It’s easy enough to understand the concept behind the Law of Attraction (LOA) - we get what we focus on. In our busy lives however it’s not always easy to stay focused on what we want so I developed this simple schedule to help me stay on track. It’s the routine I used every day to create the dream life I live now.

First thing

On waking, the first thing I do is spend a few minutes appreciating whatever I can in my immediate surroundings. For example, my comfortable bed, a good night’s sleep, the fact that the sun is shining again and my plans for the day. I used to be woken by an alarm clock, but even then I tried my best to appreciate knowing that I was needed somewhere or that I was employed and being paid.

In the bathroom, I smile at my reflection in the mirror, wish myself good morning and tell myself “I love you”; you can do this silently if you’re worried about being overheard, but don’t skip it.

Preparing for the day

I usually do this while having breakfast. I simply think about my plans and how my day will be organised and spend a few seconds “feeling ahead” for each segment to see if any negative emotions come up. If they do, I’ll spend a couple of minutes thinking what it is about that time period that I don’t like or don’t want .. and then immediately ask myself “ok, what do I want and how do I want to feel?” This pivoting is something I’ll continue to do throughout the day, whenever a negative feeling comes up.

If I have a really busy day ahead, I’ll also spend some time allocating some of my tasks to the Universe. Esther Hicks calls this the “Placemat Process”; imagine a placemat with a line drawn down the middle. On the left is what I intend to complete that day myself, and on the right are the tasks I hand over to the Universe to deal with. Now I don’t have to think of them again today.

Throughout the day I continually refocus on the mantra “I want to feel good” and often just saying/thinking that is enough to break a negative chain of thought.

Refocusing during the day

Just before moving into a new portion of the day, for example as I leave the house or when I start a new piece of work, I’ll pause and decide what I intend for that segment. This is a simple one-line statement and would be something like “I intend a safe and quick journey”, “I intend to complete this work easily and do a great job.” The idea is simply to set my intention and to refocus on the next section of the day.

Ending the day

At the end of the day, I want to go to sleep with the memory of all the good things that happened. For me, it really helps to write them down so I have a special, beautiful journal that I keep only for that. I spend some time savoring everything I can appreciate about the day, congratulate myself for all the times I held to my positive attitude and set my intention for the last segment - a refreshing, peaceful sleep.

This simple schedule helps me to stay focused and enabled me to manifest the life of my dreams.
