Welcome to In the Flow with Lori Albert, A brief, Positivity-inspiring chat and meditation designed to uplift and motivate us to live our best lives. Let's get in the flow. Happy New Year. 2022 is going to be a year of, Can you tell them hyper about this? A new year of taking on challenges and manifesting that life that makes you smile. Oh yeah, I really, Really, Really believe that. And the fact that right now we are in the new moon energy. I mean, It's so incredibly significant. Getting rid of all that which does not serve us and inviting in possibility. It's like, It's just, It's palpable. I know that sounds kind of cheesy, But it's palpable. To me it is anyway, Right? I feel like the universe is saying, Okay, So everyone can calm down and know that this year is going to be one of balance and moving forward and connection. Oh, I couldn't be, I know, I know it's crazy to say, But I mean, I could not be more hyped up for this year, Right? So I have to tell you guys. Okay. So I love starting new things. Okay, Especially in the new year. Okay. Um, I just, There's something about and I know you, Because we're sitting here talking about it. I know you guys kind of get that, Right? So it's like we get that, That do over feeling, You know, And the mistakes and the excuses and the attempts of the past. It's like they get to be washed away and we get the chance to say, All right, Fine, Let's do this. Let's move on. Right now. So that energy, Like I feel that on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Blah, Blah, Blah, Whatever. Right. It's so exciting. So I was thinking, Of course, You know, God forbid that I should just enjoy the moment. There's always a lesson in everything for me. Right. So I was thinking, What if we were able to take that same energy and that same attitude to the start of every single day. Right. So every day we would feel that like, Oh my God, We get to start new. Because we do, You know. Now some people may actually feel that energy and be able to understand that and get it. But then there are those of us, Me included, That, You know, It's like sometimes I have to work out a little bit. Right. Got to work out a little bit. Could you imagine seriously waking up every day and feeling that excitement of the fresh start every single day. There's so much that we can create and feel and manifest as we sit in that energy. And that is what is exciting to me. Right. There's so much we can create and feel all of that. Like, I want to feel that energy every single day. Now, Here's the funny part. I say all that as an Aries. Aries people, And for those of you who are Aries or know Aries people, They love to start new things. Right. The problem is sticking with it. That's the issue. I'm fully, I'm so, So guilty of that. You know, So what I have done is, Is I have put, And this is after, You know, I'm in my mid 50s. And, You know, And so I am now at a place where I feel like I've learned what for me works and how to manifest and how to create that life. Right. And that is putting in accountability, Accountability and accountability measures, Putting them in place. That is, Or for me, One of my key things that I do. Right. Putting in the accountability measures. I don't know if that's the right way you say it. Right. So this is kind of what I want to talk about today. Keeping ourselves accountable can be truly the difference between success and having to start something over yet again. We're going to start over every single day, But we're going to keep ourselves accountable. Right. So how do we do that? OK, So here's a little secret. This is why I started doing live, My live podcast every single weekday. I started doing it because I wanted to keep myself accountable. I wanted to start to be able to meditate, Make sure that I got up and meditated every day. And it started several years ago at this point, And I would just sit and my my friends would like my close buddies, You know, We would all get on together and we would just meditate. And then all of a sudden it morphed into other things. That's how it works. Right. So but here's the thing. You have to create your own personal way of figuring out your own accountability system. Accountability buddies. Right. My friend and I used to do and I probably told us a thousand times, But we used to do gratitude emails every single literally for like 10 years. We did it. Right. So we would get up the first email that we would do, Sit and have coffee before you check the news, Before you check the weather, All that. Just sit down and write out five, Six, Whatever things that we were grateful for. Send it off. And then she would send one back or she would do it for whatever, You know. And that was the accountability of it. And that literally really started to change everything for me, Because when you can really get into and keep the gratitude right here, Right at the forefront, That's another thing on how to manifest. Right. So how can you find what works for you? Accountability wise, Like like what system can work for