I got a little sick this week
Actually, I got a lot sick. Which is super hilarious because my side hustle is remote healing. And I was struggling to "heal" myself. I thought I mighta had covid. But I didn't. It was just a stupid disaster cold that wouldn't shake off.
And I want you to read to the end, because you'll see how all of this ties together, and the big payoff in the end.
The Timing Of The Havoc Was Uncanny
What's interesting is the timing of it all. I had just recently acquired three large residential builders to my interior design portfolio. High paying, well-connected clients who had homes for me to design right away. I felt very much up to the task, and completely confident in the projects I would do for them. These projects would result in rather high commissions as well as rather lovely referrals in the future. It was a very welcome boon.
And then, something interesting happened.
All Hell Broke Loose -- But Wait Til You Find Out Why
Within a period of a week of this acquisition, my kiddo started acting out in ways that were troubling and difficult to sort out, the dog got pancreatitis (puke and poop clean up and a strict diet to maintain), work got insanely busy to the point I was delayed in being able to work on my new clients' time-sensitive projects, deliveries I had scheduled for other clients were going missing and I had to spend precious time tracking them down and writing up claims for their disappearance, my car started having engine trouble, my dad had heart surgey, and alas, I got super duper sick. To the point I couldn't come in to work, despite the many time-sensitive demands that had just fallen to me to accomplish.
It was distressing, to say the least.
And then I remembered something.
Ignore Your Reality And It Will Disappear
A few posts ago, I spoke about the concept of sabotage and challenges that crop up whenever a new goal or intention takes form. In my case, I had been doing well in my personal business growth, and these new clients meant a lot more money and success for me. I was in high demand. And I guess...it made me uncomfortable!
I remember what I had learned about the subconscious, and it occurred to me there must be something in there that was resisting the new level of success. I had no idea what belief construct that might be. But I decided that for experimental purposes at the very least, I was going to try the approach of NOT reacting to my 3D reality.
Not Reacting To 3D
Not reacting to 3D just means two things. Whenever a triggering event occurs, it is imperative we
- reduce our emotional reaction to it, and try and find other nicer things to distract the mind and bring peace to it, despite the obvious issue
- assign either no meaning, or a positive one where possible.
The OLD me would have been overwhelmed, panicked, upset, triggered, discouraged, and defeated, tried to fix it, tried to fight it, tried to whine about it. And I might have even given up and figured this success was just not meant for me. But the NEW me knew better. As frustrated as I was, I pushed myself to simply pull back from these events emotionally as well as I could. Tone down the internal reaction. Take a step back from the mental madness of these triggering feelings and negative self talk, and go do something productive and comforting and completely UNRELATED instead. Multiple times over I did this. Because I KNEW that if I did so, they would sort themselves out. Either I would get inspiration on how to handle these issues, or they would fade away on their own. I knew this. I had experienced it in lesser degrees.
Don't get me wrong. The pressure was insane. And it seemed to get worse with each passing day as something else mounted on the pile of insanity.
The Final Result Is Astounding.
I eventually calmed down my psyche enough to get back to work and not stress out. I found a place of peace. Things calmed down. I was able to resolve some of the issues, while the others just faded away. I felt calm and at peace with it all. And I proceeded to finish up whatever work I could while I was on the mend.
WITHIN ONE WEEK -
Manifestation #1 - health
A NEGATIVE test result from my covid test. I don't care what anyone says, I consider this a manifestation. I had all the covid symptoms. And in my book, it felt important to me to picture them showing up as negative on the test. I also had the specific thought, "I wish I knew someone who knew how to do what I did, and they could help me recover quicker." And not a half a day later, I got a text from a friend who told me they did similar work as mine, and she offered to do a swap with me. She worked on me recently and helped to calm down a cough that had been persistent and frustrating. And is now greatly reduced, and energy increased.
Manifestation #2 - money
I was thinking about a company I wanted to work for that I had applied for about two months ago and never heard from. 10 minutes later, I got a phone call from them, asking if I'd like to work for them. I actually told them I was not interested, and was actually happy where I was. But they persuaded me to meet anyway. Once I sat down with them, I thought of a very specific number in my head. "If they offer this much, I might take it." Withing two minutes, they offered the EXACT amount I had in my head. The offer was $1,000 more a month in base pay than what I was currently earning, PLUS commissions, benefits, a 401K, a gym pass, and a weekly luncheon with the crew. He then proceeded to explain to me how I would be doing half of the work than what I am currently doing, and I'd be getting paid more to do it. And the job was exactly the same type of work. Just less of it.
Less work, more pay? Hmmmm...
Manifestation #3 - car trouble averted
My car sort of just started running better. Not perfect, but well enough to give me confidence I'd get another long while out of her without any trouble. My car payment is really low, and I am not interested in purchasing another vehicle in this market. I wanted to keep things as they were for awhile. I don't like vehicular debt.
Manifestation #4 - new clients ($$$)
I pictured acquiring new subconscious entrainment clients, just in a very casual, general, no sweat sense, and out of the blue, I got two new paying clients for the upcoming week. Without advertising a thing.
Manifestation #5 - opportunity
Out of nowhere, a friend of mine pointed out something to me that I had forgotten about, which was of great value to me, and which would be extremely helpful to me in the future for a personal project I would be working on. I was extremely grateful and have been blown away by the abundance in opportunity this offers me.
Manifestation #6 - surgery gone better than expected
My dad's heart surgery went smoothly and quickly, without a single hitch, and his recovery was even more astounding. I had envisioned him recovering rapidly and also texting the family to say the nurses thought he had recovered quicker than anyone in the cardiac unit. And that is almost exactly what he texted!
Manifestation #7 - help at work
I was offered an assistant at work to handle my bids, when this store is not in the practice of offering assistants to the designers, least of all to help with bids. Not in the history of 23 years they've been in business has this been their practice. We are expected to work out our own bids. But this happened nevertheless, without my even having to ask. All I did was picture it, and four days later, it happened. Just as I had imagined. Verbatim. I was blown away. Hornswaggled, would be the more appropriate term, actually. I talk about it here actually.
Manifestation #8 - A pretty yard
I had been thinking, gee it would be nice if we could get the weeds pulled and some rocks down on the side of the house. And not a moment later, I noticed there was a little Latino dude across the street with a little Bobcat, scraping up the debris and weeds and bushes in our neighbor's yard. He offered to do our yard for cheaper than it would cost for us to rent the equipment and dump the waste at the dump. All he asked was that I point him to the nearest landfill. And he'd give me a discount. He appreciated my Spanish speaking, and I appreciated his willingness to give us a great deal. He was happy to do it. It still made him money. And it made us happy. And then, the rocks will be dumped and spread at a discount as well! And furthermore, that they are being done at all is a huge wonder in my mind. I've been waiting for this for awhile. LOL. Tink Happy Tots.
Manifestation #9 - trip with a loved one
I had a specific trip I wanted to take with someone, and they had not been able to go previously. But I asked again, and simply "knew" they would be able to come, and this time, the answer was yes, despite what we had previously considered to be a very insurmountable obstacle preventing them from coming.
Manifestation #10 - a loved one
I acquired a new friend. Someone I greatly admire and who I had hoped would be willing to consider me a friend as well, but hadn't thought myself deserving enough of their affection. And I was proven quite wrong.
Luck, or LOA?
Perhaps some of these items could be chalked up as lucky. But some of them, especially in conjunction with the thought that had immediately preceded it, were completely knock-out-of-the-park improbable. And multiples of them. And all in a short period of time. This keeps happening to me. Where I just sort of get in this flow, and things fall into place. And it's real. And I'm telling you, anyone can do it.
