The Life Gains Game is a mental journey you can take to drop the baggage we all carry about WANTING something. You know that baggage? I can’t afford it. My family needs too much for me to splurge like that. I have too much stuff already. The Life Gains Game clears out all that chatter and emotion, so that you can plant the seeds of what you really want in fertile ground.
And it works. If you have ever collaged a vision board, you know the power of setting your desire to work for you. The joy in the game is to remember that wanting actually takes very little effort. If you’re trying too hard, you’re stuck in some old belief. Practice clearing the field with The Life Gains Game, and watch what you want show up in your life, sometimes out of thin air! Gratitude is the goal.
LESS
1. Think of a time that you had less than you have now.
2. What were your emotions about what you did have at that time?
3. Do you remember what the relationships in your life were like?
4. How did you spend your time?
MORE
1. Think of a time that you had more than you have now.

3. Do you remember what the relationships in your life were like then?
4. How did you spend your time?
GIVE
1. Identify five items in your house this week to give to someone you know.
(Go ahead. What have you been meaning to clear out? What do you never use anymore, or what do you possess that someone else would value more?)
2. Give the items away.
3. How does this feel?
4. What was your recipient’s reaction?
GIVE MORE
1. Identify five items this week to give to someone you don’t know.
2. How does this feel?
3. What was that person’s reaction?
RECEIVE
1. Identify five things that someone has given to you, or five things that have come into your life without any effort at all.
2. How did it feel to receive them?
3. Think of items you have received with no effort at all, basically that you have created out of thin air.
NOW…
End the exercise by thinking of one item, idea, or goal you have that would require little or no effort to achieve. Draw it, cut it out of a magazine, write a word that represents it, and put that image or word in a strategic place. (For instance, I really want a new pair of Pumas. So I clipped out a picture and put them on my bathroom mirror.)
Watch what happens. I guarantee you, life will begin moving into action around your desire: either you’ll start receiving in mysterious ways, or your perception will outgrow your initial desire. Either way, satisfaction is around the corner, and baggage is out the window.
This is excellent guidance given out to all on intent.com.
