5 secrets to making it happen for you
1. Create your cigar box
Find
photos, magazine cut-outs of words and visuals that represent your goal. Be
sure they evoke a strong FEELING AS IF it’s already complete. Then create a one
topic cigar box vision board (or poster board) and place it on your nightstand
or table near your bed. Consider including a picture of yourself in your
vision. If you do, choose one that was taken in a happy moment. You will also
want to post your affirmations, inspirational words, quotations, and thoughts
here. Choose words and images that inspire you and make you feel good.
Keep it neat, and be selective about what you place in your vision. It's a
good idea to avoid creating a cluttered or chaotic book--you don't want to attract chaos into your
life. Use only the words and images that best represent your purpose,
your ideal future, and words that inspire positive emotions in you. There is
beauty in simplicity and clarity.
If you are working on visualizing and
creating changes in many areas of your life, then you may want to use more than
one vision board. You might use one for your personal goals and another for
career and financial goals. You might even want to keep your career vision
board at the office or on your desk as a means of inspiration and affirmation.
2. Suspend Disbelief
Each
night BEFORE you fall asleep and each morning BEFORE you step out of bed, look
at your cigar box (or vision board) and FEEL the result AS IF it’s done. Think
and feel only that for 60 seconds. It has been said by suspending disbelief so
that you actually emanate a feeling of EXPECTATION of it already on its way or
completion for a min of 16 seconds of pure thought – will help you manifest the
reality.
FYI… the time you spend visualizing in the
evening just before bed is especially powerful. The thoughts and images that
are present in your mind during the last forty-five minutes before going to
sleep are the ones that will replay themselves repeatedly in your subconscious
mind throughout the night, and the thoughts and images that you begin each day
with will help you to create a vibrational match for the future you
desire.
As some time goes by, and your dreams begin
to manifest, look at those images that represent your achievements, and feel
gratitude for how well the Law of Attraction is working in your life.
Acknowledge that it is working.
3. Take
action!
Take
action on behalf of your goal throughout the day in any way it will set
yourself up to win. Find the right people to surround yourself with. Market your business consistently, go
to networking meetings, call a prospective client instead of email, take your
kids on an outing, surprise your spouse or partner with something unexpected,
give to your place or spiritual nourishment. Anything that relates to your
goal – take consistent action that positions you to be “in the right place at
the right time” and the Universe will do its part to partner with you. See, the
Universe thrives on clarity. This leads to…
4. Be
energetically responsible
When your energy vibration
about that goal is clear and you feel AS if it’s complete, the Universe will
deliver. What will manifest is an opportunity by way of a call, an email, a
chance meeting, an unexpected referral, etc. Be energetically responsible with
your vision/goal every day. Catch yourself in the middle of doubt, worry,
concern, and shift it to “I am prosperity in all areas of my life” – do not
allow the negative ego thoughts to SEDUCE YOU. They will.
We are in control of
one thing and one thing only – our thoughts, which create the feelings, which create
how we experience our world. We MUST be diligent and ruthless with our
thoughts. Guard your thoughts and you will create the energy vibration ripe for
manifesting. Universal Law states when we have a consistent abundant mental
equivalent of our desires, feel it before it shows up, and act upon the
opportunities that support our vision, we manifest often. Activate this law
(Source) by opening the door of Consciousness to express abundance!
Start paying
attention to the many times during the day that you have emotional responses (to
other people, experiences, or your own thoughts) that are not in alignment
with having or producing your desires. Pay special attention to when you feel
disappointment, resentment, frustration or anger about your experiences and
circumstances.
It's your feelings (which are
created by your thoughts, opinions, and beliefs) that are creating your
current circumstances. You must make a shift by changing your thoughts to ones
that make you feel better (i.e., raise your vibration). We must become a vibrational match for the things and experiences that we
want to attract into our life.
It is especially important to
focus your thoughts and behaviors on things that cause you to feel joy.
5. Have an Attitude of
Gratitude
It is critical to
take time each and every day to focus on what you are grateful for. Focus on all of the
things in your life (most of which you take for granted) that you are grateful
for--your health, your children, your business, job, sunny weather, electricity,
running water, a nice stereo system, your flower garden, your pets, your
friends).
No matter what your situation, there are
always things to be grateful for. The more you focus on what you are grateful for, the more things and
experiences you will attract to be grateful for.
Gratitude,
