I found some old notebooks the other day, ones where I had made a note of my 'wish lists'. The books dated back to 1999 when I was still teaching English and we'd been in Italy five years. I was amazed to find that almost all the things I had on my lists had happened. I wanted to write full time - check, to restore the house we were living in then - check, to then move house - check and to find a house which was 'private and not isolated' on the edge of a village. Check again.
Wish lists are powerful things and have a tremendous impact on your subconscious, which beavers away in the background fulfilling them in whatever ways it can. Needless to say I have a new wish list and have also made a slideshow with affirmations and music which I am watching when I remember. Pictures are even more powerful than words for your subconscious (even for a writer!)
Maybe this time I should add a time limit as I got what I wanted last time but it took ten years!
