Give The Universe A Task List - A Practical Exercise

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. I'm all about practical exercises that help us with the application of the Law Of Attraction(LOA). It's all well and good to tell someone that they need to practice LOA, but that person will soon get lost and frustrated without any guidance.

Here's a great exercise that relieves us of having to do all the work, leaving the Universe the responsibility of handling the details. Enjoy!

Law Of Attraction Article: Manifestation Exercise - Give The Universe Its Own Task List

The following is an exercise that I have learned from Abraham-Hicks. They refer to is as the Placemat Exercise. However, because I do my tasks list on my computer or in a notebook I started mentally calling it the Universe Task List and the name stuck with me.

In case you have never heard of Abraham-Hicks, Esther Hicks is a medium who has long acted as a channel for a nonphysical group of beings known as Abraham. While I know some of you may shy away from the word channel or medium, some of the inspiration they provide regarding using the Law of Attraction is the most enlightening I have ever come across, so I think it would be well worth your time to check them out.


In this case I believe the story goes that Esther Hicks was sitting in a diner one day with her husband talking about how overwhelmed she felt over all the tasks that she had to accomplish within the upcoming days. She received a message from Abraham to turn over the placemat that was sitting in front of her and draw a line down the middle of the paper and a line across the top so it resembled the letter t. She was to write Me on the left side and Universe on the right side.

Then on the left side of the paper she was to write down all of the things that she was inspired to accomplish that day. The ones she was ready and willing to take action on immediately. The tasks that felt right and clear to her.

On the right side of the paper she was to write down all of the things she wanted Universe to take care of for her. Things she wasn’t exactly clear on, felt any kind of resistance to doing, or items she hadn’t even figured how to start accomplishing yet.

The point of this exercise is to 1. Get yourself clear on exactly what it is you are wanting and 2. Allowing and knowing that it is going to happen.

For example, a hypothetical Universe Task List I would use for myself would be:

ME:
1.Write at least 2 fun articles today.
2. Meditate for 20 minutes.
3. Do my yoga.
4. Have lunch with my best friend
5. Respond to some of the emails I have received
6. Update my website with some new articles from other authors

All of the items above are tasks I feel good and inspired about accomplishing. I am happy and enthusiastic about doing them.

Now on the left side I write what I would like Universe to take care of. Items I am not “in the mood for” or “ready to deal with yet” such as:

UNIVERSE:
1. Find me an easy and pain free way to come up with the money to pay the car insurance next month
2. Send me inspiration to help me get clear on the information I want to include in my new ebook
3. Find me an easy and pain free way to get out of a social obligation I’d rather not attend (in your case be specific on what that engagement is)
4. Find the right person who will be able to fix the bug on my computer
5. Find me a simple solution to getting the garage cleaned out

It does not matter how many things you give the Universe (or your higher self, if you prefer) to do. Just know that you are not alone here. What you ask for you will receive.

So as you write out what you want Universe to accomplish, act and feel as if it is without a doubt, going to be taken care of. Feel as if you just handed this list to the most reliable Manager you have ever met and that you are so confident that these things are going to be done, that you do not even have to give them a second thought.

You will be thrilled and amazed at how this works!

For instance, let‘s go back to the example of the list I would give Universe to take care of.

1. Money for the car insurance. How would Universe handle it? Maybe my mother wins money in Atlantic City and she decides to share some with me and I also receive an unexpected check in the mail. Between the two of them - they more than cover the premium.

2. The inspiration for my new ebook. Universe urges me to make an unplanned stop at the library where I find a new book that just came in and I find it is exactly the subject I feel inspired to write about.

3. The engagement I didn’t want to attend. The people I was supposed to meet with call me and tell me something else came up and apologize because we will have to do it another time. No hurt feelings on either side.

4. My computer problem. I find out the guy who runs my yoga class also fixes computers on the side and charges less than half what a professional would. I find this out by simply chatting with the person next to me while doing my fun task of taking the yoga class in the first place.

5. My garage getting cleaned out. My niece has just gotten into selling on Ebay and offers to clean out my garage if she can sell and keep the profit on the items I know longer want to keep.

I can‘t tell you the thrill-chills you will get as you watch Universe work out these kind of “miracles” without any effort on your part.

