sk. Believe. Receive. Ask the
universe for something, believe
it will happen - and it does. The
Law Of Attraction has long been, to quote
Alan Partridge, 'a political hot potato' in
the world of wellness. Revered by some,
vilified by others, it's been divisive since
Aussie writer Rhonda Byrne sent it global
in 2006 in her blockbuster book The Secret.
Spoiler alert: the premise can be boiled
down to those three simple words. Some
exponents insist it can create miracles;
feathers have been ruffled.
London-based Law Of Attraction Centre
aren't in it for the controversy. They prefer
a more therapeutic journey; to improve
your approach to life, rather than visualise
helicopters made of gold. As coach Tracy
Friend explains, request material things
and you'll only want more.

Desires I Would Like'. I urge you to try it:
it's harder than you might think, and if
you've read ex-Crystal Palace chairman
Simon Jordan's Be Careful What You
Wish For, you'll know some ambitions
are best left unfulfilled.
I share one of the five desires by way
of experiment: 'Balance is thriving,
a joyous place to work; everyone is
fulfilling personal dreams... We attract
the most inspirational people.' There's
more to it, but you get the idea. I also
name the actor Jeff Bridges, as someone
I'd personally love to be a cover star.
Tracy explains this is flawed; after all,
what if we get an incredible cover star,
yet I feel deflated because it's not Jeff?
It's a risk I'm prepared to take. I have a
picture of the great man placed by my
desk as a daily reminder.

BUILDING BRIDGES

LIFE ADVICE

We get down to the nitty gritty: I am tasked
with writing down 'Five Key Beliefs and

'Daily' is the keyword. If you want the
law to work, Tracy explains, you must
practice every day. As Jim Carrey - one
of its most famous advocates - told
Oprah, 'You can't just visualise and
go eat a sandwich.' It requires daily
discipline; 30 minutes a day is enough.
More exercises follow, and Tracy
explains the three things to endeavour
to achieve each day: 1) Relax and let go;
2) Make the best of current experiences;
3) Positively focus forward. Believer or
not, that's good life advice.
Does it work? Watch this space,
but I should make the most of this
opportunity now. So, do any of you
know Jeff Bridges? B

California Almond growers
are exploring new and
different ways in which we
could use this wondrous
nut. Here, we take a look
at the top five...
1. Flower pots & car
tyres Researchers are
exploring using modified
almond shells to improve
car tyres and strengthen
the recycled plastic in
dinnerware and plant pots.
2. Beer Almond hulls are
a good source of natural
sugars, so researchers have
extracted them for use in
brewing beer and hard cider.
3. Animal feed As they're full
of nutrients, almond hulls
make an excellent dairy feed.
4. Animal bedding
Almond shells keep animals
dry and comfortable.
5. Alternative energy
An almond tree enjoys a
25-year life cycle. Once
it's over, the tree is pulled
up and used to create
electricity via a process
called cogeneration.

"As a sustainable
chef, I like to know
what I eat is good
for the planet. A
handful of almonds
is the perfect
sustainable snack."
