\"Thumbnail<\/a><\/span>This is post 106 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to attract all that you need. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

Writing down your intentions makes them more concrete. Doing writing exercises helps you think more clearly about what you want and can help keep you focused. Therefore, as part of this series, I will occasionally have a writing exercise that you can use to help the Law of Attraction work with you to manifest the goodies you want.<\/p>\n

I’ll start off with something you can do every day–a desire list. <\/b><\/p>\n

On the top of a paper, write “I Intend to Have” and under it list everything you’d like to receive. Your list can be as long as you like. Don’t be stingy with your desires! They can be short term ones, like having perfect weather for your barbecue this weekend, and longer ones, like finding the right romantic partner. There is no limit on what you can manifest. I live in OINK mode now–the sky is the limit for what I want and expect to get in every area of my life. The more you love yourself, the longer your list will be. <\/p>\n

The more you attract to you, the stronger your self- love will be.<\/b><\/p>\n

EVERY night before you go to sleep, read your list out loud, with as much excited feelings that you can muster. Say thank you for receiving them at the perfect time. When one comes to pass, put a check in front of it. Add more as you think of them. Nothing is too small or too big. If you want it, write it down! Continue to read it aloud every night and give thanks for each coming when the time is right. <\/p>\n

Patience is crucial in manifesting! This is no magic quick fix for getting what you want.<\/b><\/p>\n

The time may not be right for a while. You might not be ready for what you desire. The important part is keeping the faith by reading, “I Intend to Have” [each thing on your list] every night. If you have time, read it in the morning too. Remember to feel the words so you send a vibration that shows you’re excited to receive and expect to.<\/p>\n

As your list gets longer and you check things off, make a new one to keep it up-to-date. You can create a new one once a week, month or whenever it suits you. Take pleasure in checking one off, no matter how small it is. Writing your desires down and putting attention on them every day keeps reminding the Universe that you’re expecting them. The Law of Attraction responds to your expectations. So begin your list tonight! <\/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\/425","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=425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
