Doing writing exercises helps you think more clearly about what you want and can help keep you posted. Therefore, as part of this series, I have writing exercises that you can use to help the Law of Attraction work with you to manifest the goodies you want. I gave<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2010\/09\/law-of-attraction-in-action-writing-exercise-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Writing Exercise 1<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2010\/11\/law-of-attraction-in-action-writing-exercise-2.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Writing Exercise 2<\/strong><\/a> already. Today is the third tip.<\/p>\n<p>Today my suggestion is: Each night before going to bed, write down your goals for the next day.<\/p>\n<p>It might just be one thing. It might be a bunch. Writing these down gets you focused on what you want to accomplish each day. Whether it\u2019s what you need to get done at work, or a call to make or to exercise or to keep your willpower strong for not eating sugar or whatever else you\u2019d like to do the next day, write it down. Read your goals for the next day a few times and then again in the morning while affirming your intention to achieve it.<\/p>\n<p>Saying your goals out loud sets them as intentions, instead of just things you want to do.<\/p>\n<p>The Law of Attraction will give you support in making them happen. As you sleep, they\u2019ll be in your subconscious, which begins the process of sorting things out and preparing to do what\u2019s needed. You might dream about something you wrote down. In a variety of ways, your subconscious helps work out the details of what\u2019s necessary for you to get what you want done.<\/p>\n<p>See all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>*********************<\/p>\n<p>Take the <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-pledge\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>self-love challenge<\/strong><\/a> and get my book, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-book\" target=\"_blank\">How Do I Love Me?

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2247"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2249,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2247\/revisions\/2249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
