\"\"<\/a>This is post 213 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to manifest your desires.. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong><\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

Often when I ask people what they want they use broad strokes to express it. They do know what they\u2019d like but for whatever reason don\u2019t go into details. A common desire is for \u201cMore money.\u201d Me too! But, what does that mean to the Universe? After all, if you find a penny you now have more money. If the Law of Attraction gets you two dollars more it\u2019s done its job, unless you\u2019re more specific about how much more money you want.<\/p>\n

This is very important to understand. The Law of Attraction doesn’t read your mind in the way you\u2019d like. It actually does read your mind in the sense that if you think you want more money, it doesn\u2019t figure out that means $100,000 more. More can be anything from a penny up, unless you spell it out, or at least give some details so you really target what you want to manifest.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself \u201cWhat\u2019s calling me?\u201d Pinpoint what calls you to your desire. What is it that you really want? Flesh it out so you have the best chance of getting it the way you want. For example:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You want to be in a relationship<\/strong>.\u00a0 Romantic? You can have a relationship in many ways. What kind of person do you want it to be. Write down the most important qualities you desire–every little detail you’d like. Focus on it.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You want a better job<\/strong>. What kind of company do you want to work for? What would you like to do? What kind of people would you like to work with? Is there a preferable location for the job? Write down the job description you\u2019d ideally like to fit.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You want to feel good<\/strong>. How? Has your digestion been bothering you or has sleep been a problem? Is stress the real issue? Write down how you\u2019d like to feel\u2014pain free, rested, relaxed, energetic, or anything that\u2019s specific to your desire.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You want to get your book published, or a record deal or to have your film treatment picked up, etc<\/strong>. How? Where? With a large or smaller independent company? Do you care about the money part? Do you want it to be a success. Of course you probably want all the good stuff but the Universe doesn\u2019t know that. It only knows what you think and say. So say it!<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0You want to find the perfect place to live<\/strong>. What\u2019s perfect about it? Do you need a specific location, how many rooms, etc.? Figure out exactly what\u2019s most important to you and put the details on paper.<\/p>\n

Write down how you\u2019d like your desire to be in a perfect world. Describe it in as many details as possible. Let the details paint a picture of exactly what you want so the Law of Attraction is clear about it. Then you won\u2019t get something that fits what you said but isn\u2019t what you want. Go for big bucks instead of a penny when you say you want more money. Go for the kind of health that you don\u2019t have right now instead of softer skin when you day you want to feel good. Clarity brings your desires to fruition!<\/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\/3656","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=3656"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3672,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3656\/revisions\/3672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
