Thoughts Become Things
I'm still riding the waves of excitement from the Infinite Possibilities conference with Mike Dooley this past weekend.
Welcome to the Garden, my friend!
The Garden intends to be a refuge for human souls feeling worn down by the challenges that life can sometimes pose. It is an oasis, a space in which you can rest and recharge for a while. It's a place from which you can derive solace and collect tools, techniques, and strategies to live a more peaceful, abundant, and joyful life before making your way confidently forward again.
I’m honored and grateful you are here! And if you resonate with the work I do here, I invite you to become a subscriber. Either way, I’m glad you are here!
Hello, my dear friend! I hope you are doing wonderful on this fine Hump Day.
Wow! It’s Wednesday already. This week has seemingly gotten away from me.
This past weekend, DW and I took the travel trailer out to celebrate my birthday last week. Since we were having such a wonderful time and the weather was perfect, instead of going home on Monday as we had originally intended, we “played hookie” and spent an extra night.
It also gave me an opportunity to process some things and delay “re-entry” a bit.
What do I mean by that?
Well, in addition to celebrating my birthday, I attended an online Certification Conference for Mike Dooley’s Infinite Possibilities curriculum.
It’s rather humorous in an ironic sort of way that we were out “camping” at the time because it also allowed me to “act as if.”
Acting As If
Thoughts are ALWAYS becoming things. Whether we are aware of it or not. But when we realize this and decide to create our lives more consciously and intentionally, we make a point to “act as if.”
One of the things that DW and I desire to co-create in our lives is to go on the road and RV in a full-time capacity.
This is something that we’re both very excited and passionate about.
I also know, though, that there is “work” that I’m called to do. Work for which my spirit and I have been grooming me for many, many years. In order to make this a reality, there have been many pieces of the puzzle that DW and I have been planning and putting into place for a while now. Until this past weekend, though, I really hadn’t been called to test these systems and processes.
This weekend allowed me to do just that and “act as if.”
I am delighted to report that everything worked well and came off without a hitch!
The biggest challenge I ran into was my brain. Even when I had the time and space to attend a session, I got start times twisted up in my head despite having them on my calendar! So, I’m doing some catch-up to complete my certification process this week.
My Story
So, today, we’re talking about thoughts becoming things. Can you think back on a time when this has occurred for you?
It happens all the time, but most of the time, we write it off as a “coincidence.”
There is one time that I clearly remember when my thoughts created a situation in my life.
I would like to say it was a good one, but it was not.
When I was in my late teens, my boyfriend had recently broken up with me. Back then, I was a good deal more headstrong than I am even now. I did not like being told what I could and could not do and would often boast, “If you tell me not to do something, that’s exactly what I’m going to do!”
Well, he had told me not to cut my long hair, and… yep! You guessed it! That’s precisely what I did the next day.
He kept his promise and broke up with me.
A week or two later, feeling sorry for myself, I remember thinking, “What would he do if I got into an accident?”
Not too long after that, I did get into a car accident. One that I could not avoid despite my best efforts to do so.
And, of course, in the aftermath, the ex-boyfriend was nowhere to be seen.
The Universe had given me the answer I had asked for.
This is always occurring whether we are aware of it or not, and if I really sat down and put some concentrated thought into it, I’m sure I could come up with A LOT more examples. But that is the one that always comes to mind when the idea of thoughts becoming things comes up.
What instances come to mind for you? I would love for you to share in the comments.
Infinite Possibilities Journey Coming Up
Beginning May 11th, 2024, I will host a journey through the Infinite Possibilities curriculum by Mike Dooley (the Universe, himself). This journey will be for community members at the Gold level.
What can participants expect?
A digital download of the Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Changing Your Life workbook
Three two-hour virtual calls (May 11th, 18th & 25th)
Three weeks of integration support in the Garden Community (May 11th - 31st)
Now, there are two options open to you for registering as a Gold VIP.
You can register on Substack by becoming an annual subscriber ($222).
OR, if you prefer to register for a month-long subscription ($22/month), you can do so by clicking the button below.
You’re Already Ready - Just DO It!
One of the things that Mike and the IP community teach us is, “You’re already ready.”
Too often, if we wait to do something until we feel it’s “just right” or “perfect,” we’ll miss our opportunity or loose any forward momentum we may have.
With this in mind… I’m not holding back on this announcement until things are “perfect,” but - admittedly - there are still bits and pieces I need to get into place. So, if you do register, please be patient. I will have everything in order shortly!
I’m so excited about sharing this journey with you! I can’t wait!
OH! And it’s not required reading, but in case you’re interested… The Infinite Possibilities book by Mike Dooley is currently available at a HUGE discounted price of $2.99. (Please note: the button does have my Amazon affiliate link, which means if you end up purchasing the book, I will get a small commission from it.)
I’ll be back tomorrow, my dear friend, with the letter “U” as we continue our month-long journey through the alphabet.
Until then, take care! I’m looking forward to connecting with you again soon!
Sending you so much light, love, and Squishy hugs,
