quick lesson on the law of attraction. (:

i talk a lot about “affirmations,” which go along with the law of attraction.  the law of attraction is all about creating your own reality.  i want to give a brief description of the law of attraction and these affirmations i speak of daily, so you too can be enlightened and join me on this life changing journey!

if you’re completely new to the law of attraction and think my past entries have all seemed a little “out there,” maybe you need a quick run down.  first, i highly suggest visiting your local book store and picking up a copy of the secret.  if you’re not a huge reader, the secret is also available on dvd.  i’ve read and watched each, and i suggest the same to everyone else.  (:  you should find this book, along with many others, in the self help or metaphysical section.  the law of attraction intertwines with quantum physics, so another film i recommend is what the bleep do we know.  this will help you grasp a better understanding.

i’m not exactly how i fell into the law of attraction.  i think i came across it by accident.  i have always been known to spend hours in the self help section at borders.  i’ve just always adored inspirational books.  i have always loved richard carlson’s don’t sweat the small stuff books.  after i read his books time and time again, i was always on the search for something more.  i then picked up the secret and fell in love.

there are three simple steps to the law of attraction: ask, believe and receive!  that’s it!  i know, it sounds pretty crazy, but open your mind and watch the magic unravel.  just remember : like attracts like.  if you are negative and pissy and acting like an asshole all of the time, you are going to attract negative in your life.  the opposite happens when you are a happy, positive person!

• know what you want and ask the universe for it. whether it be a promotion at your job, a new car, winning the lottery, just ask for it.  generally it’s good to start small.  for example, i started focusing on getting the first parking spot everywhere i went.
• secondly, you need to believe. feel and act as though you already have what you desire!  for example, as i would be driving to the mall, i would visualize the parking spot right next to the door open.  i would get excited about driving to the mall because i “knew” that spot was there waiting for me. 
• the last step is to receive. be open to receiving your wishes!  pay close attention to your intuitive messages to ensure you’re on the right path!  it is literally as easy as that!

now that you are aware of these three basic steps, it’s very important that you realize the power positive affirmations can hold.  it’s pretty crazy the amount of power small sentences can have on your life.  affirmations are positive sentences you say aloud to reaffirm all of your desires.

it is wise to make sure your affirmations are 100% positive.  do not announce anything negative.  let me put it to you this way – the universe doesn’t know the difference between positive or negative.  for example, if you are announcing, “I can’t be late!  i’m not going to make it!  i’m going to miss my meeting!” chances are, you are going to be late.  you are not going to make it.  you are going to miss your meeting.  the universe only hears “late,” “not going to make it,” and “miss my meeting.”  choose to word your affirmations positively.  “i am going to be on time!  i am going to be early!”  this exact scenario has worked for me so many times.  it’s actually quite bizarre sometimes, as i feel like i’ve gotten to work and clocked in at a record time.  it’s pretty crazy how it works out, though.  try it.  don’t be shocked if it doesn’t work the first time…or the second or third.  you are reprogramming your brain, and this takes a bit of time.

as you follow along on my website, i will share all sorts of secrets and treasures that i have found are very helpful in my journey.
