1. Be mindful of your thoughts, when raising your vibration. It is imperative to keep a close eye on the habitual thoughts that enter your head. It can be difficult at first to be aware of the many thoughts that... constantly bombard your mind all day long, but by beginning to notice unwelcome or negative thoughts you can start to replace them with a positive thought you already have pre-programmed in your mind, this works wonders towards raising your vibration. When I say pre-programmed, I mean you have a positive thought in your mind, a thought that you know makes you happy, that you substitute in place of any negative thought that comes into your mind.

2. Only talk about what you want, not what you do not want when looking to raise your vibration. If you are looking for a new relationship, don’t say things like, I can never find the right person for me. If you talk like this, this is exactly what you will get and you will make your quest towards raising your vibration that much harder. You get what you say and think. Even if you haven’t been too successful in finding the right person previously, it does not matter. Change your words and you will change your life and what you get in your life. Instead say something like, I intend to find the perfect person for me. Have a confident expectancy that at any time you could meet this person and you will exponentially increase your chances of finding them.

3. Stay away from negative or pessimistic people. These types of people are running a very low vibration and their low vibration can have a negative impact on your vibrational level. Instead of raising your vibration you will lower it and this will bring about more events residing on a low vibration, like problems, stress and worry.

4. Spend some time not thinking. Yes that’s right, stop thinking so much. To do this I like to take a walk away from the city and the noise. Go to a place in the country if you can and take a long walk, concentrating on your surroundings, keeping your mind off your usual thoughts. This is a great way to clear your head and also help in raising your vibration. If you cannot get away, try listening to some soothing music and avoid thinking by concentrating on the sounds.

5. Join groups of like minded people. Spend time with people interested in the same things you like and learn at the same time. Being around like minded and positive people seriously helps towards raising your vibration and the vibration of those around you.

6. Give away something you can afford each week. Give away your time, some money to a charity you believe in or give away something you don’t use anymore but may be useful to someone else. What you give is what you get in life, so by giving you will receive in one way or another. Help others and you will be helped. You have a profound effect on raising your vibration when you help others as it makes you feel good from the inside.

7. Be aware of your actions. Everything you do comes back to you in some way so always be wary of how you treat others and how you act in all situations. How you treat others is how you will be treated, by doing the right thing by everyone you come into contact with will help towards raising your vibration as others continue to do the right thing by you. Treating everyone well will have a positive effect on attracting people and opportunities into your life.

8. If you can, avoid the television, radio and media in general. It is especially important to avoid all news programs as they do much more harm to your vibration level than they do good. By watching TV you end up taking in so much negative energy it becomes confusing to your subconscious mind and some of that negative imagery and energy gets absorbed by your subconscious and elevates a feeling of fear from within.

9. Stay optimistic at all times if your goal is to raise your vibration. This can be difficult to do especially when you are in a crisis, but when you are in a crisis situation, this is when it is most important to stay positive. By remaining positive you keep your vibration high and when you are vibrating at a higher rate your problems will dissipate so much quicker or you may find it was not really a problem at all. Positive things and events are attracted to positive people.

10. Stay in touch with your feelings. This is the most important factor in keeping your vibration level high. Your feelings are the cosmic glue in regards to your entire life. When you are feeling good about yourself only other things residing on the same good frequency will be attracted into your life. Your level of vibration runs parallel with your feelings, meaning you are in control of your life and the events that come into your life at any given moment. If there was one most important point in relation to raising your vibration it would be to stay on top of your feelings.

Don't you, at times, just know what that dreaded phone call is going to be all about ... or if someone says, "Can I have a word you?" then don't you just know what it is going to be for. You've entered into a state of negativity that pulls you down, whereas in direct contrast to this when you use Cosmic Ordering then you find your life being filled with positive thoughts.

When something happens where you are put into a heightened state of anxiety then fear and dread fills you and you can then tend to think of the worst misfortune that can befall you. Using Cosmic Ordering maintains a level state of coherence, allowing you to become less anxious in such circumstances where others lose their heads.

Being late for work, missing a train, losing your mobile on the way to work, forgetting an important file and many other such mishaps are lodged in our subconscious mind and we are always moving through our daily routine dreading of the worst possible events that may befall us.

