The Secret to Paradise Health

Kate Corbin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:02:09 +0000

“Our body is really the product of our thoughts.”
– Dr. John Hagelin, Quantum Physicist

According to the Law of Attraction, you magnetize and attract to
yourself whatever you focus on – whether you want it or not. If
you think about and imagine yourself feeling exuberantly healthy,
you’re attracting vibrant good health. If you worry about some dreaded
disease and read scary stories about the vast numbers of people
afflicted with it, you’re attracting illness. When you make the
connection between what you’re thinking and feeling and what’s manifesting
in your experience, you become the conscious creator of your own
precious life and paradise health is just a thought away.

Twenty-four hundred years ago, Plato asserted – If you want to heal
the body, you must first heal the mind. The mind-body connection
has never been as strongly supported by science as it is today.
More and more scientists agree that you create your physical condition
through your thoughts, which means you can think yourself ill or
think yourself well.

The starting point for attaining and maintaining paradise health
is to know that Well-Being is your natural state. And, of course,
the Well-Being of physical health is no different from the Well-Being
of financial abundance or loving relationships or successful careers.
The question is always the same: Are you allowing your natural state
of Well- Being or resisting it?

Because it’s natural for your body to be well, when you feel pain,
discomfort, or illness of any kind, it’s your guidance system alerting
you to the existence of blocked Energy. Thus alerted, you can then
make the decision to release resistance and allow Well-Being.

So HOW do you allow your natural state of Well-Being? Here are some
tips:

* If you don’t feel good – whether it’s a simple headache or a full-blown
“disease” with a label and a diagnosis from a doctor -
a good first response is to relax and breathe deeply. Your body
knows how to right itself and often the answer is just to get out
of its way. As you relax and breathe, you release resistance and
allow the Well-Being to once again flow smoothly and freely.

* Focus on health rather than illness. Focus deliberately and consistently
on the physical condition you desire. Think and speak only of health.
Imagine, visualize, intend, affirm, and expect vibrant good health.

* An unwanted physical sensation is information that your thoughts
are blocking your natural state of Well-Being. Be your own doctor
by tuning in to how you feel and choosing thoughts that feel better.
By paying attention to how you feel and reaching for a feeling of
relief, you nip resistance in the bud and avoid the potential for
more serious physical distress.

If you’re currently experiencing less than excellent health, it’s
empowering to know you can transform sickness into wellness by directing
your thoughts toward health.

As you relax and breathe, find reasons to be happy, find people
and things to appreciate, love yourself and others, notice how you
feel and think thoughts that feel better, you’re choosing to allow
your natural state of Well-Being. When you do these things, you’re
masterfully applying the Law of Attraction and Paradise Health is
just a thought away!

The Power of Imagination

Kate Corbin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:15:58 +0000

“To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already
there.” – Richard Bach.

Imagination is the process of harnessing and utilizing the creative
power of the mind. Imagination resides in the boundless realm of
the mind where you can travel anywhere at the speed of thought.
When you soar with the wondrous creative powers of your imagination,
you possess a first-class ticket to the life of your dreams.

Imagine Your Ideal Life. You are not required to accept
your present circumstances. As you summon up the feeling of living
your ideal life right here right now, you allow the Energy of your
thoughts and feelings to produce the physical manifestation that
you desire. When you employ the power of imagination, you are no
longer limited by external conditions. You are in charge. If you
can imagine it, you can experience it.

As you access the power of your imagination, inspiration will bubble
up. As you fill your subconscious with thoughts of what you would
like to experience, you can bring anything you desire into your
life. Imagination is the language through which you communicate
with the Universe. As you develop your body through physical exercise,
you can develop your imagination through mental exercise.

Imagination Exercise. Have a clear vision of your ideal
life and energize it with the power of imagination. Imagine how
your ideal life looks, feels, sounds, smells, and tastes. Each morning
spend a few minutes imagining the way you want your day to play
out. Imagine feeling great, moving through your day in a strong,
vibrant body, enjoying pleasant interactions with others, doing
fulfilling work with clarity and purpose. If you are visually oriented,
you will see distinct pictures in your mind. It’s OK if you don’t.
Imagining with feeling is all that’s required. As you imagine
vividly and with feeling, you are creating the circumstances for
all your desires to flow to you quickly and easily.

