Using your creative mind

An email request for help: "I have read books about asking, believing and visualizing. I’m continuously doing that. but sometimes I cant help doubting when go back to reality again. I’ve been looking for a job for 4 months now and Im still struggling. I tried following the the law of attraction but I think its not working on me. Help, I dont know where to start. Can we really control ourselves? Can we, through our thoughts, we can make things possible. All I want for now is to get a job. "

I have found that when people say that the Law of Attraction isn't working for them, its because they are spending more focus on what is NOT happening, or what they fear, rather than what they DO desire.

This is a normal habit until a new habit is created.

If you focus on what you want once a day, and then 20 times a day you focus on your fears, then what is getting the most attention will continue to be there for you.

Over the years, with my own life changing events and working with clients I have used Simple Key tools that help to clarify and re-focus.

Perhaps this Simple Key will assist you as well.

First - Write specifically WHAT you want. You must be specific.

You say you need to get a job. By focusing on “need”, you are focusing on fear. When you focus on fear, most people will settle for less than the best, or less than they deserve to have.

Start writing down what you desire in your perfect job:
How many days a week;
how many hours a day;
how far away from home;
what type of characteristics does your boss have (only good ones);
what are your duties (the ones you really enjoy);
how do you desire to feel everyday on your way to work;
how do you desire to feel every day on your way home from work;
what are the characteristics of your co-workers,
and everything about your perfect job as you desire it to be.

If you feel overwhelmed, then sit quiet for a moment and daydream. Place yourself in your daydream, three years down the road. Going this far down the road assists you in removing yourself from your fearful energy of today. See yourself as happy and fulfilled, living where you love, and working at your perfect job doing what you love. Suddenly you meet a friend you haven't seen in years, and she is excited about your life. She asks how you got this perfect job, and you tell her.

Because you are daydreaming, your logical mind (your fears and doubts) most likely will not kick in just yet. Your creative mind will answer. Whatever is the first thing you tell your friend is your answer, coming from your inner consciousness.

Once you have that - open your eyes and write down on your list what you told your friend in your daydream. Re-feel your joy from your daydream as you do this.

If the joy starts to creep away, your creative mind is being taken over by your fear, and STOP. Go outside and take a walk, exercise or something else physical and then come back and be quiet and with your list again.

Don't be concerned about exactly HOW it will happen. When you feel yourself getting fearful or doubtful again, read your list and revisit your daydream, re-feel the feelings of joy in your daydream.

When you do this you will find that your conscious mind, the time you spend in your reality, starts to notice new things, new opportunities; you start to hear things or read things you may have previously overlooked; your creative energy is in force.

I have a client who was broke and days from being evicted from her apartment. She used this tool and that afternoon when at the local market, she overheard a conversation where someone was looking for a housesitter for 6 months. She stepped into her courage, and approached the person. Within an hour she had a paying house sitting job and a new home for 6 months.

During that six months, she clarified what she really desired in her life, and using this and other Simple Key tools, she is now making more money than she ever had previously, and is living in a home at the beach.

As with any new habit, you may find this requires more effort at first, however, the more you use it the easier it becomes.

Others have what they desire in life - and you deserve yours as well.