By thinking all these negative thoughts you have, without your conscious knowledge, you have actually aided all of the very things that went wrong with you! By dwelling on negativity you have attracted similar negative feelings and thus filled up your every living day with horror stories. Lose all of those negative feelings when Cosmic Ordering shows you how to focus on what you do want, not what you don't!

Ah, ha! Let me explain. Well, for the cooks amongst us, you know when you are in a hurry and you turn everything up on the cooker/stove to high heat and hope to have the meal prepared in half the usual time because you are running late. This is exactly how some of you are placing your orders when manifesting!

Yes, you go through the chores of the day, and we all have to do them: cleaning the home, tidying away the toys, washing the dishes, cutting the lawn, going for a haircut, shaving (men and women: legs for the ladies on a night out … and maybe even the bikini line before holidaying), etc, etc.

Then when it comes to devoting time to yourself the day has nearly drawn to an end, so you hurry your manifesting routine. How do I know this? Well you may ask. Although I do have a crystal ball (decorative purposes), I know this because of a “toad in the hole” I made.

Now, for those of my friends who do not know what a ‘toad in the hole is’, let me explain. Toad in the hole is a rather tasty dish, and here is the recipe:

Serves 4
8 Pork Sausages110g (4oz) Plain White Flour300ml (½ pint) Milk2 Small Eggs½ tsp SaltPlace the flour in a bowl, then make a well in the centre and break in the egg.
Mix in half the milk using a wooden spoon, work the mixture until smooth then add the remaining milk.
Beat or whisk until fully combined and the surface is covered with tiny bubbles.Allow to rest for 15 to 30 minutes, whisk again before use.Preheat the oven to 230°C; 450°F: Gas 8Fry the sausages in a pan to lightly color and remove excess fat, reserve the fat.Place the fat in a small roasting tin adding a little oil, if needed, to bring the amount of fat up to about 4 tbsp.Heat the fat until smoking hot then pour in the batter.Add the sausage chunks and place into the hot oven.Bake for about 5-10 minutes at 230°C; 450°F: Gas 8, then reduce to 200°C; 400°F: Gas 6 and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until the batter around the sausages has risen and is a deep golden brown.Serve immediately or the pudding will deflate.
Tip
Other meats may also be cooked and served this way. To this traditional dish may be added many other ingredients for interesting variations: chopped parsley or coriander to the batter, garlic to the gravy.

Anyway, enough of the cooking lesson. I was running a little late … I wanted to speed up the cooking process, so I turned up the oven heat. Bad move! As I progressively checked the dish via the glass oven door I noticed that it was rising, and that the top was turning to a preordained golden brown. Yes, indeed, I had accelerated time.

When I thought the toad in the hole was ready, I lifted her safely from the oven … what a sumptuous looking dish she looked, mmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhh. However, as I cut into the golden crust I found that the innermost part was not cooked, it was still a little runny, the mix was not cooked all the way through.

This is when it dawned on me, that it was akin to panicking when manifesting, I call it panic ordering … hurrying on high heat is comparable to panic ordering. You go through the motions, although not fully applying the time needed, and yet you expect results. You get what are the beginnings of your manifestation order, but they are never fully manifested as they seem to be.

And the toad in the hole, I turned the heat down and put it back in the oven on a very low heat, it had actually taken twice as long to cook than if I had of just allowed it to remain in the oven for its normal cooking time. “Let that be a lesson to me!” I thought.
Just as my toad in the hole was burnt when it was eventually cooked, so can your manifesting orders be if you allow yourself to get caught out in such a way. Ensure that you do actually make that connection, don’t try it when you are short on time.

Release your stress before you decide to go for what it is you want, as that build up is likely to take all the joy away from whatever it is when you eventually get it. Keep your mind attuned to your desire, but not overly attuned. If you become obsessive about something then you are likely to negate that from happening or end up losing touch with your senses.

When you want something there is a beginning, middle and an end. You firstly decide what it is you want, and then you get it and then finally think about how you will pay for it. The main thing is that you have got it, and once you have it in your possession you will do all you can to keep it. Now go get it!

Stop harboring grudges against those who have wronged you, it just holds you back when you really want to be in the NOW. Learn to forgive others so that you can release yourself from being held captive by the very negative thoughts around you. You are not forgiving others just for the sake of it; you are forgiving them so you can set yourself free.

