Write It Down, Make It Happen: Knowing What You Want And Getting It

My dear friend Katia told me about this book when we were talking about writing down our dreams and thoughts and how the act of writing in a physical notebook helps you process where you are stuck in your mind and what may be in your way and what's behind your frustration and anxiety. she swears by this book and so I grabbed a physical copy and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Half-way through the book, I set it down and started to do as it preached. I've always written down things too but not as systematically as I should. I've been a blogger, a writer, an author and so I've done the structured working but we're talking about personal journaling and being very specific about manifesting your goals through writing. To be totally honest, I'm not 100% sold on "The Secret" and the simple idea that ask and you shall receive. Perhaps that is the skeptical side of me. I feel that you have to do the work, take the actions and MAKE things happen, and YET, there is so much in this book that gives this another dimension. I respect writing on so many levels that if you told me gold and diamonds would pop out from me writing about them, I might take you up on it ;) OK half kidding but there's no arguing with the immense and hidden powers of Writing Things Down. Writing is medicine; writing is therapy; writing is joy! If everyone of us wrote our way out of our frustrations and problems, there would be more joy and far less pain, but enough preaching about writing. This book takes you through the very specifics of how writing down what you want will lead to you getting it. It's not a straight path, and I love the zigzags along the way. For instance, if you're not getting it, and you're writing it down and doing the work, then something is stopping you; either you are not ready for it, or you are blocking it by something you are doing subconsciously, or you are not seeing that it has already happened to you in other ways. You will find so many creative ways to enhance the writing down part. Klauser talks you through so many wonderful ideas to give you a complete system. Some of my favorites are the following: - Writing through to resolution: This one is to help you get clarity if you feel stuck. - Focusing on the Outcome: "Hold it in your mind that you want a pool" chapter. Staying encouraged. - Stacking Goals, Raising the Bar: "A girl who has done X can definitely do this!" Thinking about a big achievement in your life and reminding yourself that you've gone for something bigger in the past. There are lots and lots of stories of people that the author weaves in to make her point including experiences of herself, and in fact, there is about 80% story and 20% theory or context. This isn't my favorite style of writing but it worked well and it was done creatively. The stories were good. She also gives you exercises relevant to your own writing at the end of each chapter, and if only for that reason, I would recommend getting a physical copy of this book, and this from a true Kindle-lover I assure you but physical books still have their place in this world.

I bought this book because I was looking for a book to help a better way of scripting the only thing I don’t agree on if your writing in a gratitude journal not to write your fears down cause then it will show lack I understand the resolution part that’s something I would write on a seperate piece of paper. In the journal I would write positive thoughts and goals you want to achieve I had a gratitude journal once I a lost it. So I thought I could not write in another one and you can. Took a while for me to realize that and let my old journal go. When I did have that journal I put a picture of someone in the journal I had a fall out with I said I wanted to be on friendly terms with this person and after I wrote it things moved immediately after I wrote it that month so it’s not just what you wrote down but you have to affirm it to and see it in your mind to. So words are powerful but you need the other components to. Getting off the topic this book was a good read when it came to the exercises at the and the story’s were lengthy good example on some stories. I bought this book because a lot of the reviews people claim they wrote it down what they wanted and it happened

This is an excellent book that motivates you to examine what you want from life. Each chapter ends with an assignment that helps you formalize your ideas. Her thought is, not only do we motivate ourselves and our subconscious by writing our thoughts and plans and dreams down, but in turn the energy of the outside world becomes more focused for us as well. I really do believe this. I haven't done all of the assignments yet, but I intend to. Ironically some of the examples and assignments she suggests, I have done in ignorance of this book and the results are just what she predicted, so I know it works. What I particularly like is that this book is not a "Rah, Rah", happy yuppie book, like some of the ones out there but a more thoughtful approach for a person to carve out the life they want. This could work for many walks of life and is just not applicable for the middle to upper class income. We all have dreams, when we put them on paper we are quite a bit closer to realizing them they we ever thought. The table of contents is below so you have an idea what is covered.

O livro fala do que acredito, no momento: como podemos atrair coisas boas escrevendo-as, colocando-as sob o foco e movimentando-se nessa direção.

要するに、紙に目標を書いて、その目標をじゃんじゃん達成してしまおうという本です。 最初は目標を立てることの重要性が書いてあり、それから実際に目標を立てる方法、達成する方法と進みます。 １００％理解しようという強迫観念を抜け出せば、結構気楽に読めるし、頭にも入ってきます。 実例が豊富で、読みやすいです。

Amé este libro. Soy fan de las técnicas de escritura y este libro me encantó.

I already have the habit of keeping a journal and writing my dreams and goals. But i never thought of it very seriously and after reading this book, i came to understand that there's more in writing things down than you think. I highly recommend this to people who feel confused and frustrated in the journey of life and to people who want to live a prosperous happy life.
