A Perfect Lunch Hour
Submitted by: Allen
Denver, COI just wanted to share a recent success with anyone who is looking for a little inspiration. Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t handle traffic well. I’m usually running late and tend to attract (and now I know why!) slow, poorly-driven cars in front of me on the way to and from work.
So, the last few days or so, I’ve been pretty much immersing myself in Law of Attraction materials…listening to CDs, looking at online stuff. It finally hit me that I approached my commute with so much negativity and stress, that I was practically INVITING the bad luck on the road.
Yesterday, I decided to intentionally create a lunch break that flowed perfectly. I declared that I would stop by the deli, pick up lunch and be home (I live about 1.5 miles away through dense downtown traffic from work) within 15 minutes. Furthermore, I declared that I would find a parking space right in front of said deli (which has never happened before) and that I wouldn’t have to wait in line when I got there (during lunchtime…yes…I asked for a lot, lol).
Before I got into my car I held a vision in mind for a few seconds of what that creation would look like: the lights turning green as I approach, the slow traffic all but gone from my path, the parking space, the quick service.
I also made the decision to not emotionally attach myself to other cars on the road that I might be inclined to perceive as a “threat” to this creation. I would just let them be.
I have to say, everything flowed perfectly! I made it to the restaurant in 6 minutes (a miracle in and of itself) and, when I got there, I saw a parking spot halfway down the block from the entrance. On any other day I would’ve clamored for such a stroke of luck, but I ventured closer, knowing that the spot I created would be there. It WAS! Right in front of the door! When I walked in, there was no one waiting in line. I ordered and was out of there in less than 5 minutes. I pulled up to my building exactly 15 minutes after leaving the office, relaxed and giddy.
I am now truly inspired to continue intentionally creating the life I want for myself, and I am starting to really grasp the indelible fact that anything I desire is mine, if I will only allow it to be (and disconnect emotionally from those things I don’t want more of!).
