If you are reading this then you have probably heard of the Law of Attraction. You’ve probably read the book, watched the movie, or at least heard of The Secret.
What I find fascinating is that three years after the movie launched, there are still so many people who AREN’T getting the results they want!
But according to the movie it’s so simple! Focus on what you want with positive emotion, and it will eventually manifest.
They outline methods like visualization, meditation, and gratitude, which all lead to the acheivement of your desires.
Sounds great!
BUT, most of the people that I know haven’t had life changing events happen. Their lives seem pretty much as they were a few years back - or in some cases, worse…
Here’s something I wish they told me when I first watched the movie. That the ability to create your reality through focusing your thoughts and emotions takes practice. That your mind muscle is exactly that, a muscle, and it needs to be worked out!
At first you can focus all you want on the things you want - but in the begining your mind is not strong enough to bring you the results in your timeframe. What happens next is natural, people stop.
They stop with the visualizations, the affirmations, the gratitude journal, because they see no results.
Imagine going to the gym for a two months and seeing NO results, would you continue?
The trick to mastery of the Law of Attraction is (unfortunately) exercise. The challenge is that we want results NOW and don’t want to put in all the work, at least I didn’t :)
I can tell you from experience that the more you focus your thoughts on what you want, the faster things happen in your favor. In the beginning it can take months before something comes to fruition…
Now that I am consistent with my affirmations, visualization, and gratitude…the things that I want show up in days!
It’s the coolest thing to have the Universe give you what you have been asking for - but it takes some exercising!
I always say to start small, that builds the belief muscle, then over time (months) you’ll be so convinced that EVERYTHING is happening in your experience because YOU attract it, you’ll only focus on what you want.
Everything you want in life will then come, this I know for sure…
So start today with a simple affirmation and repeat it for the next few weeks, test the theory and prove to yourself that you indeed have the power…try this one, or something like it:
I attract a free cup of coffee.
and once you get it, be grateful ;)
