365 Days That Count - Day 16 - Ask and you shall receive. Think less, be more.

Since leaving the corporate world my finances have been rather up and down.

I've been trying not to focus on it too much, I believe that if we obsess over something we in fact block the energy from entering our lives. That being said, as the world stands currently money makes it go round and I'm not in a position to pack up and live off the land so to a certain extent I have to conform.

I'm hoping that Steemit could help me make a little from writing but the reality is that - for now at least - I am a minnow and it's not going to cover the bills, but more than anything I do it for the enjoyment of being able to be honest with an open and like minded group of people - I really do appreciate how kind and receptive people have been thus far.

I make a concerted effort to not let money motivate me anymore but reality bites as they say and I have debit orders that need to be covered. By hook or by crook I seem to come up with the goods just in time but recently the pool has been running dry.

I was driving home yesterday thinking of ways I could deal with the situation at hand. There are a few exciting things on the horizon that combine both passion and providing which has been a prayer answered in itself, but none of them offer a financial reward immediately as is so often the case.

A short term solution has been on my mind for the last few days if not weeks and yesterday I found myself racking my brain for the answer, pleading with the universe to send me something.

This morning I forced myself onto my yoga mat for a morning practice and meditation - sometimes it is so hard to do something you know is good for you, anyway I managed.

I focused on trying to find stillness, to stop over thinking. I repeated over and over "think less, be more." As always happens, by the time I'd finished I had no idea why I hadn't wanted to do it in the first place!

The day is always set in the right direction when it starts on my mat, I showered and had
coffee, humming with a spring in my step. I gave my animals their ritual morning cuddle and was about to go and ride when my phone rang...

It was a lady I had worked with on set a few months ago, a job that also happened to arrive just when I was at my wits end. She asked if I'd be interested in working with her on a shoot in Cape Town starting on Thursday and paying really well, can you guess what I said - YES PLEASE!!

This job will give me more breathing room than I could've hoped for which means I can
continue following my intuition and the universe's guidance for a little bit longer. I am so
relieved, so grateful and so happy. Ask and you shall receive, if you are ready and open and
today I was.

Yay!!

Good night steemians.

Love,

Daisy xx
