Pretend Outside The Box!

Hey Everyone,

How are your boxes coming along? What types of pictures or items did you place in your box? I know that I have been writing experiences that I would like to manifest in my life, along with some inspiring nature pictures.


For this year, I plan on having a fun, relaxing, and productive school year. Therefore, I placed items in the box that have made me excited about the upcoming school year, such as requests for lesson plans, ways to help my students learn, and for this year to bring joy and inner peace to my students, myself, and for my fellow faculty members. It’s amazing what I have encountered using this exercise.

For example, I recently went to clean out my classroom. As I walked into the room, some of my fellow faculty members left me some great materials to use for the school year! I was truly amazed on how this manifested into my experience! In my room there were reading books, banners, and social studies materials that I could use for my class! Although I might not have asked for these specific items, I am a firm believer that the Law of Attraction was able to provide these items as the first step for a successful school year.

Yes, I realize that some invisible force didn’t put these materials on my desk. However, I am a firm believer that if you want something, and if you can feel and think positively about it, your desires will somehow come to you.

Now, you can spend all day and night, placing random things in your box! Now here comes the next step for making manifestation a reality: Pretend that your desires and dreams have already come true or as if they are coming true.

Wait a minute……. what is wrong with this guy? What is he talking about? Has he lost his mind? Pretend? How old are we? As you might remember from my last post, I mentioned how as we grow older, we sometimes loose our ability to use your imagination.

Am I tell you to verbally tell everyone that your dreams have come true, that you meet prince charming, traveled around the world?….. Hell No! What I am asking you to do is to attempt to start feeling the emotions as if you have already accomplished your goals! As I read in “The Secret”, (also another great book about the Law of Attraction), you have to declare your goals through your emotions. Basically each day you have to feel determined that your goals will come true. The hard part is that we begin to think about all the details that of how this will happen. That will unfold in time. Let me give you a scenario.

Meet Johnny. Johnny is in high school and is unsure of what he wants to do with his life. To ease his uncertainty, he declares emotionally and mentally that he is going to find his purpose in life. Although Johnny has no idea what route he will take to do this, by the law of attraction, clues in his life will begin to appear such as teachers recommending him to career counselors, or he will meet people who share similar interests with him, or maybe he will receive some scholarships to different schools. Yes, I am sure Johnny will have some doubt time to time, however, if his emotional and mental state is predominantly fixated on his goal than he will find what he is looking for.

The main message that I am trying to get across in this blog is that in order to achieve your dreams two things are necessary: 1) sitting down and identifying what you want (such as what you did with the box activity and 2) each day do your best to act as if your desires have come true and expect them to.

That is it for now! Until next time, KEEP DREAMING! 
