I’m doing the PRANA TRANSFORM 30 reset/cleanse with a group of awesome people and I noticed something interesting.
I didn’t intend on giving up coffee (even though it’s encouraged — but not mandatory) because to quote one of my BFF’s who is reading this and laughing, “I’m not into deprivation.” (And the PRANA TRANSFORM 30 is totally not about deprivation or I wouldn’t be hosting it and doing it. But low and behold, I noticed a few weeks in that I just wasn’t drinking coffee. I didn’t want it. I hadn’t restricted, I had just sorta forgotten about it with all the delicious vanilla and chocolate shakes I was sucking down all morning.
So. I set the intention the next day to actually just not drink coffee. And it was so easy it was a joke. I had no withdrawal or detox.
This made me think about HABIT and how powerful it really is. Notice what your habits are, just notice and be mindful, and then decide whether they are serving you. If not, gently set the intention to let them go.
People often gasp when they hear that I wake up at 4 am every day (and go to bed at 8 pm -- girlfriend loves her 8 hours of sleep!). I explain that 11 years ago, when my Sagey was a toddler and we were teaching an (exhausting) yoga retreat in Maho Bay, St John, I was reading a Wayne Dyer book about the Power Of Intention, in which he said he awoke daily at 4 am to write. I thought, "I want that."
It was an exhauasting retreat to teach because I was "on" 24/7 since little Sagey was traveling and out of sorts so she nursed all night. Agggghhhh! Then I taught and spoke all day. (Shuddering at the thought). It was NOT a "relaxing getaway" as my ex-husband said at the time, he he.
So...you know how long it took me to manifest that intention? About 5 years.
There are no overnight successes. I just saw an article called, "Panera, the 30 year overnight success."
So notice, ponder, set your intention and let go. Your miracle is on its way! Let the Universe take care of the timing. Then it will flow beautifully and easily.
