Why Does The Law Of Attraction Work

�The things that you want want you too�
- Dr. Wayne Dyer, Self-Development Author

Most people know or have heard about at least one person who seems to have everything they want. Not just wealth, but an abundance of wealth. Not just happiness, but an abundance of happiness; and not just love, but an abundance of love. How does a person get that lucky? Were they born with a �silver spoon in their mouth�? Were they in the right place at the right time? Was it dumb luck or hard work? Maybe it�s none of those things. Maybe that person has learned how to visualize their success and happiness by tapping into the universal Law of Attraction.

I personally know someone who has the most amazing ability to turn ideas into money. On top of that, he�s an amazing �idea machine�. He can watch a TV show, or read a magazine article, or listen to someone else speak and come away with a money-making idea that he then puts into action.

I asked him one day how he was able to do that. I thought he was joking when he answered me but, after spending more time with him, I soon learned that he was telling the truth.

His answer to my question about how he was able to generate so many successful ideas was:

�Success flows through the universe just like every other form of energy. If you raise a radio antenna into the air you will attract radio waves. If you raise a lightning rod into the air, you will attract lightning. Well,� he continued, �if you raise your success antenna into the air, you�ll attract success.� And that was my first introduction to the Law of Attraction.

At the top of this article is a quotation from Dr. Wayne Dyer. Dr. Dyer is not your typical self-improvement author. He believes in what other authors might dismiss as supernatural ramblings. He believes that there are forces at work in the universe and he believes that we have the power to change our personal reality.

Dr. Dyer sums of the idea of the Law of Attraction by saying �When you change the way that you look at things, the things that you look at change.� And that truly is what the Law of Attraction is all about. Here�s how it works:

Our subconscious mind believes everything we �tell� it. Since our subconscious mind�s only goal in life is to help us achieve what we want, once we program it to accept a certain reality, it works very hard to create that reality.

As a result, if we send it messages that we �will never become successful�, it will create that reality for us by blocking our minds from seeing success opportunities when they arise. So, the more we focus on �having less�, the less we end up having.

But what happens when we focus instead on having more? By visualizing us living the lives that we want to live, we direct our subconscious mind to start making those pictures a reality. When we visualize how our lives would be if we had an abundance of love, happiness, success and money, our subconscious mind begins bringing those opportunities to our attention when they arise. And make no mistake about it, those opportunities are everywhere. Most people just don�t have the ability to recognize them because they don�t have their success antenna raised.

If you want to put the Law of Attraction to work for you, start by visualizing yourself living the life of a successful person. That will raise you �success antenna� into the air and the opportunities will start to flow.

7 Steps To Manifesting More Money Into Your Life Effortlessly Easily Using The Law of Attraction

The most obvious step to manifesting more money is to “make” more money. The first thing that may come into your mind is to either work over-time at your current job or business, or get a second (or third job). Although, these are some very effective ways to increase your cash-flow, they may not lead to an increased money consciousness into your life.

Let me explain. You can get a second job or work more hours in your current job, or business, but then you could turn around and spend more money than you are currently. Many people are caught in this viscous cycle of spending and owing. They can’t seem to make the money that is coming in work for them. They wonder if the law of attraction is really working in their lives.

If this may have been the case with you, then you will benefit from the following steps, so that you can manifest more prosperity into your life using the law of attraction.

If you have seen The Secret Movie, then you may have an idea of how to use the law of attraction to manifest more money. Basically, it’s called repeated focus.

Step 1. Focus on money. Money is your friend. You have to develop a healthy love for money. Many people are afraid of loving money, because they confuse a healthy love for money with greed or arrogance. This couldn’t be further from the truth. A healthy love of money is the same as the love of flowers, cars, chocolate ice cream, your pet, family, friends, or anything else in this beautiful universe that makes life worth living. When it comes to using the law of attraction, it’s all about balance and being open to receiving more.

In short, the law of attraction states that like attracts like. We are all like magnets, attracting those things that we think, feel and see inside our consciousness on a consistent basis.

Therefore, make it a point to meditate on money every day. Take at least 30 minutes to an hour each day to get into the feeling of having more than enough money. Envision actual money in your hands. If this is hard for you to do, then start by envisioning it for your friends and loved ones. Imagine them with more than enough money and living a happy life. The more you do this, the easier it gets to think of yourself this way too.

Step 2: Eliminate debts. Set up an automatic payment system for all your credit card bills and debts that you owe. This way you are taking care of what you owe and you are free to focus on manifesting money and abundance.

