Something simple, something that can be done by anyone, something repeatable. For that we'll have to use statistics.
Get a coin which you will only use for this experiment while you're doing it. A place where you won't be disturbed for a few minutes a day. Paper and pen.
Examine the coin carefully until both sides feel familiar. Pick one side. Now see that side in your mind's eye as what you will see when you flip the coin. Important: not "I want it" but "I will see it when I flip it".
Now flip the coin. Do an honest flip, letting the coin hit a hard surface. When you see the side you chose feel good about it. Give yourself a few seconds to enjoy the feeling. When you see the other side don't express any emotion, just continue. Do five flips, then STOP. Nothing magickal about five, just keep the number small.
Write down your result. Date, heads, tails. Also write down a quick description of your general condition or feeling that day. Do this every day with the same coin in the same place for the same number of times. Make sure you give yourself a little bit of good feeling every time you see the side you chose. Keep this up for a month or two.
What you're doing is setting up a habit pattern. The universe would normally tend toward equal distribution of both sides, but you're training your unconscious, via positive feedback, to use a some personal energy to bias the actions of a small portion of the universe toward the result that you have decided on. Do this repeatedly and you establish a habit in that small portion of the universe different from the normal.
Don't push it. Especially don't obsess about "want" or "will". Don't do long sessions; the unconscious has the attention span of a child and can quickly become uninterested. Take your time; like most experiments this is a slow, careful process.
Now look at your results. Is there a bias toward your choice? Did it increase with time? Did it vary with your level of feeling?
My original experiments were with dice. Results were obviously not according to chance. I'd be interested in what results you get.
