A big part of using the Law of Attraction to your advantage is having positive intentions. Often we forget to put them out. A really good way to have a really good day is to get into the habit of setting intentions first thing in the morning. You don\u2019t have to be specific if you\u2019re not sure what you need or will get done. An intention to be on a positive path for the day that sets the tone for it. For example:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI intend to feel great today!\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI will have a very productive day.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI will encounter only good people today.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cMy day will be very positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Think about what you want to do or how you want to feel and express it as an intention. You can use the same thing more than once, or every day, as long as you don\u2019t get into a rut of saying it by rote instead of declaring it as an intention with feelings. That\u2019s another big key. When you set your intentions, do so with enthusiasm. Say it aloud. I sometimes scream it out with excitement if no one is here. Whatever works for you to put a strong positive emotion behind the intention will help make it happen.<\/p>\n

The Universe will pick up on your intentions so the Law of Attraction can get behind them. It helps you have a much better day than you might have.<\/p>\n

I often add fuel to setting my intentions by expressing what I\u2019m grateful for. Gratitude always helps attract good stuff. When I open my blinds I give thanks for the sun or my view or something I\u2019m happy about and for my good health. That keeps those blessings coming! Once you get into the habit of setting an intention right after you get up, it becomes a habit that helps attract good stuff. And it doesn\u2019t have to take more than a minute to just state a positive expectation for the day.<\/p>\n

Then let the Law of Attraction help you live in a more positive world!<\/p>\n

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 & 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\/2858","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=2858"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2947,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2858\/revisions\/2947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
