[00:00:00.720] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
Thank you so much for joining me today. In this episode, I want to talk about the law of attraction and kind of demystify it for anyone who’s new to it or who has tried to use manifesting techniques and have failed or haven’t seen the results you’re looking for. When I was first introduced to the Law of Attraction, let me start first with, I grew up in a very Christian household. We went to church all the time. Like, that was my life, was living in church.
[00:00:37.050] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
And while I am religious and spiritual, I always felt like there was something missing from understanding, you know, the role that God played in my life and understanding, you know, how to talk to God, how to be open that way. So in 2006, I was introduced to The Secret by a good friend of ours. And it blew my mind because I watched this movie and it talked about, you know, the law of attraction.
[00:01:11.880] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
And it just made sense. It was almost like the missing piece. And once I started really diving into it, I realized it’s very much like the Bible. So in the movie The Secret, they talk about the three steps to manifesting whatever it is that your heart desires or whatever God has put on your heart is to ask, believe, receive. So you asked for what you want. You believe you can get it, and then you allow it to come into your life.
[00:01:43.830] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
Now, if you’re like me, it’s like, this is amazing. This is great. But how do I actually implement this? So it started for me as this journey of devouring and this has been a 14-year journey now of just devouring everything I could find on this subject because I’m so interested in how our brains work, how just, everything, when it comes to the metaphysical stuff. And so I started learning. And from this learning, I built my own system
[00:02:20.730] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
and I’m going to take you through it briefly. This is something I am definitely going to build a course around to help you dive even further. And I think I’m going to structure it for entrepreneurs because you guys are close to my heart. I am an entrepreneur. I’m a serial entrepreneur. I love business. I love talking about it. But I like business in a whole different way. You know, I like the possibilities of building something from the ground up.
[00:02:46.540] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
And so I’m going to create a course around this. But for now, I’m going to give you the basic steps so that you can start implementing this now and really help you structure how the law of attraction works. OK. So the law of attraction, in the most basic terms, is like attracts like. So what you’re focusing on all the time is what you’re bringing into your existence. So if you’re always thinking about, you know, I never have enough money, I never have enough money, that’s going to be what you see in your everyday life.
[00:03:16.770] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
If you’re thinking about I’m not loved, you know, nobody loves me, that’s what you’re going to see in your everyday life. So it’s what your thoughts are, what your feelings are. The more you focus on things, the more of that experience you bring into your life, whether it’s good, bad, indifferent. There’s nothing matters. It’s a universal law. OK. So when I first started this again, I was just like, this is great.
[00:03:43.500] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
Ask, you just, you know, believe, receive. Wow. But I wasn’t sure how to implement it. So I created a system called COAST, the COAST Goal System. And this breaks down into the acronyms, you know, COAST. So C is for clarity. And when I say clarity, it means getting super clear on your goal, whatever it is that you want to achieve. You need to have a crystal clear picture of it. OK. So if you’re wanting to build a business, let’s say, you want to get five new clients this month.
[00:04:21.180] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
That’s great. You know. But you really need to dive a little bit deeper, you know. So map out the revenue that you would get from five, let’s say you charge a thousand dollars per client. And you say to yourself, OK, so that’s five thousand dollars I’ll bring in this month. What can I do with this five thousand dollars? And write out what you would do with this extra five thousand dollars. Because it’s not the money that you want,
[00:04:46.260] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
it’s what you can do with the money. I see so many people getting this hiccup of, you know, I want to attract more money. And I think it’s the biggest thing that most people want. And money really isn’t energy. It’s nothing. So it’s the story that you have behind money. It’s the feelings you have about money. The emotions that come up when you think of money that really attract your money into your life or keep it away.
[00:05:13.530] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
So I would dive down deep. I make a list of, you know, what I would do with the 5000 dollars. And then from there, now you’re crystal clear. I want this because of this. I want five thousand dollars so I can take my family on a luxurious vacation in 2021 when everything’s back to normal. I want to be able to, you know, put a down payment on a really nice car. I want to be whatever your goal are, you know, goals are.
