Do you remember what it was like when you were a young child? You would get together with your friends and you would play a game called, "Let's pretend."

From cowboys to astronauts, from movie stars to models, it was a game of infinite possibilities, - and the best thing of all was that your friends all joined in. Your friends supported and encouraged your role, and you were fully expected to return the favor.

Now you are an adult, and you may feel you have too many responsibilities to allow yourself to play "Let's Pretend" but I am here to tell you that if you want to change your life for the better, you will have to adopt your imagination as your best friend.

Yes, disciplined imagination, - the art of visualizing what you want, and refusing to acknowledge the existence of what you do not want, three times a day for about five minutes will do more to set you on the high road to the fulfillment of your goals than any other action you will ever take.

If you feel you are overweight and would like to change that, pretend you are at the weight you consider ideal for yourself. What size clothes would you wear? What styles would suit your new figure? Imagine yourself walking into the store and asking the sales clerk for clothes of your choice in that size. In your mind, try them on. See yourself in front of the mirror, feel the pleasure you will experience as you notice the looks of admiration on the faces of others.

Do you want a new job or a promotion? You would probably get the news about this by telephone, right? Sit down, clear your mind of everything else, and lose yourself in this wonderful, imagined phone call. Let yourself feel how wonderful it would be to get this news. If you think there would be questions, imagine yourself answering every question perfectly and without hesitation. Hear the confirmation that you are to have what you want, even to the date and time you are to start this new job or promotion. Especially imagine the looks on the faces of those you know when you get off the phone to tell them the great news.

Do you want more money? What is the very first thing you would do once you had full access to it? Stock the fridge? Stock the bar? Then do it in your mind. Fill in every little detail with as much joy and care as you can possibly muster. Do not just see it, feel it. Suffuse it with as much emotion as you possibly can.

Do not allow yourself to stress out over this, or to ask, "Am I doing this the right way?" There will be a feel to it that is individual, and you will know.

This is one of the most condensed methods you will ever find of the, "Ask, Believe, Receive" techniques needed to invoke the Law of Attraction to do your bidding.

Disciplined imagination is a basic part of the Law of Sacrifice, which is one of the 11 forgotten laws that you need to follow to successfully attract what you want in your life.
