Use The Law of Attraction to make your telephone conversations more productive.
Ring! Ring!!
Thank the goddess for caller ID. You've been waiting for this call. You need to talk to Ms. Brooks, but you're not ready. What do you do, pick up the phone or risk missing out? No, wait, You HAVE to answer this call. How can you make the most of it?
There is a third way to handle the call. It puts you firmly in control of this opportunity because you're going to put the Law of Attraction to work for you.
First you answer the telephone:
"Hi, this is Tracey." When Ms. Brooks identifies herself, you say, "Thanks for calling. I'm eager to talk to you. Can you hold on for a second, please?"
…and then you say to yourself, What is it that I most want to achieve in this conversation? I want to uplift the other person. I want to be understood. I want the other person to understand me, and I want the other to be positively influenced in the direction of my desire. Indeed, I want the other to be stimulated and excited by my words. Indeed, I want this to be a successful conversation. Then, when you come back on the line, you have prepaved [the way to a successful outcome]. And now, that other one will respond to you much more in accordance with your desire than if you had not taken the time.

When you're the caller, you pick the time that's right for you. When you're the callee, you don't have that luxury. But you don't have to be at the caller's mercy. This exercise of segment intending helps you
- clarify what you want
- focus on it
- draw power to it, and
- build your confidence
Can you use segment intending with each part of your day? You bet! I use it to keep myself safe and happy while surfing, to ensure my well being while driving, and lots of other times. Try it.
I look forward to reading your comments.
