To keep it simple:
Drop your awareness/sense of feeling down into your heart/chest area, live, dream and set intentions from there as often as you can. It's why we put our hands on our hearts when trying to show sincerity. It's also why a lot of religious people, even if they don't really know why they do it, pray like this:
Religious aspects aside, doing your hands like that and even bowing your head concentrates your attention at the heart, which puts that loving energy behind whatever goal or intention you're contemplating. Aligning your goals, desires with the energy of your heart is something that is missing from a lot of "law of attraction" material and is why a lot of people don't believe it works. Their heart ain't really in it.
As for the habits and emotions...don't judge yourself too harshly, just take those things into the heart with you, forgive yourself, love yourself as you are from that space and let those emotions be processed through a filter of love rather than guilt or shame.
Peace fam.
Yeah I guess in some aspects, no ego involved. I feel like I'm smarter than I should be. I know better but bad habits and thinkings of the past have ruined momemtum/vibration. I know what I gotta do but struggle to do it. I gotta build momentum but I'm struggling..... Thanks for the words of wisdom BTW. I gotta align but I worry about negative consequences way too much... Sometimes being the superhero in your own story proves tough but I gotta do it.
