Utilizing the Law of Attraction in Three Simple Steps

Thought is much more powerful than people assume and it can determine the entire makeup of your life. It is important to know that no outside forces may determine your thoughts. They are innately your own. By harnessing their power, you can benefit from the Law of Attraction.

How can you do this? By following these three simple steps:

Step One: Practice Visualization

In order for your dreams to become a reality, you must practice visualization.

Allow yourself to imagine your dreams as they are.

According to the Law of Attraction, this makes your dreams become reality; so, the next time you daydream, go with it.

Daydreaming can actually be beneficial in that it is literally the act of visualizing your dreams.

Step Two: Think Positively

Positive thoughts will attract positive outcomes. Let's say that you want to receive a promotion that is up for grabs at work.

First, visualize yourself receiving the promotion in your mind. After you do that, you must think positively about the situation. Think that you will get the promotion and chances are high that you will receive it. Don't allow yourself to think negatively. This can actually cost you the position. Negative thoughts can attract negative outcomes, just like positive thoughts can attract positive outcomes.

Step Three: Truly Believe

It isn't enough to visualize or think positively if you don't truly believe in the power of the Universe. You must wholly believe your positive thoughts are going to be actualized. Otherwise, you will not benefit from the Law of Attraction. Your thoughts cannot be falsely positive. And you can’t fake it! You must honestly believe with every ounce of your being that what you want will come to you. It gets easier to believe as your life experience shows this to be true and you see things starting to happen for you.

Follow these three simple steps to harness the power contained within the Law of Attraction. Simply visualize, think positively, and truly believe. You will see what a major impact these simple practices can have on your life. You will be able to improve your life in ways you have never imagined. 

Keeping Company with the Law of Attraction

There is an old saying, which the majority of us have heard: “You are known by the company you keep.”

Although most people like to disregard this old-fashioned remark, there is a lot of truth behind the saying. 

Chances are likely that you and your friends are much alike. You probably share some of the same interests and have the same general outlook on life. 

You likely also act very much the same, whether in a private or public setting.

If you think about the people in your life, you will see that this is true. You may be wondering why.

The Law of Attraction explains this question for us. Like energies attract one another.

If you are a certain way, you are going to attract other people who behave similarly to you. This would explain why it seems people run in crowds of like-minded people. While this can be a great thing, it can also create conflict.

Being known by the company you keep can be a great thing if you are a positive individual who works hard at bettering yourself and generally behaves well in society. With this being the case, you will attract other positive individuals who also work hard and behave themselves in a positive manner. People will look upon you in a positive way and good things will come your way.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, this can create negativity for you. If you are a negative person who believes they will never receive anything of worth in their lives (because the world is against them), you will be associated with those same type people. Instead of increasing your positive energy, your friends will be increasing your negative energy. People will look upon you in a negative way and nothing you want will come your way.

However, our energy is not set in stone. If you take a look around you and notice only negative people, you need to take a better look at the energy you are personally producing.

Working at becoming a more positive person can drastically improve your life. In time, the negative people will fall away from your life and replaced with positive people. Those positive people will help only to lift you up, and you will be happy to be known by the company you keep.

Physical Well-Being and the Law of Attraction

“Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.” - Mary Lou Retton

Research has discovered the power of positive thought. The power of the Universal Law of Attraction so aptly summarized in the quote by Olympics Gold Medal Winner Mary Lou Retton, is a true aid to managing stress and optimizing your physical well being . 

It should come as no surprise that positive thoughts can help us get and stay healthy.

Empirical research has found that there are many positive health benefits associated with positive thinking and optimistic attitudes.

The Mayo Clinic found that positive thinking is linked to a wide range of health benefits including:

• Better psychological health 
• Increased sense of well-being 
• Lower depressions rates
• Reduced stress
• Longer life span
• Better stress management and coping skills
• Lower risks of cardiovascular disease-related death
• Increased resistance to the common cold

In a study of 1,550 older adults, the results showed that positive thinking also reduced frailty in the geriatric population.

How can you help yourself to think positive thoughts?  One of the first steps to take is to learn to pay attention to your own self-talk. When you do this, do you encourage and find the things you like best about yourself? Or are you self-sabotaging and focusing on everything you dislike about yourself?  Begin intentionally focusing on good things, good words and good feelings about who you are.

Affirmations can be a useful tool to begin shifting your focus from negative thoughts and self-talk to positive thoughts and self-talk. Write several positive statements about yourself or about your life. Keep it simple. Maybe you love your hair or you love your ability to help other people.  Once you begin looking for positive things about yourself, you will start to discover more and more things you like.

Keep an affirmations journal where you can write down your positive thoughts.  If you are having difficulty coming up with something positive to say to yourself, read through your journal and reflect on all the positive things you have already written and focus on one of those entries for the day.

Search online for affirmation or buy a book of affirmations. As you read them, notice which ones really feel good when you read them. Think about why they feel good. Do they fit you now or do they feel good because the affirmation is something you really want to be a part of your life in the future?

No matter what, affirmations can help you stay in a place of happiness. They may help you become healthy if you aren’t, or stay healthy because you will be lifting your mood. You will be allowing your body to heal and work optimally to protect you from disease.

Universal Law of Attraction: Use the T-Tool to Clarify What You Want

Some days it is difficult to feel bright and chipper. In fact, sometimes that feeling of hopelessness sticks with us for long periods of time.  If you find yourself getting stuck in negative thoughts, a good place to begin is to review all of the things that are currently being attracted to you. Are they negative or positive things?

The Universal Law of Attraction is always working, so chances are if you are feeling hopeless, you are allowing negative thoughts into your mind.   The T-tool can be a very useful tool to help you work through your experiences and determine what you don’t want in your life, and more importantly, the things you do want in your life.

The T-tool is really just a comparison, or positive/negative inventory of your experiences.  All you need is a piece of paper and a pencil or pen.   Take the paper and draw a line down the middle. Near the top of the page, draw a line across the paper--hence the letter “T”. 

In the top left box put “things I don’t want” and in the top right box “things I do want.”  In the left column under the top box, list out all the things you are attracting into your life that are making you unhappy, or that you do not want.

After you complete that column it is time to begin thinking about each thing or event you have written down. Now think about what you do want in your life.  If you can’t put what you want into words, then think about what you don’t want. Ask yourself, what is the opposite of that? What opposite thing or event would bring you joy and happiness?  Write down that thing that you do want in the right hand column of the paper, opposite the thing you do not want. 

The T-tool is a great way to clarify the things that make us feel uncomfortable or cause us resistance. This tool also helps to magnify, or clarify the things that we really want in life that will make us feel good. 

Doing it once is rarely enough. This exercise should be repeated often because what we earnestly want can change as we continue to learn more about ourselves, our thoughts, and our feelings.

As we get better at listening to our internal guidance system, we begin to notice more things in our lives that make us happy, or, we may start to have greater insight into things we think make us feel happy but actually do not.  The T-tool helps you take inventory of what is happening in your life now, and helps you focus in on what you want to happen in the future.
