So let’s learn some more secrets to how we can get what we want.

When we take the quantum physics path to creating our own reality, manifesting our desires is all about creating an energy state based on positive emotion then marinating that desire in a bath of the positive energy we have created.

Think about it. We have all had the experience of desiring something and being completely confident that we will get what we want. In these situations where we generate a feeling or vibration of well-being and positivity, we usually materialize our desires. Scientists would say it is because we are in vibrational alignment, or as we mere mortals would say, in sync with ourselves. Basically, we attract what we put out.

Unfortunately, when many of us set goals, we have a desire for something but don’t back it up with the necessary artillery to bring it into reality. For example, we don’t always include a ‘when, how or who’ component to our desire and don’t spend the time connecting in to how we will feel when we achieve the goal and marinating the goal in that feeling. Many of us make somewhat flippant and repetitive goals, like wanting to lose weight, without ever believing we will achieve it. This means we have a vibrational misalignment between the desire and the expectation. We entertain goals but feel very unsure about our capacity to successfully attain these goals. There is clearly discord between what we want and whether we think we will get what we want. No wonder we don’t get what we want. We don’t treat our goal setting seriously enough.

To manifest a goal we cannot afford to doubt attaining it or it will create discord. We need to create vibrational alignment by believing we will get what we wish for and by purposely and consciously staying in the zone of feeling the emotions we will experience when we get what we want.

Obviously being a ‘deliberate creator’ is harder to do, and the difficulty we have doing it seems to be proportional to the time we have spent on the planet! While we may have been born perfect it doesn’t take long to learn bad habits and basically become victims of life on earth. Think about it. Not long after hitting the planet we are taught to worry about what others think, to ‘not be too big for our boots’, to not expect too much, to worry. We establish chronic patterns of thoughts that become enduring beliefs that limit us and effect our vibration. Most of us while secretly hoping that good things will come to us, often deep down don’t believe that we deserve, or if we do, we don’t believe we deserve EVERYTHING we want. I notice particularly in the weight loss area that everyone wants to lose weight, but few people genuinely believe they can do it, and this is reflected in the failure rate of weight loss programs.

Our society teaches us very quickly about the contrasts or duality of life. Examples include: good and bad, sick and healthy, happy and sad, rich and poor, fat and thin, success and failure. Desires are spawned when we see the discrepancy between where we are now and where we want to be. This discrepancy between desired and actual provides blinding evidence that we are not getting what we want, whether it be related to a relationship, a slimmer body, a happier life, a better job, a nicer house.

Usually whenever life shows us what we don’t want there is an equivalent opposite desire for what we do want. For example, we don’t want to be fat, which means we want to be slim. We know we want money when we have none. We want health and well-being when we feel unwell.

The opposites or contrasts help us to focus on our desires. As soon as you wish for something you set up that vibrational reality. So, the rule is, be careful for what you wish for. Both negative and positive desires are recorded in the recesses of your subconscious. We become what we think! ‘Thoughts become things’ as the “Manifest Your Destiny” gurus say!

The manifestation maestros tell us that what we vibrate to, we manifest. And, this can be positive or negative. They warn us that if we beat the drum of not enough money, the inner self records that reality and we find ourselves with never having enough. We are blinded to the solution of abundance and stay stuck in ‘same stuff, different day’. And, what we don’t need to do is to attract, ‘same stuff, different decade’. We want to end the 2010 decade with a different attitude.

For every problem there is a solution. However, if we focus on the problem we tend to create more of the problem. For example, if we focus on how fat we are, and how much fat we have to lose, and how long it will take us and whether we can actually stick to a weight loss program we become overwhelmed and give up. Marinating in thoughts of how fat we are and how hard it is to lose the fat just keeps us problem focused and fat. Negative attracts negative.

On the brighter side, when we focus on the solution and how good we will feel when we have attained our ideal weight we find it easier to manifest that reality.

Essentially, we have a choice, focus on the problem and get more of it, or focus on the solution and successfully solve our dilemma. The facts are pretty simple, you can’t attract the solution when you are focused on the problem.

