A book named "The Secret" became a phenomenon by teaching the world about an already existing "law" of the Universe, the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction says that "energy flows where attention goes." Basically, what we think about we get. Therefore, exercising our minds, watching our thoughts and visualizing what we want will bring us what we desire.
Meditation and other Mind Games
Every great teacher of the Law of Attraction will tell you that daily meditation is key to quieting and controlling your mind. The Law of Attraction is all about watching your thoughts and making sure to eliminate bad habits. It is also about having a strong mind to direct your thoughts and bring about the goals you desire. Spend even five minutes a day seated in a quiet place to meditate. You can try to focus on your breath, just paying attention as you breathe in and out. You may also try counting: count one as you breathe in and then one as you breathe out. Or start with inhaling for one second, exhaling for one, then inhaling for two and exhaling for two, and so on up to 10. There are many techniques to help you prepare for meditation. Find one that works for you and practise it daily. Meditating at the same time every day can be helpful as well.
Another way to strengthen your mental powers is to play the Memory.game. You may have played this game as a child. There will be cards face down and your job is to turn them over one at a time to find pairs. There is a free online version of this game on the Secret's website at www.thesecret.tv.
Visualization
Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is the preview of life's coming attractions." How we imagine our lives to be will affect what is attracted to us. Spending a few minutes daily "seeing" ourselves and our lives the way we want them to be will help make that a reality. Designate a time every day to let your imagination roam to all that you desire. See yourself driving the car you want or living in the house you desire. You can also imagine yourself wearing a piece of jewelry you covet or living in a place you want to move to. You can even use this trick to get good parking spots by taking a moment before you drive somewhere to imagine yourself pulling into a spot close to where you are headed.
Gratitude
Practising being thankful for what you have will bring more of it to you. Write in a journal daily what you are thankful for, and even write future things you will be grateful for when you receive them.
Another good gratitude exercise is to make a list of the things you appreciate about your partner to help your relationship.
Also, every morning as soon as you get up say "thank you" and take a moment to be grateful for all the wonderful things you will receive.
