Dare To Dream!

Letting Go

Thoreau: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Unknown: Don’t hurry. Don’t worry. Do your best and let it rest.

Once you have your Desire down pat on paper, do not let yourself fall into the trap of worrying about what to do next. Let it Go. If you find yourself getting anxious about the process or the outcome of your Visualization, gently remind yourself to Let Go and immediately focus on something positive to distract your mind from it.

This does not mean that you don’t have to do anything to get yourself nearer towards your goals though. Remember all the things I did towards realizing my Dream Electric Bike in my earlier posts? I did do a couple of important things, like making a public announcement on Twitter, this Blog, to my family and friends about my intention to Visualize and Manifest the perfect bike for me. I researched the net extensively on all the various types and models available out there and which ones might be suitable for me. I also went out checking on several bike shops to get more information.

Well you see, I did all the above with the complete believe that I WILL Manifest my bike. I did them with 101% positive anticipation. I was not worrying. So I did Let Go.

I think you get the point.

But why is Letting Go (of the process and outcome) so important?

Simple. When you Let Go, it shows you Trust and Believe it will happen. You are allowing the Universe to take care of the process. I will not bore you with the technicalities of this at the moment. Suffice for me to say that if you can believe the Law of Gravity, then you ought too, the Law of the Universe, more commonly referred to as the Universal Law.

READY FOR MORE?
Well you know what? I am just as excited as you most probably are. Precisely because as I am churning out this list of Visualization Tips and Tricks for you, I am also simultaneously Visualizing one of my own. What is it? Watch out for my next Tip and I’ll soon let the cat out of the bag!

Picture It

Picture it on Paper

Napoleon Hill: Whatever your mind can conceive and can believe, it can achieve.
Albert Einstein: Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.

Get your hands on photos of that thing you want to Manifest. Paste them on the paper that you wrote on, in a notebook, on your bedroom wall or any place you can easily see it. Upload it as a background or screensaver if you’re on your computer a fair bit.

I was spring cleaning 3 days ago. Found one of my numerous visualization scrapbooks. A very old one. I have a habit of making one, leave it somewhere and forget all about it. Anyway, I flipped through and saw this:

It looked so strangely familiar and I mentioned it to Nadia, my 8yr old girl. She said, “Mummy, isn’t that Walter’s Peak?” Walter’s Peak…yeah… We did go for a 9days family holiday to New Zealand in May/Jun 2007. I was 4mth pregnant with my now 1.5yr old baby then.

New Zealand is an amazingly beautiful country on earth. The mountains are simply breathtaking. We also did the ‘Walter Peak High Country Farm’ excursion in Queenstown. It was via a cruise on the vintage steamship TSS Earnslaw (in the picture above). Wow, I actually Manifested this one without even realizing it!

Note: I’ve lost practically all the photos taken for this trip (although we brought along 2 cameras!) The importance of backing up my computer had never occurred to me till I’m hit with a crash.. Any ideas on how I may retrieve lost pictures, kindly message me. I’d be truly grateful. Well, well, what can I say…my boarding pass at Christchurch airport above is the only living proof I have left of my trip..sigh..)

So anyway, go on now, get Your pictures!

Picture it in Your Mind

Visualize that desire of yours as often as you wish. But have fun at it. The moment you feel any doubt or like it’s a chore, Stop. Forcing it will be counter effective. It’s important that you enjoy the process and feel good about it. The best time to Visualize then is when you are most calm and relaxed.

Your mind is most receptive when you are totally relaxed and open. This is the Theta state of the mind. It is those precious minutes when you are about to fall sleep and just after waking up.

Personally, I love ending my day by lulling myself to sleep with images of my Desires playing in my mind. And when I wake up, I Visualise them again. In case you’re afraid you might forget, have your Visualization book by your side on the bed. Do this often enough, it’ll turn into a habit, and you’ll be on autopilot.

GET OUT AND ENJOY LIFE!
Remember, in my Tip #1 I told you to go out and Enjoy Life Immediately after you’ve kept your written Wish some place safe? It is very important that you do so. Why? It is about Letting Go, which I will touch on in my next Tip.

In this series of Hypnotic Visualization Tips & Techniques, I will share the technique that I apply in manifesting my wants, wishes, dreams and desires. You will notice how simple they actually are. I have been using the power of visualization since age 16 when, in my desire to overcome my shyness in public, I came across the world-famous book Think & Grow Rich by the late Napoleon Hill. That, was the beginning to a life filled with surprises, many of which still amaze me till today.

Truthfully, I was never aware that I was actually doing any Visualizing, Or Manifesting for that matter. It is only on hindsight, after I’ve completed university, started working and having money for countless seminars, courses and books on Personal Growth that things and events in my life seem to make sense to me.

More on the above as we go along in this series. For now, I think I’d like to cut straight to the chase. LET’S GO!

VISUALIZATION TIPS and TECHNIQUES #1

Decide

Ben Stein: The indispensable first step to getting everything you want out of life is this - Decide what you want.
Brian Tracy: Decide upon your major definite purpose in life and then organize all your activities around it.

There you have it! Simple. Make a Decision today, or better still, Right Now, what it is exactly that you want. Okay, go ahead, go grab a pencil and paper…

Now Think.. Feel.. use as many of your senses as possible…

Decided? Write it Down. Be specific.

Okay, keep the paper someplace safe; in your wallet, drawer, safebox or wherever you feel most compelled to.

GET OUT OF HERE!
I’m not kidding. You’re done for now. Go on out and Enjoy Life.
I’ll tell you why in my next post.

