How To Upgrade Anything

We had our new bedroom shutters installed this week, along with our new handmade wooden bedhead. The room is re-painted and looks a million bucks. It's a serious upgrade from the dark, awkward room I suffered in for years.

This particular manifestation is of special interest because of what I did and did not do, and just how effortless the whole things was ... once I let my vibe line up.

And that's the crux of the story: the vibe. For most of the nine previous years I've grumbled about my bedroom - the cupboard doors that I couldn't get into properly, the dingy blue colour, the stupid ugly side lamp, the saggy bed, the awful green drapes...I don't think there was one thing I liked or enjoyed about my bedroom.

And then there were the endless conversations with Rob about, "when are we going to get new sidelamps? Can we paint the room a different colour?" and occasionally, " gosh darn it I hate these blasted cupboards!" (slam, crash, pout).

No surprise nothing changed for nine years. Yup. Nine!

Sheesh.

Finally I worked out that nothing was going to change until I changed how I thought and felt about the situation. What we resist, persists: case in point.

So this year I set the intention of upgrading my bedroom - even wrote it on my Manifestation Map for this year.

Then I went about appreciating the bedroom - as it is. No call for change, no call for something different. Just silent messages of love and appreciation for the comfort the room has given me over the years, for the love shared there with my wonderful husband, the good nights' sleep, the wonderful wooden floorboards, the great view.

Appreciation without expectation. Ease and grace about it all. Relief finally from the angst vibe.

I swear to Buddha not one week after I started this daily shift in focus, Rob comes home and says, "Let's knock out the cupboard." And followed that quickly with plans to paint, ordered a new headboard, shutters, and a carpet form India. Not one word of suggestion from me - he just jumped in.

And I did not lift one tiny finger to help with any of the construction, painting, and other bits. Nothing! Brand new upgraded bedroom that I LOVE and I did diddly squat.

Now that's pretty cool manifesting!

Detach. Appreciate. Relief. Allow.

I am going to see how I go with doing the dishes ;)

Love and miracles,

Zoe