Have you noticed how some people are successful without even trying; they seem to glide through life. What is their secret? Simple! They are focused! This is what you must do if you want what you desire. Do not waste your time on the detail of it, just go for it BIG time.

Successful people have the ability to change direction without any warning. Adopt this methodology and become flexible to life around you so that you can become a winner. This is what sets winners apart from losers.

Never be frightened to accept help, as pride comes before a fall. When you want to be successful then the main key is to delegate the mundane jobs to others. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family who want to see you get on in life. If you have negative-minded friends then, sorry, you have to dump them, as they will only succeed in stopping you from going forward. So be brave in your mind about jettisoning that extra baggage that is holding you back.

Never put something off until tomorrow what you can do today. Never allow anyone to impose their views on you or to dissuade you from doing it, as they are wasting your time. If you fail then look on this as a learning curve, as it will stand you in good stead in being able to avoid such problems again.

Be thankful for what you have, give praise and never hold back in lending support where you can give it, as this will be returned to you tenfold and more. Make your dreams a reality by being clear and precise about what you want, stop being vague.

Feel worthy of your desires, tell yourself you deserve to be successful and that you are successful. So long as you are healthy then you have the ability to succeed, be thankful for that. Anything good that comes along should be accepted with praise. Stop being selfish with praise towards yourself and others, if you can’t say anything good then don’t say anything bad. Give what you can when you can, even if it is simply holding a door open for someone, see how good it makes you feel. Random acts of kindness should be given from the heart, you cannot plan for them.

Negative-minded people can drain you of your energy, so shield yourself from these psychic vampires by staying in a high state of mind, it will block them out and they will soon get the message. Ensure the environment you are in is conducive to you staying in a state of positive vibrancy, as this can block your positive thoughts from manifesting what you desire.

Wherever possible, mix with like-minded people. If you all have the same goals for success then this can have a synergistic effect and propel you forward faster than if you tried on your own. If you sense bad vibes in the group then you have to detach from them. It is also important that you get to spend some time on your own, as this is when the creative part of your mind can work at its best in making your dreams come true. Spend time reflecting on what is negative and what is positive in your life, then have a clear out!

Don’t take things too seriously, enjoy what you are doing and make it something you want to do, as opposed to what you have to do. Learn to control yourself, become good at spotting when you are starting to worry unnecessarily and counter it with positive thoughts. Look at your position in life now, then project your thoughts forward to six months ahead and see the difference. Make that happen, condition yourself that it WILL happen.

Remember the song about smiling, well that is true ... the whole world smiles with you. Your smile is an outward sign that you are a happy person, and successful people smile, they do not have worry etched across their faces. Try it, smile at a stranger and see what happens, of course be sure to do it in the right environment. When you get a smile in return it is making you feel good and adds to your depth of energy reserves. So go around and collect smiles and charge your tank to overflowing with energy. You will find you become more popular and soon you will attract luck in whatever you do.

Follow this guidance and you will find that you can achieve almost anything. Make your life different starting from NOW. As procrastination is the biggest downfall of most. Just do it and be a winner, believe you are a winner from this moment onwards.

Alright, your feet are in agony, they seem, at times, as if though they are on fire and at the same time being crushed by rocks. You can’t wait to take your shoes off in order to allow the pain to escape. But hang on, there might just be something good to come out of all of that pain you have been suffering!

I have conducted some in-depth research, some might call it wasted time. However, I call it amazing! If what I have discovered is correct then it is going to help a lot of people come to terms with their situation and make the pain worthwhile. Not that any pain is worth enduring for any amount of money, but wait until you see where I am coming from with this discovery before slamming it. Because what I have discovered here is just amazing! I am going to show you how success and painful feet are linked!

What am I getting at here? Well, first take your shoe and sock off from one of your feet, look at that bare foot; now zone in on the second toe of that foot (the one next to your big toe). Now take a close look at it. Is it freakishly longer than your big toe? If it is longer, read on. If it is not longer then there is no need to read the rest of this, as you may just put it down to probably, etc so no drama.

Right, for the rest of you with that large second toe, you have something that is called “Morton’s Foot Syndrome”, also known as Greek Foot, Royal Toe or Morton’s Toe (thought to occur in about 15-20% of the world’s population). But feel blessed, because ancient Greeks considered Morton’s toe to be a sign of beauty. Even the statue of liberty has Morton’s toe … really! But please read on, as I haven’t quite finished explaining about the joy of having such a malady!

