Endless Days of Rain. Manifest Challenge days 26 & 27
It's my reality at the moment. And the reason why yesterday's day 26 is combined with today's episode of the #ManifestChallenge as is has caused my internet to be spotty. On a side note, I really like Streemians service of being able to schedule a post for a later time or date. I am horrible with math, so converting UTC to PST is a painful feat of Brain Olympics for me, but once I do I can rest assured, knowing my post will be published to Steemit at the time and day I set it to, without fail :) Heads up for anyone going on Holiday!
When your environment is dreary and dull, it can tire you physically. Millions of people suffer from SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder. They suffer depression and lethargy because in the winter months due to a lack of sunlight and the body's subsequent vitamin D production.
This is a wonderful time to see the effects of visualization at work! Close your eyes and imagine yourself lying on a beach, soaking in the sun. Hear the lapping of the waves and the chatter of the sea birds. Smell the saltwater and coconut twinged suntan lotion, and see the sheen on the oiled skin of your fellow beachgoers.
I tried this a few hours ago. My numb fingers and toes warmed up! My little ten minute tropical holiday tricked my body!
Brainwashing is a thing. But with obvious negative connotations. Brainwashing is tricking the brain to create false or altered beliefs.
Visualization is the same concept, only it is used to make positive changes. If you can believe it you will ahieve it!
It may be dreary and pouring nonstop outside, but the Pacific Northwest would not be so green and lush without the rain.
Create your environment and make your desires happen by manifesting them into your reality.
Create the life you want with the 30 Day Manifest Challenge!

Nice post babe
I live in Seattle, one of the rainiest places in the world, lol!
Come visit anyway 😉
Whereabouts are you?
I just might take you up on that offer ;) I am planning a visit next year.
We'll chat in Discord babe.
Copy that :)
..As the light of days run together and blur to grey like watercolors in the rain.. Well I know about S A D Alll too well. I grew up in Texas and it was a naturopath in Seattle (Brian Perry sports medicine in case someone you care about needs special care) that told me that my depression made sense because- in addition to the short day, grey sky season, the range of UV light is significantly narrowed by the atmosphere in the NW, so far from the equator so I get a very different kind of "dose" than what my body is calibrated to work with. Made sense to me! (and fyi acupuncture isn't completely painless, -just don't move-lol) and I think that this post is very relevant to the season. What an awesome way to apply visualization. We all know so much but we need each other to to inspire and remind us what we are capable of. I used to do this exercise with a guided meditation -"cassette" (vintage audio device) by Dick Sutphen. The beach was part of the induction phase. Sound of seagulls and the surf. Even now I can feel the puddle of warm wet sand engulfing my feet. I'm so amazed at the beauty as the orange sky made way for stars that begin to a ppear. And I'm happy. Topic- Guess... Creative Visualization. (That's what we called Manifestation at the time). I was only so good at manifesting at the time, but a few years later- it started happening. I already knew how- it was programmed deep. I'd moved to the NW. I was more involved in living at the time and there were people I wanted to know better, places I wanted to work, experiences I wanted to have and I REALLY wanted what I wanted- "Visualize with Strong emotion and NO INDECISIVENESS AT ALL" And every one of those passions were fulfilled - for better or for worse, lol but it was ALL good. I lived, I loved, I made bank doing what I loved and I lost- painfully. Being prepared and able to keep what you want plays a part but I don't regret any of it now. I know what I can do. And gradually it becomes more and more apparent- I know what to do, And I do it. love..D
Nice post, just the motivation I needed in these rainy days. It's true that if you can believe it you will achieve it, I just keep forgetting about it
I'm happy to have brought it back into the forefront of your mind!
Now, let's keep it there ;)
Hope you day is spectacular!
Thank you soo much for your kind words!

That wasn't BrainWashing was It ??
You tell me, does your brain feel clean?

Yes, It really got clean when I stopped watching Tel LIE Vision 3 years ago...
Erhmagherd yes! I don't watch the tube either. I love films, and totally adore the noir and simple awesomeness of eighties flicks!
