My Practically Perfect Life

I had a friend recently tell me to write something that doesn’t describe how I currently see myself but instead where I see myself going. So, here goes!

As most of my readers know, because y’all are close friends of mine, my life is currently going through some changes. Big, scary, exciting changes that are putting in me in uncharted waters. I have always prided myself on being able to find even a bit of comfort when I am out of my comfort zone. For someone with so many insecurities I actually have a lot of confidence when it comes to making myself comfortable. I have zero qualms about eating alone in a restaurant or going to the movies by myself. I can walk into a room filled with strangers and leave with new friends. I also can take a topic and go so far away from my original thought process you would need to check a bag for the trip! Ok, back to where I was going.

Manifest by definition is to display or show, a quality or feeling, by ones acts or appearance. I am sure you have heard someone say that if you act the part you’ll feel it. Put a smile on your face and you will find some happy. Well that is basically what manifesting things means. Think it, act it and it will happen. I am sure you can ask Tony Robins or anyone else that has made a huge and wonderful life for themselves how much manifesting things got them where they are, and you would hear the answer “a shit ton”! I mean think about it, do you just go through life day by day with zero expectations and are satisfied with where you are at the end of the day? Do you expect life to hand you everything you want or desire? Do you think you will walk into a 7-11 and a winning lotto ticket will fall gracefully from the sky and land in your hand?! Hell no! You can’t get anywhere in life waiting for things to happen to you. Things will happen but not the ones you want! Manifesting what your life will be is not just glamourizing things you already have, but really figuring out what you want and need in your life and finding the best way to make it happen.

I know I know, shut up Nicole and get to the damn point! Ok, sorry, my ADHD is hardcore today! I have been thinking about this since I got that text from my friend. Where do I want to be, or see myself? Filthy rich living on a beach with no tan lines?!! Ok, that might be a longer term goal! I see myself happy. With a big smile on my face all the time. I see myself laughing so much. I see myself with new people in my life that encourage me to be my best self instead of trying to contain me in a box that makes sure I am available to help them. I see my boys happy and successful! I see my family living their best life! These may seem like vague goals but within each of them is a more specific one. Like being happy. I am a happy person by nature. But to be happy to the point people point out a difference in me is really being happy. Waking up with a smile on my face and a bounce in my step as I take on the fun and not fun things in life. That is happy. Dancing around and singing as I sand hard wood floors or work on plumbing or pack up my previous life, that is happy. I know there will be shit days. I know there will be days I don’t want to get out of bed and I don’t want to talk to anyone. But as long as I know that deep down I am happy with myself, those low times will be easy to crawl out of.

Wow, I have rambled on before but this one really is a doozy. I guess because there is just so much I can say, and so much I want to be in life that I don’t really have a good way to shorten up all of my thoughts. I have written before about a bucket list. I think a manifestation list is good too! Not things you hope to do, but things you definitely will do and become!

Here are the steps I will take to manifest the shit out of my life!

1. Visualize what I want. I have to see it, imagine it, put it into my thoughts as a picture or scene so I know what it will look like once it has happened.
2. Want it. Desire it. Actually get excited about what I am visualizing!
3. Believe in myself! I can’t make anything happen if I don’t believe that I can make it happen!
4. Accept that what I am visualizing will be. Not that it can happen, but that it will happen!
5. Make my intentions priority. You can shit in one hand and want in another and tell me what fills up faster…but wanting something and making intentions to manifest them are completely different.
6. Do it! Act on it! You can’t just wait, you have to do!
7. Allow what happens to happen. You have to have intensity in your desires and know the outcome you want, but you need to be ready to accept whatever the outcome is.

So look out chumps! Dragon is on her way!!
