Every hour of your life could play out in trillions of ways. 

The possibilities are limitless. And the specifics of how any given hour plays out is influenced by trillions of factors.

The single most important factor that influences how this hour, this day and this life plays out for you is what you focus your thoughts and attention on… generally and specifically.

To catch this principle, you do have to be willing to zoom out and look at the overarching journey of your life and your soul, which can unfold and be facilitated in wonderful ways even by very un-wonderful experiences.

In other words, even the unwanted events of your life can ultimately serve your Big Dreams and Sacred Contracts—the Bigger Picture—that the Big You came here to live out.

(Side note: This is why you’ve gotta be careful with readers, intuitives and clairvoyants. There are trillions of ways a day could play out. And even the best intuitive predictor is only seeing one of those ways. By telling you about what they see, they inevitably influence how YOU influence the field of possibilities by influencing what you think about and focus on. So if you do choose to talk with a predictor… choose someone who knows the power of their words and is wise and responsible about how they wield that power.) 

All of that’s just for context. 

Now.  

When I wake up in the morning, and open my eyes… 

And when Londyn wakes up and climbs into my bed to start the day…

And when I lead rituals, teach programs, start coaching sessions or kick off conferences… 

I take a moment to energize the day’s possibilities very intentionally with these 7 powerful words:

WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS PERFECT DAY. 

I say this out loud every single day, and I say it before the day gets started… before I know how the events will play out. 

And I don’t say this in an effort to make things turn out in any certain way. I say this because it is true. 

I want to share with you why I say those words so often—WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS PERFECT DAY—and why I teach you to declare this over and over again, every day. These words helped me heal from my ancestral and this-life trauma, they supported my process of recalibrating my inner landscape, they cultivated my inner peace during the hard work of liberation and they have helped radically transform my life. 

In other words: This worked for me. 

Please receive the rest of this as equal parts statement of INTENTION—understand the fullness of why I say this and think you should, too—and INCANTATION: as you hear this, you will feel some resonances, some knowings and some energies that you’ll need for this week and this season will activate and come forth in you in fuller ways. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day, we are no longer begging for scraps from the Universe. 

And we’re not asking for the day to unfold in a Photoshopped, “for-the-Gram” version of perfection. 

We are declaring our trust that the Divine Genius Plan for our lives can and will come to pass today, in perfect ways.

We are practicing releasing fear and anxiety into the field and allowing their energy to transform into intention, trust and desire. 

We are declaring our trust in Divine Creative Power to activate the Genius within us in some way on this day, whether the Genius within us says to rest or to go get a bone broth… or to begin a masterwork. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we step into maximum receptivity and open our visual field to see the opportunities for that to happen as they arise, whether they arise in the form of an opportunity to break a contentious conversational script with our children and be the Great Parents we came here to be… or whether they arise in the form of a download that creates a synchronicity moment that lights up an opportunity to write the book or build the movement we so deeply desire to create. 

When we give thanks for this perfect day BEFORE the day even gets started in earnest, we are agreeing with Divine Order and Divine Timing. We become a little less prone to judge and track our progress. We become a little less needful of the delusion that we control anything. We start looking for the wonderful things that we can extract from literally any experience. 

And we begin to break the hold of time scarcity and let things take the time they take. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we begin to agree that Divine Order is being established and instilled within our cells, our minds, our lives, our families, our bank accounts, our businesses, our teams, our creative endeavors… all of our affairs… that our lives and the atoms of our experience are re-ordering and re-aligning to the Sacred Contracts and reasons we came. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day the moment we open our eyes, we cst a vote in the direction of knowing that EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS WORKING OUT FOR US, even as we learn to know that sometimes this alignment will look like destruction before it looks like creation… and sometimes it feels like loss, crisis, inner conflict and catastrophe until we shine light on the shadows, break the identities and dissolve the patterns that need dissolving for us to actualize our True, Sacred Self: the version of us that is maximum awake, maximum alive, maximum health, wealth, love and self-expression. 

Maximum freedom. Maximum wholeness. Maximum joy. Maximum creative power. 