[00:05:40.560] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
I want to be able to, you know, put money into savings. Whatever it is, whatever lights you up, mates. As long as you get this feeling of like, yes, this is it. I want this. Then you’re on the right track. OK, so you have clarity now. You know your goal. Next is O and it’s for open-minded belief. You have to stop caring about how the money or the goal comes to you, whatever your goal is.
[00:06:05.130] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
I’m going to use money. I’m going to keep using it. It’s a lot easy for me to talk about. Whatever the goal is, though, don’t care how it comes to you. Don’t get so wrapped up in the details because that’s God’s job or the universe, whatever. That’s His job. Your job is to stay in a feeling place of feeling good. OK. Your job is to focus on the goal that you set. So if open-minded belief means, you know, I don’t care how it’s going to come to me. I don’t care,
[00:06:37.080] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
you know. I believe it’s on its way and I don’t care how. I’m open minded about this. I have faith as little as a mustard seed. You know, I talk a lot about that itty little bit of faith. It’s all you need to see your goal actualize. OK. So you have to believe it’s coming to you and you have to not care anymore about the way that it shows up. And you, I mean, if you’re an analytical type of person, this might be really difficult.
[00:07:03.390] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
So my tip to you would be write down all the ways this can happen. Just make a list and you’ll see, as you keep going and ask yourself, like, how can this happen? Like, what are some ways that can I, you know, not I can make this happen. I was about to say that. But that’s not what you want to say. It’s like, how many ways can this come to me and how many ways can I even think about this that I not even really thinking about that are so far out there.
[00:07:29.790] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
Go as far as you want and you’ll see how many possibilities are actually out there. OK. The next step is anticipation. All right. If you are, if you celebrate Christmas, you know, as a kid, Christmas morning was like the best time in the world. Why? Because you were so excited. You made your list. You knew what you were getting. And it’s the best time ever. And if you don’t have that experience, even your birthday or something that you really look forward to that you knew was coming.
[00:08:07.110] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
What did you do? You prepared for it. You would probably sit there mentally thinking about all the things you were going to do. The toys you were going to get. This is what anticipation is. So now that you have your goal, you are open to it. It can come from anywhere. Get excited about this goal. Expect it to come. So if you’re trying to attract money, clear out your wallet. You know, start clearing out is one of the best ways to allow more in.
[00:08:37.650] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
I mean, I have gone through moments where I just declutter like crazy. I hate clutter to begin with. And it always attracts new clients for me. And so start, you know, making room in your wallet for some money. Go to the bank, take out a hundred dollar bill, you know, put it in your wallet so that you see it all the time. And every time you see it, we’re going to get into this on the last letter,
[00:08:59.360] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
but every time you see it, say, wow, thank you for all the money that comes into my life. What else can you do for anticipation? So anticipation is backed with something else and I want to make this clear. Because a lot of people get into this moment of, you know, great, I’m excited for it and looking forward to this coming in to my life. But what do I actually do?
[00:09:22.230] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
OK, so this is called inspired action and this works hand-in-hand with anticipation. Because when you’re excited for something, you’re not sitting around just waiting for it. You know, you’re doing stuff. You’re thinking about it all the time. You are preparing for it in a way. You have to. This is where your instincts come in, your gut instinct. Your feelings are going to start guiding you on this path to more money or whatever your goal is.
[00:09:55.380] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
Your job is to trust those feelings. So if someone says something to you, like, I’m just throwing this out there, you know. This is not a financial blog or a podcast. Sorry. This is not a financial podcast so don’t take any of my advice that way. But some say this stock has been doing great for me. It’s so great, blah, blah, blah. And they go on this whole story about it and then it just sparks your interest for some reason.
[00:10:21.090] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
So you look it up and you start getting involved there. Maybe you invest a little bit. It could be that, you know, you get a phone call from someone that you haven’t heard from in a long time that owes you money. They’re like, oh, my gosh, you know, I’m so sorry. Let me, you know, Venmo you real quick or else you would, like, whatever I owe you, we’re good.
[00:10:39.170] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
It can be anything. And I wish I can tell you what your inspired action is, but I can’t because it comes from God and it will. I will tell you this. It will feel so right. You won’t question it. It won’t be like, well, I could do this, but I don’t really want to. No, no. It’s not going to feel like that. It’s going to feel like, holy crap, this is exactly what I meant.