Now there is one last step to this exercise. As Universe goes about its business and accomplishes each of these tasks for you, it is important that you acknowledge it, be grateful for it and encourage more.

Anytime the Universe easily handles one of my tasks and I have clapped my hands together gleefully (and yes, there have been many times I have literally clapped my hands together gleefully) I always follow up with a “Thank You Universe and more of that please!”

It helps you to take notice of “who” is responsible for helping you out and reinforces the belief that you really can depend on it for the future. Plus when you say “more of that please” and you start knowing it is really coming, you get more excited about handing over the next task and watching with wonder to see how Universe will work it out.

I’ll be honest, while I used to write out this list almost everyday, I now find myself doing it more often mentally. Now if something comes up that I don’t feel like dealing with, I’ll immediately throw it in Universe’s court. For instance, if the boss says I have to work late tonight I give an immediate mental “Yuck! Universe I’ll let you handle this one. I want to go home happily on time tonight.” Then I forget about it and watch as the Universe does its stuff and reminds the boss that his child has a recital tonight and we can’t work late after all.

But if you are just starting with this exercise, I would definitely do the physical list. It will give you a great feeling of relief as you write down the tough things you want “your manager” to deal with, so you can stay focused on the things that you are inspired to do today.

Happy Creating!

Raise Your Energy Level

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. How high is your energy level. Does it sometimes seem hard to get excited about the day. Here's an article that tells us why it is important to keep our excitement level high in order to attract what we want faster. Enjoy.

The Law Of Attraction Shocking Secret

This shocking truth may be shocking to more than just a few people. The success or failure in applying the law of attraction is based largely on how much energy a person has. So although your intent may be clear, if your own energy is low then you are not as likely to gain the success you are trying to achieve.

There are several ancient yet scientifically proven ways to increase your personal energy to yield outstanding results. The results could be as extreme as, using the techniques and manifesting results within days compared to not using it and waiting for months to see results. We as human beings need to gain as well as conserve our energy in order to propel our thoughts with dynamic impact. Increased energy is everything to the attraction process.

The benefits of positive thinking are not limited to just being happy. When your thoughts are positive and high you conserve more of your personal energy. However when your thoughts are low and negative you can immediately feel powerless and drained of energy.

Energy is all around you and although you may not be able to see it, you can become aware of it and use it to increase your intentions using the law of attraction. However no matter what tools or techniques you use to raise your energy level the most important first step is to begin with your personal energy.

One way to begin monitoring your own energy is to ask yourself this question: How often do you engage in meaningful exchanges with people who love and support you? Believe it or not, the energy directed towards you from others greatly feeds your power to attract what you want. People are either taking or adding to your tank of energy.

When you add high energy with the law of attraction you can gain greater results, quickly. That is the one secret that few people seem to understand. Ask yourself these questions, how effective have you been in manifesting what you want? What would you want to attract if you could greatly increase your manifesting energy?

Having A Bad Day...? Turn It Around NOW

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. How many times have we started the day in a negative manner. Beginning the day on a negative note, dictates how the rest of your day will be. Here's an article that teaches us how to "turn it around NOW". It can be really easy to make our day positive again. You simply have to want to do so.

Law of Attraction Article: Having A Bad Day? Learn To Turn It Around NOW!

We’ve all had those kind of days. You know the one where the alarm doesn’t go off, you stub your toe as you get out of bed, there’s no hot water, you’re out of coffee, and you just know it is going to be a horrible day.

So now that your day has started like this, how much worse are you going to allow it to get? That’s right. I’m asking you what you are going to do about it?

Many people bristle at the thought that they have any responsibility towards it at all. I mean after all “everyone has a bad day once in awhile.” You just do your best to get through it, How many times have you thought to yourself “I just wish this day was over already so I could start over again tomorrow.”

What a horrible waste of today that would be! You have the ability to turn it around right this moment!

So often we fall into the mistaken belief that “fate” has its own agenda in our lives and that we do not have any control over the way it goes sometimes. To learn how to create the big things you are wanting in your life, you need to start learning how to control the little ones.

If you have a day that starts out badly, it is your job to say “O.K. That’s enough! I’ve already had 3 bad things happen today - that’s enough bad things to last me for a week. From here on it - only good comes my way!”