Let’s say you’re planning a vacation to a place you’ve always
dreamed of going. It’s a great idea to spend some time imagining
how wonderful this vacation will be. You see yourself strolling
in a rose garden on a beautiful spring day with a gentle breeze.
You feel the thrill of parasailing over a sparkling turquoise sea.
You see yourself resting peacefully in a hammock on the beach in
perfect weather. When you use your imagination, you can enjoy
the same vacation many times – before you go – while you’re there
– and when you’re back at the office.

Be There Now! The Universe does not distinguish between
what is actually happening now and what you are imagining or remembering.
To the Universe, it’s always the Eternal Now. So, in addition to
imagining a fabulous future, you can use your imagination to relive
the wonderful times of your life. Relive your triumphs and successes
– when you did something you weren’t sure you could do. Who says
the great moments have to be once-in-a-lifetime events? You
can replay and relive them as often as you like, just as you enjoy
repeatedly listening to your favorite music or watching your favorite
movies or eating your favorite foods. Relive the joy of the vacation,
the promotion, the baby’s first steps in your imagination and you
will attract even more good times to cherish.

As you charge your imagination with emotion, your mental picture
will attract its physical equivalent. Vividly think about what you
want and then SEE it clearly in your imagination. The power of imagination
speeds up the process from desire to manifestation. As you experience
in your imagination what you wish to experience in your life, you
will soon be living the life of your dreams.

What are you willing to imagine?

The Power of Dreams

Kate Corbin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:14:37 +0000

“There are people who put their dreams in a little box
and say ‘Yes, I’ve got dreams, of course, I’ve got dreams.’
Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look
in it, and yep, they’re still there. These are great dreams, but
they never even get out of the box.” – Erma Bombeck

Are you ready to find those dreams you gave up on, dust them off,
polish them up and start making them come true? Are you ready to
go for what you want and ignore all the voices (both internal and
external) that try to discourage you from even trying? As you dream
of the most phenomenal life you can imagine, you set the Energy
in motion and begin turning your dreams into reality. If you
can dream it, you can have it.

As you dream, you open up to insights from your subconscious mind,
from Infinite Intelligence. As you dream, innovations, originality,
a different way of viewing the world float into your conscious awareness.
Dreaming frees your mind, inspires new ideas, and opens up new vistas
of possibility.

When you dream, your imagination leads the way. Allow yourself to
open up with no restrictions and no limitations. Allow yourself
to GET CARRIED AWAY. I know this is what we were taught NOT to do
when we were kids. Well, it’s OK now – even essential!
As images appear and ideas arise, add more Energy to the images
and the ideas by focusing on them with positive expectation. As
you do this for several days or weeks, you will come to know –
with your head as well as your heart – that dreams really
do come true.

Dreaming sets you free. As you dream, your mind transports you to
a place of pure desire where you’re no longer bothered by
practicalities, logic, and reasons why you can’t or shouldn’t
have what you want. Dream with passion until you KNOW deep inside
that you can absolutely be and do and have whatever you desire.
Dream until your dreams come true.

Your Creative Genius resides in your dreams. If your Creative Genius
has not been called into action much since childhood, it may be
a bit sluggish. But it has been waiting patiently and, when invited
to do so, will enthusiastically go to work for you. Liberate
your Creative Genius. Creativity is an inner resource that is
available to you 24/7 and you can tap into this wellspring of creativity
whenever you desire. By concentrating on your dreams for a few minutes
each day, you create a clear mental picture of the life you want
to live. As you dream with excitement and expectation, you are submitting
your order to the Cosmic Café. And, in the Cosmic Café,
the waiter always responds: “Your wish is my command!”

In accordance with the Law of Attraction, as you continue to dream
of your ideal life, you are attracting and creating the circumstances
and events for your amazing, fantastic, extraordinary life. Attract
and create through the power of your dreams. Now when someone
sarcastically throws out the line – “In your dreams”
– you can smile, confidently thinking: “Yes, that’s
where it all starts – in my dreams!”

The Power of Intention

Kate Corbin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:11:24 +0000

“Our intention creates our reality.” –
Wayne Dyer

The process of setting intentions is a powerful way to design and
create your life in exact accord with your desires. In the process
of identifying your desires and then focusing the Energy of your
thoughts in that direction, you are applying the Law of Attraction
to attract what you do want rather than what you don’t
want. As you continue to make strong intentions for what you
would like to experience, you will realize that you are the Master
Creator of your own life.