Step 3: Create A Budget – Sit down and write out your monthly money income. Then on a separate sheet of paper sit down and write out your monthly costs and expenses. Then create a reasonable budget that you can handle, while at the same time cutting unnecessary expenses.

Step 4: Cut Down on Unnecessary Expenses – Do you really have to buy that cup of coffee every morning before going to work? What about eating out? Can you eat at home more often, thereby saving the cost of having to dine out all the time? What about impulse buying? Can you make a list before going to the store and then buy exactly what is on that list?

Step 5: Increase Your Income. The most obvious way is to work more hours at the job or take on more work in the business. But what about setting up multiple streams of income that flow in on an automatic and consistent basis? Many people have set up a home based business over the Internet using the law of attraction. In many cases, they have not had to work much more than usual to create multiple streams of income.

An excellent book that has helped me, is “The Science Of Getting Rich”, by Wallace D. Wattles. In “The Science Of Getting Rich”, you’ll learn to tap into the plane of abundance. You’ll learn that there is really no such thing as competition when it comes to building your home based business by using the law of attraction.

Increasing your cash flow does not have to mean struggle or hardship. It’s all about how you view things. This is one of the things that The Secret Movie DVD did not go into detail about.

Also, another book I recommend is “The Laws Of Thinking: 20 Secrets To Using The Divine Power Of Your Mind To Manifest Prosperity”, by Bishop E. Jordan. This book makes you realize that absolutely nothing happens without thought. This includes using the law of attraction to manifest prosperity.

Step 6: Save! Make it a habit to save. Even if you can only manage to save $1 every month, take that dollar and put it into savings. Don’t touch your savings for at least a year. The more you save the easier it will get for you to save more. This is what I call the saving mentality. Sometimes emergencies are necessary, but the key to saving is balance.

Step 7: Become Thankful – look at the money that you already have. Become thankful that you have this! There are people who don’t even have a fourth of what you have. By becoming thankful on a regular basis you focus on the good things you already have and give them a chance to expand and grow even more.

The above steps are just basic principles that you can use to manifest more money into your life effortlessly using the law of attraction. If you’ve seen “The Secret Movie DVD”, then you’ll remember that the law of attraction is a very powerful principle. With continued persistence and dedication, you’ll start harness the law of attraction and manifest a life of ever increasing money, success, and abundance.

7 Steps To Manifesting More Money Into Your Life Effortlessly Easily Using The Law of Attraction

7 Steps to Financial Abundance

Is there a formula for wealth creation? Do all self-made millionaires take the same steps to amass their fortunes?

If we were to do an in-depth study of how self-made millionaires think and act, would we find some common clues that we can learn from? The answer is yes.

These are seven essential steps, each one representing a wealth creating skill that all self-made millionaires possess and practice.

Step 1: Adopt the Million-Dollar Mindset

Millionaires see learning experiences, where Mister Ordinary sees failure. The moment you adopt the beliefs and habits of a millionaire, your perception of the world will change completely and you will realize that there are money-making opportunities everywhere and everyday around you.

Amazingly, these are opportunities that you were once quite blind to!

Step 2: Set Clear Financial Goals

Wealth never happens by chance. It always begins with a clear goal in mind. At one point of time in their life, millionaires always make a decision to become rich.

However, whenever I ask most people what their financial goals are, I often get a blank stare. This is a major reason why they will never achieve any level of wealth because they have no clue what it is.

Unless you have a specific figure to focus on, you will never be able to develop a strategy to achieve it.

Step 3: Create A Financial Plan

Once you have set specific financial targets of how much you want to earn and how much money you want to accumulate, you can then develop an effective plan to achieve it.

Goals by themselves are nothing but pipe dreams. Only when you create a plan, have you made your goal a possibility. The moment you start taking action on your plan, your dream becomes a reality.

Step 4: Massively Increase Your Income

After developing their financial plan, most people tend to become initially disheartened. They look at their plan and realize that with the amount they are earning and saving right now, it will be decades before they see any big money.

It is therefore important that you learn how to accelerate and turbo-charge your financial plan by taking steps to massively increasing your income.

Step 5: Manage Your Money & Reduce Expenses

Many people think that by increasing their income, their wealth will automatically increase. Unfortunately, increasing income is only one side of the wealth equation.

After all, there are people who earn $2,000 a month who are broke and there are those who earn $20,000 who are still broke.

