Always keep that list up-to-date. There may come some obstacles you hadn’t thought of.
If you dig more deeply on visualization you will discover that this is indeed the very nature of reality and matter. If you want to go deeper into it right now, this is the best book on that score, I recommend it to everybody, I read in it very often.
I will go on visualization in more detail on another time, for now here is a short “how-to”:
Go to a place of quit and bring yourself into a relaxing position. Close your eyes. I want you to get in a state of deep relaxation. Now visualize that you’ve already reached your goal. Image it in much detail as possible. Feel it. Enjoy it, be happy that you finally succeeded. Not only see in your mind, but feel, hear, smell. Make it as realistic as possible. Do this for at least 15 minutes in the morning after waking up and in the evening before you go to bed.
I know this is not easy in the beginning, but when you do this disciplined every day, you will get faster into relaxation and the images will come bluster out.
Now, I want you to take 10 minutes of your lunch time, sit down and write affirmations. Write down your goal that you’ve defined in step one in one statement. Keep it positive and in the present. Don’t write: “I will be rich one day”. Write instead: “I am rich and prosperous”. Don’t write: “Someday I will meet this wonderful guy”. Write: “I’m married to a wonderful man who loves me madly”.
Write your affirmation 25 times every day on lunchtime.
This is a very powerful tool, it’s the heart and soul of the five steps.
After you have done step three for a week, your mind will come up with ideas of a plan how to accomplish your goal. Put it on paper. Here again go into detail. Don’t just write: “have to go out more often”, write: “going out on Saturday to club x”. Refine this again, with who you will go out and exactly when.
Take out the list from step one again, take a look at your ultimate achievement-date and work out an exact timetable. Again: be as accurate and detailed as you can be.
In the end will have a fully detailed agenda on how to reach your goal.
You should have by now: a strong desire and willingness to achieve what you want, you know exactly what you want, you know the obstacles and how to combat them, you have the secret tool of making things happen, and finally you have a precise agenda on how to act every single day until the achievement of the objective.
Now put it into action. You have done a great job so far, but if you don’t act, it was all for nothing. Should you loose motivation, increase your desire, should you encounter fears, fight them (you know how). The visualization and affirmation process will make it easy for you. Trust me on this one.
That’s it! Easy, isn’t it?
Maybe there should be a step six, which is receive in thankfulness. And you shall receive. I know that you will. My friend did so some time ago, and now she is living the life she always dreamed about.
Your friend,
