What would you like to be different in your life?
Do you want more money, better health, a satisfying job, a loving partner? What is the subject of your desire?
The first step to attracting an outcome is to get clear about what it is you want. You can't use affirmations that contradict the desires of your heart if you don't know what they are. When I work with clients I ask them to hold their desires in their heart and then state out loud what they'd like for themselves with as much detail as possible so that the Universe can 'hear' and grant their request.
How you hold your desire in your heart and declare it to the Universe is what provides the energy for aspects of your life to change.
For example, if you have a desire for more money, you can either say the word money out loud or add specific details about money into your statement. For example: I want more money now . . .
I want more than enough money so that I'm not worried about finances every day of my life. Or perhaps: I want financial freedom so that I have time to pursue my passions and do what makes me happy in my life.
The more details that you add, the more specific the energy is for receiving your request. You don't have to go overboard, just a few details can create the energy to attract results.
When I'm in a place of desire for something, I like to say the statement out loud twice a day, once when I wake up and once before bed. I also like to feel my heart's desire and mentally hold it in my heart as I take three deep breaths and then let it go. If my mind begins to wander then I repeat the statement out loud again until my mind stops drifting and is focused on receiving my desire.
The Universe hears your statements, whether said out loud or in your heart, and the Universe responds by giving you what you've asked for when it's the perfect time.
You can state your desires out loud to yourself or add them into an affirmation. Or you can say them as if they're already a reality. If money is a subject of your desire, then every day state that you have more money than what you need so that you never want for anything.
I get questions about stating things as if they're already a reality and whether this could possibly jinx something or bring about unwanted results. I don't worry about the Universe hearing my affirmations because I know that there's no such thing as 'junk' or 'negative energy' in the Universe and that everything is always working together for my highest good. Whether you're speaking the statement out loud or saying it silently in your head, it creates energy and attracts outcomes to those words.
Some of my clients state their desires out loud, some say them in their heads, and some write them down. If you'd rather practice writing or speaking your desires down than saying them out loud, then either way the important thing is to clarify what you want in your life and then state it out loud.
When I was considering an acting career I didn't know where to start. I asked my friend Ria to help me clear the next steps in my journey and one of the things she said to me was:
"When you want something, let it out, let yourself feel it and let it all go. The Universe will give you what's meant for you."
Once I did this, my acting career started unfolding before me throughout the year.