The reason is because when we don’t manage the money we earn, our expenses will always rise to our level of income, wiping out any surplus we have!

Step 6: Grow Your Money at Millionaire Returns

By increasing your income and reducing your expenses, you will find that you will be able to accumulate a surplus of funds that you can use to help you build your fortune.

You need to do this because, no matter how hard you work and save, you will never be able to create phenomenal wealth unless you learn how to put your money to work for you.

Through the power of compounding, you will be able to take small sums of money and build it into huge returns over time.

Step 7: Protect Your Fortune

There is no use working hard to build your personal fortune only to see it all taken away from you. There are many people who have taken decades to build their fortune only to see it wiped out by an accident, unforeseen illness or through an unexpected lawsuit.

Self-made millionaires engage professionals like insurance advisors, lawyers and accountants to help them build a financial fortress so their wealth is protected from potential creditors, plaintiffs looking to sue and the government who may take away a big chunk of your wealth through a whole range of taxes that you may not have even heard about.

So there you have it, an overview of the seven steps that you must take towards financial abundance.

7 Steps to Financial Abundance

Universal Laws of Attraction Creation and Emotional Freedom Technique

To leverage the power of Emotional Freedom Technique and the Universal Laws of Creation, it is essential to know and to understand the basic principles that govern our Universe.

The Universal Laws govern all of life without exception; from the glaciers to earthquakes, from spinning tops and spinning planets to newborns and world leaders, from elephants and arachnids to amoebas, to orchids, oranges and microorganisms.

Metaphysics is the term used to study that which is beyond the physical, beyond what we can touch, see, taste and feel. The Universal Laws are the non-physical principles that govern our Universe in an unfailing, impartial, consistent and dependable fashion.

As we study the laws that govern our Universe, we see certain empirical Truths. It is through the study of these Universal Principles and Truths that we master our creative abilities.

With study, we begin to comprehend the profound implications of each law; we become more and more conscious of the power of our intentionality and of our minds; more and more conscious of the unwavering influence of our thoughts, emotions and beliefs on our experience.

As we begin to work with these Universal Truths (studying, applying, practicing, and redirecting), we learn how it is that we live either in harmony or disharmony with our dreams and goals.

By choosing to become acutely aware of our harmonious or disharmonious actions and thoughts, we experience and observe first hand the Universal Laws playing out in our lives. We experience both the ‘negative’ and the ‘positive’.

Ultimately, we want to use this awareness to intentionally guide and direct our experience, focusing on the ‘ascending’ or ‘positive’ thoughts to attract the highest and best that life has to offer.

Now, with the support of Emotional Freedom Technique we can quickly and systematically neutralize the thoughts that oppose our goals and cause the postponement of our life’s dreams.

This means that with EFT we can more easily and naturally apply the Laws of the Universe!

When we become aware of our limiting beliefs we can use this awareness to realign our energy; to align our thoughts and beliefs with the Universal Laws.

Many a metaphysical student can attest to their personal ‘vibrational thesis’ (their theory behind which ball of thoughts, feelings and beliefs actually created their experience.)

As we continue, we become more and more adept at specifically recalling and tracing back the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that literally foretold our experience.

It’s very important to understand that when we review our past experience it is not to repudiate or cause anxiety about our creative abilities, failings, or ‘mistakes’ but to discern which habitual or “beliefs by rote” may be causing us to attract an experience less than Heaven on Earth.

By assessing how and where our beliefs are either supporting or repelling our dreams, we can then intentionally alter our beliefs and thought patterns (with tools such as meditation, silence, prayer and EFT) to navigate towards our optimal future with greater effortlessness, ease and speed.
The Universal Laws of Creation:

The Universal Laws cannot be segmented or independently applied, they work consistently and inter-dependently of one another at all times.

Therefore, to ‘apply the law of attraction’ intentionally, one must also learn to apply the ‘law of detachment’, for example.

To summarize, the laws:

The Law of Attraction (aka the Law of Creation) says that whatever you put your attention upon expands.

We draw into our lives whatever we focus upon and emotionalize – be it positive or negative. The more we focus, the more attractive and stronger our vibration becomes, and the more quickly it manifests. To practice the Law of Attraction, simply put your attention and your positive emotions upon the essence of your dreams fulfilled, as if you already have them now!

The Law of Detachment (aka the Law of Allowing) says that in order to intentionally attract something, we must relinquish our attachment to it.

