Manifesting Reframe: Blow Your Blues Away

I stubbed my toe this morning.  Ok, more like slammed it into the door as I attempted to go down the hall.  And that was just the beginning.  It got even better as I spilled juice on my clothing, banged my head on the cabinet door and then couldn't find my car keys.  Pretty lousy start for a gal who always starts the day intending gentle breezes and smooth sailing.

So how did I get out of that funk?  Did a little manifesting re-frame after which presto - the sun came out and the waters calmed.  Re-framing is easy and well worth the few minutes it takes.  Here's how you do it:

1. STOP what you're doing, take a breath and realize you're in deep doo-doo. 


2. DECIDE to leave this manifesting disaster behind and head for calmer seas.


3. STATE what you want in general, positive terms (I want to have an awesome day).


4. REDIRECT your thoughts elsewhere for a few minutes, to something that has nothing to do with the reality of the moment.  Close your eyes and meditate for 5 minutes, sing along with the radio, tell your boss you'll be late and stop for coffee at a little cafe, take a short walk...anything to get your mind totally off the present.


5. BREATHE slowly and deeply a few times, closing your eyes and concentrating on the experience of the air filling your lungs.


6. DECLARE that you have now started a new, wonderful day then slowly open your eyes, smile and go forward.

This process has helped me time and time again, and I use it after any stressful encounter or bad start to my morning.  Try it and see if it doesn't work for you too.
