Whenever you get confused, it’s often super helpful to pause and clarify your intentions.Just declare what you actually want in a sentence or two. Express it aloud or in writing. Then let it sink in and see how your body, mind, and feelings react to it.

Clarify Your Intentions

Reality can be very accommodating when you’re clear about asking for what you want.If you don’t tell reality what you want, it has to guess. And it evaluates the accuracy of its guesses based on your responses (i.e. your actions and behaviors).

Are You Frustrating Reality?

Don’t sit down at a table in a restaurant to order if you’re not ready and hungry for your next meal.Instead of acting confused about what to do, just rest in the state of not being hungry for any fresh goals yet.Don’t chase after partial matches. Give your hunger some time to build up first.

The Restaurant Metaphor

You can never set too many intentions. Even speaking your intentions aloud 100+ times per day, updating them moment by moment as you go, isn’t too much.Once you get enough practice, it should take you just a few seconds to set an intention. It’s as simple as asking, “What do I want for dinner?”.An intention doesn’t have to be complicated to inspire action. Even a very simple intention that you verbalize in a second or two has value.

Set Intentions Daily

Confusion is the the default choice for many people because they haven’t voiced the desire for something better.If you’re stuck in confusion, it’s because you’ve haven’t chosen and declared your intention for a lifestream that glides from one clear decision to the next.

Confusion is a Choice

If you really want to transform your life in a huge way, set the intention to transcend partial matches.See those either-or decisions for the traps they are. When you spot a decision like that, decline to make it.

Transcend Partial Matches

Many people live their life in confusion which leads to many problems at any decision gate. This article contains useful insight about the importance of clarifying our intentions in order to be always mindful about our actions and decisions.

When You’re Confused, Clarify Your Intentions – Steve Pavlina

A common question that we ask ourselves is "How come when I wholeheartedly intend X to happen, I still get the opposite of X?"﻿For example… How come when I intend wealth, I’m still poor? How come when I intend a new relationship, I’m still alone? How come when I intend a new career, I’m still stuck in the old one?

A common question about intention-manifestation

Intention-manifestation always works. When it seems like it isn’t working, the reason is that while you’re correctly putting out the intention for what you want, you’re also putting out the intention to continue manifesting what you don’t want. And you’re probably doing a lot more of the latter than the former, so if your situation changes at all, it will happen very slowly. Due to the slow change, most people give up on their positive intentions long before they have a chance to manifest.

Intention-manifestation "always" works

If you’re in a situation you don’t want to be in, and you observe it or notice it, you’re thinking about it. That means you’re intending its continuation.

<ol><li>All thought is creative. Every thought is an intention, including your perceptions. Observation is active creation, not passive witnessing. There’s no such thing as observation without creation.</li><li>100% responsibility. You’re 100% responsible for everything that exists in your reality. If you perceive it, you created it.</li><li>Only the present is real. You only have power in this present moment; the past and future are merely projections you’re creating right now.</li><li>No denial. You cannot uncreate what you’ve already manifested. Once something has manifested in your reality, it’s too late to uncreate it. </li></ol>

Rules of intention-manifestation

The key is that when you observe your current reality, you always observe with a bias. Your bias is rooted in your beliefs, but let’s simplify that model to just three general biases: positive, negative, or neutral. All observation can be assigned one of these three bias values.Assuming you intend your situation to improve, which of these three observational biases makes the most sense? Clearly the positive one bias is the way to go.

All observation is creatively biased

This is precisely why a positive mental attitude is effective. Attitude is absolutely critical. If you spend time focusing on your positive intentions, but you also observe your present situation in either a neutral or negative way, you’re wasting your time.This is why you don’t get thin by harboring thoughts like, “I hate being fat.” Instead, you must acknowledge your present overweight body while latching onto the hope that your momentum is headed towards your goal weight.

Why a positive attitude is critical

You’ll achieve your goals if you observe your present reality with a positive momentum in the direction of your goals. But if you set a goal and observe your present situation with a negative or neutral bias, then your goals have no power to induce change.

How to reach your goals

Creative Observation – Steve Pavlina

In Sanskrit, karma literally means “action.” According to experts, there are often misconceptions about what karma really is and how it applies to our lives.What exactly is karma?Tejal Patel, a meditation and mindfulness expert, looks at karma as a cycle of cause and effect that’s about action, not result. “Karma is a philosophy of how to live our lives so we can truly become the best version of ourselves and live the most fulfilling life we desire.” And since the future isn’t set in stone, Patel says we can change the path of our life by the choices, thoughts, and deeds we choose right now.

What Are the 12 Laws of Karma?

When most people talk about karma, they’re likely referring to the great law of cause and effect, Patel says. According to this law, whatever thoughts or energy you put out, you get back — good or bad. In order to get what you want, you have to embody and be worthy of those things. It’s the concept of what you reap, you sow.“For example, if you want love in your life, be loving to yourself,” she says.

Law # 1 - The great law or the law of cause and effect

The law of creation underscores the importance that life doesn’t just happen to us. To make things happen in your life, you need to take action, instead of waiting for something to magically come your way. You are the co-creator of making what you want, based on your intentions,” Patel says. She recommends asking yourself what you need to release so you can create space for the thing you desire to show up. Also consider how you can use your skills, talents, and strengths to create something that not only benefits you but others, too.

# 2 - The law of creation

According to Paul Harrison, creator of The Daily Meditation, the law of humility is based on the principle that you must be humble enough to accept that your current reality is the result of your past actions. For example, if you’re blaming your colleagues for your poor performance at work, Harrison says you must accept that you created this reality by not performing as well as you could have.