You most likely experience excruciating foot pain, especially if you spend a lot of time on your feet. The reason for all of this pain is due to how the second toe protrudes when you walk, all of the pressure is taken by that second toe when, in fact, it is meant to be taken by the big toe when you push off.

Your problem is how the second metatarsal bone that attaches to the second toe is longer than the metatarsal bone that connects to the big toe.  Thus all of the pressure goes straight into the ball of your foot, particularly when you push off each foot when walking, as this is how we walk. Because the big toe no longer does what it is designed for then you will suffer huge problems.

Some say that when the toe next to the big toe is longer than the big toe it's a sign of high intelligence, but I am sure you knew that anyway!! But I still haven’t reached the magnificent news you want to hear!

Don’t get me wrong, I certainly do not have a foot fetish. But over the years I wanted to find out why some people had so much pain in their feet, while others experienced zero foot pain. That’s when I discovered Morton’s toe. So during some of my Cosmic Ordering workshops I ran in the past I would ask to see the bare foot of some of my delegates, and no … it was not some bizarre initiation ceremony! I just wanted to see if they had a longer second toe than their big first toe. And guess what, every single one I asked to look had Morton’s toe!

I mean, these delegates were on my course in order to secure success, they were success-minded people. I was starting to discover that successful people are more than likely to have Morton’s toe. I am not saying that they had success simply as a reward for the pain they were going through, I am just extrapolating on my findings.

Also, Morton's toe is said to reveal you have immense forethought but can be overconfident and enjoys to be seen to be in charge (some say the person would be the boss of the family). However your endowment of having Morton’s toe lies with being able to inspire confidence in others. Another prevalent notion is that people of Celtic origins have a longer second toe. Others declare that you are descended from Royalty if your second toe is longer.

From my own research I have discovered there are quite a few celebrities with Morton’s toe and as far as I can determine from photographic and documented evidence they may well include: Katie Holms, Keira Knightley, Shilpa Shetty, Jennifer Garner, Naomi Campbell, Princess Kate Middleton, Keri Hilson, Iman, Serena Williams, Sarah Jessica Parker, Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Renee Zellweger, Christina Hendricks, Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Lara Spencer, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, Jessica Alba, Maria Menounos, Ashley Lilley, Shannon Elizabeth, Carmen Electra, Charlize Theron, Jessica Simpson, Nicolette Sheridan, Reese Witherspoon, Emma Bunton, Eva Mendes, Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Ashley Olsen, Sharon Stone, Rashida Jones, Carrie Underwood, Paula Abdul, Selena Gomez, Jamie Chung, Laura Croft, Gisele Bundchen, Allison Munn, Drew Barrymore, Keri Hilson, Serena Williams, President Kennedy, Michael Phelps, Gov Sarah Palin.

So after reading that, I am sure Morton’s toe is a condition you can live with, although it could cause, aches and pains all over the body including back, hip, knee, leg foot and ankles problems. Also, it could be the real cause of not only the problems listed above but also of fibromyalgia and sleep disturbances. The prevalence of Morton's toe is thought to be responsible for well over 80% of people suffering from musculoskeletal pain. Find out more about Stephen Richards here.

When it comes to using the law of attraction in conjunction with the subconscious mind, much of what was once considered metaphysical, esoteric knowledge in the past is now scientific fact.
The ability to create is a Cosmic given gift, a gift given to everyone without exception.
Do you know the first step to manifesting is thought! I mean you already know that thoughts are energy, so it’s no secret to discover that your thoughts act as a magnet and attract other thoughts, people and circumstances that harmonize with them.
Desire is a very strong key towards your mind power. You must not only know “what you want”, but you must also “want it hard enough” and be willing to make an effort towards attaining it…
And in order to do this you simply need to create a strong and intense desire towards whatever it is you want to accomplish or attain.
You need to develop a desire so strong it will cause you to use every ounce of your power and energy toward the accomplishment of your object or goal.
The subconscious mind is working tirelessly 24 hours a day. It doesn't analyze, it doesn't judge, it simply accepts and attracts more of what the conscious mind is focused on.
By focusing on desire and showing gratitude for what you already have, the subconscious mind is given the necessary material to provide a constant stream of opportunities.
It's impossible to operate outside the law of attraction. Consciously or unconsciously your thoughts, feelings, and emotions determine if this law works for you. Stay focused on your success and reaching your goals. As one success leads to another, success becomes a habit.