A powerful way to wake up each morning is by setting positive intentions
for the day. In my opinion, the very most important intention, in
fact, the only essential intention is to Feel Good.
Feeling good aligns you with Source Energy, keeps the Well-Being
flowing, and allows in what you have been asking for.

Intentions to Begin Your Day:

• Today I will feel good (always number one).

• Today I will feel exhilarated and energized throughout my
day.

• Today I will find things to appreciate.

• Today I will choose thoughts and experiences that please
me.

• Today I will rejoice in the awareness that I can be and
do and have whatever I desire.

• Today I will be a magnet for amazing prosperity, vibrant
good health and fulfilling relationships.

• Today I will maintain a strong connection to Source Energy.

• Today I will uplift others.

• Today I will open, relax, breathe and draw in a continuous
stream of Well-Being.

• Today I will relax and have fun.

If I have an appointment, a lunch date, or a project to complete,
I set my intention in detail for those specific activities to go
smoothly and joyfully for myself and everyone I will interact with.

Intentions to End Your Day:

• I will enjoy peaceful, relaxing sleep.

• I will rest well and refresh my body and mind.

• I will wake up rejuvenated, ready for another glorious day.

Intentions powerfully focus the Energy which will magnetize into
your life all that you desire. Think big – knowing that there
is nothing you cannot be or do or have – then direct your
life with the power of intention. And, I suggest that you always: Make
it your dominant intention to Feel Good.

The Power of Visualization

Kate Corbin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:09:58 +0000

“Do you know what the one question is that we hear the most
from those who’ve made big dreams come true? ‘What on earth did
I ever do to deserve this? And we’re usually, like, ‘Dude, you
visualized.‘” – Mike Dooley

Visualization is the key to intentional creation. It is a powerful
technique whereby you see yourself succeeding at what you are about
to do before you do it. Athletes and others employ visualization
and guided imagery to see and feel themselves performing optimally.
For example, Tiger Woods believes that visualization makes a huge
difference in his performance. Before he ever swings a golf club,
he sees his shot landing precisely where he wants it. Because your
mind thinks in pictures and images, as you visualize, you are
programming your subconscious mind for success.

Visualization helps focus your creative Energies. It softens resistance
and gets you to a confident state of allowing your desire to manifest.
Visualization is such a powerful process because your subconscious
mind doesn’t know the difference between something that is real
and something that is vividly imagined. Your subconscious mind becomes
more receptive to your desires when they are charged with strong
emotion. When you conjure up the vision AND the feeling of your
desire, you activate the vibration of your desire and the Universe
responds with the manifestation.

Visualization Exercise. Two excellent times to visualize
are at night as you’re drifting off to sleep and in the morning
as you’re waking up. At those times, you’re in a state of allowing
– relaxed and focused inward. Sit or recline comfortably. Close
your eyes and take a few long slow deep breaths. Focus on your breathing
and allow distractions and idle thoughts to float on by. Bring your
consciousness to one part of your body at a time. Focus your attention
on your toes and feet. Feel them begin to relax. Gradually move
up your body, relaxing each muscle. Release the tension in your
body one muscle at a time. Inhale deeply. Exhale completely. Relax
and breathe.

As you relax and breathe deeply, visualize yourself in the most
tranquil setting you can imagine – perhaps lying on a raft in a
lake, being lovingly rocked by the gentle currents of the water.
As you float in this peaceful state, begin painting a picture in
your mind of what you desire. See yourself as vividly as possible
living a life that is perfect for you in every way. See the
way you look, feel, act, and speak. See what exhilarating activities
you’re engaged in and see who you’re enjoying them with. See and
feel yourself, your body, your health, your environment, your relationships,
your work, your entire life with great emotion exactly the way you
want it to be. After a few minutes of intense focus on your desire,
take another deep breath and slowly open your eyes.

You know from the Law of Attraction that the process for attracting
and creating anything you desire is to focus on what you want and
feel it into being. As you visualize your dreams with strong
emotion, they will come true for you. Use the power of visualization
to design and create the life you truly desire – the life of your
most extraordinary dreams.

