When you call yourself lazy or impatient or poor, you invoke two strong, powerful phenomena -- self-fulfilling prophecy andrepparttar 123864 law of attraction -- moving you towards greater laziness, impatience, or poverty. When you call yourself energetic or kind or prosperous, you also invoke those two mighty and unerring phenomena -- and move towards more energy, kindness, or riches.

Here's how Positive Postcards work . . .

First, write down seven positive traits about yourself. Next, obtain seven postcards. Write a note to yourself about each trait on a different postcard. When you are done, you will have seven postcards, each with a note to yourself about one ofrepparttar 123865 positive traits you listed.

"Dear Sally,

You are very imaginative.

Love,

Sally"

Or:

"Dearest, remarkable Sally,

You are wildly and wonderfully imaginative!

Much love and respect and affection to you, girl,