If we are attached, then we project negative emotions of fear, doubt, or craving, for example, which actually repels our dreams. To practice the Law of Detachment, be willing to trust in the Divine Order and Divine Timing. Choose to elevate your consciousness to a place of peaceful expectancy, a place of allowing; where you feel absolutely certain that all is well, right now.

The Law of Unlimited Potential (aka the Law of Pure Potentiality) says that we are unlimited children of a very prosperous, powerful, omnipotent, impartial, all-providing, all-sufficient, all-loving Father/Mother/God. Our Divine Inheritance is all that we desire: wealth, joy, love, peace, abundance, health, beauty, wisdom, wholeness, and harmony.

Practicing the Law of Unlimited Potential requires that we accept our divinity and realize that the Presence of the Divine is within. We do not have to earn the right to our dreams; we were born deserving of all that we desire.

When we accept our unlimited nature, we know that the Source is internal, not external. By expanding our consciousness of this Truth, that the Presence of God is within, we exalt our positive vibrational offering in an organic, all- encompassing and symbiotic manner.

The Law of Reciprocity (aka the Law of Giving) says that as you give you shall receive.

There is a failsafe method of getting everything you want; simply begin giving more of what you want away. To practice the law of reciprocity, begin taking action daily (giving of yourself towards your dreams) and begin tithing of your time, talent, and treasure to wherever you feel spiritually fed. If you aren’t sure where you feel spiritual nourishment, just start giving ‘it’ away everywhere you go. If you aren’t sure where or how to take action, just start
taking action is some way (any way) and you will be led. Give freely and with an open and unattached heart. Think of the Law of Reciprocity as priming the pump, the pump of your never-ending, all-providing well of prosperity, love, and success. Taking inspired action is the act of priming the pump and to receive we must be willing to give, both through action and generosity.

The Law of Cause and Effect: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

There is nothing in our Universe that exists independently. In other words, everything was created by something else and every new creation causes a reaction to the existing reality.

Thus, we cannot intentionally attract a new job, without causing the old job to change or cease to exist. We cannot intentionally attract a better relationship, without causing the current relationship (or situation) to change or cease to exist.

In studying this law, we become truly aware that the Universe is not random. There is no such thing as mere coincidence and in order to grow, change, and intentionally attract what we really want, we must be willing to go through the effects of change. When we immerse ourselves in the study and application of the laws of the Universe, we will notice certain ‘thoughts’ and ‘feelings’ that prevent us from mastering them.

For example, let’s say we want to attract a mate using the law of attraction. If we practice the law of attraction, we will actually visualize ourselves fully embracing, loving, adoring and being loved and adored by our ideal life partner.

Then, we would practice detachment by sending forth love and gratitude for already having them in our lives. We would then maintain our vision and our faith for as long as possible. Here’s where most of us go astray!

At some point, we may find ourselves looking around, wondering where our perfect man/woman is; sighing at night when they aren’t laying down with us, or anxious at a dinner where everyone else is ‘coupled’, for example. We may find ourselves longing (not allowing but craving) a mate.

When we observe our attention going to ‘he/she isn’t here yet’; and this attention triggers negative emotions such as fear, sadness, worry, anxiety, or disappointment then we are attached and not practicing the law of detachment or the law of unlimited potential.

NOW, as conscious creation students, we have the opportunity to USE this awareness to pivot our attention and our vibration; we have the opportunity to eliminate the limiting beliefs that prevent us from practicing the Law of Pure Potentiality (that we are unlimited and therefore would of course have nothing to fear or worry about) and practice the Law of Detachment (that we trust in the Divine Order and know that all is well now).

With EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) we can get in there, dig out those limiting beliefs of ‘he/she isn’t here yet’ and neutralize them. Negative thoughts and emotions are poisonous acid to our dreams, hopes, and ambitions. Think of EFT as the antidote to the poison. EFT pours an energetic alkaline solution on the acid that’s repelling our dreams. When we use EFT, we are alkalizing the poisonous thoughts and returning to a space of courage and neutrality.

When we obtain a consciousness of neutrality, we can then intentionally raise our positive emotions – our level of certainty and purely and intentionally attract outstanding success!

If you haven’t used EFT in a consistent manner to eliminate the doubts that hold you back, try it for 30 days. Just give it 3 minutes a day for 30 days. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain – health, wealth, success, love, beauty, joy, peace.and so much more!