# 3 - The law of humility

Growth starts within us. To positively shape the world, you need to start with yourself. That’s because real change or personal growth begins with what you have control over, which is yourself, not others. The law of growth also looks at the things you can’t control and how you deal with accepting this fate. Ultimately, your focus should be on you, not trying to control the people or things around you.

#4 - The law of growth

Alex Tran, a yoga instructor based in Seattle, Washington, says the law of responsibility is her favorite law to teach in class. “It’s a reminder that you own what happens to you in life. It’s a great reminder that what happens to you is because of you. This eliminates the opportunity for you to look outward to find the cause of your problems,” Tran explains. She likes to use this to describe the karma law of responsibility: “You are the product of the choices you make.”

#5 - The law of responsibility

This law is based on the principle that everything in your life, including your past, present, and future, are connected. “Who you are today is the result of your previous actions,” Harrisons says. And who you will be tomorrow will be the result of your actions today.

#6 - The law of connection

Focusing on too many things at once can slow you down and lead to frustration and negativity. That’s why the law of focus encourages you to concentrate on one thing at a time. “If you focus on higher values like love and peace, then you’re less likely to be distracted by heavy feelings of resentment, greed, or anger,” Patel says.

#7 - The law of focus

You must give to the things you believe in. This law helps you understand the importance of your actions, reflecting your deeper beliefs. For example, if you want to live in a peaceful world, you need to focus on cultivating peace for others, Harrison explains.

#8 - The law of giving and hospitality

To experience peace of mind, you have to embrace the present. This can only happen when you let go of negative thoughts or behaviors from your past. If you get too focused on past events, you’ll keep reliving them. One exercise Patel recommends to get in touch with the here and now is to get rooted into your senses. “Look around the room you are in, focus your eyes on something, blink, and say ‘I am here,’” she says.

#9 - The law of here and now

According to this principle, history will continue to repeat itself until you learn from the experience and take steps to do something differently to stop the cycle. Change gives you a new path so that you can create a new future and a better version of yourself, free from the patterns of the past.

#10 - The law of change

To generate change in the future, Harrison says we must be consistent in our karmic deeds today. “It’s no good living healthily for one day and then sabotaging it in the next,” he says. Be consistent in your goals, and they will come to fruition.

#11 - The law of patience and reward

We all play a part and have something to contribute to this world. What we share may sometimes seem small to us but can make an enormous difference in someone else’s life. The law of significance and inspiration is a great law to focus on when you need a motivational boost or begin to feel like you don’t have a purpose or matter. According to this law, every contribution you make will affect the world. You have been born with a specific gift, mission, and purpose that only you can bring into the world with your uniqueness. Authentically sharing your skills and gifts is why you’re here.

#12 - The law of significance and inspiration

The 12 laws of karma can serve as a guideline or road map to follow as you go through your daily life. These laws can help you understand how karma really works, and the effect that your thoughts and actions can have on you and the world around you. Using karma as a set of guidelines in your life can incentivize you to be more mindful of your thoughts, actions, and deeds before you make a decision.

Why To Make A Vision Board

Take a moment of self-reflection and figure out what’s most important to you, says Larry. Think about the one or two segments of your life you really want to change and focus on the words those sectors bring to mind. Then, decide if your vision board should represent short-term or long-term change.

consider what matters most to you.

It's time to hunt through your old stashes for visual representations of your goal. Or, you can always print images you see on Pinterest and Instagram.If you want to make improvements to your kitchen, for example, you can clip a picture of a home that inspires you. Or, perhaps you'd like to finally take a vacation day. In that case, find yourself a palm tree pic and some glue.Simply you can also use online images.

get out your magazines.

Think of your vision board as a living thing—rip things off, add things, or start from scratch if you're so inclined. And be open to variations of what you want to achieve. For example, if your goal is to go vegan, don't beat yourself up if you're more of a vegetarian after six months or so.

 don't be afraid to make updates...  

The trick is to make sure any words you use are short and the images you choose are vivid, attractive, and glossy, so your vision board regularly catches your eye

put your vision board,  somewhere you can see it.

Speak it into existence: Patel notes that one powerful way to use your board for manifesting is to look at it as you list the things you want to create in your life out loud.Leave some spaces open: By leaving a little open space on our board, you'll leave room for the things you want to attract.Let your board inspire action: As the law of attraction explains, simply visualizing your goal isn't enough—you need to take action too! Let the board serve as a reminder to take small steps toward your goals regularly.

How to use your vision board.

As time goes on and your goals evolve, your board will absolutely need the occasional refresher. How often you spruce yours up and how much you change about it is up to you. Perhaps you're craving a total revamp, or maybe you just want to swap out a few images and quotes or affirmations.Again, as with anything related to the law of attraction, you'll need to take action in achieving your goals. But with the help of your newly crafted vision board providing daily inspiration, you'll be one step closer to manifesting anything it is you're looking for.

 How often does it need to be updated?

This can consist of many things such as pictures, favorite quotes, memories/memorabilia, postcards or cards, and more.Here are some examplesYou alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anyone.To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.If a flower can flourish in the desert you can flourish anywhereI trust the universe to bring me everything in the right time.

Put Ideas On Your Board That Inspires You

You should never burden yourself.Free yourself from the burden of feeling the need to hold on to anything. Let go… you are a part of everything.It's okay<ul><li>To make mistakes</li><li>To have bad days</li><li>To be less than perfect</li><li>To be yourself</li><li>To do what's best for you.</li></ul>

Vision boards provide you with a daily visual reminder of your dreams and goals. The reason that vision boards work so great is because you visually see them every day. Visualization is one of the most popular and effective mind workouts that you can do.