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Item Manifested: My Dream Electric Bicycle
Date Manifested: Day 15 (24 March 2009)
How Manifested: ..well, read on!

THE UNEXPECTED ‘EXTRA’ CHEQUE
Hubby was at work, called me to look out for the mails. He’s expecting a cheque for some consulting work he did for a personal contact last month. I got that mail, with the cheque as expected. It was generous but I’ve seen this before so I stuffed it back into the envelope. Then something slipped out. Another cheque! It was for $816. Hmm..what’s that for?

THE PUZZLING CONVERSATION
When hubby came home, he didn’t looked like he was expecting 2 cheques.
You see, I handed him the envelope with the bigger amount cheque..but I’ve hidden the extra one, hehe..

We were in the car after dropping Nadia off to her extra class.
Me: “What if, there is another cheque, could I have my Electric Bike?”
Hubby: (puzzled. obviously) “What cheque? Why?”
Me: “Nothing, just asking….(pause)..but IF so, could I?”
Hubby: (looked at me) “Hmm..but why? What cheque?”
Me: “Just asking. Just answer.”
Hubby: ” I don’t know, I can’t promise. Can’t promise on something which is not there.”
Me: “I’m not asking you to promise Anything. I’m just saying ‘what if?’ That’s all.”
Hubby: “I don’t know. Don’t want you to be disappointed.”

Can’t stand this any longer. So I said, “alright, alright! I found another cheque in the envelope. What is that for?”

Hubby: “Hmm? ..Why didn’t you tell me?”
Me: (grinning) “Heee….so can we got to the Bike Shop now?” (grinning)

Hubby turned the car and drove to…the Bike Shop! Just like that!

WHY THERE WERE 2 CHEQUES
Hubby did 2 consulting jobs for a contact. A 2day and a 1day. As the amount on the 1st cheque was rather generous, more than we expected, we thought it was for both the 2 jobs he did. Well, apparently the 1st cheque was only for the 1st job. The ‘extra’ cheque was for the 2nd job. Wow!

THE STRANGE TWISTS
Strange Twist No.1:
I opened up the mail with the cheque on 24th March. But if you take a real close look at the cheque, notice that it was dated 10th March? THAT was the day I actually made the decision to Visualize my Bike, Opened up this Blog, Posted Pictures on it and Announce on Twitter my Visualization Challenge 101 to my Family, Friends & Followers! Hubby’s contact must have gotten some telepathy thingy tuned right into my ‘Request to the Universe’ and he picked up on it right away!

Strange Twist No.2:
The model of Electric Bike that I’ve kind of finalised on, 2 days before I got it, costs $850.
The amount on the ‘extra’ cheque was $816.
That is like, I practically got just what I needed!

THE BIKE, OF COURSE!
Haha, I got Nadia blindfolded just before the bike shop owner delivered it to our place that evening. She was at her extra class when me and hubby went to the shop remember? So she didn’t know.

Look how thrilled Nadia was when she saw the Bike!

I love how the motor / battery / whatever, looks like. The seat is installed with a Security Alarm. When I switch it on, anyone who touches or sits on the seat will activate the alarm. Isn’t that just fabulous.

It has a Cycling Speed of 25-28km/hr. Just nice for me. Cool lights, very bright. Speed button at the handle. A white basket. Battery charges for 6hr and can be used for a couple hrs of continuous usage (I think..I forgot what the shop said) before the next charge.

They gave me this red helmet as a gift.

WHY IS THE BIKE IN THE BEDROOM?

1. It’s brand new and much too precious for me to leave it outside the house, of course!
2. It was in the living room at first, My Showcase. But…Farah, my 1yr old, can’t stop using it as her latest obstacle course to perfect her climbing craze..dangerous..
3. So there it goes, in the bedroom..sigh..

PROOF OF PURCHASE
Hubby got some extras for me; mirror on the right handlebar (for me to do my make-up he said!). Some tape bands thingy (don’t ask me, it’s hubby’s). With delivery charge of $15, it all totals $890. Hubby paid a $90 deposit and we settled the balance of $800 when they delivered it.

IT ALL STILL FEELS SO SURREAL TO ME but PHEW!
I can get used to it though..Thank you to all my Friends & Followers for all your Support & Encouragement!
Nite Nite!
Mona

P.S.
I will be off the computer till Sunday. When I come back on Monday, I’ll start posting on my other Manifestations that I mentioned in my very 1st post. And hmm..I’ll probably think up another Visualization Challenge too. Kind of addictive..

Thank you to: http://twitter.com/jeanklett, http://twitter.com/Neilw27, my blog Followers, my personal Friends & all those of you who have DM me on Twitter.

HELP! IS THIS GOOD NEWS OR BAD NEWS??
Collected more information about the exact features and specifications of the different models. I’m very particular right to the details. Well, I was informed that the more pricey ones are way too fast for my comfort. Ouch!!

They are fantastic yes, but with a young child and a baby on pillion, THE ULTIMATE SPEED is definitely NOT my priority! So there goes my $1300-$1500 range..sigh.

And that leaves me with the slightly slower models (25-30km/hr). Wish there are slower ones (scaredy me, hehe) but it seems this doesn’t exist in the market. So anyway, these types are going for around $500-$900.

Good News or Bad News? Hmm..

Look me up on Day 14!
Come on, don’t abandon me just yet. I’ve got 17days more to go..
Still need all the support I can get.
Au revoir!
Mona
