The Law of Attraction is all about aligning your thoughts and actions into what you want to happen in your life. It practices the success principle of 'what you think about, you bring about'. This success strategy really gained prominence thanks to the movie The Secret, which had its 'world premier' in March 2006. Since then, millions of people all over the globe have applied the universal Law of Attraction into their daily lives and proclaim that their lives have been better ever since. So, should you be practicing the Law of Attraction as well?
You Cannot Escape the Law of Attraction...
One of the great things about the universal Law of Attraction is that its tenets are not hard to put into practice at all! In fact, many people say that the biggest secret in the movie The Secret is that its doctrines are not classified at all! The underlying principles of the Law of Attraction have been with us - ready to be practiced - all this time. So why then have we abandoned these steps to success?
Life happened and somehow, somewhere, people started believing that they do not deserve happiness. As such, people wake up afraid to expect the best and prepare for the worse. Do you see that this is still the Law of Attraction working? By THINKING that the worse will happen, people are bringing about problems to themselves. So kick the habit! Do expect the best and the best will happen to you.
Practicing the Law of Success from the movie The Secret Morning till Night
Here are some simple tips so you can start living the Law of Attraction and start attracting success into every aspect of your life.
Practice the attitude of gratitude the minute you wake up. Nothing can be a better caffeine kick than happiness so why not start your day with this Law of Attraction exercise: remember all the wonderful things you are (or ought to be) grateful for. Even on a subconscious level, a lot of people live as if they are 'victims' instead of 'drivers' of life. Avoid this trap by starting each day with thoughts of how great and beautiful your life is at the moment. This mental exercise will 'set the stage' of more beautiful things to come.
Pay it forward. The universe is not all about you. The Law of Attraction is based on the universal law of cause and effect and nothing can be more positively powerful than doing a good deed for someone. You don't have to go out and save lives but simple things such as helping an elderly cross the street or lift something, or help someone who's lost in your area can do wonders on two levels: firstly, you WILL feel good about yourself and if you're happy, the universe will smile back at you in one form or another; secondly, the person you assisted will think happy thoughts of you too further attracting positive vibes!
Align your outer world with your inner world. As mentioned in the movie The Secret, you cannot cheat the universe. Even if you think or say you're ready for happiness and success, the way you live, dress and act is the true measure. So synchronize your intentions and your actions. For instance, if you want that better-paying job, don't just wish for it; act on it! Prepare a knock-out resume, network with other people, change your wardrobe and dress for success, improve the appearance of your smile and more! Life success is not handed out, it is the end based on your means.
End the day with 'happy thoughts'! At the end of the day, do this simple Law of Attraction exercise: imagine yourself living a certain 'moment'. For example, in the romance department, close your eyes and envision that romantic dinner with your special someone (regardless if you already have a special someone or not!). Is your goal to purchase a new home? Close your eyes and picture yourself tending the garden at the back of your new home or sitting down and reading a book in your new home's living room. Remember, what you think about... you bring about.
The Law of Attraction, as advocated in the movie The Secret, is one of the most powerful doctrines we are made aware of (again) now. So grab this remarkable opportunity to make your life a success. Make each day count by living this success system that never fails.
The first step towards success using the law of attraction is to accept responsibility for the things that have occurred in your life, both good and bad. This is often the most challenging part of achieving success through manifestation because we are led to believe from childhood that our surroundings contribute in part to the territory in which we find ourselves. It's very hard to take be accountable and take on board the fact that your environment was not the major factor in each of these events; in many cases you will have no one to blame but yourself.
In order to help yourself move beyond these events take a moment and write down on a piece of paper all of the major events in your life (again, both good and bad). Leave lots of space beneath each one. Now, allow yourself a moment to go back and review these events. Write what you were experiencing emotionally at the time [if you can] they occured, how you felt before they happened and what events had happened before this. Chances are you are going to find that events occurring in your favor happened at times when you were possessed of a positive attitude and other things in your life were going right. On the flip side, negative events which occurred probably happened in the same period with other events in your life which caused you to have a negative outlook on life. Coincidence?
Once you have understood that you are responsible for your own fate it is time to go another step and determine what it is about your life that you would like to change. Do you want to find a new career? Move to a new suburb? Enter into a committed relationship? Receive a promotion?
Identify the things you want to achieve and write them down. Display them in a prominent place; being able to look at the anticipated results of your hard work will keep you on the right track. Essentially, with the creation of this list you are asking the cosmos for what you want. Take time to think on this for a while so that it is lodged strongly in your mind, and keep your goals specific; making a goal too large or too vague is an almost certain guarantee that you will not be able to get there because you will be too busy worrying about how you are going to achieve it.
Work to raise your vibrations so that they are all positive. Try to act and feel as though you are confident that the end result you are hoping for is going to occur. This is the bedrock of the law of attraction because it is very easy to allow your mind to wander to all of the obstacles which you may meet when attempting to fulfill your goals. This will cause your vibrations to become negative and will work against you rather than for you.
Accept that it 'can' happen. Many times your unconscious mind is your stumbling block; you are attempting to convince your conscious mind that something can happen while at the same time your subconscious is picking out the reasons that it will never work. In order to help yourself overcome this stumbling block and have complete faith in the fact that you will be able to effect this change in your life you should look again at the list you have made where you have written your goals and attempt to write them in terms that will help your mind and body accept them as fact.
It is recommended that you write these statements in the third person rather than the first; it is often difficult for the mind to accept something as fact when it is couched in such relative terms as I, me or my. For example, if you are attempting to find a new job you could say, "Millions of people every year work in jobs which make them happy". If you are seeking to enter a meaningful relationship you could say, "Millions of people around the globe have found their soul mate and are now happily settled in comfortable, established relationships".
The purpose of writing these statements down is to purge the negative vibes and doubts from your mind. If you are unable to accept the outcome as fact your subconscious mind is going to conjure a different outcome, and it is going to be this outcome that your mind and body focus on; therefore, this outcome is going to be the one that will become your reality and you will walk away absolutely certain that the law of attraction is one hundred percent false.
