “The Artist’s Way.” I highly reccomend this book to everyone. Even those of you who are not artists. Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning.
    they are not high art. They are not even “writing.”Morning Pages provoke, clarify, comfort, cajole, prioritize and synchronize the day at hand. Here’s a video for you that get’s into my morning pages experience.

Using writing as an attraction tool can greatly speed up your ability to manifest an awesome life.  So, go ahead, grab that pen and paper and get to it!

Make This Your “Best Summer Ever” (Life Coaching For Locas)

Last Updated on 7 Comments

Before you get tempted to roll your eyes at this very simple exercise, I want you to keep in mind that sometimes the simplest things in life can yield the best results. This is one of the exercises that my life coach gave me that I loved. It really helped me sort out, not just what I wanted to do in life, but how I wanted to FEEL.

INSTRUCTIONS:

NUMBER ONE… This exercise should be fun!

Allow yourself 5-10 minutes of quiet time to write your answers. I am a big believer in keeping a journal but feel free to print this page out. (A .pdf is available here) If you get stuck, think back to your childhood or a summer when you had a great time – what were you doing – or NOT doing?

Tip: If your thoughts seem overly simple – that’s ok. If your life is busy with not many options right now, find small things you CAN do for you (eg. a 20-minute walk before work or after dinner, organize a weekend away if a longer vacation isn’t possible, arrange a dinner with friends at a restaurant with a nice patio if you’re too tired to cook, drink more water, etc.).

Need some more ideas? Read a book, GOOGLE “Free Stuff Near Me” and see what comes up, try something new (it’s free, what have you got to lose?) Visit friends or family, relax on the beach, go fishing, meet new people, do something you used to love, listen to music, eat outside (at a park, beach, your backyard or even on your lunch break), get out in nature or perhaps do something completely different!  And remember – your best summer ever may be about what you DON’T do as well…

Write the Top 10 things that would MAKE THIS YOUR BEST SUMMER EVER:

Imagine the sun is shining. You’re relaxed, happy, can’t help but smile and are at peace with yourself and the world.

This IS your “Best Summer Ever”. What are you doing? What’s going on in your life?

TOP TIP: The stronger this vision is, the more likely you are to have or do what you write. In other words, even if the idea is simple, write down as much detail as you can. For example, if you want to “Read a book,” expand and say, “I read “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. I bought a soft cover book so I could stick it in my purse and read a few pages where ever I go. Just before bed, I make sure to read at least 2 pages. This is my partner’s favorite book, it makes me feel so connected to him/her now. I understand something new about her/him that makes me smile.” 

In this little group of sentences, you have listed “your thing,” a practical plan to make your thing happen and how you feel about your thing.  Do not underestimate this exercise. The simple act of writing things down can be a powerful tool in manifesting and making changes to your life. To read more about this follow THIS LINK.

I chose the summertime list because these plans can be easy enough. Many times, my clients want to make some BIG changes to the way they feel about life but they just need a place to start. Big changes can come from small steps. TRUST ME.

Manifest an Awesome Life: The Science of Getting Rich Chapter 8

Thinking in the certain way…

“You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself.

You must have it before you can give it; and many people fail to impress Thinking Substance because they have themselves only a vague and misty concept of the things they want to do, to have, or to become.”

Congratulations!!! This is the fun part…

You are setting a stage, writing the book, filming the movie, planting the garden… And the more detail you have, THE BETTER.

“The methods herein set forth are for people whose desire for riches is strong enough to overcome mental laziness and the love of ease, and make them work.”

Why would he say something like that? Why would he say that this is not for the mentally lazy? Because he understands that you may be challenged to lose faith but you cannot. You must bind your belief that your desire will come to pass no matter what. You have to be unshakable. That feeling of KNOWING you have already received it must be ever-present. Sometimes, you will be doing this with NO EXTERNAL evidence and as a matter of fact, in some cases, the evidence may seem to look like the exact opposite of what you want. You MUST be a mental BADASS. You MUST KNOW and FELL you will succeed.

