Make Your 5 Genie Wishes!
5 Genie Wishes, as a way to help you fall asleep faster and much easier... it works!
Generally, my Genie wishes are soo elaborate, lots of extra detail, like a little discussion of all that the Wish entails, so, more often than not, I nod right off before I'm even started on my First Genie Wish - haha!
Anyway, that said, I love the whole concept of making wishes, there's nothing wrong with that, is inappropriate for some meannie (it's always a meannie) who says, Ach, that's jus' 'Wishful Thinking' - Yes, it IS Wishful Thinking - and that's a VERY good thing - Wishes are just Hopes with another name, and they give you a very nice glimpse into your possible futures, what you REALLY wish would happen for you in your life, so, go on and make all the wishes you want, then go out and make all your wishes come true! : )
This of all the wonderful things you can Wish for, and list them when you are ready to fall asleep - it's a great way to put things in order, in your own head, a new way to prioritize what's important to you, today : )
Make A Wish - Make 5 Wishes!
Try making your 5 Genie Wishes - or any kind of wishes, or any kind of list, to help you fall asleep at night - it really works! Night night! lol! : ) #GetAGoodSleep!
Go ahead and do your 5 Genie Wishes - is very good for freeing your mind, you can wish for anything you want, it doesn't have to be altruistic, like you would do in a prayer (prayer is good, too, of course!), and your 5 wishes can change every day, as your life changes, and your interests and desires change. Make a Wish, Baby - Make 5 Genie Wishes! : )
I just finished reading
Beyond the Secret, by Dr. Lisa Love. Very interesting. I never did get around to reading
The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, but I love Steve Harvey, and he mentions it a lot in his books, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man... and
Steve Harvey mentions
The Secret on his TV show, The Steve Harvey Show (10am, Monday to Friday, on Channel 52 KSTW).
There you go - this link to Barnes and Noble will take you straight to
Beyond the Secret, by Dr. Lisa Love.
Anyway, Steve Harvey talks about The Secret a lot, enough that I was thinking about it when I was at the library, last week... some sections of our favorite library are kind of a mishmash of books, which is, in itself, sort of funny (but makes it tricky to find books without asking someone, or looking them up online), but that mishmash approach worked in my favor, last week, since I accidentally came across Beyond the Secret, so I picked it up, checked it out, and voila, now I've found a new book and perhaps a new approach to life! TaaDaa!! I'll definitely let you know how wildly successful I become, as soon as it happens... will start putting the energy out there to become wildly successful (so I can help even more people...!), since the whole premise of the book is taking a more spiritual approach to the whole Law of Attraction Principle. Very interesting, right? I really liked it : )
And this link will take you straight to
Steve Harvey's books - I love them all - funny, straight-forward, and really good, solid, advice : )
I like anything that brings greater insight into yourself, helps you cope better with life, teaches you little bits and pieces that will help you to have a happier, more fulfilled, more joyous and prosperous life, and then you can pass that information and those new skills on to your children, spouse, partner, students,
Readers... lol! Whoever you can pass the information along to, it's all for the Greater Good, right? Yep! Hello, Greater Good!
And this just looks like a whole lot of relaxing fun! lol!
I love the idea of
The Law of Attraction. All very
'power of positive thinking', but with specific goals in mind. Very useful in just defining what it is you really want or need in your life, and, of course, very interesting how those things can change so drastically over the years. One thing I really liked in Beyond the Secret was the notion of how what you really, really want might not be what is good for you (well, an old boyfriend comes to mind, here - ugh, what a jerk!! And I desperately wanted to marry him for years and years, but he was too cool for school to get married, so now he's just an old bachelor - yuck!! Dodged a bullet on that one! hahaha!) So it's interesting the concept that although you might desperately seek something or someone out for yourself, the universe might be helping you out by keeping it out of your hands... interesting, huh? Thanks, Universe!
But I really, really love the concept of the Law of Attraction to bring what you really want and need into your life. I think it makes you really focus on what you really want, and that, in turn, makes you think more seriously about the steps you might need to take to make that happen - and then there are the incredible gifts from God, or the Universe (pretty much the same thing, for me! lol!). I am a religious girl, if you haven't noticed, yet (!), so I pray a lot, and I started holding my Bible while I am praying, or put your hands on your bible - as long as you are connected physically to your Bible... it feels very effective. I first heard of that from Joel Olsteen when he was on Oprah's Master Class, and it really moved me. I'd never heard of anything like that, before (I'm Presbyterian! lol! We tend not to do anything that 'hands on', if you will! lol!), but I've been holding my Bible to my heart when I pray, ever since then, and I have to say, what a huge change for the better in my life. Try it, if you are comfortable with that.
In the meantime, think of the genie in the bottle (
nooo, you silly, not Christina Aguilera! hahahaha!), coming to grant you your wishes, and make your wishes right now - go ahead, I'll wait... done?? Now start to bring those thoughts into your life all the time, whenever you remember to! lol! It takes a bit of determination, but it'll work... and you can learn some really good meditation techniques in Beyond the Secret, too... it just seems like a very kind, very spiritual approach to The Secret... something to think about, and definitely a Good Read!
