Positive Mindset: Forget Journaling & Manifest Wins the NEW Way

Most people agree that a positive mindset generates benefits. The question is: how do you stay positive when you’re trudging through the Desert of Disappointment?

And how do you keep that positive mindset when Time seems to be crawling, and you can’t remember the last time a Win fell into your lap?

The (Anti) Positive Mindset: Can You Relate?

Lots of Internet Celebrities preach the power of a positive mindset by touting Gratitude Journals, Treasure Mapping, and Wins Lists.

I know these tools work, but even I lose momentum during a dry spell — and I’m a certified Law of Attraction Coach!

Call me crazy, but trying to remember my Wins, right before bed, makes me too restless to sleep. (That’s probably because I’m wondering how to repeat the magic!)

Then there’s the little problem of feeling “forced” to be grateful for the same old positive thing (example: the roof over my head.)

Let’s face it: some wins no longer feel like a win, eight hours after they happened. To practice a positive mindset — by dredging up Gratitude for something that has lost all its “Joy Juice” — simply isn’t gratifying.

Fess Up: How Long Did You Do the “Journal Thing?”

Hey, I’m on your side.

I often forget to write in my Gratitude Journal.

Now for the bad news…

To “forget” is a form of resistance. People like you and me start with the best intentions. We want to change the Yuck, so we can experience the Yum.

But sometimes even the best of us plateau. Impatience sets in, and a cranky type of exhaustion follows. At the height of our Frustration, we no longer recognize our Wins.

So how are we supposed to list them in a journal?

In a moment of Inspiration (or was it Desperation?) I conceived a better approach. I created a tool that keeps my wins visual, and fuels my enthusiasm for manifesting more wins all day long!

My Solution Helps Me “Win” 24/7!

Since the Gratitude Journal / Wins List was becoming a chore, I developed a new system.

I created a Daily Wins Board from a giant calendar magnet, which is now attached to my fridge. Every time something positive happens, I run to my board and write it under the date.

Ironically, I started counting SO MANY wins every day, that I couldn’t fit them into the calendar square! So I improvised: I bought colorful sticky notes, and started sticking them under the date.

After 4 days of this new, positive mindset practice, my fridge has become a glorious MESS of rainbowed sticky notes. I had no idea that the Universe was sending me so many wins each day, until I stopped — in the moment — to record them!

My new, visual reminder of all the good things in my life fills me with hope. It helps me recognize that the Universe really **is** conspiring in my favor — not just once, but many times per day.

Best of all, adding wins to the “messy rainbow” on my fridge is joyful, not dutiful!

What’s a Win?

Anything you want it to be!

Below are some examples from my week:

1. I heard the 1st bird sing at sunrise.
2. I (finally!) released chronic pain through meditation and crystal therapy.
3. I had a beautiful communication with a tree, and I psychically witnessed its loving heart reach out to me.
4. I was invited to teach a workshop in Canada!
5. I adopted a wind-battered seedling that somebody abandoned in a parking lot. The Deva of this Coleus Plant now communicates with me daily, teaching me how to care for my new baby. (BTW: My cat is insanely jealous!)
