Good Morning 2

Wow, just have to give you all an update.
I've been doing the Snooze Gratitude (as I mentally call it) for about two weeks now and have been seeing some amazing results.
Not only have I felt more centred and grounded, things have been going well in other ways. I seem to have more energy and work (both in the crèche and the coaching) goes well.
However I have to tell you about last weekend. I had to fly back to the UK to sort out some paperwork and stuff. Everything flowed so easily for me during the entire weekend, here are some examples

There was a last minute hiccup with the paperwork on Saturday and the 'other office' was closed and I was flying out the next day. I stayed calm and instead of argueing and saying 'But you knew I was only here for the weekend!' and adding stress to the situation, I set the intention that the right outcome would happen. I got a call tonight saying that everything had been sorted and gone through as planned!!

Despite snow in London my return flight was only delayed by 45 mins (when other flights were cancelled and severely delayed.)

I intended on doing some shopping and boy, did I shop and even better - most things on my list were on offer, 3 for 2, buy 1 get 1 half price, BOGOF etc. I started laughing at how many offers I was getting. To top it all the Body Shop were selling my favourite hand cream for £5 (instead of £10), I took two to the till and was told that if I spent £15, I would get a free shower gel, so I brought 3 tubes and the till recipt read 'Spent £15, saved £19'!

I found books I wanted in the second hand charity shops for next to nothing, clothes I wanted in the sizes I wanted in the last of the sales.

I also met up with the people I wanted to and had fun catching up with the news and gossip, had some meals that I wanted (including a yummy curry - which is hard to get in France).

It was a great 48 hours and I loved every minute, especially those that I spent every morning, doing my 'Snooze Gratitude' and over the weekend I had more and more to be thankful for!

On anothe note - a couple of people have asked shouldn't they be doing this in the evening, when going to bed. My response to this is that as long as it is done when you are in the stage between being fully awake and asleep, then you will get all the benefits. So what ever suits your timetable/body clock best. If you are a leap out of bed the moment the alarm clock goes off, then the morning may not be best for you. I am a hit the snooze button and retreat back under the duvet person, so the morning works best for me. I encourage you to experiment and find the best time for you.
