What an awesome weekend! The first SIS Circle Lunch & Learn kicked off on Saturday with yummy food, an interactive workshop, and amazing women setting intentions for what they WILL receive. We talked about the power of the mind and the law of attraction. Next, we explored six steps to manifesting what you desire:
1. Relax, Breathe, Meditate.
2. Set your Intentions.
3. Release Negativity.
4. Put in the Work.
5. Live as if it is Already yours.
6. Be Grateful.
Let’s talk about the first step: Meditation.
Your mind is incredibly powerful. Dr. Deepak Chopra noted that we have an estimated 60,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day. He also notes that “although the mind is capable of creating life-affirming stories, it has what neuroscientists refer to as a negativity bias, a tendency to pay more attention to negative experiences than to positive ones.” Through meditation one can counter the negativity bias and improves the ability to stay focused. Being focused is essential to having a manifesting mindset.