When we heed these spiritual alarm clocks and wake up from the trances of culture, programming, trauma and fear… we begin to get glimpses into our REAL, heretofore unlived lives, and we get the cosmic green light that these REAL lives start right freaking now. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we surrender to Divine Order, without surrendering our power to create. 

In fact, when we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we begin to prep. We paddle out to the surf break. We get ready to catch the wave of Creative Power that’s already trying to flow to us and through us. We get on the same page as all the assistance that’s trying to come. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we recalibrate our nervous systems. We downregulate the arousal. We open our Inner Pipeline to receive the inspired ideas and nudges and opportunities we couldn’t see before. 

We allow the Divine Downloads to drop in and the natural next steps to light up. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we attune. 

We get on the same radio station frequency as the wholeness, completion, liberation and joy that we want, and that we ARE. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we get in the psychological, emotional, thought-pattern and spiritual posture of “it’s already done, I can stop performing so damn hard now”. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we get into the thought mode of there’s nothing about me and there’s nothing about my past and there’s nothing about the world and there’s nothing about right now that needs to be fixed or changed or judged in this moment. 

It’s all a cosmic play, unfolding in perfect timing. 

And into the space that you create when you wake up and give thanks for this perfect day, inspiration can flow. It WILL flow. You can take action, from the place of creation and love and joy… and not scarcity or the fear of unwanted outcomes. And when the actions you take come from creation and love and joy and intentional alignment, what you create via these actions is more beautiful and more effective in the bread-and-butter world than anything you could ever create from fear. 

This is the only mode of action from which your True Sacred Self—your Big Self—can begin to let your Little Self start dreaming your Big Dreams. This is the only mode from which you can begin to desire the most delectable desires… the ones that are written into the Sacred Contract, Divine Genius plan for your life.

And hey—you never have to worry about whether the dream you’re dreaming is your truest, biggest dream, because the small ones and the resistance they spark is precisely that triggers you to shed what needs shedding and heal what needs healing for the Big Dreams to drop in. And the small, misaligned dreams and the actions you take in service of them is how you learn, grow, get the skills and practices you’ll need when your Big Dreams DO light up, which they always do in Divine Order and Timing. 

So you can trust your Wise Inner Being to have you dream what you need to dream at any given moment to become what you came here to become. And you can trust the Little Self goals to transmute into your Big Dreams, in Divine Timing, as you take little steps and big leaps. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… you set yourself up to let no thing, no hour, no event and no day be wasted on you.

You set yourself up to milk every moment for SOMETHING. 

Sometimes, for wisdom and clarity.

And sometimes… for play. For lightness. For opportunities to rollerskate outside with the other 50 year old women at the park. For the chance to give a BRILLIANT piggy-back ride to a toddler. For the chance to hug a pug or savor some art or watch a whale or soak in a bath. 

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we set up a platform from which you can do some shadow work when you need to, and from which you can emerge from the shadows when the time is right. 

When we wake up and give thanks for the perfect day, we tune into the signals that tell us when the time is right to set down heavy and turn to lightness. (Not light vs. dark… Light vs. HEAVY.)

When we wake up and declare that today is a perfect day… we give ourselves and everyone we know a gift. 

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT #1: 

Put this on a post-it on your bedside table: WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS PERFECT DAY.

Practice saying this aloud, even in a whisper, the moment you wake up: WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS PERFECT DAY.

Write daily in your journal or at the top of your to-do list for the week: WE GIVE THANKS FOR THIS PERFECT DAY.

And set an alarm for every hour on the hour to say this to yourself, one time or 100 times: EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS WORKING OUT FOR ME. 

Then, look for ways that this is true, all day throughout the day, all week. Or maybe all day everyday for the next 40 or 60 years. 

Whatever works for you! 

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT #2: 

Give an actual gift to yourself every day for the next 12 days. 

Could be a thing you buy, not as a reward for closing a deal, but just because you want it and you can.

Could be a meeting you cancel because it feels shackles-off. 

Could be getting a sitter so you can write or hike or… whatever. 

Just make sure it feels like a gift. And make sure you thank yourself for giving it. 

Go ahead… put it on your calendar. One gift a day.

Head up + heart out,
