Instant manifestations? You bet! Here's how...

Hi there gang! 

Here is today's example of instant manifestations.

Here's what happened:

I was lined up to be interviewed for Ali Brown's promo call for her Blueprint workshop

BIG opportunity for me - 4000 people on the call, a chance to promote my website, and all sorts of goodies.

I'm excited, nervous, and full of weird fears and self-doubts: is my website good enough? My achievements aren't as big as some people's, does my blurb sound ok? Will people like me?

Basically, I was FREAKING OUT, and pretending to relax.

I rang the number...

And this is the message I got: "I'm sorry the number could not be completed as dialed". 
I dial again. Same thing. I dial again. Same thing. I run upstairs to try the other line. Same thing.

I send emails to Ali's assistants begging for help. It's the right number- try again. 

Same message.

I ring Telstra for directory assistance, they patch me through to the recorded international directory who wants to tell me the area code.  I scream into the phone, "I KNOW THE AREA CODE, I JUST NEED TO GET THROUGH!" 

By now it is half past the hour.

I center myself breathe, dial. I get in. Yay! My heart is thumping and I settle in to listen to Ali. I've been missing some terrific stories!

Then as I wind down, the phone goes dead.

NOOOOOOOOO!

More panic as I dial, redial.

Then....

I get it.

I need to change my vibe

Trying to will the line to go through to Ali's conference line wasn't working. Trying to 'think positive' didn't work.

The only way through this crisis is to find some thought to create some sort of sense of relief.

I realised I was yelling at the phone company and I said to myself, "I love this company - they are always so reliable." Then I repeat it again. And then again. 

And then I paused to really FEEL the truth of that statement - the company is really reliable - I hardly ever issues with my internet or phone - this weird thing today is very unusual, and isn't it great that I have been so blessed by such a good provider? I felt genuine appreciation, my focus shifted, my feelings changed.

In that moment as I am repeating "I love this company - they are always so reliable", the line clicks through and I am back on the call.

I savour the moment of gratitude and appreciation - I AM BACK ON THE LINE! Woohoo!

And then the doubt, "What if it drops out again?" But I refuse to go there, and grab the thought instead, "The company is so reliable - I love it!"

The upshot? I get to talk with Ali, everyone can hear me, it all goes perfectly!

Instant manifestation? It's all about managing the vibe, and even the tiniest shift can open doors. Or in this case, the phone lines.

I'd love to hear how you've made some subtle shifts for instant results. Cool, huh?
