I’ve been using The Law of Attraction (The main concept taught in "The Secret") in my life for many years. It’s been an interesting journey.
It’s suggested by many that changing thoughts from negative to positive are necessary – that process by itself isn’t always enough for me. Following are several components occurring simultaneously that I use and suggest for others to consider:
- Being grateful for everything I have in my life (past and present)
- I am one with and extension of God
- Accepting all of me
- Deciding what it I want
- Getting quiet, using guided visualization I create what it is I want in my mind.
- Revisiting a positive emotion in my past and bring it forward to the mental vision of what I want –
pairing them, making the experience very real using all of the senses (especially the emotion).
- Put together three action steps that support me in manifesting my goal.
- Take ACTION
- Photographs are a great visual cue, so are post-it-notes – select your favorite color, write what your
goal is and post in the most important places. For work or those places you don’t feel the need to explain, the post-it-notes are blank. Your mind will continue to register their purpose.
- Creating a visual – collage, draw/color a picture
- Asking yourself throughout the day how your actions are supporting you with achieving your goal
- Paying attention to my focus and refrain from distractions
- Rewarding you – be it a pat on the back, saying “good job” or taking time for just you to enjoy yourself.
- When those *negative thoughts show up – dismiss them immediately and replace them with a feel
good experience. Past or present, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is select an outstanding feel good time and focus on it, notice how good you feel as you’re replaying it in your mind.
- Thoughts to consider:
- Notice the company you keep – are they positive and supportive?
- Pay attention to the language you use – is it accountable and responsible or victimy?
- What is your self-talk? Is it supportive?
- Are you passionate about what you say you want? How are your actions reflecting this passion?
- What learning/self improvement actions are you incorporating daily?
*Negative thoughts that continue to dominate your mind might be suggesting there is inner healing to do. I can want all I want and if that inner work isn’t in alignment with my goals, I’ll find a way (unconsciously) to sabotage myself.
