Law of Attraction Manifestation Exercise

Friday, June 27th, 2008

O.K. So in learning how to use the Law of Attraction you have realized the basics. Think positively – not negatively. Positive brings good results — negative brings bad. I’m pretty sure we all have that part clear.

So the next question is…How do I think positively when many things in my life are negative right now? The answer is purposeful mental distraction. I have written some articles previously about using Mental Distraction but hadn’t put them in exercise forms so I will do so now.

It is almost impossible to go from a very negative vibration to a very positive one. It is simply too big a jump. As you have probably also discovered for yourself, it is much harder and it takes a lot longer to accomplish any task you might need to when you are in a negative state as opposed to a strong positive one.

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that it is in your best interest to put yourself in a more positive place mentally before trying to tackle any important task. For the good of you and for the good of the task. While there are many different ways to accomplish this mental transition, I am going to offer a quick and easy one that you can do in as little as 15 minutes.

You can either grab a pencil or paper or go right to your computer and open a word processing sheet. The exercise is to write down 100 things that you enjoy doing. That’s right enjoy doing. Not a list of what you would like to accomplish in the future (that is another exercise), but simply write down things you have enjoyed in the past and currently.

For instance:
1. Going to your favorite restaurant and enjoying your favorite meal. 2. Having a night to yourself to read a great book 3. A large snowstorm that gives you no choice but to cuddle on the couch and watch television all day. 4. A walk on the beach at sunset. 5. Bowling a great game with your teammates cheering you on 6. Winning even the smallest amount of money in a casino 7. Having a great laugh with your friends 8. Cheering on your favorite sports team when they make an unbelievable play 9. Singing and dancing around the room when no one is watching to your favorite song 10. Spending a solid hour on YouTube watching people do things you would never attempt doing.

11. Getting into a warm bed on a cold night.

12. The first night with newly laundered sheets on the bed

13. Enjoying relaxing in a spotlessly clean house

14. The first taste of that hot cup of coffee in the morning

15. The refreshing taste of that tropical drink on the beach, or that cold beer after a hard days physical work Anyway, you get the gist of it. The point is to write down things that cause you to say “Ummm, yes I do love that.”

You will be surprised how much calmer and appreciative you will feel after you have mentally relived this feeling 100 times over in a 15 minute period.

The next steps are to: 1. Save the list so you can go back to it anytime you need a mental boost or when you remember something that you would like to add 2. Pick one or two that you will do in the next few days as a reward to yourself for the tasks you will accomplish today.

If you can’t think of 100 things at this moment, even better. Because that means you can spend all your mental time coming up with more. Instead of thinking about upcoming bills on your ride home tonight, come up with more things you love to do. Instead of thinking about being angry at the kids for leaving their jacket in the middle of the floor, come up with more things you love to do.

The most important part of this exercise is not the actual list mind you, but the exercise of consciously redirecting your thoughts to positive things as opposed to negative. Retraining your brain, if you will.

So go now and write your list. Change your negative thoughts and thereby your negative vibrations right now. You might be surprised at the difference in the way that you feel from such a simple process.

Happy Creating!

Let’s Hear it For Enthusiasm!

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

According to the dictionary, enthusiasm means 1. great excitement for or interest in a subject or cause. 2. a source or cause of great excitement or interest. 3. ecstasy arising from supposed possession by a god. The word actually comes from the Greek ‘entheos’ meaning “the God within.”

When you find a subject or cause that produces that kind of excitement, it makes you feel empowered, and able to do just about anything you can imagine. In fact, the enthusiasm itself can enable you to do it exceedingly well, whatever the subject may be. Enthusiasm may even be one of the most essential ingredients to lifelong success.

While enthusiasm begins in the mind, it can have a profound effect on the physical body as well. The pitch of your voice, your heart rate, even your posture, not to mention your energy level changes when you are filled with enthusiasm. In addition, people around you can detect it and will be affected too, because enthusiasm is contagious. An enthusiastic person is just more enjoyable to be around. Norman Vincent Peale said, “If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.”

Teachers often have a powerful affect on their students if they are, themselves, filled with enthusiasm in their subject matter. Some only teach; others inspire. Passion for a subject often awakens the minds of the students.

For those people who are in sales, enthusiasm for their product or service means the difference between a few sales and a phenomenal success rate. According to Walter Chrysler, “The real secret to success is enthusiasm.”

