Daily Gratitude: This one phrase can change your life. Yeah I hear you rolling your eyes (you didn’t know I could hear that did you?).

But I am here to tell you it works. When you decide what you really want, all you need to do is announce it, broadcast it to the universe and then let go. You do not need to (and do more harm by) outlining how it should come to you. The universe is so much smarter than you so why limit it by deciding the way you should receive this gift.

Here’s my example. Last year when I was looking for a new car, I had decided I wanted a van and I determined what I needed in it. I was focused on a new car since that’s all I ever had. The prices were outrageous though. But fortunately I had added “this or something better” to my declarations (I call the preliminary to the actual manifestation a declaration but that’s just how I do it).

Guess what. I ended up with the perfect van for me- well, almost perfect. I would have preferred red to white but I do trust the universe to know why I should get a white one.

You can use this in your everyday speech too especially if you’re not a believer in affirmations and manifestations. You can say “have a great day…or something better”. Maybe the something better might be getting a promotion or a kid who wins a tennis match. After all what defines a great day. Let them get the most they can.

Try it consistently and I think you’ll see it works. But it’s not an overnight miracle cure. Just thought I’d mention that (again) for you impatient people. Ha ha