How Reliable Is The Law Of Attraction

If thoughts are things, then those who are familiar with the Law of Attraction should be living the life of their dreams.

While a few may attain this enviable state, the majority do not rise to that level.

Is it the Law of Attraction that is at fault or the person who uses it? Does it work for some and not for others? Does it work some of the time and not at other times?

It is my contention, both from my study of it and from my many years of experience with it, that the Law of Attraction is as reliable as the Law of Gravity; if applied correctly, it works with unfailing exactitude. I also hold that anybody who studies it and applies it will come to the same conclusion.

“Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be opened unto you.”

Those are the truest words ever spoken. They not only come from an expert source, who repeatedly demonstrated it, but they can also be proved through your own experience. These are not idle words, philosophical opinions, or rhetorical exhortations; they are words that stand up to the test of observation and experience.

There is no need to rely on authority, even if it happens to be the highest known to the human race. Experiment will definitely prove its value.

The problem of insufficiency then has to do with the practitioner.

Everything that you desire can be yours with the Law of Attraction. If most people appear not to be living in abundance it is due to either not knowing about it or dismissing it as a serious idea.

If this is the great secret of life, now openly revealed by many teachers, why is success with it not apparent everywhere?

Assuming that you know about the Law of Attraction, what is preventing you from living the full expression of it?

In reflecting on this subject, I have isolated three possible factors:

1. Improper application.

Ask for something, then let it go with the full expectation that it will show up. That is the entire principle right there. However, when you fail to ask properly, being vague in your asking, or if you fail to let go, clinging to the idea, then you have not fully exercised the law.

Another way of improperly asking is to merely ask using words devoid of positive, expectant feelings. Your feelings are the vibrational signature that sets the law in motion.

2. Fear of failure.

People are afraid to get what they want. They are afraid of being disappointed and not getting it. They feel unworthy of asking. And they are even afraid of what will happen if they do get it. These fears and others are disguised as doubts, rationalizations, and anxiety. Unless there is a complete lack of resistance to getting what you want it will not show up.

3. Unclear vision.

People are not clear what they want. Unless there is a clear vision and a strong sense of what it means to you, things will not show up.

4. Reluctance to pay attention to intuition.

Sometimes your answer comes as an idea. This idea is subtle. If you do not pay attention to your subtle faculties and develop it, the answer to your problem may very well have shown up but you did not notice it.

5. Reluctance to act.

Sometimes by acting you speed up everything. The action to take is the action before you. Even if action is not necessary, as the answer may come from a person or event that has to show up in your experience, action reinforces the energy that you have sent out. It is making a statement that you are in earnest. The use of feet and hands has an amazing way of putting you in the right place at the right time. The Master Practitioner may not need to act, but at an earlier development stage, it does speed up results.

The Importance of Positive Thinking

Once you make up your mind, you can do almost anything. This is a fact of life that everyone should appreciate.

Whatever it is that you decide you can and cannot do, has a large influence on how you live your life. Whatever it is you do in your lifetime, your occupation, your friendships, and interactions with others; all of things (even your wealth status), stem from your own mindset.

The inner person inside you is the one that guides your thoughts that only you, yourself can hear. This is the force that drives you in whatever direction you go.

Believe it or not, these musings, and these decisions, are the turning points of your life. In order to establish the truth of this statement, we will drill down a little further to see what we can uncover.

We all aspire toward things we think we cannot have, like a beautiful motor boat or something. But if we just look and dream but think to ourselves that it is beyond our means, then that makes it so. We will never even try to own that boat. This negative sort of thinking is just that; negative, and you do not achieve anything positive with negative thinking.

Unfortunately, too many of us think negative thoughts similar to this, such as: “I am never going to be able to get out of debt”, or, “that particular job is way out of my league”. But if we were to think more positively instead of being so negative, what might happen as a result?

You will find that if you begin to think more positively, positive things will begin to happen. Why not just try it and see? If ever you find yourself thinking negatively, stop yourself; turn your thoughts around, and start to think in positive terms.

Positive thinking in 5 easy steps

Motivating yourself to excel at your job or to be an example to your employees, should not be something you do only when the spirit moves you. It’s an ongoing process that should include every facet of your business life. This means your mental attitude, physical well-being and appearance, work atmosphere, your interaction with others (clients and employees alike), and your off-the-job environment.

Motivational experts get paid big bucks to tell professionals, striving for success, that they must constantly examine these factors. How do you do that? Follow the 5 tips that follow, and watch the changes.

