Jennifer exudes a positive and energetic vibe. There’s a spring in her step, and everything seems to fall into place effortlessly.

On the other hand, Kelly works long and hard hours but struggles to achieve her goals—and she feels miserable most of the time.

The difference lies in Jennifer’s ability to attract what she wants. It’s not about physical attractiveness but about living in alignment with her purpose and passions, allowing her to attract abundance.

The law of attraction is not just a mystical theory—it’s a transformative force scientifically grounded in the concept that similar things attract each other. It’s like tuning in to a specific radio station and only picking up signals on that frequency. Everything seems to flow effortlessly when we are in tune with our desires.

Vitale is one of dozens of authors who persuasively discuss attraction, as is Sonia Choquette, author of the 2008 bestseller Your Heart’s Desire: Creating the Life You Really Want.

Below are six critical ingredients for attracting what you want into your life:

1. Get clear on what you want and why. It’s not enough to know what you don’t want. You can’t get what you want until you know what that is. Getting crystal clear is where the “magic” of attraction all begins.

2. Imagine it. Visualization is a powerful tool for creating clear, vivid mental images of your desired outcomes. “Conscious change is brought about by the two qualities inherent in consciousness: attention and intention,” writes Deepak Chopra. “Attention energizes, and intention transforms. Whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life.”

3. Embrace positive affirmations. They are helpful and essential to overcoming limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns. My morning meditation incorporates the affirmation that I have abundant time and energy. It’s a transformational technique in my self-improvement journey.

4. Keep yourself receptive. It’s essential to exercise, eat healthily, play, relax—and practice yoga! Stress, exhaustion, and sluggishness can interfere with attraction. They are like “static” that disrupt the “frequencies” of what you want to attract. Taking a day off to relax instead of frantically working may seem challenging, but it can be just what’s needed. Remember, self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity in the journey of self-improvement.

5. Listen to your intuitive nudges. Attraction isn’t about sitting back and waiting for it all to come to you. Taking action is always required to meet goals and make dreams come true. Vitale writes: “Your job is to ask for what you want, and then to act on the inner nudges you get to do things, like make phone calls, write letters, visit a certain person, or whatever.” Don’t worry if your “nudges” don’t make immediate sense. The “why” will reveal itself later. 

6. Surrender control. Surrendering control doesn’t mean giving up on your goals. It means letting go of the specific ways your goals will manifest. It’s about releasing fear, doubt, worry, and disappointment. It’s about trusting that the universe has a plan for you and that the outcome will be just right, even if it’s not what you initially expected. 

Whether you’re seeking a job promotion, a special trip, or a new car, claim your dream.

It’s yours if you want it!

Believe in yourself and the power of the universe. Surround yourself with like-minded people who have positive energy.

And remember that a daily meditation practice that incorporates positive affirmations—even if it’s only a minute or two a day—can go a long way in attracting what you desire.

With joy, gratitude and abundance,

Jeannine
