Although it may seem counterintuitive, I am not much of a ‘how” thinker when it comes to getting something I desire.  Instead I focus on the feelings and the energy around my desire.  I focus intention on the specifics of what I want.  I use an unpleasant situation to clarify what a pleasant one would feel like.  I imagine being in that beautiful place that is the desire fulfilled.

The how will take care of itself when your energy is focused with intention.  I will clearly know, and easily accomplish the steps when my energy is focused on the outcome.  I broke a thick board once with my bare hand.  I was focused on my fist being on the other side of that board, not on how it was going to make it through that wood.  It was much easier than it looked.  It had nothing to do with how the wood would break from physical force.  That was secondary to the outcome I expected.

Now, with all of that being said, there is another phenomena that has to do with all of this “how” talk.  We can easily limit ourselves to certain acceptable ways of achieving those things we desire.

If you believe the only way to financial freedom is hard work, you are going to be working hard to get those dollars you desire.  If you open your mind a little more, you have more opportunity to get it faster.  Maybe you can’t quite get in a place where you relax enough to forget about the “how”.  What’s the next best thing to do?  It’s to give yourself lots of possible “hows”,ways which you will accept your desire coming into being.  Maybe you could also believe that you can gain financial freedom from a lottery ticket, a mysterious inheritance, a treasure in the attic, a novel you write, an idea for an invention.  Do you see where I am going here?  the more ways you would accept something, the more avenues the universe has to answer and still be in alignment with your beliefs.

Take out a sheet of paper.  At the top write one specific situation or thing which you desire.  Below that begin to write ways you can imagine achieving it.  Get creative.  Let your mind wander.  Write some more even after you think there is no more to write.  Add to that list as other “hows” come into your mind.  You are expanding your consciousness.  You are opening yourself up to marvelous possibilities.

Even if you are not yet at a place where you can let go of all of those “to do” and “how” steps to achieve something, this exercise will get you closer.
