Winning the Tennessee Lottery – How Would It Feel?
It was so hot today here in Nashville. When I arrived home, I had this overwhelming desire to just lie down on the carpeted floor in my cool lower level.
Instead of the floor, I found a comfortable sofa downstairs and just stretched out and stared up at the ceiling. I got the idea to do some intense focusing – what it would actually feel like to win the Tennessee Lottery? – (specifically – The Tennessee Power Ball?
- How many people would choose the same winning numbers?
- When would it happen?
- How much money would I win? – a cool $85 million came to mind – whew!
- What would be the very first thing I would do?
- I knew the answer to that one: seek out the services of a trusted financial advisor. I would call him, ask to book an appointment, request his services for my bookkeeping and taxes and then hit him with the news. Then he would tell me how much to pay the IRS.
Next:
- Would I invest?
- Pay off debt?
- Repay loans?
- Go on a spending spree?
In meticulous detail, I talked out loud to my ceiling, what I would do, how I would feel, who I would celebrate with, how my life would change.
After awhile, I started planning more things:
- buying a new home
- where would I live? Near an ocean? Near a lake? Near the mountains?
- Who would live with me?
- What would I do with my current home? Would I fix it up? and if so, to what degree?
- Then I had the thought: Would the Tennessean interview me (after I win) because of the date of this blog post?
I have never been so focused in my life. And, when I finished, I felt energized. I felt strong. I felt empowered. Quite frankly, it felt like I had a plan – for my future as a millionaire.
Now, that’s not all I want in my life, but it was fun to start there – and practice, practice, practice the intense visualizing, so that when it finally does happen, it won’t feel like a surprise.
Take time for yourself. Focus on something that you want.
It does not have to be that major of a life change. Just focus on a small thing that you want. How would it FEEEEEEL! Get into that feeling. Embrace it. Talk to your ceiling. Talk into a tape recorder. Play it back at night while you sleep. Let your vision permeate every cell of your body! Do this exercise over and over and over again. And then don’t be surprised…..when it finally happens!!! That - is the key to manifestation.
