No matter your spiritual affiliation, you have probably observed that certain people seem to have all the luck when it comes to finding parking. I was not such a person.
I live with street parking. I could circle the block for up to 15 minutes and have to settle for something blocks away, or maybe less than legal. I just figured that the Parking Gods passed me by when handing out blessings. But, wait a minute, I am all about living in the state of joy and making that state myself – not depending on someone else for it. So why do I need a blessing from the “Parking Gods”?
So now, I practice parking affirmations. Something like, “I find parking within a block of my apartment with ease.” And I do!
Maybe not absolutely every time, but close enough.
By getting rid of the negative, and affirming the positive, I am in a happier place with great parking!
