Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

Practicing self talk means giving purpose to your positive reinforcement, motivation and recognition. This is the same talk you would give a friend so be kind and give it to yourself. Congratulate yourself when you have a success and remember all your abilities, accomplishments, strengths and skills. I suggest you make yourself an accomplishment board or journal and record all your successes — both small and large. Review your progress periodically and acknowledge where you have gone and keep an eye on where you are still going.

Use your self talk as a tool for success. Make it work for you. What you repeatedly say to yourself has a profound impact on your self worth and performance as well as eventual successes. Remember that your subconscious records all your thoughts and triggers physiological responses to match the images and thoughts you have of yourself. Make this work for you by keeping your self talk positive and reinforcing it with positive affirmations. For example, I did a great job on the research project my boss asked me to do. The research gave him the valuable information he needed to make an informed decision. I enjoyed doing this research and look forward to being asked again. My work is done in a professional manner and informative and complete.

As well as keeping your thoughts positive, it is imperative that you stop the negative chatter. Your mind records the negative chatter as easily as it does the positive talk. Your subconscious believes your negative chatter when it is repeated in your mind over and over. If you catch yourself using negative chatter, stop and rephrase what you said in a positive manner. Eliminate the negative words. Focus on using positive terms and affirmations.

Make your positive self talk and communications an everyday habit. A habit is created if you do something 21 days in a row. It is truly a very short time to focus and create a habit of ensuring positive self image. Try making small changes in your vocabulary. Substitute the phrase “I will try” with “I will”, or “I should do” with “I will do”. Try saying “I want or desire to” or “I choose to” instead of “I must”. “I can” instead of “I can’t”. Just the shift in some of our common terminology makes a huge difference in our subconscious and self image. Watch what you say during the day and see how many words that you say have a negative connotation to them. Learn how you can rephrase those statements as you acknowledge them.

Focus your positive thoughts with affirmation statements. These are the reminders that will help you achieve your goals and success. They are the positive mental sticky notes that will motive your mind to work for you instead of against you.

Here are a few tips on how to use the powerful affirmation tools as mental reminders. * Use personal statements. Use “I” or your own name. * Keep your statement short, sweet and to the point. * Phrase your statements in a positive way. Remember the mind accepts the truth as it is worded. Use only positive words — leave out the negatives. I.e. I will not be late for work today vs. I will be on time for work today. * Use a positive emotion in your statement. This excites me or I feel wonderful. Positive emotion strengthens the affirmation. * Phrase affirmation statements as facts instead of a wish. Complete your statement as if the goal has already been attained. Your mind believes mental messages and works to make them a reality even if they are not right now. * State your affirmations at least 6-8 times during the day. Start by waking up with a positive thought, in the shower, brushing your teeth, driving to work, taking a lunch break, before going into a meeting, cooking dinner, getting ready for bed. There are literally hundreds of opportunities throughout the day when you can think of a quick affirmative thought. It is very important to start and end your daily with positive affirmations. It sets the tone for the day and closes the day with a positive thought. Repetition is the key to habit. Repetition enhances self confidence and stimulates your mind to help achieve your goals.

I cannot emphasize enough the power self talk and positive affirmation statements can have upon the quality of your life. They propel you towards your goals that you have identified and desire to accomplish. Even if you work hard every day, without goals, your life is without direction. It is like a ship without a rudder sailing aimlessly through the seas.

Use these powerful tools of positive talk and positive affirmation statements to help speed and direct you toward your dreams and desires.

I have learned a lot about the Law of Attraction over the years, and one of the most important lessons I learned was one of the hardest for me to put into practice. But once I did learn — it was a whole new world.

It is the lesson of simply feeling good now regardless of the circumstances. Not waiting until this was done first, or that was accomplished before I would allow myself to feel better.

There is a favorite quote of mine from Abraham-Hicks that simply says “You can never get it wrong and you can never get it done.” At first the last part may seem a little disheartening because unconsciously many of us believe that there is an invisible finish line somewhere, but if you think about it truly you will realize that one doesn’t exist.