How did they become so enthusiastic about what they do? It must come from a passion for a particular subject, a real desire to master it. Dr. Wayne Dyer says, “Love what you do. Do what you love.” That’s the real secret right there. When you work at something you love, you can’t help but be enthusiastic about it, and odds are, you’ll be very good at that particular kind of work, or sport, or hobby. When you’re that passionate about what you do, it almost ceases to be work and becomes more like fun.

Enthusiastic people are often more successful at what they do, mostly because they become so adept. They also find it a bit easier surviving hard times. It’s hard to break a person who is fortified with enthusiasm. “The real secret to success is enthusiasm” according to Walter Chrysler.

Keep in mind that enthusiasm is not the same thing as just being excited. You can get excited about a new house. However, you would be enthusiastic about helping to construct that new house yourself. Every new invention and creation is due to enthusiasm on the part of the inventor or creator.

Age, experience and traumatic events can sometimes take the edge off your enthusiasm, your thrill of life. How can you get it back, you ask? Think back to a time in your past, when you were very enthusiastic about some subject or cause and try to remember how it made you feel, how excited you were at the mere thought of it. Try to regain the passion and desire you felt back then. Remind yourself why it was thrilling to you. Everyone changes and your enthusiasm may be for a very different subject now.

Let your passions take over and enthusiasm become a part of your life. As Mark Twain once said, “Let us endeavor to live so that when we come to die, even the undertaker will be sorry.”

To be enthusiastic-Act enthusiastically!

Law of Attraction – How Much Action is Needed?

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Many people, especially when starting out with the law of attraction wonder, just how much action is necessary when applying the law of attraction? This article answers that question very well.

One of the grave mistakes for most people in applying the law of attraction is not fully understanding the nature of attraction. The greater majority of people who learn of the law of attraction limit their understanding only to their immediate thoughts. While that is important its still a limited part of truly creating their reality.

They judge their thoughts as negative or positive and use that as an indicator to what they can attract. They continue on as they previously did with over working themselves and taking lots of scattered action hoping to manifest their desires by simply thinking positively about their desired goal.

This method fails to produce their desired outcome. Action is needed in this physical realm to manifest the things we want. However, sometimes the only action that we do need is to develop a steady practice of creating the experience in our inner world.

How much action one would take would be in proportion to how strongly you connected with your vision. How much time did you spend creating your inner reality? As you strengthen your time mentally creating what you want, then much less physical action is required.

The stronger your inner creation the less physical action is required on your part. The less time spend holding your vision the more physical action you would need to take.

It’s very hard for most people to understand that all that is ever needed to create the circumstances that you want is your ability to enter into that deep inner reality which is within you.

This requires practice. As you grow in discipline and focus the stronger your ability will become in manifesting your desires. The law of attraction by itself is powerful but an even deeper understanding of the creative process is needed to manifest faster and stronger results.

Celebrating Success

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

In today’s world we get so caught up in our day to day activities and the routines of life we have a tendency to overlook all the success we have each day. We tend to view success as only a few significant events in our life such as graduating from college, getting married, our first job, our first child, our first big promotion. What happens when we achieve these goals? Or even worse what happens if we don’t achieve any or some of these events?

Does this mean we aren’t successful or we are done being successful? All too often it does. The good news is this does not need to be the case and the reality is we experience success every day of our lives we just forget to celebrate this success. Because many of our day to day successes aren’t marked with a big celebration they seem to loose their value.

We do a disservice to these events and ourselves by allowing this happen. We also create feelings of failure and lack of success by not truly recognizing all that we do each day that helps to make us happy and successful. We also risk loosing momentum towards larger success by giving up on all the little steps necessary by not putting value on them.

When we put value and recognize the little progress we make each day towards our larger goal we stay more motivated and on track to ensure we achieve our fullest potential. If you want to run a marathon you don’t just go out that day and run 26 miles. If you want to be a tremendous success in business you don’t just wake up one morning and are running a $500 million company.

Whatever you are looking to achieve in life the steps along the way and the overall mindset of success are critical. We need to celebrate each days success and build on it for the next day and begin to create a true mindset of success. We need to start thinking of ourselves as successful and then live into that reality. We do create our own reality and by thinking we are a success or thinking we are not that is exactly what we are.

I know all of this sounds great on paper and seems easy to do but how do we implement it into our lives and how do we make both the celebration and the act itself a habit thus ensuring greater success? The good news is that is the easy part we just need to be diligent in our efforts. The easiest way to start is to spend a few moments at the end of each day and write down 3-5 successes you had that day. You may be saying to yourself I don’t have that many successes each day. First that is probably not true, you just aren’t recognizing everything as a success.

