This is LOA Recon with Good Vibe Coach, Jeannette
Maw, where we explore the ins and outs of conscious
creation to manifest our favorite dreams come
true. Let's have some fun together. Welcome and
thank you for joining me for another episode.
This topic has been on my mind as we're getting
ready to wrap up the year and start a new one.
But this is also a conversation I have with many
of my clients throughout the year as well. I'm
talking about a special way for us to practice
gift -giving with ourselves. Look, I know a lot
of us are really good at shopping for others,
finding the perfect present for a loved one,
how fun it is to notice what they want or need
and finding the perfect answer for it. It's so
nice to see their satisfaction when we get it
right. Isn't that fun? look i'd like us to be
that kind of good at gift giving for ourselves
as well we deserve that same kind of tlc that
same kind of focus on our desires and intention
to satisfy it it's such a loving act and also
a really good standard to set for universe because
it will follow our lead so when we show it we
are really good at having what we want it's gonna
do the same thing So I'm suggesting that we get
really good at giving ourselves what we want
to. And look, I am a giant fan of the material
delights and treasures in life. Oh, in fact,
this year I got myself a Hori Hori garden tool.
I never had one before. Also a new Bluetooth
speaker for playing music. And I got, oh, I had
a little shopping spree over at alchemy -works
.com. I bought magic oils from the wizard alchemist.
And I might have learned this from my dad, who
growing up, he used to joke with us that he had
an inn with Santa. My dad would buy himself pretty
cool Christmas presents. I think it was a good
example to set to normalize how to be good to
yourself. Give yourself what you want. Look,
so I'm saying I am all about the material blessings
of the world, but I think that's just the beginning
of what we could be giving ourselves on special
occasions, whether that's the holidays or birthdays
or an anniversary or New Year's. I think it's
a great time for us to make a point of giving
ourselves the kind of gifts that no one else
could. Something that you really, really want.
Something that you wouldn't find on Amazon. It
couldn't be bought or packaged. Things like,
oh, maybe bold decisions or declarations or maybe
new habits or practices or vibrations even, where
you're the only one who could give that to yourself.
Okay, right as I said that, I just flashed on
some of the stories I've read, some fun fiction
books that have like fairy godmothers in them,
who there's a ritual of gifting a new baby that's
born with a blessing. In fact, oh, I read one,
Nettle and Bone. I think it might have been by
Kingfisher. I could be wrong, but I think it
was in that book where there was, I don't think
they called her a fairy godmother. I think they
called her like... She was some sort of godmother
to the royal family. And she gave all of the
new babies the same thing. It was something like,
you were safe from your enemies. You couldn't
be toppled from the throne or immune to foreign
magic, something like that. So maybe. Maybe we
could get these presents from someone else. Oh
my word, I'm just thinking about also all the
studies we've read about the effectiveness of
prayer for others. Okay, so maybe someone else
could give it to us, but let's for sure also
be giving ourselves this kind of magic. What
I wanted to share with you today is the invitation
to gift yourself with something spectacular,
something that your sweetie wouldn't be able
to order online or find at the outlets. It might
be a change you want to experience in your life
or a state of mind you'd like to adopt, maybe
a new habit to embrace, or even just a magical
shift you'd like to call in. There really aren't
any limits. Not for us, because we're conscious
creators who know where everything comes from.
It comes from our imagination. There is nothing
outside our reach when we are just willing to
say yes to it. We can think it into our reality.
I'll give you a couple of examples of things
I've given myself over the years. Oh, one was
a meditation practice. How do you like that?
I'd been wanting one for a long time, but I was
never able to stick with it. It just, it never
became something that I did regularly, but I
wanted those benefits. All the coolest people
I knew were regular meditators. I wanted in on
that action. So one year, I gave myself the gift
of a meditation practice. And oh my word, for
some reason, that made the difference. Just formalizing
it that way, making it a special occasion, especially
where I'd given myself fabulous presents. in
the past knowing that whatever I give myself,
I'm going to receive. I will take it to heart.
I will say yes to it. Because I'm a good receiver
like that. It reminds me of, oh my gosh, Chad
gave me one of the ugliest teapots. I don't think
I've ever seen anything uglier in my life. It
was so ugly. Who would make this? I wondered.
It was horrendous. But it was my sweetie who
gave it to me. And all he ever wanted to do was
delight and satisfy me. So he surprised me with
the world's ugliest teapot. I had let my favorite
one boil dry. I thought I ruined it. I tried
to shop for a new one. I couldn't find one I
liked better than the one I already had. So I
just figured out how to fix it. It turns out
you can. can you can fix it so I did that but
I don't think Chad knew that I did because he
bought me this ugly the ugliest I hope he can't
hear me I hope he doesn't listen to my episodes
man oh it's not pretty It's not pretty, but what
am I going to do? What am I going to do? Ask
him to return it because it also wasn't cheap
either. Could I disappear it? No, that doesn't
feel good. Could I just force myself to use ugliest
tea kettle on the planet? No, none of those things
felt good. So I just decided to say yes to it.