Maintain a Positive Attitude – Let’s realize that life is only 10% of what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. We’re responsible for our own actions and attitudes, and changing them when appropriate. When you’re around people/things that are uplifting and positive, you feel that way. You have more confidence in yourself, and know you can change whatever needs changing. If you can make your workplace such a place you’ll find happier workers and higher production. You might even find your employees look forward to coming to work!

Leave Personal Troubles Home – Everyone has problems, but they don’t belong at work. Turn your attention and energy entirely to your on-the-job tasks. This will actually be good for you because you’ll get a mental break from your troubles.
Create Positive Affirmations – The reason for writing goals for your business is the same as creating positive affirmations on paper. What your eyes see and ears hear, your mind will believe. Try it! After you’ve written them down, read them aloud to yourself – and do it every morning when you get into work. You’ll be amazed at what happens. Come up with a set of new ones every month. Statements such as, “I’m an important and valuable person,” or “I know I’ll make good use of my time today.” Repeating them out loud everyday at a set time will help reinforce positive actions.

Make Sure Break Times Are Really Break Times – This is an area where most bosses/entrepreneurs fall down. You become so intense about the project or situation you’re working on that you don’t ease up. Thinking that it’ll be solved in the next few seconds, and then you’ll get a cup of coffee can lead you right up to quitting time. Regularly adhering to a specified break schedule, even if you’re the boss, releases the tension. If you work on a computer this is even a greater problem because before you realize it – you’ve been working in that same position for hours. The best answer to this is to set yourself a reminder on your appointment calendar for every 2 hours, and let the computer reminder chime send you the alert to move around.

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise – I know that lately it seems that “exercise” is the cure-all to every physical ailment or your love life, but despite that there is some truth to that ugly word. By “exercise” I don’t mean that you should go out and join a gym and spend your lunch-time, 3-days-a-week there working out. What is really beneficial and workable is that at those chiming alerts from your computer, get up and walk around your desk or room. Maybe go outside and get the mail and enjoy the sunlight (if you’re an entrepreneur that has a home office), or just get up and do a few stretches. Concentrated, tense thinking – typing – plotting plans – or whatever your work, makes all those muscles tighten up and knot up. Then when we move we “ooh” and “ouch” because we’ve knotted up into a ball of tension. Periodic stretching, even at our desk, or just getting up and walking over to the window and getting a different view can help. One of the greatest disservice modern business décor has done to us, is making our offices pristine, sleek, unencumbered spaces. There is nothing more relaxing than getting up from your desk and walking over to a peaceful, serene, seascape or pastoral painting and just drinking it in visually. Momentarily transporting your mind out of work and into that place does wonders. A few good paintings and less shiny chrome in offices would benefit us all.

It only takes a little concentrated effort on our part to keep motivated and productive, which leads to success. I know you’re going to hate hearing this, but it’s true anyway – and that is, “WHEN LIFE GIVES YOUR LEMONS – MAKE LEMONADE!”

Positive thinking

Because our thought process is constantly working, the Law of Attraction is constantly working as well. Many of our thoughts are at the unconscious level, so we’re not always aware of what type of energy those thoughts may be creating.

According to the Law of Attraction, if you want something enough and you truly believe it’s possible for you to have it, you’ll probably get it. But the same is true for negative thoughts.

If you spend a lot of time thinking on the things you don’t want or fear, and you believe it’s possible for you to experience them, it’s just as likely they’ll come your way. You can’t avoid unpleasant things by hoping they don’t happen.

Your unconscious is literal and produces negative energy the same as it does positive energy. It doesn’t know the difference. Your unconscious mind doesn’t understand “I don’t want”.

To truly achieve the positive benefits of the Law of Attraction, you have to become aware of what you’re focusing your attention on.

Are you focusing on what you want? Or don’t want? Do you have thoughts or beliefs that are contrary to what you want? If you truly want something, but feel you don’t really deserve it, those thoughts will be translated into energy, and the Universe will “feel” that you don’t deserve it.

Becoming aware of what you’re spending your energy on, enables you to change it. Allowing you to focus all your thoughts on the things you really want.

What are the Three Keys to Self-Improvement and Motivation

Effectively succeed in the most important factors for self improvement and motivation for small business owners. You will accomplish more in less time when you focus on three of the most important factors.

