We have finally made it to Step 4 of this 5 step process.  This step may seem fairly simple, however, it will require a little more time, effort, and detail than the other steps.

STEP 4:  CLAIM IT!

Sounds simple, right?  Not if you truly want to get your life moving in the right direction! Claiming what you want in life is much more involved than just walking around making statements and empty demands from the Universe.  Over the past few months, I have found that when I not only SPEAK IT, but CLAIM IT by writing it down, the Universe is more likely to manifest my goals, dreams, and visions a lot sooner and more accurately than if I just say what it is that I want.

I currently use two different ways to CLAIM what I desire.  The first is by writing in a Gratitude Journal.  Basically, I write in a journal everyday about everything that I am grateful for.  Click here to learn more about Gratitude.

Another way to CLAIM IT, is to write in a Pray Rain Journal.  When you write in a Pray Rain Journal, you are writing as if whatever your dream is, has already manifested itself and you are simply journaling about how it feels to be living out your dream.  This helps me to stay focused on specific details of my goals, dreams, and visions.
