For over 6 years I’ve been studying yoga. For all these 6 years my yoga teacher often repeated: “Your life is just the reflection of your consciousness. Once you understand it, your life will change dramatically.”

I’ve never paid much attention to it. It sounded weird, and I couldn’t really understand this concept. A couple of months ago I hit the point in my life where everything was going just plain wrong. I had troubles in my love life, I had some serious money problems, and to top it off I had a huge fight with my best friend.

I felt depressed and stressed out. I had no idea how to change the situation. Until one day I looked in the mirror and the word “reflection” stuck in my head. “If my life is just the reflection of my thoughts, then I created this myself!” This realization made my knees go weak. I sat down staring at the wall, trying to digest this thought.

This realization changed my life almost instantly. The same evening I called my friend and apologized. The depression disappeared in an instant, I felt full of strength and energy. The week after that, I launched the new project that was extremely successful (it’s still making me money every month). As for the love life… I’m in loving relationship with the cutest Italian guy in the world.

I have to warn you: once you truly realize it, it will change the way you look at your life forever. It’s almost painful at first, thinking that you created all your problems, all your failures, all your stress, and even all your health issues.

But once you understand it, you will have the greatest power available at your hands – the power to create your life just the way you want it.

You can build your life the way you want just by changing your thoughts.

I want you to mentally look on your life from the side and ask yourself:

- Am I happy?

- What do I want to change?

- Why I haven’t achieved my goals yet?

Look at all the aspects of your life: your job or your business, your family, your health. Now say aloud: “I created my life with my thoughts. My life is just the reflection of my mind.” Repeat it at least 10 times.

Now your inner voice probably says: “But I didn’t want this! How could I create all these problems? Those are simply circumstances!”

Please, remember one thing – there is no such thing as circumstances. It’s only your attitude. You create your own circumstances, because you create everything! What you think – you become. What you think your life is – your life becomes.

I’m not saying that you created all the bad things in your life on purpose. After all, you had no idea how your thinking affects your life.

The good news is that now, when you know, you can use this Law of Universe to live the life you want. And I’m going to teach you a couple techniques to make it even easier.

Technique #1: Create your life on paper.

This will take you some time, but I promise that this exercise will be worth it.

Take a piece of paper and describe your life the way you want it to be. There are no limitations. Don’t think “Oh, that’s impossible”. If you can think it, you can create it.

Describe everything in detail. You have to see the whole picture, to feel what it is like to live the life of your dreams.

- What house do you live in?

- What’s your occupation? Do you run your own business?

- What is your income?

- How’s your family?

- What kind of car are you driving?

- Where do you go on vacation?

- What are your hobbies?

- What does your regular day look like?

Set aside a couple of hours, turn off your phone, and take the first step to your dream life. Start creating it from the inside. Once you create this picture, your subconscious mind will start working on making this dream a reality… on autopilot!

Once you’re done, don’t lose this paper. Reread it on a regular basis, for example every time before you go to bed. This will keep you focused on the life you want to live. And whatever you’re focused on – you’ll get.

Technique #2: Forget about the problems.

The universe works in a wonderful way. It gives you whatever you focus on.

If you focus on your money problems – you’ll get more money problems.

If you focus on your bad relationships – you’ll get more bad relationships.

If you focus on your stress – you’ll get more stress.

It works every time.

The key to making this universal law work for you is to focus on what you want. You have to learn focusing NOT on the problem, but on the SOLUTION.

To tell you the truth, problems don’t exist at all. It’s only tasks that you have to do in order to learn lessons life is giving you.

If something happens, stop worrying and stressing out. Remind yourself that it’s only a task, and you have everything to successfully carry it out.

Focus on the solution.

In this world of constant distractions, staying focused on your goal is not easy.

However, there are 3 techniques that can help you to maintain your focus, your energy and your optimism while pursuing your goal.

1. List the reasons “WHY” do you want to accomplish your goal.

Put it in writing, don’t just say it in your head. Try to come up with at least 20 reasons. I know it’s a lot, but the more reasons you’ll find the stronger your motivation will be.

It is easy to lose focus and motivation, when we are faced with multiple distractions, set-backs, and day-to-day issues.

By keeping positive rewards and compelling reasons in a forefront of your mind, you will noticeably improve your ability to stay focused on the goal.

2. With every decision you make, ask yourself “Is this decision going to bring me closer or further away from my goal?“

Every minute we are faced with multiple choices on what to do.

We can watch TV or run a few miles in the park.

We can have a hamburger and French fries for lunch or we can choose a chicken breast with grilled vegetables.

We can complain about our problems or we can do something about them.

When you start comparing two activities in your mind, it becomes a lot easier to make right decisions and stay focused on your long-term goals.

3. Surround yourself with reminders.

Whenever, you feel discouraged or distracted, reminders help you to get back on track.

There are tons of small things that can help us to keep your attention focused on our goal throughout the day: a poster on the wall, a picture at your desktop, a coffee mug with an inspirational quote, a statement of your goal on your bedroom wall or your bathroom mirror, a small token or a symbol of your dream that you can carry in your pocket.

The more your mind will stay focused on your goal, the faster you’ll get the result!
