How to Leverage the Law of Attraction and Create the Life You Really Want

What steps can you take to consciously use the Law of Attraction in your life? There are many books on the topic and even a couple of hit movies. To save you time and money I've gathered my resources and put together the steps you can use immediately to consciously leverage the Law of Attraction in your own life.

These steps are easy and you've probably heard them before, but don't let their simplicity fool you – they pack a powerful punch. The purpose behind all of these steps is that by taking them you put yourself in the "right" energy to attract what you want. If you don't take these steps you will still attract things to you, however you may not attract what you really want to attract.

Remember, Like Attracts Like. You attract what you focus on. These steps will help you focus on what you do want, rather than what you don't want. By using these steps you will be able to consciously create the life you want.

1. If you haven't already, Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life and What You Create in It

Only when you take full responsibility for your life can you create what you want. Only then will you be able to fully choose your life experiences. Only then will you stop being and seeing yourself as a victim of your circumstances.

Your life will change for the better as soon as you take 100% responsibility for your life and what you create in it. You'll feel more in control. Your life will feel richer. Not only that, taking responsibility for your life sends a big message to the Universe that says "Here I am! I'm ready to live and this is what I want!"

2. Gain clarity about what you really want and then ASK for it.

To get what you want you have to be clear about what you want and then you have to ASK for it. Ask who? The Universe.

If this sounds a little hokey, remember, we are creators at our core. We are always creating, whether we are aware of it or not. We create through the thoughts that we think and the feelings that we feel. Therefore, if we are always creating, why not create what we want consciously?

The Universal Law of Attraction tells us Like Attracts Like. You attract what you think about and feel the most. The Universe brings to you what you focus on.

To create the life you want you must consciously focus your attention on what you want and then hold your attention on it.

3. BELIEVE you will get what you want. You don't need to know HOW you're going to get what you want; you just have to believe you will get it.

Don't let yourself get stuck in the HOW. Worrying about HOW you're going to accomplish something will bury your best intentions under worry, over-planning and fear.

Joe Vitale says in his book, The Attractor Factor, stay open to what your gut's telling you and then take action on what it's telling you. This kind of action is called "inspired action".

Inspired action comes from your gut. It's your intuition talking to you. If you don't take action when the inspiration strikes the emotion will soon pass, unless you apply your passion to some sort of activity.

Inspired action feels good. Inspired action comes from the core of who you are. It is not something you "should" do, but rather it is something you can do to get you closer to your goals.

Action will fuel you and your dream. You can figure out the steps as you move forward. In other words, you don't have to have all the steps figured out in order to take action. You just have to start. The rest will fall into place.

4. Don't let your fears and doubts sideline you.

Have you had this experience: you set a goal for yourself, begin taking action to achieve it and then suddenly get stuck in fear, worry and doubt? What do you do when that happens?

Unfortunately for a lot of us we do one thing – we quit. We let our fear get the best of us and we bail. And when we bail we beat ourselves up, feel terrible and stay exactly where we don't want to be.

What's the solution? It's common to be faced with worry, fear and doubts on the way to your dream. It happens to everyone! One of the best ways to stay on track is to surround yourself with a support system, such as a mastermind group, coach, and/or supportive friends and family.

By doing so you create an environment that supports you and your dream. Even if the going gets tough, your support system will encourage you to keep going.

5. Be open to RECEIVING what you want.

Receiving what you want isn't so much an act of DOING as it is an act of BEING.

Has this ever happened to you; you want something – like a brand new car. Every time you think of having a brand new car two things happen; part of you feels good and part of you feels like getting a brand new car is impossible. Which feeling do you think wins out? The one you feel the most and with the most intensity.

"Receiving" what you want is more than just getting the physical thing that you want; it's also putting yourself in "receiving energy". How do you do that? You feel how good it is going to feel to get that new car that you want (or job, or lover, or…) and you hold on to that feel good feeling. You imagine how good it's going to feel to get what you want AS IF you've already received it.

There are two ways you can do this:

1) Write out an affirmation that states "I am so happy and grateful now that I'm driving my brand new 2007 Lexus…." As you write it out FEEL how good it will feel to drive your brand new Lexus.

2) Use your imagination and put yourself in the feeling place of already having what you want. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine yourself behind the wheel of your brand new car. Go for a test drive right in your own living room! Enjoy it.

Putting yourself in the feel good place of having received what you want puts you in the "right" energy to attract what you want. Why? Like Attracts Like. When you feel as though you have it, and you love every minute of having it, you're putting lots of "I love having this" energy out into the Universe. The Universe can only do one thing – send it your way.

6. Create daily rituals.

Do the previous steps feel like a lot to swallow? I know at first they can be but over time leveraging the Law of Attraction in your life will become second nature. You can speed up that process by creating rituals.

Rituals, or meaningful and consistent routines, are actions you take for the sake of keeping you on track and focused on the big picture you have for your life.

What are some rituals that would be fun and keep you on track? Here's a list of mine:

**I created a vision board of what I want to BE, what I want to DO and what I want to HAVE this year. Everyday I look at the board I created and imagine the board represents my reality right now. I put myself in the feeling place of BEING who I want to be, DOING what I want to do, and HAVING what I want to have, AS IF it is all happening right now.

**Each morning I start the day by focusing on what I am grateful for in my life. Being grateful for what is NOW opens you up for more good things to come your way. It's as if you're sending the Universe a message that says you appreciate all that you've been given and all that you are about to receive.

**Each night before I go to sleep I say a prayer and send a big THANK YOU to the Universe for the gifts it brought that day.

Taking these steps will help you become a conscious creator of your life. As you take these steps, don't worry about whether or not you're doing these steps "perfectly". Just do them. As you do more and learn more, leveraging the Law of Attraction in your life will become easier and easier. Have FUN with this process. ENJOY your life. Be GRATEFUL for the moment. FOCUS your attention on the now and act as if everything you want is already on its way to you. It is! BELIEVE it!
