Magic happens when you consciously direct your attention
Your attention is one of the most powerful things you own.
Where you put your attention, consciously or not, is where you put your energy, your life force. Directing your energy is a creative act. When you direct your own energy on purpose, you have what you need to create your life for yourself. When you collect up your energy and direct it towards the things you want to create, you are more successful at manifesting those things.
In order to do this, you might choose to pull your attention and energy back from the things you've been unconsciously directing it towards, especially if those things don't work for you.
Creating consciously begins with your focus
You may not fully appreciate how much value there is in your focus, in what you pay attention to.
For one thing, the simple act of putting your attention onto something helps to change that thing. Your attention, your focus on a thing shifts the energy of that thing. This is called the observer effect. According to Wikipedia: “In science, the term observer effect means that the act of observing will influence the phenomenon being observed.”
When you focus consciously on something, you have an effect on it. This is because where you put your focus is where you put your energy.
The act of creating consciously begins with your energy
Your energy vibration has a lot to say about what you are able to create.
Consciously or not, your energy is set at one vibration or another right now. You might be vibrating at a happy peaceful energy, or you could be caught up in a more challenging vibe of fear, resistance, and pain.
A happy vibration of energy makes it easier for you to visualize what you want, and to know it’s possible to attain it.
