Most people have had some exposure to the principles behind the law of attraction, but many people still struggle with it. What I have found as a common problem is that people just don’t believe that what they desire will come to them. Instead of looking at why that is so, let’s look at what can be done about it!
1. See it: If you can imagine it to be true, it can be! The first step to creating anything (or aligning to anything) is deciding what your desire is, being specific. If you are unclear as to what you want, your focus to connecting to the desire will be unclear as well. The next step is to imagine your desire because all creations first come from an idea of it…if you can’t imagine something that you desire, you will have difficulty connecting to it! But sometimes our beliefs and past experiences work against our optimism, don’t they? Certainly. So seeing the desire, or imagining it can be a challenge. This is one reason why people find meditation very helpful with capturing their desires…because meditation puts you into a space where your thoughts are clearer and seeing yourself in the experience of your desire is easier. Hypnotherapy works in a similar fashion. (It is also a good idea, when imagining your desires to keep them realistic, at least at first. If you imagine becoming a millionaire, there’s a good chance that most of your consciousness is not connected to the potential of that just “happening”, so go a little farther than your comfort level, but not too far.)
But what if you find that you are unable to meditate or do hypnosis? You can start to clear your thoughts by writing down what is in your head! Start a journal to empty out the clutter and write it in daily. Do a “dream board” where you post pictures of your desires and place it where you see it often. This will remind your brain of your desires and help you remember where to put your focus. Write out affirmative statements and post them around your house (or even in your car). And take 5 minutes a few times a day to sit and just imagine being in the experience of your desire. If you desire a promotion at work, see yourself going to work, doing your duties and having your boss approach you about the promotion. Include what you would like to hear your boss say to you and imagine how you would feel as you listen. Connect to it!
2. Be it: If you are allowing yourself to imagine your desire, you will begin to act more in accordance to it! Bringing your focus to your desire and the potential of experiencing it instead of the doubt or problems around it will help you pay attention to opportunities that come that support your desire as well as help you take whatever action that might be required. Let’s face it, the law of attraction says that you align to specific experiences based on your thoughts, etc. What it does NOT say is that you can sit at home on your couch and have what you want magically appear on your doorstep. You might actually have to get out and participate in things that support your desires to put yourself in the “right place, right time” for them! The “be it” step puts more energy behind your desires, which helps create them!
3. Believe it: If your thoughts are focused on the opportunities, and you are acting in accordance with your desires, the rest of you will start to resonate with the desires as well! You do not have to “believe it” when you first have the idea, decide on the desire or even act in accordance to it, because those steps will help you believe it! Sure, it is easier to do steps 1 & 2 if you already believe your desires to be in reach, but you probably wouldn’t really need those steps then, would you? If you truly believed it now, you probably would already have what you want!
So, go ahead and map out your desires, and take note of how much resistance you feel when you are deciding what you want…if you have a lot of resistance, you might want to knock it down a notch to start, until you open up to being able to accept that what you want is really possible, that you deserve it, and it will happen! Happy mapping!
