You don’t have to go jet setting across the world to compile your wardrobe. Each person is different. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune either. Just make wise choices. Who cares if it comes from Target so long as it makes you feel pretty while wearing it?

Your Miracle-Making Journal

Try this. For the next thirty days, commit to your journal. Here is where you will list your miracles as they happen including the little idiosyncrasies, curious patterns, and coincidences. Record your dreams, hopes, and affirmations. Finally, record your commitments to yourself and others. Add to the Miracle Making journal daily, and before you know it, you will attract an entire new set of life circumstances.

You can add pictures from magazines and photos you’ve taken to give yourself an extra boost. If you walk down the street and see a house that looks just like the one in your dreams, take pictures of it, or draw it for your notebook. Refer to this journal frequently when you require motivation or you don’t know if you can survive one more day. Keep a section for action steps, where you chart your progress towards your goals.

Carry your Miracle Making notebook with you at all times, for you never know when inspiration will strike. I wrote the beginning of my very first paid article while driving over the Golden Gate Bridge in a fierce rainstorm. Do not lose your great ideas. Promise yourself that you will not judge the results. This is your space where you are free to visualize and plan your future.

Using your personal mission statement, write a motto, and say it to yourself daily. Continue to do this exercise until you have reached clarity. If you say it out loud and doubt creeps in, you haven’t said it enough. Write it on several index cards, and carry your motto with you everywhere you go. Place one on your desk, one in your room, and another one in the bathroom. Organize your life in a way that you can’t help but visualize your purpose. You can do this mental exercise with other things you want to accomplish as well.

The purpose of your dream journal is to write it down and make it known to yourself. Taking the time to write it out, I’ve found, is a little more effective than just thinking about it.

Now that you have made it clear to yourself and the universe, just what it is that you need and want, it’s a good idea to visualize it over and over. I took my first goal-setting seminar in 1980 when I arrived in San Francisco as a new starving graduate of Chiropractic College. I wasn’t sure if writing down goals worked, but I was willing to test it. My number one goal was to find a place to live overlooking the San Francisco Bay—rentfree. The goal should have been impossible to accomplish, or so I first thought. I didn’t expect to get results. In fact, I was saying to the universe, this works for everyone but me. I didn’t know for sure, but I was acting as if it could be true.
