Big Girl Panties

I think we all have heard about the Law of Attraction, so I’m not going to start explaining what it is or how it works. All you have to do to learn more about it is either watch The Secret or read a book or even an article on the subject. The most important thing you need to know is that what you’re thinking and feeling is attracting more of it to you, and if you want to be getting what you want, you should start using this Law of Attraction to your advantage.

There’s a lot of different techniques for using LOA, most of which include an affirmative thought and visualization. If you want to have something you don’t currently possess, you must experience it as if it’s already yours – already real – and keep on enjoying the experience until you actually have it.

Of course, it is easier said than done, especially for those who are used to feeling insecure about certain aspects of their personal growth. So, recently, I've been thinking about making my own reality creating technique, that might help us to dive into the experience we’re trying to create. I called it a Storytelling technique. Instead of merely stating or affirming your intention, it consists of you writing a sort of your own story in which you experience what you desire.

Let me explain.

Everyone has a story, or at least everyone should have one. I think the problems start when you stop following the story line and entrust the “plot” into the hands of fate. But life is a bit too important to leave it all up to chance, don’t you think?

We often get terribly engrossed in other peoples stories, but rarely create one of our own. We read many books and watch a lot of TV shows. Mostly it’s being done for the sake of having a storyline to follow, because if there is a void or dissatisfaction inside, a good story can do the trick and save us from unwanted thoughts and feelings. The downside of this mood booster is that it’s not our story that takes so much attention.

Have you ever noticed that when we feel the lack of some human emotion, we go and try to replace it with a fake one? When we look at our lives and see how little adventures we have, we go and rent the Pirates of the Caribbean, or some other movie of that sort. When we (usually women) feel the lack of romance, we go and buy a romance novel. Those things can both occupy and satisfy, but only for a really short period of time, because eventually every book and every movie comes to an end.

And yet, every person is like a hero of his or her own story. That would be great, if only that person was also an author. The Law of Attraction teaches us to attract things we wish to experience, but we can only do that if a technique we use is simple enough and doesn’t take too much effort, which could bring negative emotions.

Storytelling technique is meant for using the Law of Attraction while writing a story of your own. Usually, when we want to create something, we use Visualization and Affirmative Thought technique. At least, it’s what we’ve been taught. The other way to attract something you desire is by writing your intention or experience you want to create in a form of a story or, if you like, a script.

You might try writing your intents like a diary or a journal of present and future events, divided by months like a book is divided by chapters, or a TV series by episodes. For example, if you wish to achieve something by next month, write an entry (or entries) for that month in your Manifestation Journal.

Unlike making an affirmation, write in a totally non mechanic way, as if you really are experiencing something. Don’t try to fake your feelings or thoughts on the subject, but instead write from your own unique point of view. You can even name each month like you would name a chapter to symbolize some change you want to take place in your life.

If, for instance, you usually practice the affirmative thought and visualization technique, this technique is orientated on writing a sort of a scenario of your future experiences. If your affirmative thought is “I have a new car”, your journal entry would be describing how that new car enters your experience and becomes a part of your story.

This method of attracting things into your life also can help you in understanding what it is that you really want to achieve the most. It helps you in realizing exactly what sort of experience you want to get from manifestation of your intention.


A Recap

So, here’s what you can do to “get into the experience”:

Write a story for the intent of yours you wish to manifest;

Pick your own soundtrack associated with that intent;

Pick a picture just like the one you have in your mind’s eye, and just let that vibe you created stay the way it is, untouched by the worry and thoughts of how or if it will manifest;

Just believe it, even if only for a few minutes, and then let go with a sense of peace in your heart.
