1. Not fully trusting in the Law of Attraction

   The first mistake that people make is not fully trusting in the law of attraction. Society puts a lot of doubts into your mind and it can be very hard to believe that you can basically order what you want. Even if you have the best intentions to try this out you can really mess up your results by not fully believing. In order to get over this hump you need to think about what you have to lose. There are millions of people all over the world who successfully manifest what they want in life. All you need to do is take a chance and turn off your doubts.

2. Don’t visualize in the right way

   Another mistake that people make is when they don’t visualize in the right way. It can be frustrating to think about what’s “right” and “wrong” at first, but there are some quick fixes that will help you out. Part of the problem is not going into enough detail. You may tentatively start to visualize your desires in your mind, but when you’re vague to the universe you won’t get anything in return. Instead of just visualizing that you’d like a house, you need to walk through the house, smell it, feel the excitement and emotions you have about owning it, and really get the experience down. Once you do that you’ll be putting in the right kind of order to the universe.

3. Losing focus

   Something else that people get wrong is losing focus. If you think too long and hard about what you should and should not be doing to succeed with the law of attraction you’ll be in for a disappointing lack of results. You have to trust in your goals and focus yourself. Don’t get distracted by outside noise that says this doesn’t work!

Since you know what doesn’t work when you’re visualizing you should know how to visualize in the right way. The first thing you need to do is make a list of the things you want out of life. It doesn’t matter how big or how silly it seems to you now, as long as you’re able to focus and truly believe, you can have it for yourself.

Once you’ve figured out what you want you need to get away from the noise of the rest of world. Close your eyes and paint a very clear and detailed picture in your mind. See yourself getting exactly what you want just like with the new house example. As long as you feel the emotions and truly implant in your mind that you have exactly what you want you will have success.

Learning how to visualize can be intimidating but it will help to create a lot of success for you. Many people make mistakes along the way but you can learn to avoid them by following these different principles.

How to visualize.

You see, there are certain steps that you need to take in order to manifest the things you want in your life. If you miss these you’re a lot less likely to see the kind of success you want to see.

The first important thing that a lot of people miss is to write your desires down. A lot of people think that in order to visualize you have to do everything in your head. While a lot of these techniques are focused on your mind, you have to realize the powerful connection the pen and paper has with making things sink in for you.

Writing things down will also make things seem a lot more clear for you. It can be hard to sift through your thoughts when they are just swarming around your brain. Taking the time to write your goals down will give them the clarity you need to make them happen.

Another thing you can do to make sure you’re visualizing successfully is to talk to someone about it. This can be a friend or family member. Who it is is not important, it’s just important that you do it. You have to give your goals power. When you tell someone else about them that adds to the power.

A lot of this is mindset. If you have the mindset that you’ll never succeed at getting what you want, you won’t! It’s really as simple as that. When you write things down or tell someone about them you will actually get exactly what you want because you will be forcing yourself to believe in them.

Above all, do not let negativity creep into your life. This is easy enough to say but it is very difficult to implement. There are probably negative people all around you. In fact, some people thrive on negativity. It’s very important for you to make sure that you focus on the positive. The law of attraction 101 is that negative things will manifest if you are negative and positive things will manifest if you are positive.

If you want to be successful with The Secret and learn how to visualize you need to put these things into practice. If you don’t you’ll be missing out on some important steps that can help to guarantee your success.

How to visualize.

The law of attraction has to do with your thoughts and emotions and what they bring into your life. The thought is that if you are constantly being negative you will only attract negative things. If you start to think positively and have strong, happy emotions about the things you want you’ll attract those instead.

This all sounds wonderful, but many people will find it hard to switch their thoughts from negative to happy. Most don’t even realize it when they’re being negative! It’s best to start out slowly by learning how to visualize. Soon enough you’ll have trained your brain to think about things in a better way. It will start a chain reaction of great things happening in your life that you never thought were possible.

The first thing you need to do is get it set in your mind what you do not want. You need to do this exercise so that those negative thoughts do not start to creep in your mind. When you know what you do not want you can cast those things aside and only attract positive and desired things.

Next is the fun part! Make a list of the things you want in your life for the future. Put these things the order that they are important to you. Of course, you’ll want to focus on the ones that are the most important of all. You need to learn how to visualize to get these things to happen in your life.

When you make this list and start to visualize yourself experiencing these great life changes it’s like putting in your “order” to the universe. Since you are training your brain to only want these things and to think positively you’ll receive these positive desires and negative things will stop happening to you.
Once you put these things into action you’ll be like a magnet. The things you want will come to you because you will have harnessed the power of attraction. There is nothing like the feeling of knowing that you can and will get anything you want.

It takes a special person to follow through with these laws. But you should know that you are a special person who has the power to achieve great things. All that is standing in your way is negative thinking. When you think positively the law of attraction will kick in and you’ll be able to receive anything you want out of life.