The Skinny on Getting Thin and Staying Thin

Kate Corbin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:14:33 +0000

“To better understand the Law of Attraction, see yourself
as a magnet attracting unto you the essence of that which you are
thinking and feeling. And so, if you are feeling fat, you cannot
attract thin.” – Abraham-Hicks

Have you ever dared to ask, “How can I eat the foods I love
AND weigh what I want to weigh?” Perhaps that question has
never occurred to you because you believe it has to be one way or
the other – eat what you want to eat OR look the way you want
to look. Well, here’s the good news: When you apply the Law
of Attraction, you can have both!

When you apply the Law of Attraction, you can have the body of your
dreams with-out deprivation diets or strenuous exercise. When you
apply the Law of Attraction, you can thoroughly enjoy the pleasures
of food again. When you apply the Law of Attraction, you can literally
think your ideal body into being with the infinite power of your
mind. In fact, it’s your thoughts that make you fat or
thin – not your food.

So how does it all work? According to the Law of Attraction, at
every moment you draw to yourself the essence of what you predominantly
think and feel. The Law of Attraction states that you at-tract into
your life whatever you focus on, which means that foods are not
“fattening” per se. If they were, everyone who eats
them would gain weight and we know that’s not true. We all
know people who can eat anything and everything without gaining
an ounce. They have an expectation, an underlying belief that they
can eat whatever they like and maintain their desired shape, so
they can. And so can you!

When you have a desire, you’re placing your order in the Cosmic
Café. So, if you have a desire to be thin, you’re placing
your order to be thin. If you then think, “but I’m fat
and I’ll always be fat,” you have in effect called the
waiter over and canceled your order to be thin. The waiters and
the chefs in the Cosmic Café all work for you; and, when
you place an order, they immediately respond to your request and
will serve you exactly what you desire UNLESS you cancel your order.

Your thoughts and beliefs determine whether food contributes to
weight gain or to weight loss. Your body conforms to the expecta-tions,
attitudes, and beliefs of your mind. By applying the Law of Attraction,
you can sculpt your ideal body with your thoughts.

How empowering it is to know that focusing on your ideal body creates
your ideal body and that focusing on, worrying about, struggling
against unwanted weight perpetuates your overweight condition. How
empowering it is to know that you can change your physical condition
by directing your thoughts toward the body you desire.

The Secret to Weight Loss – Mind Power

Kate Corbin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:11:43 +0000

“The problem is not your thighs, Sweetie, the problem
is your head.” – Carrie on Sex and the City

You’ve heard it said that you are what you eat. Don’t believe it.
You’re NOT what you eat. You’re what you THINK. It’s not the food.
It’s what you believe about the food. What you believe about the
food you eat determines how it affects your body. Your body is a
direct reflection of your thoughts. The inner world of your mind
creates the outer world of your body, therefore, if you want to
change your body, start by changing your thoughts. Here’s the secret:
Changing the way you eat is optional. Changing the way you THINK
about what you eat is essential.

Every thought causes a reaction in the body. Think about a lemon.
Imagine biting into a juicy lemon wedge right now. Can you taste
the sour, tangy juice? Do you notice the saliva forming in your
mouth? It’s a psychosomatic response. Your body is reacting to your
thoughts.

Do you think your overweight condition is set in stone? It’s not.
Quantum Physics tells us that nothing is fixed, that everything
is in a state of potential. Einstein’s 1905 formula E = mc2 explains
that Energy and matter are interchangeable; that, in reality, everything
is Energy. The fundamental aspect of the Universe is dancing, fluid,
ever-changing Energy. The Energy of the Universe is shapeable, formable,
and moldable; and you shape, form and mold this Energy with your
thoughts. Quantum Physics has scientifically proven that you create
your own reality based on where you focus your attention.

My client, Sandra, literally reshaped her body with her thoughts.
Realizing that weight loss begins in the mind, she has transformed
her body into a fat-burning machine with her thoughts. She now imagines
herself thin. She now thinks of herself as a thin person and she
likes herself as a thin person. She likes her body and happily gives
it healthy, light foods. In just three months she has lost thirty
pounds and is well on her way to her ideal size. As she thinks of
herself as thin and imagines herself thin and feels good about herself,
she is actually becoming thin for the first time in her life.

“You have absolute control over but one thing, and that
is your thoughts. If you fail to control your own mind, you may
be sure you will control nothing else.” - Napoleon Hill

It’s true. You have complete control over nothing but your thoughts
and, happily, that’s the only thing you need to control. When you
control your thoughts, you control your life. Your body responds
to the instructions it receives from your mind. So, as you tell
your body what you expect from it, it will begin to behave accordingly.
When you consciously choose your thoughts, you can consciously choose
your body. Your thoughts created the body you now have and your
thoughts can create the body you would like to have.