How to Change Your Life in 30 Days & Become a Manifesting Machine

Last Updated on 1 Comment

I am often asked questions about manifesting or co-creating an awesome life so I felt compelled to make this video.

In order to change your life in 30 days, you must know how to change your vibration. High emotional vibrations such as love, gratitude, and laughter, create a perfect environment for manifesting dreams and goals. Writing down positive affirmations (SPECIFICALLY, LOVE affirmations) is just one of many effective tools to aid you in radically changing your vibration and allowing you to become a manifesting machine!

Why Focus on Love?

More Manifesting through Writing

Love is the highest vibration we can achieve. Think about this, it is said that God is love. Therefore, when you are in the LOVE vibe, you are in sync with the creator. When you are in the LOVE vibe you are in the vibration of creation not just for your own good but for the good of all.

You can learn more ways to use writing or affirmations to help you along your success journey, by checking out a few of my favorite posts.

The Most Powerful Abundance Prayer Video

Last Updated on Leave a Comment

It’s 2017 and I have decided that it’s GAME ON mode. I started the year with two new coaching clients  and have my goals written down for 98 more by December 31st 2017!!! Lofty goal? Yes. I set my intention then, plan, pray, hustle, pray, achieve, and pray!

There are many different types of prayers. This year I am committed to writing about the various kinds of praying and also sharing about the use of prayer in my life, especially since one of my most visited posts of all time is The Most Powerful Abundance Prayer. Because of the popularity on the subject, I decided to make a video.

Set your intention for the goodness and abundance of all when you’re reciting the prayer and may you too be blessed! If you need some guidance on how to set your intention or want to know more about coaching with me, check out http://bit.ly/CoachWithAngel

Affirmation update…

Last Updated on Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the wedding of a dear friend. The wedding took place in a small town in Texas. In my toast, I spoke of the times we had written down our dreams and how I was standing as a witness to her dreams come true. The truth is that over the last few years, we have had so many of our dreams come true and I feel truly blessed. If you’ve followed this blog for a while, you’ll know how much I believe in the power of words to transform lives.  I wanted to share with you some of the tips we used in the affirmation exercises we’ve practiced.

• Take notice of your own negative self-talk and then transform it into positive statements. For instance turn “I always pick the wrong type of mate” to “I am learning to make incredible choices so I pick the right type of mate.” “I am afraid to…” to “I find the strength to…”

• Use Both Hands. When we write something with a pen or pencil, we instinctively perform this task with our dominant hand. But did you know you stimulate both sides of your brain when you write with both hands?

• Write several sets. An example of a set is: 3-3-3, which means that an affirmation is written nine times, three with the dominant hand, three times with the non-dominant hand, and three more times with the dominant hand.

• Write it different ways. Longhand, other languages you speak, all caps, script, typed…


• Finally, if you can, share your affirmations with a trusted friend. Be proud of and speak your affirmations out loud.

As I mentioned in my post from 2011 Why? Because I said so!

An affirmation is a declaration that something is true. Transforming your life through affirmation is possible but may require a bit of work. Some of you struggle with the negative things you have been programmed to believe. Writing affirmations without feeling good will do little to change your life. Thoughts evoke feelings and then those feelings power additional thoughts, actions, and results. Without feeling good, we might just as well do nothing. You may struggle with affirmations because you feel fake. There is HOPE for you.

If you cannot arrive at your affirmations from a TRUE place, try writing a letter to yourself from the future. Tell yourself where you are and remind yourself that the limitations you placed on yourself were temporary. I cannot express enough HOW EFFECTIVE this technique can be in bringing relief of anxiety. Anything from love sickness to bankruptcy, realize that your future self has already overcome. Your future self lives in the place of your dreams and is unlimited, wise and at peace. Feel free to ask questions or even ask your future self to write your affirmations!

Have fun. Be bold. Share your victories!