How to visualize.

So how to visualize?

It’s actually a lot easier than you think. The chances are good that you see images in your mind all the time. Reading a novel and talking to someone as they tell you a story are both things that provoke visualization.

Even though you visualize all the time in the background, you need to turn this skill into something you can use to get exactly what you want. You can’t just skim the surface and expect to get results, you have to go deep into a stage of visualization and really start to own it.

Painting a picture in your mind means blocking everything else out. You can’t have any distractions at all. Do you have the problem many people have where all you can think about is some kind of impending doom? Maybe you’re in debt or you are nervous about a public speaking event coming up. You probably don’t have any problems visualizing those at the time because your emotions are involved. Instead of emotionally involving yourself in the negative aspects of your life you should emotionally involve yourself in the positive things you’re trying to attract. Many people think that they can just say or think, “I want that” and expect it to happen. If you don’t focus your vision and harness that emotional energy you’ll have a hard time getting the things you desire out of life.

Start out by creating a vivid picture in your mind of you already having achieved your goals. Really make yourself feel the emotions as if they were happening right then. Since you’re creating a state of utter happiness and you’ve “already” reached your goal your brain will start to force itself to create that path.

Many people will make the mistake of not being specific enough. You really have to get very detailed with what you visualize. Do you want a new car? See every single nook and cranny of that car in your mind. Feel the fabric, smell the fresh interior, feel the rubber of the tires. Hear the sound of the engine as you turn the key.

You have to focus on visualization and repeat the process at least once a day for a full ten minutes. It is recommended that you do it more often! The more frequently you use the power of visualization the more the ideas will sink into your mind and manifest.

Learning how to visualize is not hard, but it does take discipline. Make this the first day of the rest of your life as you use the power of visualization to really make your dreams come true.

You may be wonder why did I decide to do this? There are several reasons but this is the most fundamental reasons:

Passion

One of my passion is parenting and baby development. Having been a new father (my son is still 16-month old so I consider myself as a new father) I have little experience and education about parenting and baby development. In fact I’m still amazed why parenting is not taught in school, in university or college. In short there’s no formal education about parenting so my wife and I learn a lot from parenting experts such as Ernest Wong, Glenn Doman, and Tony Buzan, to name a few.

Therefore since there’s no formal education about parenting, I want to share what I’ve learned, because I believe parenting is very important and it’s a task that’s given by God to us as parents.

New theme

You also must have noticed the new appearance of this blog Yes, I changed its theme to symbolize its new direction in Harmony in Your Family.

Lastly I’d like to thank my friend, James Soh, who advised me to do something that I have passion in.

So moms and dads, please share your wise experience and knowledge so that we all can learn parenting from each other and be great parents for our children!

In the yesterday’s example, where you felt discomfort, you visualized the wrong way. You visualized something that you don’t want to happen. It’s very wrong to visualize the things that you don’t want.

You must visualize the correct way. You must visualize all the things you want. You must enjoy yourself in your visualized world and put yourself into a good state of emotion. You will attract your goals and dreams if you visualize the correct way.

Almost everyone wants wealth and prosperity. I myself also want wealth and prosperity. Do you?

If you do, there’s an easy way to visualize wealth and prosperity. Simply visualize yourself receive a million dollar check! Visualize what you can invest and spend with that one million dollar.

“I can’t visualize…” they cry desperately. “I just can’t see or imagine things…”

I understand. I was like that too. I just didn’t understand what visualization is all about. The truth is, everyone can visualize. You want the proof?

Has your spouse, your parents, or your child ever come late? And you just couldn’t contact them at that time? Were you worried? Felt a bit tense? Sweat a little?

If you felt any of those anxieties then, my friend, you visualized at that time. You can visualize!

“No, I don’t believe it!” They argued. “I just felt a bit discomfort that time.”

Well, don’t you feel discomfort because you imagined something bad happen to your spouse, parents or child who came late and couldn’t be contacted? Isn’t imagination the same as visualization?

You just didn’t realize that you visualized

Still not convinced that you can visualize?

Let’s do this simple visualization exercise then.

Close your eyes. Now think about a big yellow lemon. You take it out from your fridge. It feels cold. Peel the lemon. Hmm… Its juice squirts on your hand. Taste the peeled lemon with your tongue. What does it taste? Yuck, very sour.

Do you feel your saliva in your mouth? It tastes sour? How come? It’s only in your imagination. You don’t even actually taste it.

That’s, my friend, the power of visualization! And you just did one of visualization techniques, internalizing. It means seeing images in your mind’s eye.

If you watched The Secret, you must have known that Jack Canfield also visualized this way. He put the “check” on the ceiling above his bed where he could see the check every day and reminded him of his goal.

And yes, you can do much better using this visualization tool