Think back if you will and see if this sounds familiar to you.

1. As soon as I am done with high school and become an adult, then I will be happy.
2. As soon as I graduate college and start my new career than I will be happy.
3. As soon as I get that promotion, then I will be happy.
4. As soon as I meet the person of my dreams and get married, then I will be happy.
4. As soon as I own my own home, then I will be happy.
5. As soon as I have 2.5 children, then I will be happy.
6. As soon as my children are old enough to feed and clothe themselves, then I will be happy.
7. As soon as my children are old enough to move out of the house, then I will be happy.
8. As soon as I retire, then I will be happy.

According to the list above we will not allow ourselves to be happy until age 75! Not to mention that the list above is not even half of it. How about all those times you told yourself, as soon as I get that bonus check, lose those 10 extra pounds, get the construction finished on the house, etc.?
The fact of the matter is, we do not ever get it done, and nor are we supposed to. We are creative beings. We are here to create always — in all ways! If it was “all done” we would have no reason to be here anymore.

So if the above statement is true, there is no sense in putting off happiness until . . . because there will never be an until. We will always be desiring more.

Now some people might consider this a conundrum. Such as a which is it? Should I just be happy with what I have or should I always strive to create more?
The answer to that is both! Be as happy as you can right now with what you have as well as look with excitement at the more you can create! It is simply a myth that says a happy, content person is an unmotivated one. In fact, if you look around you - you will find the opposite is true.

It is the happy, confident, satisfied people who can make a success of everything they touch. They are the ones with all of the friends and connections! They are the ones that have everything just fall into place almost effortlessly. They are the ones who don’t mind taking a new risk because they are the ones not basing their self worth on the failure or success of that risk. They are the ones who say cheerfully “Oh well, that didn’t work out, I’ll just give something else a shot!”

And this attitude of coarse brings us back to how the Law of Attraction really works. When you are on a positive vibrational level more good things come to you.

So stop waiting to be happy! Write down all the positives in your life right now. Spend your time appreciating every little thing. Start realizing that just because you are happy does not mean that you will not want to accomplish anything more. Realize it is just the opposite. Knowing that you don’t “need” more to be happy takes the pressure off. Knowing that you can be happy regardless of the circumstances makes any “goals” much less intimidating.
So enjoy high school now and appreciate all the new experiences; enjoy college and the fun of learning something new; enjoy your singledom and appreciate the freedom of being able to do whatever you want to do whenever you want, enjoy taking care of the very young ones and appreciate that all they need in this world to be happy is you, enjoy the ones who are growing older now and saying and doing the funniest things, enjoy the current job - do it to the best of your ability and enjoy the company of your coworkers as you work up the corporate ladder. You get the idea. Find all of the positives in every position you find yourself in while striving to create even better experiences.

One day when you look back, you will feel so much satisfaction knowing that you enjoyed every single minute of your journey, that there is not a spare minute for regrets.

Happy Creating!

Wow! Another new year? Where did all the time go? As you look back, did you achieve all that you set out to do last year? Are you where you want to be in all aspects of your life? How long did you follow through on your New Year’s resolutions? Or did they sputter out within a few days or a few weeks?

Well, now we get to start all over again. The good news is 2008 is the year of New Beginnings! In numerology,it is a ‘10’ year (2+0+0+8 = 10) which provides the positive energies of: creativity, expansion, progression and future oriented, leadership with courage, wisdom, and knowledge, interactive, self sufficient, high aspirations, and magnetic forces to assist in our creations. So in 2008 you can take all the lessons you’ve learned and completed from the past and apply them so you can consciously create your future. And this leads us to the Universal Law of Reflection . . . is your life reflecting back what you envision?

The Law of Reflection is ultimately the representation and manifestation of “As Above, So Below”. The Universe will reflect back to you what you shine into it. You may want to create ‘be-ing’ and living ‘Heaven on Earth’ within you and around you. However, that may not what is necessarily showing up in your life if what you are sending to the Universe is somehow skewed. The Universe reflects back to you what you are giving to it through the expression of Self whether it is in your thoughts, words, feelings, or actions. Remember, all of these are energetic vibrations which ultimately manifest as form in your life.

