What you focus on expands.
If what we really want for our lives is the same as what we are telling ourselves (and others) we want, things can happen in our favor.
Strong intention (what we want) + sufficient action (acting on what we want) = greater chance of things moving in a good direction.
Put another way, our intentions are strongest when what we want in life aligns with our life choices.
Aligning the head and the heart isn’t easy.
An action/vision board can help. So can writing about what you want.
But here’s the thing: you have to be honest with yourself.
In my life as a freelancer, if I don’t tell people I’m looking for work, I stand no chance at finding work.
The same goes for—anything.
“I’m officially looking for my dream man!” my friend declared over coffee the other day.
We have to:
imagine
focus our attention
alert the Universe
ask/act/declare
Our brain-bodies don’t know the difference between sitting on an actual beach and imagining we are on that beach. Our physiological response to these is the same.
It’s like they say: dress for the job you want.
Actions are signals.
Tara Swart:
When you allow your brain to be conscious of and focus on what you want in life, the raised awareness that results will work in your favor to automatically bring opportunities into your life. It’s not magic —it’s just that you are able to see the possibilities to move forward with your dreams in a way that your brain was hiding from you previously.
It kind of does sound like magic. Worth a try?
