Act “As If” – Bring Home That Oscar

act as if ticketsYou’ve heard this all before but it’s so important to help change our lives. I also thought it was good timing since we just had the Emmy Awards. However, this concept should be applied all year round.

You have to “act as if xxxxx” and you fill in the blanks for the x’s. For instance, if you want to be prosperous, you have to act prosperous. If you want to be loving or having loving relationships, you have to act as if you are loving or in a loving relationship.

This is very similar to visualization but it’s the external application in a sense. When you visualize, you see your success in your mind’s eye. When you “act as if”, you behave as if you already have whatever it is you want. And you should do this anyway because you DO already have it (the Universe has manifested if for you, you just have to materialize it now by allowing it into your life). So, if the Universe has delivered it to your doorstep why not do something that gets you closer to the door so you can open it and find that it’s sitting there on your doorstep. You can place your order from a magazine, pay for it, the company fills the order and sends it, the delivery company delivers it to your doorstop. But you might think you didn’t receive it because you haven’t opened your door yet to look on the front porch. One little thing changes your entire view.

So, start acting right now. If you want to be more prosperous, learn about the Wallet Process and the Prosperity Game. These are simple and easy methods to improve your situation. This doesn’t mean to just go spending all your money assuming that more will come in. But don’t be thinking every minute that you can’t afford this or that or that you wish you could afford something. That is focusing on the lack. When you walk by a car dealer that has cars you might like, stand up straight and think about yourself sitting in that car (in fact, you should go in and shop and sit in the car and feel as if it’s yours, smelling the new car smell). I had a friend that finally broke down and bought a new car which she had hesitated doing since she only drove about 3 miles a day. She said it make a phenomenal difference in her outlook because just driving the new car made her feel so prosperous. You can start that process simply by getting in or even taking it for a test drive. You don’t have to buy it. Tell the sales person that you’re interested but not ready to decide yet. Don’t get caught in the “I can’t afford it” blues when you’re talking to the Sales people. Just let them know you’re in the beginning stages and don’t want any pressure.

Use the Wallet Process – put a $100 (or a $50) bill in your wallet – don’t worry – you’re not going to spend it. Then when you pass a store and see something you’d like to have, in your mind imagine and visualize yourself paying for that object with the money in your pocket. Keep doing this over and over. Soon you’ll feel really prosperous – spending as much as you want on whatever you want! And you still have that bill in your pocket.

If you want to have great relationships, act as if your relationships are already where you want them to be. If you’re looking for a partner, then make sure that there is space in your house for that person. Rhonda Byrne in “The Secret” talked about a woman who was desirous of finding her life partner and it never happened so she just assumed that the Law of Attraction didn’t work (or at least didn’t workdirector chair act as if for her). But when asked, she realized there was no space in her house for a partner to move in. Her two car garage was filled with “stuff” on one side and her dressers had clothes in every drawer. The closets were all full. So where was the partner supposed to “live”. Once she cleaned out space for someone new in her life and continued her visualizations and Law of Attraction practices, a man came into her life quickly. She was “acting as if”.

Act confident if you want a new job – that’s not the same as haughty. Just feel self-assured and knowledgeable. Clean your desk (don’t make it obvious to others that you’re planning on leaving – just be cleaning up). Get organized. Perhaps get a new wardrobe depending on what you’ll need at the new job. Read books that are in line with this new employment.

Get the picture? See what you can do. Focus on having what you want and acting as if you’ve opened the door to receive your package. Do not focus on the lack!

Let us know what you do and how it works.

Be Patient (Law of Gestation)

presenting_custom_software_box_15118Even though a woman might want to open her belly and check on her baby every few days (or even hours), she knows that that’s not how it works. There is a specific time frame that the baby needs to be in the womb growing and nurturing before it’s able to survive and materialize into what it’s supposed to be – a baby. She knows she has to wait approximately 9 months for everything to mature properly and if something happens that it’s sooner, sometimes extreme measures have to be taken to make sure the baby does well.

Why am I going on and on about babies? Because it’s the perfect example of the Law of Gestation.

Remember that we go through a few simple steps.

1) We ask for something. That’s easy and it’s why there is so much contrast in our life – we can see what we don’t want and then ask for what we do want.

2) The Universe delivers it. It’s immediately manifested. The Universe doesn’t know if it’s a fleeting thought or not. The Universe is just there to provide us with what we ask for.

3) We have to ALLOW it into our life – that, then, is materialization – when we can actually see and touch whatever it is we asked for. This is the most difficult part for us because we have evolved into creatures that want instant gratification.

There are two particular aspects of the Universal Laws that serve to protect us.

1) We don’t have enough wisdom so fortunately we don’t have the power to materialize everything we say immediately even if the Universe has manifested it – it has not been brought into our lives. A good example of this is this: A mother is outside and sees her sons playing way up in the top branches of a tree. The mother panics and screams for the kids to get down but this is what she says – “Get down from there or you’ll fall and break your neck”. Aren’t we glad at that point that we can’t immediately materialize what we say or think. If we had such power and ability the boys would fall and break their necks.