you? OK, So we're going to we talked about I just talked about a gratitude practice. Find a buddy with somebody else. Journaling and visualizing. Oh, My God. I can't even say enough about visualizing and journaling and honestly, Scripting. Scripting for me is the entire thing. I just I love scripting. You know why? Because it is. It's like your imagination gone wild, Scripting, Visualizing, All of that is like you can create any scenario you want in your life and script it out. Just write it down. And the key to writing it down is the reason why we write it down is, I'm going to get into what that is in a minute, But the reason why we write it down is so that later on we can go back and look back. That's like the key so that we can look back and go, Right. You know, OK, So scripting is this. It's like you're pie in the sky. What do you want to manifest? Right. I want to I want to manifest. Oh, My gosh. What am I going to manifest here? Making this up. Right. I want to manifest. The most amazing job ever. OK, So what you do in scripting is you write out, You put yourself in real time. And you say, Oh, My God, I got to get up this morning and go to the best job ever, Because I've got positive people that are all around me. I have got like somebody brings me coffee just because not like they're so paid to do it, You know, And I get to be creative. I create it and you're making this all up in your head. Right. I got to be creative and and and create this whole big plan, Action plan of blah, Blah, Blah, Whatever. And you script it out like it's in like you're like it's happening right now. Any scenario doesn't have to be a job. It could be or it could be a relationship. It could be it could be anything. It could be if you want to meet the pope. Don't ask me where that came from. I mean, If you want to meet them. Oh, My gosh. I was so excited. And I walked up and my legs were shaking. I thought I was going to fuck. I mean, You make it up. It's so much fun. Feeling free. In the present moment to allow yourself to dream, Because that's part of the whole thing. We don't allow ourselves. I feel like I'm on a pulpit, But we don't allow ourselves to dream, You guys. Because society and and our parents and all these other people say you can't do that. Like, Really? You want to be the next Oprah? You can't be Oprah. There already is an Oprah. Do you know what I'm saying? Like. You can't do that. You can't do that. We're always being told we can't, Can't, Can't. Well, I say we can. It's an ongoing process. You have to put in the work. It's all about the work. It's not easy to learn to manifest until you get it down. When I first started, I tried manifesting stuff for years. And I didn't have very much luck. Because I thought it was going to be this easy thing. I know so many people that have been like, Oh, My God, I'm going to manifest the lottery numbers. I'm going to be so rich. Why can't I manifest the lottery numbers? What's going on? Day after day after day, You don't manifest lottery numbers because you got to put in the work because you got to change your thoughts. And that's why we script, We visualize, We journal, We go grateful. So in lieu of meditating today, We're going to I'm going to start talking about I want to give you guys some affirmations that can start you on your journey. OK, There's gazillions. I mean, And, You know, I mean, First of all, Louise Hay has like hundreds of thousands. I'm sure like affirmations. But starting out with those affirmations. Keep the positivity coming into your head. That's one of the things right and allowing yourself to be free. OK, So here's a couple affirmations I want to share with you. OK, This is my well, There's two here that are my favorite. OK, So I'm going to read to you these. I am free to dream and create anything I choose. If you can write it on a sticky note and put it somewhere just so you see it, You go, That's right. I can I can create anything I want. Right. Next one is I am powerful and can manifest anything I truly want. The next one, I believe in myself. Yep. My dreams are my power. Mic drop on that one. I love that. Right. And then my last the last one I'm going to say for now is and this one is like my all time favorite. And you've probably heard it before. I can and I will. That one gives me chills. Seriously, That actually gives me chills because I know I can. Will I? Yes, I can and I will. Love that. We have to keep our vibration up in this whole thing. We have to we have to keep our vibration up. Keep the positivity coming in to us. And that is how we keep our our vibration up and stay in that place of happiness. And throughout time, I will be continually talking about manifesting because this just this today, All this stuff I just said, Scratching the surface. I mean, It's not even the beginning of what it is. You know, We're going to that's where we're going to leave it for today because I've went way over. So. All right. So until tomorrow, I love you guys so, So much. Until next time, My friends, No mistake.
