Remember that teacher or coach that really made a difference in your life? Was there someone who really cared about you and inspired you to achieve more than you thought you could? What does it take for a teacher to make a profound difference in a child’s life?
Whether you teach piano, coach a minor league team, or instruct a fourth grade classroom in a public school, you can use the laws of attraction to inspire each student to achieve their goals. If you don’t know what the laws of attraction are, you should read some of the many books on the subject – it will change your life! Simply put, the laws of attraction state that your thoughts will attract and bring into your life the things you focus on the most. Therefore, in order for the Laws of Attraction to help you become an amazing teacher who brings out the best in each student, you must be very focused on the goals you have for each student and yourself. An effective way to do this is to keep a goals and insights journal for your students. Record the following information about each individual:
What general qualities do you really appreciate in the student?
What goals do you have for this student?
What goals does the student have for himself? If he doesn’t know, he needs to communicate and understand what the student wants to achieve with his lessons.
It is important to include in your journal your thoughts about your own teaching skills and goals. What skills do you have that help your students the most? What would you like to achieve in the future with your teaching job?
Remember, according to the Laws of Attraction, you will achieve everything you want if you continue to pay positive attention to that goal and truly believe it will happen.
Now, to kick-start the Laws of Attraction for you and your students, review your goals/appreciation journal for each student every day. Put all your focus on the positive! Constantly paying attention to a student’s lacking skills will make the Laws of Attraction work against your teaching goals for that student and nullify any progress you are making! As you review your journal and focus on each student, mentally wish them success in their learning adventures.
It won’t take long for you to quickly review your journal each day, and you’ll instantly begin to see a very positive change in attitude, not only in your students but also in yourself. You will set the stage for rapid progress and skill development. Not only will you begin to see a dramatic improvement in your students’ achievement, but your teaching career will become more fulfilling and joyful than you ever imagined!
