So you want money, good health and joy eh? Tell you what… I’ve lost around 4 inches off my waist since November 2007. I’ve been promoted at work. I’ve also received a lot of nice financial surprises and made some great new friends.

Looking at Patterns and Making a Theory

All the positive stuff made me look at the patterns I’ve been following in the past months. Based on it and on what I’ve been reading lately, I’ve now developed a theory on how to be healthy and wealthy. I see four steps.

Step 1: Have a positive attitude in Life.

Look at all your feelings everyday. Feel good? Feel bad? Focus on the good emotions that come your way. You can ‘feel bad’ if you want, but don’t dwell on it too much. You are allowed to feel whatever you want try to always look at the bright side. When you start doing that, great days come.

I’ve also noticed that good thoughts are amplified more than negative ones - which works to our advantage because we seem to attract what we think about. Just use your emotions as a guide to your thoughts - feel good and good thoughts come.

How do you do that? When you encounter something terrible or bad, just think of something happy. Personally, I start my day with something like this…

“I feel good” by James Brown. Point is - just start your day with any feel good music.

2. Clearly visualize what you want.

You know this right? Athletes know this. If you want something, imagine it. Get deep into the feelings of it. You want that brand you car? Imagine it in your mind. Get it into your system. My friend has a joke about it - you have a one track mind. It’s a record that keeps playing on your head. It’s like that dreaded last song syndrome (LSS) - keep thinking about it.

Here’s a visualization scene from one of my Adam Sandler favorites:

Why? When you think about it, you subliminally hypnotize yourself to be ready for it. Without realizing it, you look for it. You meet with the rich and you ask them how they did it. You talk to healthy people and imagine yourself as healthy as they are.

At this point, you could get envious - but if you’ve focused on being positive (remember positive thoughts amplify more than negative ones), and see yourself being as successful as the rich/healthy folks, you make room for it in your life.

For those who want money, here’ some helpful self-hypnosis for you.

3. Figure out ‘how’ to get it.

Here’s where a very basic skill comes along - problem solving. I’ve noticed that I’ve developed a certain habit - when I want something, I immediately think about ‘how’ to get it. I don’t even allow myself to have doubts. I just know, I’m going to do it.

Again, let me return to sports for this. Do you know the concept of being “in the zone“? Look at these elements and get it into your system:

• Clear goals (expectations and rules are discernible and goals are attainable and align appropriately with one’s skill set and abilities).
• Concentrating and focusing, a high degree of concentration on a limited field of attention (a person engaged in the activity will have the opportunity to focus and to delve deeply into it).
• A loss of the feeling of self-consciousness, the merging of action and awareness.
• Distorted sense of time, one’s subjective experience of time is altered.
• Balance between ability level and challenge (the activity is neither too easy nor too difficult).
• A sense of personal control over the situation or activity.
• The activity is intrinsically rewarding, so there is an effortlessness of action.
• People become absorbed in their activity, and focus of awareness is narrowed down to the activity itself, action awareness merging

If you don’t know what I mean, try to go into a sport that you really love.

Point is: You’ve got the attitude. You know what you want. Now get in the FLOW of how to solve the problem of getting it.

4. Practice. Do it all over and over again. Then say ‘Thank You’.

Okey, here’s where the real fun begins. Start of with something easy. The other day, I wanted to drink great coffee but really had only around Fifty bucks left in my wallet (enough to get home). I was in the office and was pretty busy. In my head I kept repeating to myself… “I want coffee. Somebody give me great coffee!” We had coffee in the office but it was the ‘instant’ kind. That’s not what I wanted. Subliminally, I was thinking about it.

In the evening, somebody treated my Seattle’s best black and white hot cafe mocha. After drinking a sip I realized - what the hell, I just got what I wanted!

After that I said to myself - Thank You to whatever power in the universe that got me my coffee. Then I thought about it… I just randomly asked my someone to go out (despite having really no money that day) and she treated me to this great coffee. My problem solving “in the zone” mode actually kicked in.

Friday last week I asked for some surprise extra cash by Monday (yesterday). Guess what, last night a friend called me and wanted to pay me for one of my “web hosting” services. Somebody also wanted to place ads on one of my other sites. I immediately said “Thank You!” and allowed myself to smile.

Anyway… just practice it yourself, ok?

Bonus: Think Magically

Allow yourself to believe that a little magic does happen. You may want to call it Karma or Faith.

…a roof fell on a particular person because of a magical spell cast (unwittingly) by another person.

The Azande knew perfectly well a scientific explanation for the collapsing room (that termites had eaten through the supporting posts), but pointed out that this scientific explanation could not explain why the roof happened to collapse at precisely the same moment that the particular man was resting beneath it. The magic explains why two independent chains of causation intersect. Thus, from the point of view of the practitioners, magic explains what scientists would call “coincidences” or “contingency”. From the point of view of outside observers, magic is a way of making coincidences meaningful in social terms.

Just believe that the good stuff can happen to you. Let those “coincidences” come in.
