At the beginning of December, I relocated to Seattle for a workday.
The intention was to find inspiration for an upcoming starlit event in the city that I’m planning for entrepreneurs, and I definitely did.
As you read more, you’ll see that there are several prosperity practices woven into this story that you can use right now to create more richness in your own life and business.
After eating a healthful and early breakfast on the morning I arrived in Seattle, my first stop was Nordstrom’s. As I sifted through the clothes hangers that held $200 bathing suits, I knew that by being there, I was energetically manifesting an amazing future. The saleswoman walked over to me and asked me if I had a trip coming up. After we chatted for a minute about Maui and Los Angeles, she said. “You’re manifesting it.” Amazing how the first person I talked to in Seattle spoke to me about the topic of manifestation! I knew that the whole day was going to be divinely timed like that.
After browsing shops for an hour, I walked closer to the waterfront. And, as I waited at a crosswalk by a bustling street, a bird pooped right on the top of my head!
That’s good luck, right?
Thankfully, I was wearing a hat, and had conveniently packed a paper towel in my purse, which I used to wipe away the bird poop.
Here’s the bird poop hat, hanging up to dry after cleaning it for a second time at my home
To do a more thorough cleaning, I found my way to a sushi restaurant in the middle of the city, which turned into a cozy lunch. Here’s what I did while I was sitting at that sushi bar in the middle of downtown Seattle: I pretended that I was at lunch with several personal development teachers that I very much admire. I could not stop smiling as I envisioned being in the presence of these teachers, who have been in movies, on television, and on stages across the world. By this time, I also thought it was quite funny that I had gotten pooped on by a bird 20 minutes beforehand. I didn’t care at all, and was smiling so much that the sushi chef even complimented my smile before he left for his own lunch break.
My business coach and I have recently been talking about Tiffany’s jewelry store, and how going there can assist you in experiencing a new level of wealth. I’ve never been a person to spend thousands of dollars on jewelry, since I value overseas travel more than gold, but that day, I decided to walk into Tiffany’s for the first time ever, and try on gorgeous jewelry.
To be honest, I considered not going in. It’s so easy for stores like that to bring up judgments of our personal worth.
You may sometimes ask yourself:
“Am I worth trying on expensive jewelry?”
“Do I deserve to travel to an expensive city?”
“Do I belong in this high-end store?”
Yes, you do have a right to be there.
A little gift to myself from Nordstrom’s
After a few minutes of hesitation, I opened the heavy silver doors of Tiffany’s, and walked in feeling as though I deserved to be there. The service was delightful, and I giggled as I tried on diamonds and gold. I also overheard another customer in the room who told the salespeople that his budget that day was three thousand dollars. Yes, it’s true that people can afford whatever it is that you sell, and at whatever price.
As the first piece of jewelry was being handed to me, I momentarily became very self-conscious about my un-manicured fingers (manicures give me hang-nails, so I avoid them). I thought I would be judged on that, but then I realized that the man helping me didn’t have perfectly manicured hands either. I felt a sigh of relief. It did not even matter! We hold ourselves to such high standards sometimes, when it doesn’t even matter.
While I didn’t walk out of Tiffany’s with a piece of silver or gold, I did go home with a set of rings from Nordstrom’s that had been energetically tugging on me since I saw them that morning. I love how they sparkle, and they represent a new vision that I have for my business.
It’s your turn now!
It’s time to step into new territory and experience a completely new vision for yourself and your business.
It’s time to feel valuable and to feel deserving.
When you feel more deserving of luxurious experiences, your customers, friends, family and romantic partner will feel that value. The internal shift you make will be reflected back to you through more love, gifts, income, and greater opportunities.
On January 11th, 2014, I’ll be back in the starlit city of Seattle, and I want to meet you there. Join me.
