The
Law of attraction
The
law of attraction, which was brought into the mainstream through
the film 'The Secret' promotes the idea that “You will attract
into your life the things associated with your consistent thoughts”
How
does it work?
It
is based on the idea that your thoughts determine action and how
you act draws different things into your life. These can be positive
or negative but they are always inline with your dominant thoughts.
It can be likened to how some people always seem to be lucky and
have good things happen to them while others are the opposite and
nothing but a story of hard luck with everything going wrong for
them.

The
law of attraction is concerned with how you can change your thinking
and mood to be in a state to attract good things into your life.
Through thinking and acting a certain way you raise the vibrations
and qualities of your thoughts. This can then be used to attract
into your life the goals you desire.
The
law of attraction and your goals.
To
achieve your goals you need to feel and experience right now the
way you will feel when you achieve your goal.
Through
consistently experiencing this emotion, you will begin to attract
into your life the very things that you desire and before long using
the law of attraction you will have achieved your goals.
How
can I feel this way if I do not have it?
It
may seem hard to feel like you have achieved your goals when you
have not. However there are certain things you can do today which
replicates how you would feel when you have succeeded.
Achieving
your goals is not really about the physical results e.g. being a
certain weight, having X amount of money. It is instead about the
feeling that comes with achieving these goals. Confidence, comfort,
security, pride etc.
The
key is to identify which feelings you are seeking to experience
by achieving your goals and then look at what activities today can
you do which replicate similar emotions. For example if the reason
you want to achieve your goal weight is to be happy then do activities
today that make you feel happy with yourself, e.g. maybe doing a
dance class, gardening, painting, helping someone etc.
You
can also use visualization techniques to imagine and experience
the feelings of being successful. The more clear and real the feelings
the more effective it will be.
Blocks
to the law of attraction
As
great and powerful as your positive thoughts are any underlying
subconscious thought patterns can instantly act as a block to the
law of attraction and achieving your goals. To ensure these are
not inhibiting your efforts pay plenty of time to EFT.
Using
the law of attraction in daily life
There
are certain things you can do in daily life that can raise you mood
and activate the law of attraction.
•
Pay a compliment - One of the simplest things you can ever
do, next time you are out and you notice something on someone you
think is good just tell them “your hair looks nice, you are
looking slim etc”. Notice how you feel better. Do not lie
about the complement as they will resent it and it will have the
opposite effect in your mind.
•
Help someone - Doing something as simple as helping someone
carry their bags etc will give you and them a great feeling. This
will all attract into your life better things as you raise your
vibrations.
•
Relax, Laugh and be happy - In a world of doom
and gloom it is easy to get fixated on the negative. How about just
relaxing, not talking about anything with a negative aspect to it
and enjoying yourself. Talk about something that is good rather
than what is wrong or bad.
Law
of attraction exercise - Gratitude Walk / Journal
This
is perhaps the most powerful mental exercise you can do and it is
impossible to not feel great afterwards. Go for a walk and for the
whole of the ten minutes or so, say out loud reasons you are grateful
and thankful to the world. Do not lie, instead think of a smaller
aspect if stuck, e.g. “I am thankful for my pet dog Billy,
for the blue sky, for my mum’s help (only say this if you
mean it), etc” Alternatively write this down each day in a
journal.
This is one of the most powerful exercises you can do and should
be done daily to activate the law of attraction and achieve your
goals. This can be done on a walk, while doing your morning stretches,
when driving etc Find time for this!