As a society, Americans have tried EVERYTHING to fight the battle
of the bulge. We’ve tried surgery, supplements, drugs, liposuction
to vacuum fat out of the body, inserting stables in the ear, tummy-tucks
to remove excess skin and fat, gastric bypass to reduce the stomach
to the size of a walnut, vinyl sauna suits to sweat off pounds,
and EVEN caffeine tights. Yes, Americans have tried everything to
be thin – everything except one thing – applying the power of the
mind. We’ve tried every type of action. Now in the Age of Mind,
it’s time to apply the awesome and unlimited power of the mind.

Think and Feel Your Way to Paradise Health

Kate Corbin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 19:20:16 +0000

“If you want to see what your body will look like tomorrow,
look at your thoughts today.” – Navajo proverb

Complaining about a pain in his arm, the patient says to his doctor
– “Doc, it hurts when I go like this.” The doctor
replies – “Then don’t go like that.” This
old joke actually contains sage wisdom. It also follows the basic
guidelines of the Law of Attraction: Focus on what you DO want
– NOT on what you DON’T want!

The process for attracting and creating vibrant good health is the
same as for attracting and creating anything you desire –
focus on what you want until you FEEL it into being. As you find
the Feeling Place of good health, you become a vibrational match
to good health. You have the potential for both illness and health
in your body right now and will solicit one or the other or a mixture
depending on your thoughts and feelings. Illness, like any lack
of Well-Being, is a result of vibrational resistance. When you
connect with Source Energy and allow the healing Life Force Energy
of the Universe to flow fully through you, you are attracting paradise
health.

Your body responds to your Thought-Feelings and reflects them back
to you in your bodily conditions. If you have doubts, fears and
worries about your health, these limiting beliefs will manifest
in your body as lack of health. Illness comes from patterns of Thought-Feelings
that block your natural state of Well-Being. You attract bodily
conditions that are a vibrational match to your thoughts and feelings.
Accordingly, focusing on health invites in your natural state of
physical Well-Being and focusing on, worrying about, struggling
against illness invites in illness.

Burn an image of paradise health into your subconscious and your
body will align with that image. See yourself as healthy and you
will be healthy. See and feel yourself with great clarity in your
ideal state of health. How empowering it is to know that you
can change from a sickness orientation to a wellness orientation
by directing your thoughts and feelings toward health.

Breathing techniques such as Pranayama teach that breathing has
an amazing power to affect your state of mind and that breathing
is the primary source of Prana or Chi, the Life Force Energy which
permeates the Universe. This Chi or Prana can be guided by the mind
and is responsive to Thought-Feelings. Positive, optimistic thoughts
increase the flow of Energy and lead to improved health. Pessimistic,
downer thoughts disrupt and diminish the Life Force Energy and diminish
your health. As you focus on your breathing, riding the waves of
the inhalation and the exhalation, you will feel your breath purifying
and energizing every cell of your body. It is natural for you to
feel good. It is natural for your body to be well.

The answer to vibrant good health is not some esoteric therapy,
expensive supplement or strict diet regimen. The answer is to utilize
the wisdom of the Law of Attraction and begin attracting and creating
the health you desire. Whatever less than excellent health situation
you may be enduring today was created by your Thought-Feelings yesterday.
Your new, improved Thought-Feelings will be reflected in a vibrant,
passionate, vital physical condition tomorrow. You can literally
Think and Feel Your Way to Paradise Health.

The Path from Mediocre to Meteoric

Kate Corbin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:42:40 +0000

“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the Master
calls a butterfly.” – Richard Bach

Are you ready for a meteoric life? Have you had enough of
mediocre? Deep inside, you KNOW you deserve a fantastic life. Maybe
you’ve been taught that you are less than amazing, that a
mundane, ordinary life is good enough for you, that just getting
by is the most you can expect. Well, it’s time to change all
that. How, you ask? To rise above mediocrity, the first step is
to remember something very important that you may have forgotten:

You are absolutely and eternally wonderful and worthy of whatever
you desire.

