Rediscovering the Law of Attraction

There's a pretty good chance you've heard something about the Law of Attraction over the past few years. For a while it was pretty big news. Remember The Secret?

Lots of people who wanted better lives jumped on the bandwagon and they saw the law of attraction as the path to get to where they wanted to go.

Unfortunately, the message that so many folks took away from The Secret was that you could just sit on the couch and eat bon bons all day and then whatever you wanted would just magically appear. It turned a lot of people off.

While you're not hearing as much about LOA in the media these days, the Law of Attraction still holds true just as it always has. It’s working in your life all the time whether you believe in it or not.

So, just what is the Law of Attraction, and how can you use it deliberately to help you be happier, healthier and more successful?

The basic tenant of the Law of Attraction is that like attracts like. When you're in a healthy, successful mindset, you'll attract better health and be more successful.

And you may ask, but, isn’t it just positive thinking?

Positive thinking is a powerful thing for sure and you’ll want to think positive thoughts to enhance how you’re feeling and to raise your vibration.

But LOA is more than mere positive thinking. You have to be deliberate in your thinking. And that means being conscious of how you speak (out loud and your inner voice, often known as your inner critic), the words you use, and the feelings you have around whatever it is you desire.

As a refresher, here are some ways you can deliberately use the Law of Attraction to make your life more fulfilling and achieve your goals:

1. Visualize what you desire.You need to have a clear idea of what you want out of life, not just a general or vague picture. By envisioning every detail of your desire, you'll eventually receive it!

• Know exactly what your goal is and then let it go so the Universe, aka the Law of Attraction, can work its magic.
• Then track your progress. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference this makes!

I realized a long time ago that everything that has come in to my life started as a visualization.

You may remember me sharing with you at some point about wanting to buy a printing press when I was a teenager. Well, I visualized that press into reality, by imagining myself operating it and all the fun I could have with it. I would lie in bed at night and get myself so excited about getting that press that I could barely sleep. And the Universe lined up everything needed for me to get it. Visualization works!

2. Allow yourself to succeed. You may think this sounds silly. After all, you're not the one holding yourself back – or are you? Many of us keep ourselves from the success we hope for, whether it's because we feel like we don't deserve it or we're just not paying attention. (These are also known as your limiting beliefs.)

• Take a look at your life and ask yourself if you have behavior patterns or attitudes that keep you from taking advantage of opportunities that can help you succeed. Recognizing and being aware of these self-sabotaging attitudes is a big step toward change.
• Do you consistently do something that sets you back every time you’re on the verge of achieving a goal? Forming a mindset that will allow you to be a success can make a huge difference.

3. Have focus. It's easy to have many desires at once. For your best results, work on one or two things at a time and give them your full attention. Without the ability to focus your energy and thoughts on your goal, the chances of failure and distraction go up.

4. Remember, the law of attraction means that you attract to your life whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to — whether negative or positive.​

So if you find yourself pursuing multiple goals but never get near any of them, it's probably time to focus. The Law of Attraction tells you that in order to achieve what you want, you have to be in a clear, focused mindset, with a strong picture of a single goal.

• Once you've focused on a single goal and achieved it, you can turn your focus to your next goal.

This way, one by one, you are realizing success.

5. Be willing to receive the bounty the Universe offers you. The world is constantly giving you chances to make things better. If you maintain the right mindset, stay focused, and know what you want you will never have to worry about how to get there.

When you state what you desire you let go of the outcome and let the Universe take over. Law of Attraction will figure out the best way for your desire to come to you. So again, never worry about the how.

• Every day opportunities will appear that can lift you out of your rut and put you on the road to a better tomorrow and the success you desire. You just have to be willing to take advantage of those opportunities as the Universe presents them to you.

Keeping a positive mindset, raising your vibe, being aware of your feelings, and conscious of the words you use, then taking action to accomplish your goals as LOA present opportunities to you will help you achieve the life you’ve always dreamed of.

And remember to be grateful for whatever it is you desire even before you receive it. Having a grateful heart always speeds up the manifestation of your wants and desires.

And guess what? I'm grateful for you — and to you — for being a part of my world.
