Things I love: Day 3— Travel Quote

There’s nothing I love better than getting inspiration from amazing writers. Whether it’s seeing a quote on Pinterest or spotting one scrolling on Instagram, great quotes always get that fire going in my belly. They re-awaken my dreams and my yearning to travel to a new destination or to experience something new.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes from author Jack Kerouac:

YOLO. Carpe Diem. No day but today.  I am feeling the urge to book my next plane ticket now!  Where do you want to go next?

All Love,

Alicia

Quote- All You Need is Love

 

I was having a rough day (Mercury is in retrograde AND the moon is being all weird with this eclipse and another one coming up this month!), and my friend sent this to me. It immediately turned up the corners of my mouth into a smile.  Love is all anyone really needs. And a tiara is definitely nice. Aaand the cookie doesn’t ever hurt hehe 😀 Despite all the chaos and turmoil, my life is not so bad. Especially now that I have a cookie in my hand!

Rock the love, baby. Rock. The. Love.

6 Tips on How to Attract Success

The past two weeks were better than I expected. I was really hurting for cash and desperately needed to earn more money. As a private acting coach, part of my income does depend on whether actors get auditions and whether they want to coach with me.  I can’t control when they get auditions so sometimes it’s tough to know where that next check is coming from.

One night I sat in my bed freaking out looking at all the negative stuff that was happening: I barely had enough money for groceries, I needed gas in my car, I was on my last pair of contacts and desperately needed new ones, my computer was on the fritz, and yet I didn’t have enough money to fix any of these problems. F**K!!! What was I gonna do?! I took a deep breath and pulled out my journal. This cannot be the end of me. This WILL NOT be the end of me. SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN. This isn’t how I want to live! No. It’s time for a change! I grabbed my pen and started furiously writing what I wanted to happen:

I am making $___/wk. Money flows to me easily and effortlessly. New clients fall into my lap easily and effortlessly. I have an abundance of money. I am making $____/wk. Something financially amazing is happening right now. 

I wrote this over and over and over again, demanding it to be true from the Universe and until I believed that it was going to happen. Something good was gonna come my way.

I then started writing a list of things I did have. I had enough food in my kitchen for the next week (eggs, oatmeal, frozen veggies, protein shakes, frozen berries, etc). I can walk to work so I can save the gas in my car for auditions. I have plenty of clean clothes to wear. I have a great job that I love. I have my iPhone if my computer breaks down. etc. I started to see that I had a lot of things already in my life and that I was gonna be okay. I was gonna make it through this fine. I breathe a heavy sigh of relief and went to bed.

The next morning I woke up with a call for work. Two of my clients requested me for a coaching and a new guy wanted to coach with me. HOORAY!! My prayers have been answered! Thank you, Universe!!! I leaped out of bed and got ready to go to work. I repeated the same journaling every night for the next two weeks. And let me tell you: when my check came in, it was the highest amount I’ve ever earned AND I made my goal. I felt so accomplished and proud of myself for staying focused on the good and being grateful for all the clients that kept coming back to me.

Here are 5 Tips on how you can attract your own success:

1. Stop looking at what you don’t have. You get what you focus your attention on. So if you are constantly thinking, “I never have enough money. I never have enough opportunities. My job doesn’t appreciate me.” Then you are going to continue to manifest those things.

2. Clarify what you want. Make a list of what you actually want. I want more money to pay my bills and have enough left over to buy whatever I want. Great! Quantify how much you want to earn per week. And make it something that makes you smile.

3. Write out what you want in the present tense until you believe it. Keep it in the present tense so that you are manifesting it to happen RIGHT NOW. For example, Money flows to me easily and effortlessly. I attract new clients everyday. Happiness fills my life.

4. Do actions that forward you towards that goal. Ask for a raise. See if your boss needs more help with anything at work. Inquire if anyone else needs your assistance or help. You just might get a yes!

5. Write down your successes for the day and what you are grateful for.  Maybe you didn’t get all the money that you wanted, but you earned 80%. CELEBRATE THAT. You are opening up the flow to you. Keep it open so more good things can come into your life.

6. Rinse and Repeat. Continue to re-focus your thoughts from what didn’t happen to what did happen that was good and what you want to have happen that is good. Again, you get out of life what you put into it. So put in the good thoughts. More good will come.

At the end of the day, we all just want to FEEL GOOD. So focus on the things in your life that put a smile on your face. We could all smile more. And we all deserve success!

Monday Mantra: Feed Your Soul

It’s Monday Morning, and it’s gloomy outside. Ugh. I needed a little motivation to get out of bed this morning and I found this quote:  “Whatever’s good for your soul… do that.” Reading it made me smile ❤

What’s good for your soul? For me, it’s: eating a protein-packed breakfast, going for a long walk with my dog, putting on clothes that make me feel beautiful, adorning my feet with the brand-new pumps I purchased this weekend, making eye contact with the person I’m talking to, putting a smile on someone else’s face, wearing red lipstick, giving a friend a hug, writing in my journal.  There are countless other things. The more I think about it, the more I realize how many good things await me today.

What things are good for your soul? What makes you smile? Today, try to do at least one of those things. Who knows? You may be smiling a lot more.

How to Feel Fabulous

 

 

I love this quote! Often times, I find that I am doing things that don’t make me happy or buying something that I honestly don’t really love. Why do it then??

Ask yourself these questions to feel more fabulous:

1. Does hanging out with this person make me happy and good about myself? If the answer is yes, then great! If the answer is “eh…” or “not really,” then DON’T DO IT! Life is short, hang out with those people who love you and lift you higher.

2. Does this piece of clothing/accessory make me feel like a million bucks? Do I “the amount on the price tag” love it? If the answer is yes to both questions, then get it! If the answer is no to either one, then DON’T BUY IT. We end up only pulling 20% of our wardrobe out most of the time, so stop filling it with things that you kind of like and start filling it with things that you LOVE. You’ll feel more confident and beautiful when YOU love the things you wear.

3. Is this item useful in my everyday life? Is it a necessity for me to have? Does it bring happiness and joy into my life? If the answers are yes, then keep it. If the answer is no, then get rid of it! I’m a super sentimental person and often hold on to a lot of old cards, clothes, and gifts as mementos. Some of these items do bring me joy, but if that t-shirt or birthday card has been sitting in the back of a drawer for a year and you haven’t touched it, let it go. When we clean out our space, we make room for more good things to come into our life.
