It's worth mentioning that this tendency to be in the future isn't helpful to manifesting either. I think we all have a tendency to put things "out there" somewhere in the distant, unknown future. I thought about this a lot before succumbing to the aforementioned nap post extreme check- in- how the concept of being in the now appears to be at odds with manifesting what you want in the future.
I mean, there you are, wanting to pay off your credit card so you can buy a Vespa scooter. You have the picture cut out and stuck on the fridge, you have picked out the color, and even contemplated which sort of helmet would be the most fabulous. And then that darn credit card bill comes. And so you do the math (if I pay $xxx for X months by next summer I can have the scooter!) and when a sexy little scooter passes you by you get a happy grin but sigh wistfully "That's me next summer."
How many times have you heard or yourself said something like the following?
When I win the lottery, I will go on vacation.
I will buy that dress when I lose 20 pounds.
I can't afford that until after my car is paid off.
I am too busy to take a dance class. Maybe next fall, when things calm down.
When I have more money, I will give some to charity.
Guess what? None of those things are happening anytime soon. Why? Because they are not in the NOW. See the trick to manifesting is being totally present and still feeling like you have, are or are doing that thing that you desire. Even in it's absence, you feel like it's already there. And you are centered and calm in knowing that it IS on it's way, and it doesn't even matter that it isn't there right now, because you are having such a fun time enjoying the thoughts about this wonderful thing that you are not even the least bit bothered by its absence.
Your focus is on what you want, and not what you don't want or observe in your present reality. (The debt, the messy house, 20 lbs, etc.)
The Universe then matches your feelings (I am successful, I am living a wonderful relationship, I am healthy) with the circumstances that bring about what you desire.
That's when the magic starts to happen.
It's a lot like a game of pretend that kids play. In fact, it requires that same sort of intensity and abandonment that children do so naturally when they make believe. They put on the tablecloth and SWOOSH! They are a super hero. And in that moment nothing else could convince them otherwise.
Sounds like a lovely invitation to play doesn't it?
I could open a discussion about frequency, vibration and aligning yourself to your desires, and you can bet your life I will! It's one of my favorite subjects. But for now, I am off for a spin on my lovely bird's egg blue Vespa, to pick up bagels and coffee.
Vrrrrrrrmm! Vrrrrrrrmm! Ciao Ciao!