Then take notice of all the small indications that your “luck” is indeed turning around.

For instance, in the past I’ve had mornings where I’ve overslept, looked outside to find it was pouring rain and was not going to make me and my son’s 5 block walk to school very pleasant, my son informed me that he forgot to complete an assignment that was due that day, I had no milk for my coffee or his breakfast, the dog whined at the thought of having to go out in the rain…whatever the annoyances might have been.

In the old days, I would have taken these things as a horrible “sign” that things were just going to keep being that bad, if not worse the rest of the day. For some reason, like so many other people, I thought that somehow “fate” had dictated this and there was nothing I could do about it except struggle through it.

Then as I read more and learned more about the Law of Attraction, I realized how silly it was to believe that just because a few bad things had happened in the morning that the rest of the day had to be that way too. I realized how “brainwashed” I had unconsciously become that I never stopped to ask myself “Who says? Who says it has to be this way all day? Where did I get this silly idea, and why do I let it play out again and again?“

That’s when I started using the saying that I mentioned a few paragraphs above. “Enough already! I’m turning this around now!“

The reason I am dedicating a whole article to this is because I feel it is really important for people to notice if they have these unconscious beliefs themselves. Because unfortunately people can play out this “bad luck thing” for far longer than just one day. I’ve heard people say “this is the worst week ever, the worst month, the worst year; I’ve even heard people say it is the worst decade of their lives!

Well what can you expect to happen if you get that belief in your head? The worst year or even decade?!

Once you have that kind of belief in your mind, you can be sure that you are going to look at and experience one bad thing after another. Worse than that, you will completely ignore any good things that happen and deliberately “focus” on only the negative things, just to prove that you are, in fact, correct and that this is indeed the worst possible week, month or year in your life!

It is amazing sometimes how our minds only see what we direct them to. You can have 3 bad things happen and 4 good things, yet you will find yourself only focusing on the bad to prove your own point to yourself and anyone around you who will listen, that you were right all along. But that is such a waste of precious time that you can be creating wonderful experiences in your life.

Maybe you do it for unconscious sympathy from yourself and from others. Maybe the whole “fate” thing was just something you picked up along the way like I had. It doesn’t matter which way these thoughts came about. All that matters is that it is time to regain control over your own destiny and decide to turn it around now!

So the next time you feel like your day is “cursed“ take notice and consciously decide to turn it around. You are in control here and you decide to put an end to it right now! You decide that a ton of good things are coming your way today to more than make up for the rough start, and more importantly decide that you are going to notice each and every positive one of them.

Before you know it, the positive will far outweigh the negative and you can turn the worst day of your life into the best one ever!

They Have It...Why Not Me?

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. Are yo a dreamer? Dreamers are the most creative people in the world. In their dreams they can have anything they want. Everything comes easy to them. Their every wish is granted.

How do they do this? They simply BELIEVE. They BELIEVE they can have anything they want. They BELIEVE that everything comes easy to them. They BELIEVE every wish will be granted to them.

These dreamers are the wealthiest people on the planet. All of the most successful people have dared to dream and BELIEVED those dreams were true. That's the only difference in where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow. BELIEF. That's all. It's that easy.

Enjoy this article. If you dare to dream, it can be YOU too.

Us And Them – Why You Should Always Dare To Dream

I remember as a child looking at the big houses and shiny, new cars in the street thinking “Wow! Those people are so lucky!”. As I grew up, I observed how much it seemed so normal to separate “us” – the middle class, from “them” – the wealthy. It never really occurred to me as a teenager to question this, but as an adult chasing my big, grandiose dreams, I have found myself eternally perplexed by the self separation that seems to happen amongst humans.

Why do so many people seem to ‘wish’ for the abundance of wealth that life offers, yet never truly believe that it’s in any way possible for them? My question is… Why not? The only way that wealth is ever going to happen is to first believe it is possible. The crazy thing is, it is SO MUCH MORE POSSIBLE than most people ever really know!!

I came from a middle class family, and we often (I mean really often!) struggled with money, but we always kept the dream alive. My father always had an entrepreneurial spirit and started many new business ventures, even though, unfortunately, the financial jackpot always eluded us. We had a better kind of wealth though – love and encouragement. You see, our parents always encouraged my sister and I with strong words like “You can be anything you want to be, if you want it bad enough”.

