1. Testing the water. Many people are skeptical about the law of attraction, and there are plenty of skeptics out there that tell them it doesn't work or that it's fake. Many people just want to try it and see if it works, and of course, for those people it won't.

You must be willing to actually commit to really giving it an effort if you ever wish to get results with it. You can't just want to try it out and hope that you will get everything you want. You can't just half heartedly attempt to use the law of attraction and test the waters. You either do or you don't, no in between.

Besides all of that, what do you really have to lose? Worst case scenario, you begin to be happier and more joyful by practicing to feel good more often than not. If that's the worst that can happen, then why not give it everything you have and really try it out and see what happens.

2. Not writing down what you want and immersing yourself in those things. Most people simply do not write down what they want, and they do not take the time to experience those things as much as possible. I can't stress enough how important it is to write down what you want on a piece of paper, cut out some pictures of those things and hang them up, and visualize having those things on a regular basis.

This is so important that I can't stress it enough. WRITE IT DOWN! It's a wonderful process not to mention an essential step in the law of attraction. I don't know if most people think that they don't have to write it down because they have it in their head or what is going on, but it's essential that you write it down.

This gives you a place to reference those things you want and actually read it over. It begins to move those things you want into the physical world. Seriously, take the time to think about what you want and write them down. It is a great journey of discovery and dreaming.

3. Not learning to speak about what they want properly. Most people talk about what they want "when" they get it. This is a huge mistake. Always, always, always talk about what you want in the present tense.

Some people will feel akward talking about what they want in the present tense if they don't already have it. Well, get over it. People may look at you strange, but they won't when you actually hold what you want in your hand. It's a small price to pay for the life of your dreams.

There are a few other things you can do in order to speak about those things you want in the present tense. Say that you are grateful to have, or that you love having. You can say having a million dollars in my reality is an amazing experience. Find ways to talk about what you want as though it's already yours.

These are just a few mistakes that people make. Overcoming these obstacles allows you to really move forward and start attracting what you want. Work toward overcoming these mistakes and anything, and everything you want is within your grasp.