 KEEP CALM AND EXPECT CHANGEWow, so many are feared of change, and yet change can be a positive challenge. What some see as a nightmare scenario in their life, others can see as a dream change. Some see change as if waking up in a badly written dystopian novel.  The one ingredient needed to overcome the fear of change is the confidence to go forward in life. Embracing change as something good can become seond nature, and then in doing so you can also embrace success in your life.
 CREATE THE IDEAL MENTAL IMAGE YOU WANT TO REALIZE
When it comes to this there is no real here theory, but neither is it about guesswork! Too many have shrouded these simple thinkings in woo-woo, but there is nothing secret about them! In fact they are so plain that everyone can understand them if they are just explained for what they are ... manifesting routines. Manifest your new life, manifest the confidence within and by doing so you have a secondary gain of manifesting success.
 FAST MANIFESTING PROCESS Clear out the clutter and start manifesting. However, there is one caveat I do give and that is before you commence manifesting the millions, first you have to do a little bit of in-house cleaning. What I mean is to have a mental house-cleaning! Once that is in order then you can go onto manifesting in an unhindered way without the fear of change hang-ups holding you back.

That step of overcoming fear is the only thing you need do before moving on to the BIG manifesting stage, because if your head is not right then forget the next step! Once you have done the main house cleaning then all you need do is maintain it on a daily basis with a light clean.

This practical method will come to be an everyday habit. The reward of this is a far stronger conscious realization of your ability to adjust your thought faculties. If you think you cannot do it then think again! I did if, and I do it daily. I had a rather harrowing dip whereby I was zapped of nearly just about every morsel of energy within me, physically, mentally and spiritually! When I say spiritually I do not mean as in THE spiritual sense, but rather in the psyche sense ... as I am not a spiritual person.

I had to do the mental clearing and reframing to get back to where I am now, and in fact I have transcended where I left off. So you see, at times these low points can be quite a good thing. They get you digging down right into the very core of you. Phew, and isn’t it just gory when you get into it all! But … it’s worth it, as the new you will thank you for it.

So get clearing out that mind clutter and get manifesting … Discover how you can secure the confidence to challenge your fears in my 7 Day Confidence and Ego-Boost Affirmation Plan. See it here.

I was curious to see what one of the online dictionaries would come up with on the word “winning”. Here is one of the definitions:

“Of or relating to the act of winning: drew the winning number in the lottery.”

It actually related to many with high hopes of success and becoming winners in life! I wasn’t even trying, yet the creative power of my thought had given me the idea of the word “winning” and then the dictionary linked it to manifesting wealth, synchronistic or what?

That led me to think that this power to think and attract in such a way is common to all. Our power to think is infinite, consequently that means our creative power is unlimited!

So I drifted off into some other thoughts, I just let my mind wander without me consciously steering it and I came up with:

The only way is to keep going forward. Ceaseless attention isn’t what creates success. Yes, give one thought the initial boost it needs, and want it like a lifeline to a new life, a new beginning, a new whatever! Then just let it go!

Good things come in threes, so my mind wandered to how, firstly, in order to manifest in the waking states you must first have self-belief in your ability. Then, secondly, dare to dream BIG! And thirdly, have the ongoing faith that what you want to have happen will happen.

Hmm these Zen Satori moments I was having were certainly paying off big style! And that’s how Einstein used to do it! He used to hold a ball in his hand and sit in his favorite chair, let his hand hang over the side and then nod off. Of course as he nodded off, the ball would fall from his hand and land on the floor and stir him to consciousness. That was the moment he would find his mind to be more creative, and that is just about what I have been doing prior to and during the writing of this post.

We have to believe that the thought we have is piecing together for us the thing we are thinking of and is actually carrying it closer and closer to us!

During a Zen Satori moment we have zero fear, zero anxiety and zero melancholy. All we have are powerful thought forces, yet in the fully conscious state our self-limiting beliefs can continually send the things we actually desire further away from us!

So get into those Zen Satori moments and find your thoughts becoming omnipotent! Discover the power of your infinite mind at your command. Discover how you can develop a winning mindset to manifest your ideal life when you follow Law of Attaction Coaching by Stephen Richards. See more here.
