Do you want to experience a new reality in some corner of your life? Want more love? More independence? More prosperity? Adopting a just-do-it or be-the-change mentality can help a whole lot, but there's more. When we want a different experience we have to orient ourselves toward it; we have to let go of what we think we know; we must expect and embrace it; we have to ADJUST.

Case in point: before I started doing professional readings, I worked for a long time with peers and open-minded guinea pigs who helped me fine tune my skills. For as many ah-ha moments as I experienced in those early sessions, I spent as much time questioning whether what I saw, heard and experienced was real. Despite the overwhelming validation—even in my failure—I looked at it as a fluke or dumb luck. This couldn't be really happening to me, could it? One day I asked a trusted instructor, Do you think I can really do this? Beyond the walls of this school, I mean? How do I know what I know?

He spoke slowly and clear, in that way sober people talk to tipsy friends: If you're going to do this work, Kriste, he said, you've got to get it here first. He put his hand to his chest and clapped his thighs, underscoring the importance of embodying what I already knew. It wasn't an overnight process, but I understood in that moment that it was a matter of ceasing to ask other people whether I was crazy or if it what I was doing was valid. I had to ADJUST my thinking to expect that every time I picked up the phone with a client that the information they needed would be there. I had to ADJUST to becoming a confident professional long before I was one.

By ADJUSTING our outlook and expectations to accommodate a new reality or experience, we help usher it in that much faster and fully. What are you doubting or second guessing yourself about right now? Honey, help yourself by shifting your perspective, by expanding your expectations, by setting your frequency to receive what's truly yours. ADJUST.
