The 30-Day Challenge to Use Affirmations and Visualization for Good Luck

There has been a lot of hype and media coverage about the Law of Attraction in recent years, especially after the release of the movie, The Secret. There seems to be a lot of emotion around this subject, both for and against. This is no surprise, given that we have changed as a society to have much less patience and a reduced attention span. I will delve deeper into all of this in a future article.

The tools associated with the Law of Attraction do work, and they work well. Most of the misunderstanding about these tools is due to people not really taking the time to give them a whirl.

So here's the 30-day challenge, should you choose to accept it

Take 30 days to use affirmations and visualization to improve your luck. This will not be likely to make you win the lottery, but should manifest as better luck in the smaller things in life. After 30 days, review how your luck has changed for the better.

When you do this, and it works will for you, keep doing it and start using some of the other tools available to improve your life dramatically.

Affirmations for Good Luck

You can use an affirmation such as "I always have great luck" or something similar that works best for you. Keep it short and easy to remember and repeat. It should be in the present-tense, in the "now." Repeat this affirmation first thing in the morning, even before you rise out of bed, when you're having a bath or shower, driving, while you're falling asleep and any time your mind isn't focused on a specific task.

Pay attention to what happens around you. Are you starting to make it through green lights, finding better parking spaces? Look for little things such as those. Whenever you notice a good luck event, say something like "Wow! I DO have the greatest luck" to reinforce the event both in your own mind and the universal energy.

Visualization for Good Luck

Visualization is a technique in which you "see" something happening in your mind's eye. With practice, it becomes easier and the things you visualize become more clear and detailed. It is somewhat akin to daydreaming, but done intentionally and directed by you. To visualize, close your eyes and start imagining yourself experiencing events that have been brought on by good luck (Please do not use this while driving or operating heavy equipment). As with the traffic light example above, you would see yourself easily making it to your destination with light traffic and every single traffic light being green. Another fun one is to see yourself finding a dime or quarter on the ground as you walk along. Be creative in your imagination!

Results?

Do your affirmations and visualization exercises for 30 days and be observant throughout the process. If you wish, take notes and review them at the end of the 30 days. Think about how your luck was before this and the differences you have observed. Good Luck!

Are You Wondering If You Are Living in Your Strengths?

If you are effectively living in your strengths then chances are you are happy. If you are living in areas in which you are weak, and perhaps wondering what on earth your strengths are, then you could definitely find more happiness by finding out your strengths. When you are clear what your strengths are, then you can figure out how to use them. When are using your strengths constructively every day, you will find more satisfaction with yourself and with your life. Let's look at the first step, finding out your strengths.

An easy way to figure out your strengths is to take the Gallup's StrengthsFinder. The StrengthsFinder can be accessed online by purchasing the book Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham & Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D. A code allows you access to the StrengthsFinder assessment. After taking the assessment, you will be given your top five strengths. While there are other ways to determine your strengths, this is an effective, focused, straightforward way.

Once people get their strengths, they sometimes dismiss them because their strengths seem so obvious to them. The situation is almost like our health. When we have it, we are fine. It is only when we lose our heath that it becomes a concern. If you have your strengths and are living in them, you are fine. Now you have words to describe who you are. Once you have your strengths, you now can sit with them to more fully understand who you are.

Once you more fully understand who you are, you can figure out how to live your life to suit you. A great example of living his strengths in the short term is Alex, my 18-year-old step son, who just returned from a convention in Anaheim. He is very strategic. He used that strength to plan each day at Disneyland. This strategy included having two time-stamped and time-limited fast passes for working the lines on different rides. He also went on all of his preselected choices at least once. He was definitely the leader of his group of Disneyland attendees.

A long term example is a few years ago, when a client of mine was hired for all of his strengths. However, over time he grew uneasy about his work. It turns out that through reorganizations and new bosses, his job had morphed away from his strengths. What to do? Go back and figure out how to use more of his strengths. The process of just coming to the conclusion of looking to use more of his strengths brought relief.

