Right now I'm having a bit of an adventure. I'm sitting or lying in my car and writing this blog post here. What's so special about it? Well, to be honest, it wasn't really planned. I'm lying on a relatively small surface, I can't stretch out my legs and everything is moist or really wet, including myself :-). But I feel wonderful and enjoy the experience - something new. I just love the adventure and want to have something to tell at the end of my life. I want to be able to smile about what I have experienced and be proud of myself when I have overcome certain situations and grown from them. Life would just be boring otherwise, don't you think?
So why am I now lying in my car typing this post on my laptop instead of cuddling up in warm and above all dry blankets? The whole thing was like this: I wanted to take a really nice little holiday at the end of the summer. Just get out into nature again and enjoy the silence, the lakes and the last bright sun. My plan worked out so far. I went to Austria and looked for a nice little campsite. I wanted to take a holiday here only two months ago, but had to change my plans at short notice. So I wanted to realise my plan now, before the summer is over. Everything was fine so far. In the evening of my first day, it started to rain. The rain and storm got stronger and stronger. Unfortunately, I had to realise that my old tent wasn't really designed for such things. The walls got wet and I had to move my sleeping place from the edge of the tent to the middle, no problem, I am flexible. When I suddenly had the first puddles in my tent, it slowly became a bit more uncomfortable. I thought to myself: good, the air mattress still has some play in it until I'm lying in the water. I then piled everything I had into the middle of the tent and sat there crouching on tiptoe in the smallest of spaces with the decision to just wait out the rain. After all, it couldn't last that long. But when there was a spray shower in my tent, it was too much of a good thing. Water from above as well - that's really the end of it! I had to make a decision: 1. wait until the thunderstorm passes and everything is wet(er) 2. go home 3. find a hotel room 4. sleep in the car. And then it hit me: Yes, jackpot! I wanted to sleep in the car, because it's dry and storm-proof. And it's somehow exciting :-).
So in the middle of the night, in the pouring rain and storm, I loaded everything into my car, which was unfortunately 20 metres away, and settled in on the tilted back seat. And all that in a thunderstorm that no umbrella could withstand. Now pretty much everything is wet, but it's nice and cosy here. I'm cuddled up in my sleeping bag, have my laptop on my lap, the camping lamp is on and I can hear the rain pelting down on my car. I feel safe and grateful for my solid shelter! And I'm wearing two different coloured socks, the only reasonably dry ones I could still find. Now I appreciate even more what it means to have a solid roof over my head, to enjoy a hot shower and to own a car ... or even just to wear halfway dry socks. Experiences like these ground us immensely and make us appreciate our own comforts in life more. We can hardly complain about that these days!
The fact that I'm lying here in my car is no coincidence for me. I've always wanted to try out what it's like to sleep in my car. It should be noted that I have a small VW Polo and the space is very limited. I can hardly stretch out my legs. That's probably what's kept me from doing it so far. Well, you should be careful what you wish for. With manifesting, it's like this: you imagine yourself spending the night in your car, for example. You are happy about it, visualise it and feel the adventure. You imagine that you can stop wherever you want in your car and enjoy the landscape. And then it gets exciting: the universe gladly accepts your order and would like to fulfil it as quickly as possible. Manifesting means that what you wish for and imagine becomes reality. As you can see in my situation, when manifesting you should think very carefully about what you want and be as precise and detailed as possible. For I did not define the circumstances in any detail, just as I did not define the time of realisation. My manifestation was simply very rough, which gave the universe a very large room for implementation ;-). I should have said better once: I spend the night on a warm summer evening (dry and warm) comfortably snuggled up in my car. And not: During the worst storm and rain, I don't really have any other option than to flee into the car with my wet clothes and freeze through the night. I actually didn't sleep that well at first.
Oh yes, I forgot to tell you: I unpacked my cards again before the weekend. I simply enjoy working with them and I can derive valuable impulses for my life from them. I'm always fascinated by how well it works and don't necessarily take what comes out super seriously. As long as it helps, why not? My reading was a bit of a mystery to me and for the life of me I couldn't imagine what was supposed to happen this weekend. The message was something like this: I will experience a surprise at the weekend, may deal with unforeseen things and make a decision in the course of it. Well, I'll leave that without comment. You know ;-).
I enjoyed telling you about my little adventure live from the car today! I wanted to show you how important it is, from my point of view, to manifest as precisely as possible. Because what you wish for will come true. From my point of view, you can have just about anything and you will be very happy with the delivery, as long as you order well. Important: Think about the details and make it as good as possible! Manifesting can be learned and is incredibly fun, especially once you get the hang of it! For me, life sometimes feels like a huge candy shop from which I can choose freely and where I can take whatever I feel like. And sometimes life offers me the best things before I have even wished for them. These are often the best manifestations!
My story today also reminds me again how beautiful adventure can be and how alive you feel afterwards when everything has turned out well. You see what you are capable of and that you can take good care of yourself - no matter what. And the best thing is simply that we have something to tell about our lives in the future!
When was the last time you had an adventure? How did you deal with the situation? Did it change you and make you stronger? Do you long for more new experiences? What would you like to do? Have you ever had an experience where something came unexpectedly, i.e. you wished for something but it was not delivered as you had imagined?
