What unspoken message are you sending your clients and customers? Is your personal energy field projecting positive, high vibrational energy or just the opposite? The latter will cost you business--and worse, you won't even realize it. The energy I'm talking about here has been called many things, "being in flow," "in the zone," "locked on", "jazzed", "sending out good vibes," (that last one is for anyone old enough to remember the 60's).
Have you ever gone to a business networking event or function and noticed that there are always a few people that everyone flocks towards? If that's not you, maybe you need to do some work to align your energy. You see, other people are attracted to that energy, whether or not they even know it.
I'm sure you've been in this situation. Days when everything just clicks for you: you found a parking space right in front of where you were going, your presentation to a new client was terrific and the client could not wait to give you their business. Everything was perfect and you were unstoppable. You were in that high vibrational state and "in sync" with the universe.
Conversely, has this ever happened to you? You walked into a store, and a very grumpy looking person who was clearly not "in sync" asked you what you wanted. Your first reaction was to get out of there as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, too many people get in this space and wonder why people are not buying from them. I'm sure you've had those days too. I know I have.
There are some simple energy techniques that you can use to put yourself in this higher energy, good vibration state. A place where things will happen and you will begin to attract what you desire. You can avoid those lower states that will push business and people away from you.
Pre-pave Your Day
Each day before you begin any work, devote some time to seeing your day as you want it to occur--visually, orally or better yet, in writing. Describe how you want to feel throughout your day. I'm not suggesting you try to visualize every detail of what will happen, but rather how you want to feel. As an alternative, project yourself, in your mind, to the end of your day. Looking back now, see your day as you would have liked it to occur. Bask in the wonderful feelings associated with your perfect day. Talk about what a wonderful day it was and how everything just flowed and how everything was so terrific as you went about doing what you do.
Do this simple exercise for only takes five or ten minutes, but do it each day. This will align your energy and put you in a positive state to begin your day. After you practice this for a while, you'll begin to notice small shifts occurring in your life. You will begin to experience synchronicities, coincidences, and sparks of inspiration. You will have an idea to call someone, or someone will call you, or you will meet the person who will help you do something that you've been wanting to do. Try this for yourself and watch what happens.