2) The Law of Gestation. It’s funny how we can accept this law in nature and other parts of life but not with ourselves. You wouldn’t plant a rose seed or an acorn and then the next day dig it up to see how it was doing or be upset that it hadn’t poked above the surface yet. You know that there is a specific time that the seed has to be buried and go through the various stages before this tiny little round object becomes a beautiful flowering plant.

Make Up Your MIND!

should-i-or-shouldnt-iStop fluctuating back and forth! Remember that the Universe brings you whatever you ask for but in order for you to receive it, you have to be in a space where you’re ready to receive it and allow it into your life. If you can’t make up your mind, the Universe creates what you have asked for but never gets a chance to deliver it because by the time it’s at your doorstep ready for the bell to ring with your “delivery”, you’ve changed your mind.

Decide what you want and then get specific. I’ve always used the easy example of a car. Let’s say you want a new car. Decide the brand (Ford, Chevy etc), then the model, then the color and all the features you want in the car (air conditioning, electric windows, heated seats, sunroof, seats that fold into the floor, enough space for my cargo (or my kids), etc). Go through everything you want in the car and write it down.

Then, if you can, go to a car dealer, get in a new car and breathe deep so you can get that new car smell fixed in your mind. If you see the car you want in the color you want, take a picture and put it on a story board. If you don’t see it in the lot, see if you can find one on the internet and print out that car’s picture. Then keep visualizing that car. Don’t switch next week to another type of car. It’s ok to keep adding features but stick to the basics.

Same goes if you want health. Do NOT think of healing because that reminds you and the Universe that you are sick and not whole…just as thinking about paying off your bills is actually thinking about lack. That is a major error that people have when they are working with the Law of Attraction. Yes, you want your bills paid off but do not think of the act, instead you can think of going to your mail box or your email and only getting ads or letters from friends. You don’t think about what’s missing (the bills), you think about what you are getting. You feel the peace of mind when you do go to your mailbox or open your email. You don’t have that dread and anxiety that you might now or might while you’re even paying them off.

But, back to health. See yourself in the healthy body you want. The weight you want, looking the age you want, being as fit as you want, accomplishing the physical activities you desire to accomplish. Find photos of athletes doing these things and visualize the beauty in yourself. See yourself as whole and healthy, full of energy and happiness.

Do not go back to the other side as it were. Once you’ve decided what it is you want in whatever aspect of your life you want it, then stick to that completely.

Make up your mind, be specific about what it is you want, list all the criteria and then stick to it. It will come to you! That’s the way the Law of Attraction works. You just have to do your part!

“The Law of Attraction states that you are basically a magnet, attracting the images that are inside your head.”
by Frank Mangano

If you think of the Law of Attraction in this way, it might help you focus on good images and generate good feelings/vibrations. Think of carrying a magnet around in your pocket all the time. You will pay attention to what you’re walking near so you only attract what you want to attract (coins for instance) and avoid things you don’t want being drawn up to your pocket (like nails, screws, scrap metal).

So why shouldn’t you do the same with your life. Use that magnet and pull in more of the things you want in your life. Think of the Corona Beer Ads with the two people sitting on the beach and looking out into the ocean.  They are attracting more beauty, peace, reverence (and beer, of course) into their life by creating the tranquil scene in their world. You can do the same thing using the Kodak Moments or visualizing something or someone beautiful in your life.

As you focus on that thing or person, the Universe will know that you want more of it and will immediately bring it to you. Then, your only other job is to allow it into your life. No more of the “I’m unworthy” or “I don’t deserve such good things” etc. Just picture it being in your life and when you can, think about how much you do deserve it and how much you want it.

If you have to just picture the magnet in your body (think of the “u” part of the magnet as your upper torso and the legs as your arms reaching out to receive).

Practice this image – you are the magnet, when you see (or think about) something you want more of, walk toward it and spread out your arms and visualize it coming into your life. When you see something (or feel it) that you do NOT want in your life, turn around and put your arms at your side. Visualize yourself pushing it away. Make this a game.

See what happens this week as you play magnet. Let us know by commenting below.

You Are What You Thought…. AND What You Feel

you-are-what-you-thoughtYou always hear “You are what you think”. But that’s only partially true.  That sentence should be reworded to “you become what you think and feel”. What you currently ARE is a result of what you’ve thought and felt prior to right now. In other words, what you “thought” before.

It doesn’t really do anyone any good to wonder “why me”, “why did this happen to me” because they don’t really want the answer which is that we have brought everything into our lives that we have. The Law of Attraction always words – even when things aren’t as we wish. The Law of Attraction doesn’t work only with the things we say we desire.

Everything in our lives was brought there by our thoughts and feelings. Always remember that. When you start to get angry at someone or criticize someone or some thing, ask yourself what you’re feeling right now and if you really want more of that in your life.  Because you are focusing on that emotion and pretty strongly perhaps, too, if you’re angry.

That emotion is what you are focusing on and what you are putting out to the Universe. Remember that the Universe stands ready to bring you whatever it is you’re looking for and concentrating on. When you put such emotion into a thought or feeling such as anger, the Universe doesn’t know that it’s just a temporary thing. It thinks (if it could think) “wow, Terrie is really focusing on that thing…she must want more”.
