Relaxamation - Every Day, I Expect Magic to Happen in My Life

Today, we are exploring a powerful shift in perspective: the conscious expectation of magic, which can support your mental health after a cardiac health event or diagnosis. If you don’t know what a relaxamation is, then you may want to read my blog or listen to the episode called Relaxamations Explained – The Big Calm & The Feel-Good Factor.

Please do not listen to the relaxation segment of this episode while driving or operating machinery.

Now, when I say ‘magic,’ I’m not talking about card tricks. I’m talking about those synchronistic moments, the unexpected opportunities, and the beauty that exists in the periphery of our lives.

Did you know that your brain actually has a built-in ‘gatekeeper’ for magic? It’s called the Reticular Activating System, or the RAS. This is a network of neurons in your brainstem that acts as a filter. Every second, you are bombarded with millions of bits of sensory data. You can’t process it all, so the RAS decides what gets through to your conscious mind.

It highlights what you focus on. It’s why, when you decide you like a specific car, you suddenly see that car everywhere. By consciously telling yourself, ‘Every day, I expect magic to happen,’ you are actually reprogramming your RAS to hunt for evidence of good things. Your unconscious mind looks for evidence to back up your conscious beliefs. If you expect the mundane, you see the mundane. But when you expect the extraordinary… your brain finally gives you permission to see it.

Expect magic, because it is already looking for you!

Today’s Affirmation:

Say your affirmation 5 times each as a set. Repeat your set of affirmations at least twice a day.
The more you use them, the bigger the impact. Add them to a habit that you do every day. While cleaning your teeth, driving, running, walking your dog, washing the dishes, when you first wake up or the last thing at night.

Every day, I expect magic to happen in my life
