How to attract the good stuff!
The law of attraction is simple – what you think about becomes a reality. In other words, your thoughts are what attract things into your life.
Here’s an example of how the law of attraction work - most people who are overweight constantly think about weighing more than they should. Since they consistently think about being unhealthy and overweight, they continue to remain that way, in spite of going on diets and trying to change their lifestyle.
The law of attraction is not about just positive thinking. Believers of this theory say it is not just positive things you attract into your life, but also negative things. Whatever you spend your time and energy thinking on will come about in your life. Stop reading this article and just for a moment think of someone you know who seems to have continual bad luck – things never go right for them, something is always wrong. Now ask yourself honestly – it this person extremely pessimistic in all areas of their life? Do they expect the worst and amazingly enough things always turn out for the worst? Could it be that their negativity is attracting bad luck into their lives?
Another example is that people who are broke tend to continually think they are poor… By thinking you're poor, you act like a poor person acts, and you do nothing to change your situation. So you continue to attract the same results – little money.
People who act on the law of attraction believe that thoughts are like oars on the boat – in that they control where we are headed. In other words, what we think about today will shape our destination for tomorrow. Repeat that sentence again – it’s worth considering it your ‘law of attraction’ mantra. Instead of thinking about how overweight you are, or how poor you are, or whatever ails you, start thinking about what you want to attract – a slim figure, a full bank account, good health.
Stop thinking poor thoughts, think rich thoughts. Stop thinking fat thoughts, think thin thoughts. These thoughts will start to steer you in the direction to achieve those things. It's actually quite simple, if you think about it; if you think exactly like a person who is rich thinks, you'll start to attract the same things in your life that that rich person attracts.
So how can use the law attraction work for you?
Determine what you want out of life, and write it down.
Now use your thoughts to attract that into your life. Think about the success you will achieve by getting it. By thinking about success constantly, you will start to attract success into your life. This is because you'll be more aware of what success is, since you are focusing on it.
While for some it may just be a simple case of positive thinking, for many this idea of allowing our thoughts to direct us has made a profound difference in their lives. If you think there are some areas of your life where you would like a little improvement, then give it a go. Harness its power and get more out of your life today!