What does this mean for you? If you are looking for greater satisfaction and more happiness, look to your strengths. When you are living in your strengths, you will find yourself resonating with life. You may even be delighted by how much fun it is to do something and notice how long you enjoy being involved. It is then you will understand the importance of living in your strengths.

Make Your Life Magical - Not Work

How often have you wanted to upgrade a certain area of your life, only to find it too much "work"? Most people set personal and professional goals, and then are stunted in their achievement of those goals.

Let's look at some ways to make things easier, in the flow and more magical.

1) DECIDE what you want. You can't get what you really want if you don't know what you want. This sounds simple, but when I ask clients, they're often vague saying things like: "I want to have better relationships, I want more interesting work." This simply is not compelling or clear enough to move you forward.

2) ASK for what you want. This may be literal, like asking for a raise, more time with your spouse, or to be treated with respect. However, it's also spiritual. State what you want in the affirmative. No pleading, whining, or sense of not deserving. Let's say you want to earn $70,000 a year or more. You would write and say a statement like: I am so joyful and grateful that I easily receive $70,000 or more a year in salary, happy gifts and welcome suprises!

An additional idea for asking is to write what Noah St. John & Denise Berard call Afformations. In their Book of Afformations, they explain that the brain is a question answering, solution seeking "machine." So, simply asking afformitive questions brings positive answers and results. Here are a few samples: "Why do I enjoy the huge benefits I bring to others through my wild abundance? Why is it so easy to talk about money to my spouse? Why has God given me the power to obtain great wealth? Why is money such a wonderful gift to me? Why does money come to me so easily?"

3) BELIEVE that what you want is on the way. If you've ever planted anything, you know that you simply water, give sunlight and wait. You believe that the seeds you planted will become a flower, plant, vegetable or fruit. It can take days or weeks before the first sprout. The time frame didn't stop you from believing it would happen. The same is true for getting what you want.

4) FEEL the feelings. Again, it is essential that while you envision what you want, you feel joy, gratitude, excitement, love, peace, passion.

5) DO! As you get guidance, opportunity and insight, do what you know to do . Enjoy the process.

6) RECEIVE! This is part of the process. Receive what you wanted. It often turns out better then what you wanted. Give thanks, put some of what you received back into the flow and start again!

NOW let's play with these magical steps. Take a look at the playtime renewal below.

Stay Happy - Keep the Faith!

How do you keep a positive faith filled life even with the myriad of changes and challenges facing you today?  I take a few minutes to nourish yourself and remind yourself that you are not alone. 
 
Many of my friends and colleagues are experiencing rapid, unpredictable change.  Most of this change is not the type we would wish for.  It includes: layoffs, salary reductions, health scares and concerns, ending of relationships and the like.  So, how do you keep your faith in uncertain times?  Let's look at a few ideas.

1)  You are not alone!  Call it Spirit, God, Universal Force, Love, Mystery, Life Force, or Angels.  We need to remind ourselves that we are not alone in any struggle, fear or circumstance.  That something greater than ourselves is as near as our next breath.  We are divinely protected and surrounded.  Our circumstances change, but this abiding force is constant.
 
2)  We don't have all the answers.  We don't need to have all the answers.   In the midst of trouble, it's hard to see what will be the results.  Fortunately, as we look back at the changes in our life, many have moved us forward, made us stronger and even turned out better than we hoped for.
 
3)  Surrender to what is.  A great deal of our stress comes when our expectations of what should be isn't met by what is.  We can come into acceptance of what is and even enjoy what is now.  We can do this while holding a vision of a more fulfilling future.
 
4)  Believe that things will be better.  In the midst of difficult circumstances, know that this is a season...and as with all seasons it will change.  Keep believing that a difficult time is a passing thing.  Keep your expectations on what you do want in your life. 
 
5)  Stay connected to others.  Social isolation simply isn't good for us.  Sometimes when things are difficult, we withdraw due to depression or embarrassment.  Now is the time to reach out and connect with others.  We gain energy from connecting, laughing and being playful.
