1. It improves your mood – It's hard to be down when you're having a party. Even if it's just a happy dance when your favorite song comes on the radio, celebrating always improves your mood.

2. Keeps you focused on what you want – One of the rules of manifesting is to focus on what you want and ignore what you don't want. When you're celebrating you're rejoicing in something happy which leaves little room for those “don't wants” to creep in.

Things you want to DO:

1. Take time to get clear on what you want – How can the Universe deliver if you're not sure yourself?
2. State your desire with conviction and purpose – You are requesting, not begging.
3. Look for clues or signs that your manifestation is on the way – There are always clues.
4. Take inspired action – The Universe asks for your participation and taking inspired action will get you your stuff faster.
5. Maintain a state of eager anticipation – Like a child waiting for Christmas morning.

Ah, the lowly list.  In today's world of Palm Pilots and iPhones it's easy to overlook the value of a good old pen and pad of paper.  And yet the simple list can be one of the best time management tools you can use.