Deep inside, you know that’s true, but this truth may have
been covered up by limiting beliefs you’ve picked up along
the way. Here are two of the most popular limiting beliefs:

• I’m not good enough. There is nothing true
about this belief or any of its manifestations – I’m
not smart enough, talented enough, attractive enough, etc. You do
not need to justify your existence. You KNOW you are absolutely
wonderful and completely worthy just as you are.

• I can’t really have what I want. In this Universe
of Well-Being, where you can attract anything and everything you
desire, unlimited abundance is yours for the asking. It is not necessary
to settle for less than you really want. Remember?

Eternal Expansion. Life is an ongoing process of growing
and expanding and breaking through to new beginnings – to
experiences you could never have imagined from your previous vantage
point. Often we go through a difficult situation and look back later
and say – Thanks, I needed that or I am so glad that happened
or Gosh, that was the most fortunate turn of events. The point is
to proceed with confidence toward your new goal. Like the baby chick
breaking out of its shell, there’s a brand new exciting world
waiting out there for you that you didn’t even know existed.
This is when you wake up and feel the thrill of being alive. This
is when you take back your life and direct it in a wonderful new
direction. As you move through life, ask yourself – Who do
I want to be now? Who am I in the process of becoming?

“What if fine isn’t good enough? What if I want extraordinary?”
– from the movie, Hitch

Think BIG! Envision ideal circumstances. Eliminate all limitations
– money, time, I can’t, etc. Expect to have it all.
You decide what kind of life is right for you: ·ordinary
or extraordinary ·average or exceptional ·commonplace
or rare ·humble or proud ·plain or extravagant ·conventional
or avant-garde ·mediocre or meteoric. You decide what kind
of life is right for you.

And, if you decide that you want and deserve nothing less than a
meteoric existence, then go for it – paint a fabulous new
picture of who you are, write a delicious new script for your life,
make new, empowering I am statements. These exercises will set you
on the magical, joyous path from mediocre to meteoric.

The Power of Belief and Expectation

Kate Corbin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:15:21 +0000

“I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.”
– Mohammed Ali

Belief and expectation are emotions that add power to your desire.
Belief and expectation kick it up a notch, as Chef Emeril would
say. Your thoughts and feelings come from your beliefs about how
life works. It all starts with your belief system. If you believe
the purpose of life is joy, your life will be filled with joy. If
you believe life is hard, it will be filled with hardship. To
transform a mediocre life into a meteoric life, expand what you
believe is possible.

What is a belief, anyway? A belief is nothing more than a thought
you keep thinking, which means you can transform your beliefs by
choosing different thoughts. The feeling of empowerment is a
practiced thought as is the feeling of powerlessness. And you can
change limiting beliefs to empowering beliefs by choosing thoughts
that feel good.

So, if everything is determined by what you believe, how do you
get yourself to believe something you don’t currently believe?
Start with a clear, strong, passionate desire and talk yourself
into believing you can have it. Set your intentions. Employ the
power of dreaming, imagining, and visualizing. Start small. Start
with something that you have less resistance about. Keep taking
the next step – I did this, so I bet I can do that. When you
have confidence in one area, keep building on that until you get
yourself to believe that you CAN be and do and have whatever
you desire.

If you have believed that life is about limitations, lack, and struggle
– if you have been persuaded by others that life is hard and
you can’t really have what you want – if you’ve
been taught to settle, to accept less than you really want, you
can change all that. Repeat to yourself – I can do this. I
can have this. I can be this. I will not settle for less than I
want.

Do you really believe you can attain your goal? If the answer is
no or maybe or I’m not sure, use these three steps to amp
up your belief and expectation and convince yourself that it
is possible for you to attain your goal:

(1) Make a list of other things you have accomplished. For
example, the degree you earned; the project you completed at work;
the house you bought; the vacation you took; the spelling bee you
won in 5th grade. This exercise will help you get to the feeling,
the vibration of success.

(2) Feel a strong desire to attain your goal. Get excited
about it. Strong desire amps up belief and expectation.

(3) Make a list of the reasons why you deserve to attain your
goal. For example, because I want it, because I’m a good
person, because other people have it so why not me, because I’ve
wanted it for such a long time. This exercise will raise your belief
that you deserve to attain your goal.

Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Your thoughts become beliefs
and your reality reflects back to you what you believe. By amping
up your belief and expectation, you expand what is possible for
you. Decide absolutely that you will attain your goal. Deeply desire
it. Know you deserve it. Believe it and expect it and it is on
its way to you.
