The Law of Attraction, Questions and Journaling—The Customized Explorations Methodology
Questions are very powerful. The mind is an obedient researcher, looking for answers to pretty much any question we consider. And, we ask ourselves questions all the time. Unfortunately, these questions are usually automatic and not necessarily useful. Often they involve judging and criticizing ourselves or others, such as:
"Why did I do that?"
"Why can't I ever have what I want?"
"Why don't they understand?"
But what if you interrupted this pattern of questioning?
What if you could develop a habit of asking yourself questions that direct your thoughts toward what you wantCin a way that stimulates inspired action and results?
The Customized Explorations™ approach is a guided journaling practice that uses questions specifically designed to direct your thoughts toward what you want, allowing you to take full advantage of the power of the Law of Attraction.
In fact, the methodology behind the Customized Explorations Journaling practice is based on the Law of Attraction, which states that “like attracts like.” This means that our lives are a culmination of the thoughts we give the bulk of our attention to, whether these thoughts are of things we want, or things we don’t.
The Law of Attraction is always at work in our lives. Our thoughts can be like a snowball rolling down a hill, gathering more snow as it goes. We think a thought, and if there is a lot of emotion tied to that thought, it generates more, similar thoughts and evidence for the validity of those thoughts...and this propels us into action. We have all experienced both the good and bad of this phenomenon--for example, when we worry or fall in love.
Asking yourself intentionally designed questions is a great way to DIRECT your thoughts. The guided journaling questions in our Customized Explorations Journals are developed so that you can identify and galvanize your wants and desires. The journaling practice is a structure to support giving your attention to what you appreciate and enjoy about life. Journaling then develops the habits of thought that will allow you to tap into the power of the Law of Attraction in any area you choose.
Feeling appreciative, joyous and expectant as a habit
This unique guided journaling practice works because you really can change your experience of life simply by intentionally placing your attention on thoughts that give you joy. This makes you feel good. When we talk about “feeling good,” we mean feeling appreciative, joyous and expecting to have your wants and desires fulfilled.
Whether you feel good or not so good, about anything, is a product of your thoughts rather than your circumstances. Consider that…
It’s actually possible to create feeling good and appreciative about any aspect of life as a habit.
The Customized Explorations approach crystallizes your thoughts about what you like and desire by having you put them in writing, which is a simple but powerful way to build new habits of thought. This practice will support you both in appreciating what you have and attracting more of what you want.
Guided Journaling and the Law of Attraction
The Customized Explorations Journaling practice was created to provide tools to support people in intentionally directing and creating new habits of thought by putting the Law of Attraction to work in their lives, based on their individual plans.
Oftentimes in the “everydayness” of our lives, we tend to focus only on what’s right in front of us, demanding our attention. It’s easy to lose sight of the things we really want. Mustering up the mental discipline needed to shift focus back to our desires sufficient to bring about a new way of thinking can be overwhelming without a structure. The Customized Explorations journaling practice was specifically designed to provide that structure.
The Guided Journaling Questions
The questions developed for the Journals are at the heart of the Customized Explorations practice and experience. Questions provoke thought. But how often do we give any effort to crafting questions in a powerful way? The Customized Explorations journal questions are designed to guide you in probing further into your dreams and desires, helping you actively pay attention to what you want to create—right now, as well as in the future.
The Practice
You will begin to explore these questions, writing your answers in your Journal. The practice of exploring these questions in writing keeps what you want on your radar screen. It gives your wants, desires and goals more clarity, and thus more power. Finally, the practice of journaling expands your capacity to ask powerful questions, think affirming thoughts, and build new habits of thought.
