Keep Your Attention On What You Want
Hello My Friend,
Have you ever wondered: “How does this ‘Law of Attraction’ really work? Can I really attract only what I want by keeping my attention on my dream?” Is it as easy as wanting to try to attract the right people, sources and resources I need to succeed? or how about thinking things always go wrong? Those two ideas are both attractors of more of the same!
You Can! It requires you to make many conscious choices. Most of the time it seems much easier to notice what we don’t like or want and to focus by complaining about that. The ***trick*** is to become clear about what DO you want and to CONSISTENTLY KEEP your attention on THAT!
“What you think about, comes about”
I’ll share a personal story that will demonstrate how the Law of Attraction works in every day life:
I am going to move to the west coast soon. Having lived on the Canadian prairies for more than 30 years, the prospect of returning to a warmer climate is bringing me much joy!
I am keeping my attention on where I want to live. In fact, I just visited the city I have my attention on, did a whirlwind tour with a realtor and found the ideal area I want to live in.
In my past mental poverty days, I would be focused on (obsessed with) my current situation and what I need to do to change the “reality” of where I am right now. But according to the Law of Attraction, placing my attention on what I do NOT want would bring more of THAT into my life.
It is so much more fun to think about where I am wanting to live. I took a walk along the ocean and discovered some special stones which I brought back to Saskatchewan. These stones are now arranged in a small bowl next to my computer monitor where I can see them all day long. They provide a good focal point for keeping my attention upon where I want to be.
I have placed sea shells and starfish throughout my house as reminders of the ocean–where I am wanting to live. There are sea shells in the bathroom, along the bath tub and next to the sink. In the kitchen, I arranged sea shells in a dish and placed them on a counter top where I can’t miss seeing them. I’ve placed sea shells and a starfish IN my bed, so that if I awaken during the night, I can reach for them and remind myself of where I am wanting to be.
More and more I am daydreaming about my new location. While I was physically there, I made many mental pictures–pictures of myself shopping or having coffee at a sidewalk cafe or entertaining friends in my new condo–pictures of everyday life as I want to be living it.
At first, when I told people about my upcoming move, I felt uncertain and tentative about my decision. That’s normal. We are only comfortable with what we know already…anything new or unexperienced will feel strange–until the “new and unexperienced” becomes so normal and real in our minds that the Universe just HAS to give it to us.
In fact, that is all the Energy of Universe is waiting for—-for YOU to spend so much time mindful living the desired life you want in your mind that the ONLY thing left is to give you the life you are wanting!
In closing, bring to mind something that you are desiring…close your eyes and picture yourself actually enjoying what you are wanting. Engage all your senses–pretend to smell it or taste it. What would it physically feel like? That’s the first step in deliberately attracting what you REALLY want!
