And yet so often I want what I want so badly it’s easy to try and tweak things a little here or give a little push there because of course I *know* what I’m doing (hehe).

And invariably what happens is I manage to muck up the works.  And sometimes I succeed in bringing things to a dead stop!

So anyway… I thought it might be helpful to share some of the ways I get myself turned around so I can once again go with the flow instead of trying to swim upstream.

• First, if it feels hard, yucky, etc. and you find yourself making excuses to not do it, complaining, or doing it badly then it’s time to take a break.  It is definitely NOT a good action moment.  Go clear your head, divert your attention, do something to get your mind completely off things.  I promise when you go back later you’ll get more done and in less time than you thought possible.
• Second, restate your intent to have things flow easily.  Yeah the Universe heard your request the first time and its busy lining things up but perhaps YOU need a reminder (I know I do).  So restate your intent firmly and with purpose, fully expecting that it be carried out.
• Third, stop backing yourself into corners.  Many times when I’m trying to take control it’s because I have forgotten that the Universe can deliver in infinite ways.  When I needed a new TV once I got it in my head that the only place I could get one was this particular store.  So I was checking each week for sales and getting frustrated that what I wanted wasn’t yet in my price range.  One day when I was complaining to a friend, he reminded me that he’d offered me an extra TV of theirs weeks ago.  All I had to do was come get it.  Duh…I was too set on my own “how” to see what was right in front of my eyes.
• Finally… sometimes you have to just give up.  That’s right.  Give up, tell the Universe you’re done and walk away.  Very often this is exactly what’s needed to open the floodgates and bring your manifestations into your life.

I hope you find these tips helpful.  I’ll look for ya as I’m floating happily down the stream of life…. what color is your tube?
