I recently read the book called The Law of Attraction by Jerry and Esther Hicks. It is a very powerful book as it goes into detail about how to apply the law of attraction to your life and answers questions that I have heard many people ask about the law of attraction. In this book they actually cover several different laws and guidelines that make up the total law of attraction and one that I found particularly helpful is called Intent Segmentation.

Segmenting intention is taking the time to pre-think each segment of your day for maximum pleasure and success. Until I read this, I had focused solely on my big goals and dreams. Segment intent tells you to pre-think each task you do throughout the day. Here are some examples that can help you with this concept:

As you get in your car and prepare to drive to a destination, think of clear and safe roads, green lights all the way, and the perfect parking space waiting for you at your destination. When you approach a traffic light, think green while looking at the traffic lights. This may seem silly at first, but give it a try and see what happens.

Once you’re at your destination, before you get out of the car, think about what would be the best possible outcome if you enter the next situation or segment, and focus on making that happen. Maybe you’re in a commission-based job and are just going in for a bite to eat. Perhaps the best possible outcome is for a stranger to strike up a conversation with you, allowing you to introduce your business and make a sale. If that’s the case, THINK ABOUT IT! I have done this since learning this technique and have had some very strange occurrences; More recently, I imagined that when I went to the gym, someone would ask me about my network marketing company that I’m involved with. This is a gym I go to every day, listen to my IPOD, and no one has ever approached me about network marketing. That same day the person behind the counter told me that she had been trying to contact me about my company and she joined my company on the spot!

Now the raw deal of the law of attraction is that you get what you want, but unfortunately, you also get what you DON’T want. As you think of the best possible cases, eliminate the negatives. If you don’t want to encounter traffic on your journey, don’t think “No Traffic” as you are still focusing on traffic. Think “Path Clear.” When you’re trying to lose weight, don’t think “lose weight,” think “get skinny.” When you’re thinking about financial stability, don’t think “Pay the bills,” think “Make money.”

Most of us go through the day and just let it happen to us. With your knowledge of segment intent, you now know that you can help shape and shape your day instead of just letting things happen. As you practice this more and more, and see it work more and more, you will become bolder in your thinking and your intention, and even greater things will happen to you! Remember the words of Napoleon Hill, What you can conceive and believe you can achieve!