1) INSPIRATION
You need inspiration to keep you motivated and intent on improving yourself. If you are not as interested in your business as you should be, your motivation level will be lower than it can be and you will not be able to sustain interest for long periods.

Take an honest look at your inspiration level. Are you excited about going to work or is it an obligation? Many people choose to go into a business because on paper, it looks profitable, but when they actually go into it, they find it does not interest them.

If you are one of these people, you will grow weary and uninterested quickly because you have no inspiration or passion to sustain you during the difficult times you will encounter as a small business owner.

If you do not like your work, not to worry. There are probably ways that you can re-focus your business to match your interests and thus develop a passion in it, which will help you stay inspired. Think of ways to do this, and if you truly can not, consider making a clean break and starting something new. You might be able to sell it if it is reasonably well established and could turn a profit for someone who is interested in it, so you might be able to recoup some of your investment this way. But do not try to stay with it if you just have no interest and cant turn it into something you can be passionate about, because without inspiration, you will not be motivated to even try self- improvement.

2) SET GOALS
Short and long-term goal setting is vital for any business owner. If you do not set goals, you have no definite purpose and no clear path to take. It is impossible to be motivated if you are not sure about the direction your company is taking.

Take the time to put your goals in writing. A business plan may sound daunting, but it is really nothing more than putting goals, strategies, implementation plans, and a budget in writing. Write your own business plan and update it at least annually.

Include mini-goals that can be accomplished in a matter of hours, days, or weeks. Include more ambitious grand-goals that may take years to complete. Refer to this plan throughout the year.

Can a business plan really help motivate you? Of course! Written goals will make you feel more professional and certainly more connected to your business. It will also free you from having to reinvent your business goals every single day.

3) NETWORKING
Another key factor in getting and staying motivated is to network with other small business owners and collaborate with those who have expertise you dont. You can not possibly know all the information you need to understand every facet of your business, at least not at first. Use expertise of others to build on your own. You will conquer challenges you could not have alone, and you will likely help others do the same.

Networking also helps offset the solitary working conditions many entrepreneurs face as well. In fact, working alone can be one of most difficult parts of being an entrepreneur. You can never truly succeed without the help of others, and you will need to return the favor and offer your own assistance, too. Mutual support is motivating.

Make life easier by connecting with others either within your community or online. Even when businesses are not related, you will often find common ground and ways to work together.

Many successful entrepreneurs report that finding the right networking group was a turning point in the growth of their business. When a networking group works together, it can help its members generate more qualified sales leads, for instance, and solve problems faster and more efficiently.

Sharing ideas, expertise, and experience is also an invaluable aspect of motivation and self-improvement. Your own personal team of business owners will help re-energize you when the burdens of running your own business seem too much.

And with your networking team to rely on, you can accomplish more in less time and probably have more fun in the process!

What are the Three Keys to Self-Improvement and Motivation

Spiritual healing

The Power of Spiritual Healing

Most people associate spirituality with religion. It is defined as the recognition of a god whom one can create a great relationship with. The god is the provider of everything that gives life-long happiness to manóhappiness, love, peace, security, justice and everything else. Furthermore, spiritual healing is the transferring of natural energy from a healer to his subject. In general, the healing process has something to do with faith and when the subject believes that he can be healed, his mind, body and soul work together to achieve good health. There are certain times that this healing process does not need the healer. The patient just needs to heal himself through a deep prayer of your own.

Spiritual healing does not focus only on the physical body of the patient. It includes the mind and his spirit. When you undergo spiritual healing, you get to gain peace of mind, self confidence, security, safety and the most important is the capacity to give and receive the unconditional love which is so hard for other people to share to others. Then, you will be guided with your life. You will be able to know the solutions to your problems and you find them easier to handle because you know that you have a god who is always there to provide you with guidance.

The healer is absolutely useless if the patient himself is not participating in the activity. This process needs full attention because this will never work if you do not have focus on what you want to achieve. You must know the reason why you want to undergo spiritual healing. You should be serious with what you are actually doing because this will really change your entire life and the way you live it.

The good thing about spiritual healing is that it can really help you whatever problem you are undergoingóspiritual, physical, mental or emotional. The process of healing does not end on the healing stage itself. It is only the beginning of everything. You do the rest of the processes by yourself. These processes are characterized by strengthening your relationship with God. You must involve yourself in religious activities. You also take in consideration not just your relationship with God but your relationship with your neighbors as well. This helps you live a clean life and eventually, you will live your life peacefully for the better.
