Daily Disciplines for Effortless Success

Hands down, one of the most popular questions students ask is this…. “What are the most important daily actions that you correlate with your success?”

              In fact, Oprah Winfrey asked similar question just days before appearing on her show. She wanted to come up with some easy-to-apply steps for her viewers to start applying the law of Attraction in their lives.

              One of the basic first steps is to determine, write down and talk about what you want, not what you don’t. Be as specific as possible. Once you have clarified what you want, do the following each and every day.

1. Morning Intention Visualization and Releasing:

As soon as you wake up in the morning;

1. Take about 5 minutes to focus your mind on your desires, goals and intentions.
2. Start by sitting in a comfortable position, closing your eyes and visualizing your desires and goals as already being fulfilled.
3. Spend 30 seconds to a minute on each of your core desires and goals. You can also take a few moments to visualize your day going exactly as you would like it to.

When you do this, you will often find that negative limiting beliefs that are the result of negative programming from your childhood will come up. You may hear thoughts like “I could never afford that,” there’s no way I’ll ever get that,” or “who am I kidding?” coming up. If you do, release the negative thought. Don’t fight or argue with the thought; just release it.

Remember to also spend several moments feeling the feelings you would feel if you had already manifested your desire in your life. The intensity of the feeling is what fuels the intensity of the attraction.

• Use External Images to Keep you Focused on your Desires and Goals: Keep yourself focused on what you want to manifest by surrounding yourself with visual images of the things and experiences you want to create in your life. There are many tools you can use for this, including creating a Vision Book.

Cut out pictures of the things you wise to own (like your ideal car or home) and pictures that represent the experiences you want to have (like the perfect    relationship, your ideal job, perfect health, being at your ideal weight, more joy,  inner peace or balance in your life) to remind yourself of how you want it to be. Put them somewhere where you will see them every day-on the mirror, the refrigerator, or in your Vision Book.

For even greater impact, combine your pictures with words that reflect your desired outcome, such as abundance, romance, fun, vitality, etc. I think you get the picture. When you look at any of these pictures, do what Bob Doyle, who is featured in the Secret teachers-think the thought, “THIS IS MINE NOW! THIS IS WHO I AM!”

• Think a Better Feeling Thought:

Start paying attention to this 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.

Remember, 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 thought to ones that make you feel better (i.e.., raise your vibration). Remember that you must become a vibrational match for the thinks and experiences that you want to attract into your life.

It is especially important .to focus your thoughts and behaviors on things that cause you to feel joy. Focus your thoughts on thoughts that bring you joy (your lover, your best friend, your grandchildren, your favorite vacation sport) and your actions on doing the things you love to do (put your cat, work in your garden, listen to your favorite music).
