Using the Law of Attraction to ‘Attract’ a Good Night’s Sleep

Sleep is something we all need. Some of us need a solid eight hours while others get by fantastically on much less. Teenagers are notorious for needing lots of sleep.  

No matter how many hours your body seems to need, we all need this “downtime” to rest and repair our bodies and our minds. 

We don’t always get the rest we need for a variety of reasons and missing out on sleep can be detrimental to our mood and our health.

So if you find yourself struggling with insomnia, take heart: you can apply the Law of Attraction to get that much-needed night’s sleep.

One of the most common threads behind people who do not sleep well is the belief that they do not sleep well. They even tell all their friends about their difficulty sleeping. That is the Law of Attraction at work, but not in a way that benefits your health.

Have you ever watched someone sleep? Perhaps a partner, a child, or even the family dog? If you have, you will have noticed that their energy is different. You can visually see when your loved one is dreaming. This is what scientists call the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase of sleep and this is when our mind does most of its restorative work.

Even if you sleep all day long, constant interruption during the REM stage of sleep will leave you feeling the exact opposite of rested and refreshed.

There are other stages of sleep that are also important for our health, but REM is the easiest for us to see without sophisticated equipment. With that equipment, scientists have shown that our brain wave patterns change during the various stages of sleep and are significantly different from when we are awake.

In order to get the relaxation and rejuvenation that we need from sleep, we have to get into a vibrational level that is similar to the sleeping brain wave patterns.

There are some devices that you can buy to help you achieve these brain patterns, but meditation is one of the best tools available to you. Focusing on your breath may be enough to settle your brain down and send you down the path to sleep. If your brain is still chattering away, adding a meditation tape can often be enough to distract the chatter.

Beyond meditation, it is important to apply the Law of Attraction to getting a good night’s sleep. Many sleep experts will tell you that you must go to sleep at the same time every night, or that you must not watch television, or you must (or must not) do x, y, z.

Instead of focusing on a list of things you must get just right, shifting your attitude and vibration is the answer.  Hold the intention that you will sleep well. Feel appreciation for all the things that went well that day. Talk to yourself in a loving, grateful, and appreciative way.

If you find your mind drifting to things you didn’t get done, tell your subconscious to remind you of the task in the morning, after your restful night’s sleep.

Visualize yourself sleeping soundly. Feel your body relaxing. Tell yourself how good a sleeper you are, that you sleep well and awake refreshed. Be grateful for your warm bed. Remember the positive people and moments in your day.

As we achieve our attitude of gratitude, our body and mind will relax with the pleasant thoughts. As you relax, your body and mind are already beginning to get the rest and relaxation they need to heal and for you to feel rested and refreshed--even before you drift off to sleep.

With practice, you will be able to achieve this rested state more quickly. One day soon, you may suddenly realize that you are sleeping well every night and you can’t remember the last time that you struggled to fall asleep.

Use the Law of Attraction to Take Control of Your Life

At one point or another, you have probably expressed grief over not having enough control in your own life. Those feelings of hopelessness are unfortunately common in today's fast-paced society where individuals are taught to become part of the whole.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to always be that way. You can use the Law of Attraction to take control of your life, once and for all.

The majority of people know that the Law of Attraction states that positive thoughts beget positive outcomes and negative thoughts beget negative results. However, it goes much deeper.

By strongly focusing on an intention to go into action, the action center of your brain lights up. This prompts you to actually do something instead of mourning your inability to do it.

As long as your intentions are strong and positive, you will ultimately end up with positive results.

Here is an example: You want a promotion at work. You focus on the outcome as positive, with strong intentions to gain this promotion.

The action center of your brain lights up, prompting you to improve your performance at your job. The positivity you are exuding helps to further achieve positive results.

You ultimately end up with the job promotion.

Taking back control of your life is as simple as this. You may find it difficult at first. Being negative and downtrodden is very common in this society.

It is perhaps what you were taught to do. With a little practice, however, you can be a positive person who easily gains the positive outcomes they desire. You will also find it easier to focus on strong intention as you make a practice out of it.

What is the key?

Don't give up!

Take control of your life. Use the Law of Attraction to get rid of your feelings of hopelessness. Keep practicing meaningful intention and positivity. Eventually it will come to you naturally. Too many people give up because they find this difficult. Don't let that be you. It is your life. Nobody else controls you. Take action now and reap the positive benefits for a lifetime. 

Is There Scientific Evidence Supporting the Law of Attraction?

The Law of Attraction has been a popular, yet controversial, topic in modern times. It was recently made universally popular by the movie, The Secret. The idea is far from being new, however. It has been around for countless years, rising and falling in popularity. 

The big question is that whether or not there is scientific evidence supporting the Law of Attraction, but there are a few key points of interest:

Mirror Neurons

The first piece of scientific evidence supporting the law was found in the form of mirror neurons.

These were first found in primates. Scientists have found a set of these neutrons recently in humans as well.

Mirror neurons are located within the brain and help you mentally simulate all of the things you are watching.

This enables you to feel as though you are doing the task yourself instead of merely observing. The same is true when someone watches you. Other people's mirror neurons will “mirror” your actions.

The Amygdala

When someone is shown a picture of a face depicting fear, an almond- shaped portion of the brain lights up. This area is called the amygdala. The initial experiment where the amygdala was found went further as well -- scientists noted that even when the image of a fearful person was hidden in a much larger image, the amygdalae of the viewers still lit up in a similar manner.

This proves that when other people feel fear, you will feel fear as well. Another person's emotions prompt you to feel the same emotions.

The Power of Intention

The most conclusive piece of evidence supporting the Law of Attraction is the findings that show that the areas of the brain involved in both intention and action are intricately linked.

Studies have shown that when someone focuses strongly on an intention, the action centers of their brain also fire up. This has conclusively proven that strong focus on a given hope or thought can help you to actively strive towards it.

Is there scientific evidence supporting the Law of Attraction? The answer is a definite yes. The brain is literally equipped to further your goals through powerful intention. Those mirror neurons give you the ability to carry out tasks based solely on seeing someone else do them. The very ideals of the Law of Attraction are based strongly in scientific law. 

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.
