So often, we seem to wander through life as a spectator who has good things and bad things happen to us. We spend very little time actively focusing on what we want in our lives so we create our experiences in a default mode. As much as we don’t like to acknowledge this, we are in full control over the experiences we have in our lives and if we don’t pay attention to our thoughts, we end up with a hodge podge of experiences, both “good” and “bad”.

What you focus on, you get. This works on all aspects of your thoughts. If you focus on how crappy your life is, guess what? You end up with more of that. If you focus on the aspects of your life that are working for you, you get more of that too. It’s all about the focus.

Before you can attract what you want into your life, you need to get clear on what you want. The best way to do this is to sit down and think about what is happening in your life that doesn’t please you. Contrast (aka the stuff in your life that isn’t working the way you want it to) is a great way to help you focus on what you are really wanting.

What Do You Really Want?

Get out a notebook or open up Word and make two columns. (see downloadables)
Title the first column - “What I Have”. Title the second column - “What I Want”.

In the first column, you will take aspects of your life that aren’t working and describe them. In the second column, you will describe the previously negative aspect, as if you had a magic wand, and had the power to create the perfect joy filled exciting situation.

That is the first step in getting focused on the life you want to live. Now look over the list you have created and choose the one aspect of your life that you feel you would be able to expand your beliefs with and actually feel that you could achieve what you wrote in the “What I Want” column. If you feel resistance with most of the items, pick the one that has the least amount of resistant feeling attached to it. You CAN achieve everything you want in time. Choosing the one with the least resistance will help you gain confidence and faith that the Law of Attraction does work and will work for you.

Getting Really Focused

What you can do now is what is called a “Focus Wheel”. (see downloadables)

Take the “What I Want” side of your chosen situation and put it in the middle circle of the focus wheel. In the wedges, attached to the outside of the small circle, write positive, “feel good” , “magic paint brush” supporting details to what you want. FEEL the good feelings as you do this. Get into it and have fun with it. Get out that magic paint brush and create the most awesome picture of how your life will be. Now, let yourself believe that this amazing picture, that you have just painted, will come to be and it will be yours. Feels good doesn’t it?

You have just taken the first step in getting what you want. You have put the positive vibrations out there. Now all you have to do is stay positive and keep your eyes open for what you have created to be attracted to you. Know that those coincidences that appear, are not random acts. YOU are creating your reality. Time for you to enjoy it! Manifestation is imminent!

Offer a vibration that matches your desire rather than offering a vibration that keeps matching what-is.

“In the same way that there is not an instant wanted thing manifesting in your experience, there is not instant unwanted thing happening in your experience. It takes some adapting to vibrations. If you’ve managed to hold anything, wanted or unwanted, for 17 seconds — there is a coalescing of thought that takes you a little closer to the vibration of whatever you are turning your attention to. Those 17 second increments, are not discernable. And that’s why, when you get into that place, it feels like instant manifestation. Just like when you get into that negative place, it feels like instant manifestation. It’s like, “Where did that come from? Seemed like it just sort of snuck up on me,” instead of snuck up over a long time.”
Expressed by Abraham-Hicks
Selected by Jerry and Esther Hicks
New Abraham Journal #34 now online

So what does this all mean to me? If you can take an issue or item that you are trying to manifest and pour postive feeling thoughts about what you want several times a day, you are so much closer to seeing it come into being. Spend that 17 seconds appreciating something and feel your vibration rise. You are in a totally different place now than when you started.

When you reach for the thought that feels better, the Universe is now responding differently to you because of that effort. And so, the things that follow you get better and better, too. So it gets easier to reach for the thought that feels better, because you are on ever-increasing, improving platforms that feel better.

An activated thought means a thought that when I think it, I have a feeling response. If you’re not having a feeling response to something, a feeling that feels good or a feeling that feels bad — the thought is not that powerful, and it is probably not a big player in your vibrational mix.
