This Or Something Better

Lately I have been practicing using a new phrase. You may have heard it before, it's not actually a new phrase - I'm just new to using it.

I started because I've been having a hard time letting things go. I want to know WHEN and HOW. I'm getting caught up in the making it happen, which usually results in nothing happening. I wanted to get back to the allowing, but I felt like I had fallen down a well and there was no rope to climb back out on.

The more I've been falling into these angsty feelings of control and doubt, the more I can feel myself contracting. The more I contract, the more I'm not receiving, and that just makes me more angsty, like I'm coiling up tighter and tighter.

​As I looped round and round in this, I decided to change the wording. I know what I want, but now I'm asking for this or something better. If I don't get it, no big deal. Something better will come along.

This or something better

​​Whew!  That took so much pressure off. I felt like I could breathe again, and like I opened a window to fresh air for the first time in months. I had found my rope, and I was climbing back out of the narrow confines of angst.

​If you are spinning around in your own head, try using this phrase. It might be just what you need in order to relax, let it go to a higher source, and let in the inspiration, support and energy you need.

"I want this apartment, but I'm letting it go, because I know I'll get this or something better."

​"I would LOVE to get that job, but I'm not worried about it, because I know I'll get it, this or something better."

​"I really really really super duper want to manifest a million dollars, but whatevs, because if I don't get it, I'll get something even better."
