A Lesson In Manifesting....

Okay so this is where you may think I'm a little crazier than I already am.

I do believe in the power of manifestation. I do believe that our thoughts shape our past, present and future.

I believe that if you TRUELY believe something that you can make it happen.

The problem is sometimes making yourself really believe it. Our bodies are powerful things, but so are our minds. Often we can put our bodies through grueling tasks much easier than we can put our minds through it.

This may sound silly, but it really is a lesson I learned today.

I love the band Train. I've always liked them but went to go see them this past March in an intimate venue. It may have been 1000 people, but it was in an old theatre with fantastic acoustics and their stage performance (combined with Pat's ability to sing) really made me fall in love. Pat was BORN to sing. He LOVES to sing and he can give you chills at the drop of a dime. In fact, he sang a song completely unplugged. No mic. No nothin. You could've heard a pin drop in that theatre and it was a really beautiful moment. I couldn't walk out of that concert not loving them.

Train will be playing with John Mayer (who I could care less about truthfully) here on Saturday. The local radio station is doing a "Listener Lounge" promotion where it is a small, intimate setting. Train will play a 5-7 song set from 3-5pm.

So last night Meredith and I were on the phone and I kept telling her "We just have to say we're going to win and we will."

This morning when I got in my car the very first song I heard on the radio was "Meet Virginia." What a great way to start off the day I was going to win those tickets!

I get to work and started listening. I was even listening on my phone (via IHeartRadio). I got a text message and turned off the radio. Meredith called my office phone and told me to start calling.

I did. I called and called and called and called and called. To the point I was thinking "they have got to have a winner." Called some more. Then someone answered:

"G105."
"Um hey, do you guys still have Train tickets?"
"What?"
"Do you still have the listener lounge tickets for Train?"
"Who?"
"TRAIN!"
"Yeah, you're caller 15!"

Which was then followed by a lot of "NO! SERIOUSLY? OMG. ARE YOU SEROIUS? NO, SERIOUSLY?!?!?!" and a lot of not being able to breathe and my adrenelin was pumping so fast I was shaking and I thought he was messing with me because he already started off that way....

SERIOUSLY! I WON THE FUCKING TICKETS!!!!

I am the proud owner of 2 tickets to the Red Room Listener Lounge event.

I ran into Meredith's office. Shut the door and said "Don't scream."

We proceeded to scream and hop in circles like 2 12 year old girls because that is what we turn into with things like that. Maybe we just regress to when we met our freshman year of high school....

-------------------------
Cool story, huh?

I started thinking about how easily I manifested that. How I just said I was going to and did. How it HAPPENED! (OMG I've never won anything on the radio before.)

Now the lesson in manifesting my weight loss, health and fitness begins.

I WILL break into the 170s.

I WILL hit my goal weight.

I WILL continue to be healthy for the rest of my life.

I WILL continue to work out and enjoy being physically active.

I WILL get this body of mine toned up.

I WILL love my body.

I WILL treat it better.

I WILL look the way I want to.

I WILL not be frustrated.

I WILL keep on truckin' with a smile on my face.

How about you?
