Yes, I realize that most of my blogs begin with a “how to” title. Yet, I am here to tell you now how to drop the “how to’s” out of your life when you are trying to attain a goal or attract some magic into your life. How many of you have ever said ” I know what I want, but I have no idea how to make it happen.” Most of us right? Well instead of playing the old mental war game of driving yourself nuts figuring out how to get from point A to point B, may I suggest a different approach?

This new approach would be to acknowledge where you want to be, visualize your goal, feel what it will feel like to get there and then completely surrender the how. I know it sounds crazy and even lazy, but listen! I am not suggesting that you create a goal and then do nothing to act on it. I am suggesting that once the vision is created, step back and see what shows up to get you on your path. Trust me! Opportunities will show up in such perfect alignment that you will have no choice but to jump and take action. You see the universe is always on our side, and once we know what we want it will set up the most beautiful synchronicities  to get us going in that direction. Now instead of figuring out the “how to”, we just have to get out of our own way, be open to receive inspiration/direction/connections and all the other magical synchronicities that will show up. Trust me, they will show up.

In today’s world everything we do is so masculine, its go go go-don’t stop till you get it. I indeed can vouch and say this approach works most of the time. Yet,  the surrender approach is just more fun and expansive. Instead of putting a cap on our manifestation’s and how they can show up, we now get to say ” I want to be over here, but if there is something greater that will show up- please show me that Universe.” Of course, this surrender process takes trust in yourself and trust in the magical workings of the Universe. You may have to do some work on yourself around learning to trust the workings of the Universe, and trusting yourself as a conscious creator. Yet,  once you can get to the point of  full blown trust and surrender you will be creating from a relaxed, confident, curious, and playful state. It is from this state that true magic can happen, as we have surrendered what exactly we think that magic should look like and how it should get appear. That, my friends, is truly living and co-creating.  Go ahead, give it a whirl 😉
