Perspective is everything. Life is so busy that you’re constantly in auto-mode. You spin your wheels daily, and it’s not until things hit the fan that you slam on the brakes and take a look around. Do you recognize your life? Do you recognize yourself?

I recently found out that layoffs are coming at work. Even though my wheels were spinning just fine, I was stopped dead in my tracks. I have been doing this for so long I had never considered what would happen if I had to move on to something else. As I was trying to envision where the universe would lead me, it’s as though light entered my life.

I had an opportunity—a moment—to just stop and put things into perspective. I am so lucky to have this job that I adore, but what if there’s more that I’m meant to do? So I started to think…what is it that I want for myself? Will it be good for me and others? Will I be happy and healthy? How do I find what I’m meant to do? How do I get there?

Taking time to envision a different life for myself was incredible. I forgot how wonderful it felt to dream—to wish, to hope, to wonder. Suddenly, I realized that it’s the things that we attract that will come to us.

So how do we get from A to Z? From simple desires to actions? How can changing your perspective and the law of attraction change your life? Check out these ideas…

Perspective 

First thing’s first: change your perceptive. Rather than seeing a situation as something negative, try to envision how this event could positively change your life—consider the endless opportunities that might become available to you.

Gratitude 

No matter the situation, always be grateful for what you have. The more gratitude you show the universe, the more the universe will provide. Stay positive.

Think

Take time to think about what you truly desire. I’m not just talking about that new Chanel wallet you’re eyeing, but rather, the things that will bring joy to your life, and peace to your heart. Consider if what you want benefits both you and others. Will it help you become a better version of yourself?

Envision that desire and see it all the way through. Sit with your thoughts—imagine yourself reaching those goals. If needed, create a vision board to remind you of what you want most in life.

Manifest

Once you’ve figured out what it is that you desire, manifest it. See it. Feel it. Touch it. Envision what it would be like if that was your life. Try to see yourself where you want to be without worrying about how you’ll get it…

Bye Felicia

And by Felicia, I mean negativity. If anything negative stands in the way of your hopes and desires, get rid of it. Whether it’s toxic people, old photos of your abusive ex, or even your own negative thoughts, it’s got to go. Cleanse.

Set intentions

Set your intentions, whether verbally, written, etc. Be sure that what you desire is out in the open. Keep an open mind and an open heart, and the universe will respond.

Timing

Timing is also very important. At the end of the day, there is a larger plan for each of us. Just because something isn’t happening right now, doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Trust the universe to give you what you need exactly when you need it…

Believe

Most importantly believe that it will happen. Trust that the universe will provide. Visualize your future, your happiness, your desires. Know that the universe has your back…

When life changes drastically, sometimes you have to trust the universe and learn to let go…
