Use Google Analytics & Gratitude to Increase Traffic
Have you ever thought about using Google Analytics to increase traffic to your site? Are you taking advantage of the Reports in Google Analytics? Do you ever login and look at your traffic? There is a wealth of information in Google Analytics, yet it can be hidden and hard to find. My favorite thing to to is setup reports that are sent to clients weekly so that they see their latest search data. In the world of attraction, what we put our attention on grows. What we are grateful for brings more of the same into our lives.

Turn on a Simple Monthly Google Analytics Report

  • Login to Google Analytics
  • Click on the Gear in Lower Left
  • Click User at the Top
  • Scroll Down to Emailed Analytics
  • Expand the Properties
  • Click the Checkbox under Monthly Snapshot

Using Dashboards in Google Analytics

First, let’s import several dashboards to get you started. Dashboards are awesome summary views of data that allow you to see snapshots of the traffic to your site. You can find an incredible number of Dashboards in the Solutions Gallery for Google Analytics.

How to Import a Dashboard

  1. Login to Google Analytics
  2. Click on Any of These Dashboards
  3. Select Your Site and the Data to Import (usually just ‘All Data’)
  4. Click On Customization, Dashboards
  5. Open the Dashboard and Review

Email Yourself a PDF of a Dashboard Each Week

  • Open the Dashboard
  • Click Email towards the top
  • Change the Subject
  • Set the Frequency and what day you want to receive it
  • Click Advanced Options and set to ’12 months’
  • Enter text if you want
  • If you are doing more than one, then select add to an Existing Email

Ritual for Receiving the Email

Take a deep breath and bring awareness to your heart and a feeling of gratitude Open the PDF and look at it with eyes of admiration. Be grateful that there are tools that show you these amazing statistics. Be grateful for the visitors that found your site. Send a loving thank you from your heart to theirs. Take a moment and imagine looking at future reports and how you will feel when the numbers increase each week. Be grateful and trust that you will be guided to take the actions that will increase your traffic. Be grateful and trust that new people will find your site. Take a final deep breath and say “Thank You”.  
I would love to hear how this works for you over the next many weeks.

I often mention that I’m constantly learning. It’s so much fun for me! My journey of life is more complete when I’m learning. I’ve often had people tell me… you don’t need to learn anymore. I’ve gone through phases where I let that go, yet life just isn’t the same. I realize for me that it’s about being curious. The energy of curiosity creates openings for possibilities. Possibilities are what the universe is made of! Every moment that we tap into a possibility, we are opening a portal of energy. Everyone wants more energy, right? There is a flow created when we are in the energy of curiosity and learning. Expansion happens! Why focus on learning? When we are learning, we are literally creating new neural pathways and that keeps one from getting locked into belief systems. Learning something new is a way to connect to the energy of creation. When you learn something new, you are creating a new YOU! Just as children are like sponges for new information and ideas, continuing that curiosity in your life keeps you young. Creating a habit of learning sets the stage for learning to be easy, not hard. So, even if you have something hard to learn, you’re not afraid of it. As the quote from William S. Burroughs goes “ When you stop growing you start dying ”. Are you growing? Are you learning? Are you willing? Change starts with the first step. Habits start with a first step. Learn for fun. Learn for joy. Learn with passion. Learn because you can. There is an ocean of knowledge and wisdom available to us. A habit of curiosity and learning allows us to tap into the depth and breadth of knowledge. The incredible thing is that when you surrender to being open to learning, the wisdom drops in when you least expect it. You might find it in a book, looking at a tree or while taking a shower. The true key is being open. Openness is like a funnel that just keeps expanding. At first, it might seem like you are just learning through the books you are reading. Yet, then, you discover that you have new ideas, new insights and new awareness and you aren't even sure where they came from. That's living in the flow of the universe. In that flow, you have more energy, more fun, more insights, more wisdom and more expansion. Learning truly does create more energy.

I woke up early this morning feeling melancholy. It took a bit of writing before I realized I was feeling sadness with Mother’s Day tomorrow and not having my Mom to honor. After some writing and tears, I’ve honored her in the way that I know best as I write to her. I write how I love her, how I miss her and the gratitude for being my mother. The gratitude for giving me the opportunity to live in a human body that her body created. As soul, the miracle of human experience is mind boggling and it’s even more mind boggling to ponder that we live in a body created by another. It is one of the most beautiful aspects of creation that exists on earth. As my journaling continued, I found myself pondering the origin of Mother’s Day. I do that often as I’m curious how things came to be on earth. How do these traditions start? I discovered that Ann Jarvis and her daughter Anna Jarvis, both women’s activists are the origin of the 2nd Sunday in May that we observe as Mother’s Day here in the US and Canada. Anna desired to memoralize her Mother’s life and a national day to observe all mothers. Ironically she was saddened as it turned into a commercial event and not just the simple gathering and honoring of mothers everywhere. [ Article ] If you look further back, pagan celebrations honored mothers in Greece and in Rome, Cybele, a mother of goddesses was worshiped as early as 250BC. [ Article ] Sitting with this energy of mother is humbling. We have the concept of mother in the planet as we call her Mother Earth. We have the energy of God as Mother as Sophia God. We all carry the energy of the divine feminine in us as Goddess. We have mothers who bravely and courageously choose to bear children and BE Mother as humans. Dropping into the depth of the energy of Mother settles my Soul. I am reminded that as a drop in the ocean of creation, so much has come before me. The gratitude that I feel for all aspects of Mother fills my heart to it’s brim. Mother is the energy of creation. Sophia God is the origin of creation. Goddess is our inner strength which fuels our creations. Being a mom is an incredible gift of creation. Our ability to create as individuals, as groups, as humans, as parents–it is all the gift of creation.  As you honor the energy of mother this weekend, consider extending your honoring to those that have created awareness through time to honor the energy of creation. My prayer for Mother’s Day I honor Sophia God for being the source energy of the divine feminine for all of creation. I honor Mother Earth for her energy that she shares being the mother for our planet. I honor all the Beings of light, Christ Lights, Higher Selves, Angels, Guides and more for being Creators. I honor my Higher Self who gave birth to my Soul. I honor every individual who has ever created anything on this planet as they have tapped into the possibilities of creation and have given birth to something in this world. I honor every woman who has conceived a child on this planet through all time and all lives. I honor my mother who gave birth to me. I honor myself and my partner as Mother to two beautiful children. I honor the energy of Mother.
A New Way to Use a Todo List as a Tool for Manifestation!
By Sheila Franzen 13 Apr, 2023
A todo list is empowering when you embrace it. It is a tool that you can use with manifestation. Todo lists seem like a very 3D world construct and they indeed are. After all, you do live in a 3D world, so using the 3D constructs that are available to you is a good thing. The opportunity lies with not becoming attached to a construct.
