I recently took a trip. The morning I was leaving was a nasty one. Besides rain, the news reported 50-mile an hour winds at the airports. I began to get nervous. I was renting a car in town near where I would be staying but they closed at 6PM. My flight was due to arrive at 2:45, which gave me plenty of time. But, \u201cwhat if\u201d I was delayed by hours and I got in too late to get my car? I needed it that night. The \u201cwhat ifs\u201d came fast and furiously.<\/p>\n

I got myself worked up with worry. So much could go wrong in the rain. Fortunately, I caught myself and realized that I was telling the Universe that I expected problems with my trip. My worrying indicated that I didn\u2019t have faith that my flight would be on time. I realized that if I didn\u2019t change my thoughts and negative emotions fast I\u2019d have problems during my trip.<\/p>\n

So I stopped, took some deep breaths and released my trip going smoothly into God\u2019s hands. Because my faith is so strong I was able to relax right away, knowing everything would go well. I asked for the best possible trip. Why not? If I\u2019m going to manifest, why not no it well? From then on I felt at peace in expecting everything to go super-well. Putting your situation or what you need into your higher power\u2019s hands, and trusting can bring stellar results.<\/p>\n

When I had to go out to get a cab, I hated the idea of using my umbrella because I didn\u2019t want a wet one on the plane. Someone in the lobby offered me his so I could run to the corner. Trying to get a cab in NYC at 9:30AM in the rain is usually tough. But as I go to the corner, one pulled up immediately and let me ride back to my apartment to get my things. I looked up and said \u201cThanks!\u201d Miraculously, there was NO traffic on the way to the airport\u2014on a rainy morning at the tail end of rush hour! Once again I looked up and said \u201cThanks!\u201d<\/p>\n

When I checked my bag the guy said, \u201cYou\u2019re lucky, your flight is on time.” Once again I looked up and said \u201cThanks!\u201d Before boarding they kept asking for volunteers to give up their seats as they were overbooked. And as we boarded, they also said people with large carry-on bags had to check them as there wasn\u2019t much room left in the overhead compartments. My bag was large but I kept it and found room for one bag\u2014right over my seat. And a guy immediately offered to put it up for me. Once again I looked up and said \u201cThanks!\u201d And on this very overbooked flight, the seat next to me was empty. Once again I looked up and said \u201cThanks!\u201d<\/p>\n

What could have been a very bad experience, which I originally expected, turned into a series of miracles because I trusted completely that it would all go very well. Releasing my trip into God\u2019s hands assured me that it would go well. As each miracle unfolded, I got more excited and expected more. We often let our expectations based on current circumstances cloud our positive vibration. But you can get past that by releasing whatever it is you need into your higher power\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

The more you see it work, the stronger your trust will be, and the less you’ll allow yourself to conjure up negative “What ifs.” This\u00a0 will also help you to build and keep a vibration and expectation that\u2019s strong enough to attract what you want.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4141"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4143,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4141\/revisions\/4143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