So if your life is not what you envision, ask yourself where are you out of alignment with your dreams. If you desire love in your relationships and life, are you expressing love to yourself and others? And, of course, you must begin by loving yourself first then share the love with others; not the other way around. Do you love yourself free of conditions or are you judgmental and continually beat yourself up? What is the nature of your self talk? Do you even pay attention to the thoughts, words, feelings, and actions that you have toward yourself? Many don’t. This is the opportunity for you to become more conscious with your energy toward Self and others.

I love the Awareness Jar process to help people become more conscious about what they are truly creating within and around themselves. Find a big empty jar and list the types of negative energy you put out to the Universe. As you think, say, feel, or do anything negative that you have identified and want to change, you pay the jar $________ (decide on an amount that stretches you!). Some examples include: expressing lack or limitation, saying “I always or never”, “I’ll try”, “I don’t know”, “I can’t”,
“I should or you should”, “I’m stupid”, or saying “I’m sorry” as an automatic response or when you don’t mean it, feel you’re not good enough or worthy, think something is too hard, do not fully commit, gossip about others or continue passing on hearsay, not deal with a person directly, engage in negative name calling, or take things personally.

The moment you become aware of any of the above negative expressions or behaviors, immediately identify a counteractive positive expression or behavior. Now, tell the Universe to Cancel or Delete the negative energy you originally sent, then send forth your new positive energy by claiming it as if it is occurring in the present tense. Initially, this allows your small egoic fear-based mind to be conditioned and uplifted into your Divine Mind and you will eventually feel it, know it, and believe it. You want to give your current mind a new job. The new job is to catch what you are honestly thinking, saying, feeling, and doing then to replace it with what you truly desire. You do it immediately as it happens. If you are at work or someplace else, you write it down and make sure to pay the jar when you get home! And no cheating! Commit to follow through on this for a minimum of 30 days with 90 days being optimum or until you have broken your old mind set and habits. Once you’re done, go out and have fun with your $s!

If you are putting out to the Universe that you want love but doing the opposite of what you intend, the Universe will reflect back to you the energy you actually sent forth. Think of the Universe as your mirror. “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the ____________ of them all?” If you are not the most lovable of them all (to yourself) then you cannot be that with others or expect the Universe to bring it to you. But the Universe will support you by bringing you opportunities to see where you are and are not love. This shows up as the people and situations that bring you the experiences and lessons about love.

I found I kept attracting the same type of man in my personal Beloved relationships. I desired a relationship that was full of love, honor, respect, cherishing, nurturing, fun, compassion, passion, integrity, openness, intra-dependence (versus co-dependence), and honest communication. What I actually created was so far from what I desired that my body had to get my attention by becoming physically sick thus showing me, “This is not it!” The reflection was so intense so I had to look at why this was occurring. I knew it was not about who he was or was not; it was my journey to explore, learn, and heal what was coming to the surface for me to address.

In being willing to go into the awareness no matter where it took me of why the relationship was showing up the way it was, I was able to be honest with myself even if the Truth hurt. In being compassionate with myself, I was able to be present with the True energetics – the thoughts, words, feelings, and actions that I had rather being judgmental of what I was discovering from the past or what I was presently creating. The Universe reflected back to me where I needed to refine and learn how to love, respect, and honor of my Self more deeply and where I needed to communicate with my Self more openly and honestly. As I did this, I was able to admit the relationship I was in no longer served me; I experienced, learned and healed what I needed to so I could attract the man I truly desire. And interestingly enough, each man I date now is closer and closer to whom I envision my Self to be with in a committed Beloved relationship.

Remember the Universe provides you with an infinite amount of possibilities and opportunities; it does not create your life, you do. What will the Universe reflect back to you in 2008; what’s in alignment and what’s out of alignment within your expressions? What is it that you will consciously choose to create in 2008? It’s your choice – you are the Co-Creator of your world!
