How to Get What You Want When You Don't Know What That IsIn Law of Attraction, you focus on what you want in order to attract more of it into your life.But what if you have no idea what you want?How do you begin to sift through the endless possibilities to create a life that is satisfying and joyous to the unique person you are? Fortunately, life provides clues that, if paid attention to can help you develop a road map to get you on the path tohappily ever after. One such clue can be found inlooking at what you don't want. Not in an abstract sense such asI don't like my job, orI hate my boss, but rather in a very specific sense. Take your job for example. Ok so you hate it. Lots of people claim they do. But if you really sit down and look at it, can you honestly say you hate every single aspect of the work you do? Are you in a state of utter misery from the moment you leave for work until the moment you head home? Probably not. For the majority of people, there are things they like and don't like about their work, and if there's more stuff in thedon't likecolumn well....they hate their job. I HATE MY JOB BECAUSE... Have you ever really thought about what exactly about your job makes you miserable? Or your relationships, health, location, etc.? By uncovering specific elements of what you don't like about your life, you can get a much clearer picture of what needs improving. Here's an exercise that will help you get clarity around this. We're going to use the example of work, but you can really apply it to any aspect of your life you're not happy with. For the next week or so ask yourself these questions. Don't try to answer them instantly but really ponder them to get a feel for exactly what's bugging you about the situation you're in.
Once you have this list you'll have a much better understanding about what you don't like, which you can then use to figure out what you want. To do this simply take your list and for each thing on it ask yourself, "What do I want instead." So if you hate your work schedule for instance you might write that you want flexibility or different hours or something like that. Finally, use your updated list to create a picture of what you want. Now all you have to do is ask the Universe for it :) |