Second the number doesn’t really matter the habit of spending some time each day and recognizing even a few events that were a success each day will build and before you know it you will have more. The number will also grow because you know at the end of each day you will be holding yourself accountable for your accomplishments. In addition you can start small and watch the list grow and expand in depth. Let me give a few examples that may help you get started: I got of the house by 7:30 am to be at the office on time, I committed to being at my sons/daughters baseball game and I made it, I ran 3 miles today, I did my morning walk, I finished the report for work, I followed up with my large account today, I didn’t eat that donut that was in the coffee break room in the office.

As you can see you can use many different aspects of your life to gauge your little daily successes. You can include work, family, personal, health, business, spiritual whatever you feel you wanted to achieve in a given day and were successful in accomplishing that is a success.

Success is a habit and by realizing just how successful we are each day in our lives we realize just how successful we are as individuals and start forming that habit. Good luck each day and congratulations on your success.

How to Know If Your Breakthrough is Imminent?

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

How do we know that our breakthrough is near?

Achieving success in life is almost down to a science now. We know what we need to do attain our goals and live the life of our dreams. However the road is usually not easy and things don’t always go as planned. All these difficulties cause many people to give up thinking they will never get to their destination.

It is estimated that most of those who give up do so just before their breakthrough. They had already covered 90% of the journey, and all that was left is a 10%. However those people didn’t know that. If they had known, they might have continued on.

 In his book “Think and Grow Rich” Napoleon Hill makes reference to a man called R. U. Darby and his Uncle who went drilling for gold. When they couldn’t find the gold deposits they gave up. However not long after they gave up, gold was discovered just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped. So is there a way to figure out if your success is imminent or is there no way to tell? To answer this question I have done a bit of research. I have looked at the lives of very successful people to see if there was some kind of pattern that I could discern. And what I found is not what you would expect.

What I found is that in most cases just before people got their breakthrough things got worse. People started to experience all kinds of crisis. Sometimes there were multiple crises. These are things that will make you question your sanity and will challenge your very fabric. And this is unfortunately where many fail the test. Those who are millionaires and billionaires today know what I’m talking about. They faced periods of upheaval in their lives and stuck through it. At this time it may seem like everything is turning against you.

Your family may turn against you. You may be accused of being selfish, of only thinking about yourself. The weather may turn against you; equipment that is normally reliable may suddenly start to malfunction. But this is the time when something called “faith” is required. Faith is the evidence of things not seen, of things hoped for. The Bible calls Abraham the called the father of Faith, because he is the first person who is recorded as having shown faith. What did Abraham do? He trusted God to give him a son, even though he and his wife were very old and therefore beyond the age of childbirth.

Abraham later followed the instruction of God to sacrifice his son, the very son that God gave him in a miraculous way. This didn’t make any sense, but still Abraham obeyed, trusting that God knew what he was doing and would somehow offer a way out. Indeed, God provided a way out. He called Abraham just before he killed his son and offering him a ram to be sacrificed instead.

Not many people know this but before Bill Gates got the big breakthrough that made him a household name, he was actually struggling financially. It was a contract by IBM, the world’s first PC maker that saved him. Others faced rejection. The founder of Hotmail Sabeer Bathia was rejected by 19 Venture Capitalists before he found someone who saw the potential of their idea agreed to support it.

On his non-stop around the world airplane flight Steve Fosset’s instruments indicated that he had too little fuel and would not make it to the finish line. He chose not to trust the instruments and to trust his instincts instead. He made it to the end with the fuel that he had. Non-stop around the world balloonists, Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard, also experienced instrument malfunctions as well as difficult officials in China and India who threatened to refuse them entry into their respective countries. Their instruments also malfunctioned, indicating that they wouldn’t make it to their end destination with the fuel they had. They continued, trusting their gut instead, and became the first people to circumvent the globe non-stop in a balloon. I can give you many more examples of people who had some “impossible” odds against them, yet kept a cool head and made it, in spite of.

So how will you know if your breakthrough is imminent? Look at the things that are happening in your life. Are they getting worse without any seeming cause? Are people going out of their way to make things difficult for you?

Your breakthrough may be just around the corner. So instead of giving up and becoming bitter towards what is happening in your life, accept “what is” and move forward. Forgive those who harmed you or made things difficult for you. Keep on doing the things that you know will bring you the success you crave and before you know it, it will be there.
