How To Create The Life You Love

Once we recognize how little power we have over anyone else's life, we are often more willing to focus on creating a fabulous one of our own. Besides, if our own life works, we won't care so much about what anyone else is doing or not doing.
Here are some great tips for making your life the one you love:

Start listening to yourself:
What makes you happy? What puts a skip in your step, a song in your throat? Your body tells you the truth. Listen.

Try this: put you hand on your heart and just listen to it for anfew minutes. Is your heart happy? If 10 where the happiest you
heart could be, what number would your heart rate itself at? Whatndoes your heart need to make that number higher?

Pay attention to the little things:
Often we are so focused on the big stuff, we forget the juicinessnof little pleasures: letting ourselves watch the stars or clouds,ntaking 15 minutes to eat a cookie, giving ourselves a cat-nap onnthe couch, ice skating or paying with a pet. Remember some of thenthings you loved to do as a child and do some of them again.

Stop up the Leaks:
You know what they are--the conversations, people and tasks thatndrain you. Give less time to them. Much less time. Your energy isnyour most precious commodity--be a caring custodian of it.

Develop language skills:
You can say ANYTHING to anyone if you use both neutral words and a neutral tone. Learning how to do this will enable you to speak up for yourself far more easily. What results from that is a muchnhigher success rate for getting what you want. With no mess tonclean up later.

Act as if you living that Best Life NOW:
This is hugely important!. What you focus on you get more of. Thenuniverse provides you with a match to your energy. That's whynpeople who have it made, have it made. And why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The universe is one big mirror.

If you want to know what that Universal mirror is currently seeing,just look at your life. That can be discouraging if you're unhappy but great news if you're ready to make changes. So, imagine yourself doing great things, having the vacation or money you desire. Try on the clothes you'd love to wear. Then walk like you already have them on. This will get you excited and excitement pulls things towards itself.

Be grateful.
Say "Thank you" even before what you want has turned up. So simple,but so effective.

Learn energy modulation:
Minimize the loss of your precious life force from worry, anxietynand other distressing emotions. There are lots of tools such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Focusing, Affirmations and
Meditation that can not only help you regulate 'negative' emotions, but that can install positive feelings. A great game to ramp your energy to a more postivie place is to lay "Wouldn't it be fantastic if..." Complete this sentence 5 times in a row and I'll guarantee you'll feel more optimistic and energized.

Try some of these ideas out in the weeks to come and start creating the Life You Love.