So now, at 31, I own a multi-million dollar property portfolio, I quit my job several years ago for a life of freedom, I’ve married the man of my dreams, I live abroad and I frequently travel the world. So what’s the difference between me and the other middle class people who didn’t realize their dreams? Only a belief that it was possible.

For instance, I would walk into a store and try on the most expensive pair of shoes I could find, even though I knew I didn’t have the money to buy them. I wanted to be comfortable with that kind of wealth, and I was also very aware of keeping my language, internal and external, positive and aligned with my dreams. Instead of looking at the shoes and immediately saying “I can’t afford those!”, I would say “I choose not to buy them, today”. Being wealthy starts with feeling wealthy. Consider all the people who didn’t feel wealthy and won the lottery… most of them squandered it all away, because even though they really wanted it, they never really felt worthy of having it.

So take the time to reflect on what you’re thinking, feeling and saying (both to yourself and out loud), and decide if it’s aligned with your goals and dreams. If not, consider finding a new approach… and be sure remove the phrase “I can’t afford it” from your vocabulary!

As for me, I’ve still got a long way to go, and I never want to stop growing and striving for more, (does that journey ever stop?), but these days I can see a $40 Million dollar mansion, or 180 ft Super yacht and comfortably say “that’s for me”, and know for sure that it is.

Trust Your Own Feelings

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. I was reading Don't Let Anybody Steal Your Dream by Dexter Yager. He outlines how important it is to hold on to your dreams. Family and friends can be your worst enemies when it comes to fulfilling your dreams. They can also be your biggest supporters. Ultimately it comes down to your belief. Hold on to it, and all will work out according to the Universe.

Enjoy this article.

Opinions And The Law Of Attraction

I don't know how many times I used to listen to other people's opinions in a decision I was making for my life. I would get phone calls from family or friends who were always putting in their two cents. When I found the Law of Attraction, I realized how many people were getting a say in how I create my world. Ultimately it was my choice to take the advice or not, but looking at hindsight, I can see where my life was headed and I didn't like it.

When most people are giving you their opinion, they are trying to help you. Maybe they think that their way is the best way. But because one way works for one person, doesn't necessarily mean it works for you.

Many times I would hear my gut instinct tell me what to do and I wouldn't listen. Instead I would defer to the instincts of others when I should have been listening to my own.

It's important when you are making decisions about your life to listen to your intuition. Someone who tells you that they know best, may know best for them, but you are the creator of your world and unless you truly trust and know that someone is going to give you sound advice, stick with your own.

If you are confused about a decision, see what result is that you would like and give up the how to the Universe. Once you see a solution and you give it up to the Universe, pay attention to any dreams or signs you may receive throughout the week. And yes, the Universe may bring someone into your life to help you with your decision but you will feel wonderful about their advice unlike the feeling you find when someone tells you what to do and it doesn't feel right.

You are here to create your world. Remember that if you are one who loves to tell others your opinion. There is no need to try and create their world and yours as well. When you are trying to control another's world through opinion, your opinion will attract to you through the Universe. Even if it is well meaning, opinion comes out as a control vibration. I don't know about you but I sure don't want the Universe bringing me more situations to have to try and control.

If your opinion is giving someone hope or encouragement, than this is a different story. When your advice comes surrounded by love and support, it is no longer an opinion. It is compassion.

Once a decision has been made with or without someone else's help, stick to it. And if perchance it wasn't the right decision, leave regret behind. Regretful feelings attract more things to regret. Regret belongs right up there with fear and doubt as far as the Law of Attraction goes. Each day is a brand new day to create. If yesterday's decision didn't work out for you, you always have today to make a new decision. Learn from your experience and move on as soon as you can so that those vibrations of the feelings of failure don't hang around. Truly there is no failure, this is a perception of a result. You are an incredible human being and we are in this together. We are all learning from past experiences.

So next time you have one of those controlling friends or family start telling you how to run your life, just let them know that you appreciate their opinion but you have to do this one on your own. And next time you have a well meaning friend or family member give you support, tell them how much you appreciate their love and maybe listen to what they have to say. Extrapolate what you want out of the given opinion and then go about creating your own world.
