Receiving daily gifts in the form of meeting goals, expectations, and dreams doesn’t just happen. These things don’t just fall from the sky when we least expect them, and especially not if we don’t expect them to begin with. The modern human seems to be prone to negativity; in fact, we are catastrophists — expecting the worst, and dreading it on a loop.

Living in this cycle of worst-case scenario predictions keeps us from weighty disappointment when the worst happens, but also prevents us from manifesting the best. The Law of Attraction hardly needs a definition — we attract what we are, and we are what we attract. It’s the law. So when given the daily opportunity, why don’t we harness that power for good?

First of all, it’s harder than it seems. It’s not easy to look past all the possible not-so-favorable ways our day or experience can go. And in most cases, it’s a great idea to be prepared for the possible things that could go wrong. But in the grand scheme of life, shooting for the best, believing we can get there, and doing the work, one step at a time, is going to achieve greatness deserving of gratitude.

We’ve put together our founder Jen’s favorite morning routine for attracting exactly what she wants and needs each day. It’s a daily practice, and it’s not about asking for material things and having them — *plop* — simply arrive on our doorstep. It’s about aligning our thoughts and emotions with our goals right when we wake up each day, and focusing on them rather than peripheral worries that only distract us.