Actually, that was another gift I gave myself
one year. How to say yes to change. Okay, anyway,
instead of plotting where I might hide this thing
or how I might explain that I don't use it, I
just decided I'm going to see this for what it
is. This is a gift from a loved one, from his
heart, who is just trying to make me happy. And
I can love that about it. It's also a pretty,
it's sturdy, like this. kettle is not fooling
around it means business he was not cutting corners
on this one i can love that about it i can love
that it's a symbol of his attempt his desire
to satisfy and delight me that makes me smile
that i can love so when i took it out of the
box with that intention and put it on the stove
you know what oh my gosh all of a sudden instead
of being the world's ugliest kettle it it was
something different Okay, it's black and white
with a red lid. And for some reason, once I decided
I was going to love this, now all of a sudden
it looks like something from Alice in Wonderland,
where impossible things can happen, where reality
defies expectations. Oh my gosh, it felt like
this could be a portal where I let magic things
into my world. I'm actually really digging the
new kettle, if you can believe it. Anyway, I'm
saying I'm a good receiver. Remember how Abraham
says everything, every moment, everything contains
all possibilities and it's just a matter of what
we choose to pull out of it? I know how to make
the effort of looking for what I want and saying
yes to it. So that's how I know I'm a good receiver.
Circling back around to where? Because I know
myself to be a good receiver. When I give myself
a meditation practice, oh, I'm embracing it.
Because I know I gave it to myself for a good
reason. I knew what I was doing when I picked
this. This is a good present. And sure enough,
it was. And it continues to be. From the very
beginning, I loved this present. The gift of
inner quiet. The gift of knowing how to tune
out the outside noise. Of being better at connecting
to my source, to my higher self on a dime. Oh
my gosh, that's magic. That's one gift I gave
myself. I also one year gave myself the gift
of no pressure. Yeah, one year I just decided
to grant myself freedom from feeling any pressure.
I was like, you don't need to do that anymore.
I just let myself off the hook for it. Whatever
thoughts were cooking up that made me feel tense
or anxious, I just remembered, oh yeah, I don't
do that anymore. I see through those illusions,
those gremlin lies that are trying to make me
feel bad. I just granted myself freedom from
those thoughts. I don't entertain them. I don't
believe them. I don't buy into anything that
makes me feel any kind of pressure. I'm pretty
good at receiving this. And mostly that gift
comes in handy when it came to how I was thinking
and feeling about the passage of time. It has
been a gift that's come in super handy. I might
have outdone myself with that one. I'm not perfect
at it, but wow, it was a game changer for me.
One year I gave myself an extra day off during
the week. Just like that, I snapped my fingers
one day and said, yeah. I'm going to give myself
an extra day of nothing. Okay. And I know a lot
of people might be thinking conscious creators
should do that every day. You know what? Every
day, nothing every day actually isn't very fun
because some things really are more fun when
you can plan them and invite others, whether
it's friends or family or hello, clients and
customers. It's kind of nice to know where everyone
should be at this time in order to have a good
time. So not every day wants to be nothing, but
I decided I could use one more during the week.
That's my idea of a good time. So I did. I just
gave myself an extra day of nothing. which often
ends up being like a extra long dog walk or being
willing to have an even longer conversation with
the neighbor or just giving myself over to playing
with the foster kittens or the rescue bunnies
or the horses or whatever I feel like. That's
my idea of a good time, whatever I feel like
doing. In fact, that's where a lot of our podcasts
come from, actually. When I have the luxury of
doing whatever I feel like, a lot of times it's
sharing thoughts and ideas about conscious creation
with you all. So anyway, this is what I wanted
to suggest to you this year. Maybe instead of
setting an intention for 2026, which I am still
a big fan of, I love setting intentions for the
new year, but I know that doesn't float everyone's
boat. So maybe a different way to go about this
is to think about what kind of present you might
give yourself for the new year instead. And maybe
do it like you were a fairy godmother who had
the powers to give yourself whatever you want.
Because we each, as conscious creators, are crazy
cool kind of magic. We have resources above and
beyond online shopping. We know thoughts become
things. We know that we create reality simply
by imagining it so we could give ourselves whatever
we want. How cool is that? I think that's pretty
cool. Ooh, speaking of cool presents to give
yourself, there is one you can buy online right
now. We've got year -end specials going on at
Good Vibe University, where over 4 ,000 fellow
creators have benefited from and contributed
to the most vibrant community and resource -rich
home for manifesting inspiration and guidance
on the planet, if I don't say so myself. If you
haven't been there in a while, we've got some
cool new things there, including a new manifestor
training program. I made this last year, along
with an official conscious creator certification.
We've got dozens of manifesting courses, hundreds
of archived calls, live virtual meetups every
week, and over 120 private podcast episodes,
the latest of which is where I shared what I'm
giving myself for 2026. I really do want you
to be thinking about what to give yourself like
a boss. Hey, you know what else we're doing at
GVU this year is vibration tech support available
to all members along with regular alignment events.
Obviously, I think this is one of the best things
we can do for ourselves. Hang out with fellow
creators who are up to the same game we are because
it's an easy way to let good habits rub off on
us, plus a powerful way to raise the vibration
on our regular daily inputs. So I look forward
to seeing you there. If it sounds like your idea
of a good time, you can find the sign -up form
for the discounted rate at gvuspecial .com, and
it'll take you straight to the enrollment page.

All right, whether you're giving yourself magical
or mundane presents, I would love to hear what
you are gifting yourself with. It's such a good
way to show universe that we know how to have
it good, and that sets us up for a really good
new year. If I don't talk to you again before
then, happy new year to you. Although I might
because I do have a couple of do whatever I want
days in my coming week and that often means connecting
with you. So maybe I will talk to you again before
then. But in the meantime, big love to you. Thanks
for listening and happy manifesting.
