You may pay your taxes and stop at red lights, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you haven’t been breaking a few laws.  I’m speaking about universal laws. The one you’re probably most familiar with is the law of gravity. There’s no disputing it. What goes up must come down. That’s simple enough. But did you know there are other laws that govern your life every day with the same power and consistency as gravity?

Whether you believe in these laws or not, they are working in your life. So why not use them to help you achieve your project-management goals? Here are three to start with.

The word “surrender” can be charged with negative emotions. Most people equate it with giving up or giving in. They may see it as a sign of weakness but it can actually be one of the strongest strategies in your virtual toolbox. That’s because surrender can also mean to release that illusion of control and trust in the infinite intelligence of the universe–the source that is always conspiring for our highest good.

Stymied by a challenge with your current project? Searching for a job or a healthier lifestyle? Seeking your true purpose in life and how to align that with your work? Simply make an intention that you are open to receive guidance. Set aside some quiet time each day for inspiration and renewal. Be aware of the synchronicities and coincidences that will lead you to fresh ideas and opportunities. Spend time in nature and with others who understand and appreciate the power of surrendering.

If this is difficult for you, start with something inconsequential like choosing a restaurant for this weekend. Be open to guidance and I bet a friend will rave about a new place in town or you’ll read an enticing review in the paper.

Today, choose a challenge that you’ve struggled with and surrender it. Author Marianne Williamson says it best: “Let’s forgive the past and who we were then. Let’s embrace the present and who we are capable of becoming. Let’s surrender the future and watch miracles unfold.”

What’s on your goal list? Creating an ideal project team, getting promoted, finding a new job? Use affirmations to lead the way.

Affirmations are powerful statements to remind us of our magnificent potential, despite what others may say or when our own ego plants that seed of doubt. Some people resist using affirmations. They think it’s too simplistic or that the practice is out of integrity because they are stating something that may not be true yet. Since all reality begins in thought form, affirming what you want to be true is the fastest way to get there.

Most people are inclined to think and say (to themselves and others) statements that prevent them from moving in the direction of their goals, like: “I’ll never get this project done or be promoted.” Affirmations help counter that habit with constructive, supportive thoughts. The most effective affirmations are short, positive and in the present. You might choose affirmations that state what you want to achieve, like: “This project runs smoothly every step of the way.”