[00:11:05.520] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
This is what I’m meant to be doing right now in this moment and then go do it. OK. So that’s the anticipation. That’s inspired action. So that goes hand-in-hand. So now you have your goal. Your crystal clear on that. You are believing that it’s coming to you. You know exactly. You don’t care how it comes and you’re excited for it. You’re anticipating it. You’re waiting for it to come and you’re taking those inspired action. OK.
[00:11:31.430] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
The next step is S. S is for story time. OK. You can see it. You can script it. You can speak it. We are all so different and not everything work, you know, every thing works for anyone. No manifesting tool is universal. I am big on seeing it. I’m big on visualizing and I’m big on scripting. Speaking it into existence? Yes and no. So I can do that. I talked about it in another podcast about how I took the summer off by accident, but my go-to’s are seeing it.
[00:12:05.220] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
So that’s visualizing. So see yourself achieving the goal in the moment of or the moment after. Same thing for scripting. Scripting is basically you can think of it as like quantum leap journaling. Step into that moment and write it out as it is. And the last word is speak it. OK. So grab a really good friend who doesn’t believe that you’re crazy and start talking about your goal as if it’s already happened. Like, holy crap, you will never believe what happened.
[00:12:35.520] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
I log into my bank account today and there was an extra five thousand dollars in there and it was exactly the amount I needed to whatever your list was that you made at the beginning, to put this down payment on the car, to put money into savings to whatever it is. OK. That’s story time. So change your story. Just start talking about your life as you want it to be. And the last part, and this is my all time favorite.
[00:13:01.900] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
It’s T is for thanks. Gratitude is something that anybody can implement. You can be grateful at any moment of your life. It doesn’t require any skills. It doesn’t require any tools. You have everything you need already inside you. All you have to do is find something to be grateful for. And I like to say this a lot, because if you have a crystal clear goal and you believe it’s coming to you, you don’t care how it happens. You’re excited for it.
[00:13:38.930] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
Right. You’re following those gut instincts that are coming in, leading you on this path. You’ve changed your story now. You would not be asking for something again. You would not be sitting there saying, God, why don’t I have five thousand dollars? Like, I really need this money. And why is it not here yet? I really want to be able to put money into savings. I really want to be able to whatever it is, you wouldn’t be doing that if every other step was complete, right?
[00:14:11.250] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
What would you be doing instead? You’d be thanking, thanking God or the universe or whatever you call it, thanking for this blessing, saying, wow, thank you for this five thousand dollars. It’s coming my way. Thank you. Say it. Thank you so much that I am being blessed. Thank you that I’m already blessed. But thank you for the new blessings that are coming my way. Thank you for the opportunities that are coming my way.
[00:14:36.990] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
And this is why I say, you know, if you have money in your bank account, look at that. Thank you so much for the money that I have now and for the money. And no one just say thank you and not have any feeling behind it. Honestly. Get behind it in feeling. Like, feel the gratitude. Actually, be thankful. And having that money sitting in your wallet or your pocket, whatever.
[00:15:03.150] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
And every time you touch it, just smile. Thank you so much. Thank you for all the blessings in my life. Thank you for the blessings that are coming into my life. And just honestly, if you can do this one thing, this will change your life in itself. So together, though, this is the system I use to, this is my use to build my business. This is the system I used to have my children, to have houses, cars, vacations and everything that I’ve had in my life has been using COAST.
[00:15:38.070] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
And this isn’t, 14 years. This has been built over 14 years. This is not even something that is just brand new that comes off the top of my head. I use it every day. So I wanted to share that with you and kind of just give you some insight. So if you’re struggling at all with the law of attraction, how to implement it, try this. And if it works, let me know. You know, I’m always good for feedback.
[00:16:01.260] – Rachel W. (The Visualization Freak)
If you find something else that has helped you, let me know. You know, I love to learn from others as much as I love to teach. All right. That’s what I have today. Thank you guys so much for giving me your time. And I will see you on the next episode.
