The theory of attraction?

Now, when I hear "the theory of attraction" it sounds like a "men are from mars and women..etc", but as I learned the other day (while pacing around the house with a screaming baby) on Oprah, its about getting what you want out of life. that is my understanding of it, at any rate. The basic schpeel is that you put good energy out into the universe and good comes back, but you also have to, now on this I'm a little cloudy, look for what you want? envision what you want? focus on what you want? There were three women up there talking to Oprah about their books on this topic, and they all had a lot to say, so it's a little jumbled in my head right now.

The part that I honed in on was this; making a vision board. You're suppose to take a piece of poster board or a bulletin board or something, and fasten to it things you want. You are suppose to do this all the time, and leave it up where you can see it, and look at it every day. Of course, they suggested cutting things out of magazines that represent things that you want. Not just material things, but romantically, educationally, spiritually, whatever.



So I bit. I am own little Van Goh, so I have poster board around. I thought finding things to put on it might be a little difficult, so I cut it down to about 11x13. It has in fact been hard, but I'm blaming the magazines. I had magazines around the house, but they were all about pretty much the same things: horses, golf, and catalogs, oh and spin mag. So I've sat down 3 times so far to add things to my vision board. The first time, with just the mags i had at home. The racing one was full of phrases and words that I could Identify with and wanted or wanted to feel.

"Prized", "Change In the Weather", "Smart Guy", "Peace". I found an old an old natural cures catalog around the house and found some bits of nature i felt would fit in: a magnolia (favorite flower), a lady bug (joy, good luck, contentment), a shot of an awesome lightning storm (I love storms). Then I thumbed through a catalog of baby stuff: I'd like to be a mom, so I picked out a picture of a cute baby, and stuck it on my board. Next I went to the store and bought the cheapest women's magazine i could find. I figured, maybe there'd be pics of what other women wanted, I might be after the same thing, no such luck. !


*this is the second time this posting page has ate part of my posting before I can finish.

With this in mind, the last bit I have to say about this will appear in a later post, because now I'm really irritated, and will be more happy to re-type the end later.
good night
