I had an amazing experience this last week, all because I set the intention for my day! As part of my morning routine I declare, out loud, what I want to experience that day, not in specifics, but in the feeling.
I use Pam Grout’s phrase, from her book, “Thank and Grow Rich,” that says, “Something amazingly awesome is going to happen to me today.”
I have done this for quite some time and have had so much fun seeing what shows up! I want to share with you, the best one yet!
I had decided the other morning to tweak the statement from just something amazing to, “Amazingly awesome things are happening to me today.” I wanted to see what would happen changing it from a single intention to plural. My thought was, “why limit it to just one?”
And, would you believe it?! This is what happened:
- My husband and I enjoyed an unplanned motorcycle ride together.
- My college age son arrived home to spend the weekend.
- 2 high school friends, whom I had not seen in over 30 years, called me, out of the blue! They were in the area and wanted to come see me! How amazing is that! We spent a lovely evening together catching up, reminiscing and reconnecting!
I had not just one amazing thing happen. I had 3 amazingly awesome things happen!
I would never have come up with those specific experiences but I had opened myself up to any and all possibilities and happily accepted each and every one that showed up!
The more we look for the magic in each day, the more we will find it! And the more willing we are to receive, the more we are given.
I invite you, each morning, to declare the type of day you want to have and then open your eyes and heart and let the amazingly awesome things roll in!
I’d love to hear your experiences and the fun you have in the discovery. Share in the comments below and let us celebrate with you!
Love,
