The Truth About Letting Go

-

 I recently had an experience that shed some light on the whole let go/don't let go debate in the manifestation community. Me and my husband took off last Friday to go to the casino for his birthday weekend. It was spur of the moment, so he didn't even tell me he wanted to go until the day before. Since I already had the day off I said fine, let's go. 


Normally when we go to a casino or Vegas or whatever, I hella hype myself up for the gambling portion of the trip. I say things like 'I'm the lucky winner of $X' 'I'm going to win the jackpot' and 'Every time I play, I win'. And while this method works to some degree (I see a small amount of wins with it, and don't lose all my money or anything-might break even), it never seems to yield the results I'm really looking for. 


Well fast forward to this particular casino trip and my husband turns to me in the car as we drive up to the casino parking lot, and says, "Are you gonna win" and I shrugged briefly and said "Maybe". 

This goes against everything I usually practice with the law of assumption and the 'never let go' methodology. But it felt right at the time so I went with it. 

When I tell you I won just about $1,100 in that casino in a short amount of time, I am being totally deadass serious. This is from a girl who usually could barely break even on a typical casino trip. 

All this is attributed to the fact that I let it go. I was done stressing over whether or not I was gonna win at the casino and just went with the flow. I told myself it didn't matter if I won or lost because I still have a great life so let my time there just be for fun. In doing this, I effectively took winning at the casino off the pedestal and stopped treating it as some elusive prized objective- my life is already the prize--anything more is just extra shit. And at the end of the day, this worked! Check out some of my casino winnings below:

Affirmations + Angel Numbers- Progress Right Now

So the first thing that comes to mind is 111. Basically I've been seeing this number consistently since I started my manifestation journey using the Law of Assumption. On the microwave. On the clock. The number of likes someone got on a Facebook post. I see it on the amount of calories on juice at Costco. On my receipt for groceries--literally anywhere and EVERYwhere.  It's something silly that I'm proud to have manifested because I know I did it deliberately. Sometimes, when I microwave a snack, I DELIBERATELY put it to 1:11 just for funsies. Needless to say, 111 is really easy to notice on accident but also especially on purpose.  That's what I felt like I was missing with manifesting physical things or situations. The ability to notice representations of my desires on purpose. During the week, I am typically really busy with work and it doesn't occur to me to think about my desires for two reasons. The first reason is that my work day is so starkly separate from ...

Your Greatest Distraction from Manifestation

-
 Have you ever complained that there's not enough time in the day to get everything you want to get done accomplished? Between work and chores and getting your obligatory 8 hours of rest in every night (in theory), there's not enough time to manifest your heart's desire? Well, I'm here to tell you that, for 90% of everyone you know, that not having enough time thing is totally bogus. Where is all the time going, you ask. What could possibly be sucking the life out of our schedule so drastically? Hint: It's not your work or school routine. Big shocker, it's technology.  Here's a great exercise to try out: go on your phone and go to Settings. Scroll down until you see 'screen time' or 'digital wellbeing' (for android users). It will show you a bar graph of your cell phone usage and what apps you use and how long you use them. I was quite frankly shocked at how many hours a day I use my phone. My average is still over 4 hours total to this day. ...
