Problem: Article: Sit somewhere quiet and form a mental image of yourself holding the object in your arms. If your desire isn't an object but rather a state of being (for example, being healthy and fit) imagine yourself in that state. Make as complete a picture as possible. What does it look like? How does it feel? How does it make you feel? What do you do with it? This is a process called visualization and will be useful in other steps as well. For example, if you were trying to get promoted at work, you would want to think about what your life would be like with the promotion. Think about how you would get to work every day and what office you would go to. What work would you be doing? Who would be working under you, and what kinds of tasks would you give them? Think of creative ways to remind yourself of your goals so that you can visualize your success throughout your day. However, don't let it become a chore! You don't want any negative emotions associated with your visualization. If you need to, take a break from visualizing and clear your mind. Create a vision board. Cut out pictures from magazines or create your own images and documents to glue onto a piece of cardboard or cardstock. Place the vision board somewhere where you'll see it every day to help you positively visualize what you want more often. For example, you could create an "acceptance letter" for the promotion you wanted and pin it on your board. Write a short letter to the universe thanking it for giving you what you want. For example, write "I am grateful that you helped me get a promotion at work." This can help you feel as if you already have what you want. If you're disappointed in yourself in some way that has to do with what you desire, don't continue to visualize it. Think instead about all of the positive emotions you have towards what you want. For example, if you didn't get a promotion the last time you thought you might, instead of thinking of the situation as a failure think of it as an opportunity to get a better promotion down the road.
Summary: Feel the joy of having the object as if you already had it. Take some time to think on what you desire. Don't dwell on any negative emotions.