Homework:

Now you have read part 2, maintain your adherence to the activities set as homework in part 1 of this newsletter but focus on how good you will feel when you have attained your ideal weight and the life you want.

We all create our own reality, 100% of the time, without exception. Unfortunately, we often don’t go about creating our current reality ‘on purpose’, and more often than not, we don’t always get what we want. To be a powerful creator, we need to be ‘proactively on purpose’, or deliberate creators. We also need to be persistent. Giving up IS NOT AN OPTION.

And, who am I to preach this, you might ask.

I am a graduate of what I am about to share with you. I am also a psychologist and a dietitian.When I was in my mid-20s I struggled with both my weight and eating and had done for more than a decade.

Everything changed after I attended a class on Cognitive Psychology at university during my undergraduate psychology degree. I learned the tool that has subsequently made others millions but gave me the body I wanted for nothing other than my perseverance and persistence.

The information was simple; it was what I did with it that made the difference. The information was that research showed that if one rehearses something for three minutes it goes to long-term memory. I decided to apply this teaching to my beliefs about my weight and size. For three minutes twice a day, over a six-month period, in my own mind I would do a quick process to relax myself and then watch myself walk down a river bed, find a bed of clay and model myself from this clay into the body I wanted. I then watched, in my mind, as this slim, svelte clay model of me come to life, donned in a translucent piece of nothing. I then watched me, slim, trim, taut and terrific, traipse through the forest depicted in my mind, for three minutes. In my mind I oozed joy, lightness and well-being. Within a relatively short period I achieved that body I wanted, and more than two decades later I still look like that body, except for a few minor aberrations created by the aging process! I became a believer because I became what I saw, felt and connected with, I got.

Using your imagination works.

I manifested a part of my destiny.

The concept of “How to Manifest Your Destiny” has been a marketing opportunity that has evolved into a multi-million dollar industry. Go in to any bookshop and you will find a plethora of books, CDs, DVDs, card sets, and other industry-related merchandising associated with learning to create anything you want. Then go to your email inbox and very likely you will find special offers for seminars and workshops on the subject. A number of the manifestation marketing engines have become global sensations. For example, most people have at least heard of, or read, or seen ‘The Secret’ or been exposed to the Abraham wisdoms brought forward to the marketplace by Esther and Jerry Hicks. The popularity of these self-help phenomena gives testament to how keen we are to be masters of our own destiny and to have new improved versions of our lives. You are clearly reading this article because you want to know what the secret is to getting what you want!

Many of the enormously successful personal growth movements are built on research from quantum physics and movies such as “The Secret” and “What the Bleep” use science and scientists to deliver the core premise on which their message is delivered, and that is, we are vibrational beings living in a vibrational universe. These scientists confirm that everything impacts on how we vibrate be it our thoughts, our words, our emotions, our memories, our habits, our actions, who we choose to mix with, our surroundings and even our diet. According to quantum physics and the ‘how to manifest your destiny’ industry, how we vibrate affects what we attract. And, nearly everything affects our vibration!

Now, the word DietPsyche translated means ‘food for the psyche or soul’ and this “food” we take in encompasses everything we consume be it our thoughts and feelings or what we eat and drink. So not only do we need to WATCH what we put in our mouths, but what we put into our minds, and even our environments. Following is a great acronym for WATCH that reminds us what vibrational realities we need to be managing to get what we want.

WATCH your:

Words

Actions

Thoughts

Character

Heart (emotions)

The WATCH acronym is easy to write, easy to read, easy to remember but hard to do. No wonder we don’t get what we want. Being in sync with our thoughts, words and deeds, as well as our feelings and character is not an easy state to attain, particularly when we live such stressful lives. However, learning to WATCH what we take in is a goal worth pursuing as a personal growth step because not only is it more likely to get us what we want it forces us to ‘walk our talk’ 24/7 and live in integrity.

Between now and part 2 of this newsletter I suggest you practice the exercise I shared above as well as WATCH what you say, do, think, feel and how you present who you are.
