Have you ever looked for something like your keys or phone and can\u2019t find it. Then you wonder where you could have put it then get scared because you can\u2019t find it? Or you were sure you brought the receipt for an item you want to return to the store with you and can\u2019t find it? Or any number of other similar scenarios.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s common to panic when you\u2019re looking for what you need and can\u2019t find it, especially if it\u2019s important. It can create fear, or even panic, which lead to thoughts that are counter-productive to finding them, such as:<\/p>\n

* \u201cI must have lost my wallet so I\u2019m in trouble.\u201d
\n\u201cIf I left the receipt home it will be too late to return the product since I can\u2019t come back to this store again in time.\u201d
\n\u201cI can\u2019t find my keys and now I\u2019ll be late for my meeting.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019m in trouble because I don\u2019t know where I put the report I worked so hard on.\u201d<\/p>\n

And many more things that tells the Universe that you don\u2019t expect to find what you\u2019re looking for! This can lead to beating yourself up: \u201cI\u2019m such an idiot for not remembering where I put my keys.\u201d Or \u201cWhy was I too stupid to bring the receipt with me?\u201d That increases your negative state of mind to make sure you won\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for. Been there done that!<\/p>\n

I used to jump to negative conclusions, assuming whatever it was had disappeared and I was screwed. Thankfully I eventually recognized that I attracted not being able to find he stuff. So I began to use a combo of logic and spiritually. The next time I couldn\u2019t find my keys I reminded myself that they had to be in my apartment and then I affirmed, \u201cI have them.\u201d As I searched I continued to affirm, \u201cI have them.\u201d Within minutes I found my keys. When I couldn\u2019t find the voucher I needed to get into an activity after traveling to get there, I again affirmed, \u201cI have it\u201d as I searched my bag.<\/p>\n

Instead of beating myself up, I told myself that I was smart enough to remember to take it and as I affirmed, \u201cI have it,\u201d over and over. Shortly after I remembered that I\u2019d put it in my change purse and found it. I do this all the time now. Recently I couldn\u2019t find my phone. I initially panicked, thinking that I might have lost it the night before when I was out. I had to leave and needed the phone as I was meting someone and had to call when I got close. The worst part was the person\u2019s number was in my phone and I couldn\u2019t remember where else I had it.<\/p>\n

So I decided I had to find my phone. I kept affirming, \u201cI have it,\u201d as I searched through my backpack. I\u2019d searched it earlier when I was scared I lost it. That told the Universe I didn\u2019t have faith that I\u2019d find it. Once I began my affirmations I became determined to find it. Saying \u201cI have it\u201d or something similar makes you feel more positive about getting the results you want. Not long after, I found my phone in a section of my backpack that I\u2019d searched several time. It had fallen into a section where I had a small magazine and somehow got between the pages. But once I knew I had it, I found it there.<\/p>\n

The next time you misplace something, don\u2019t panic, instead, affirm, \u201cI have it.\u201d Then use logic to figure out where it could be. Making negative statements about it will almost guarantee not finding it, or at lest taking way too long. Telling the Universe that you have it attracts support for having and finding it.<\/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\/5494","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=5494"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5496,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5494\/revisions\/5496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
