Build Your Personality

The law of attraction is a simple rule which says we attract what we focus on everyday. This means our negative thoughts aren't just making us unhappy, they are actually dangerous. When we stress about what we don't have, we actually cause ourselves to be more without and more stressed. When, instead, we make our thoughts peaceful and grateful, we attract more peace and reason to be thankful into our lives. So, the question is, how do we keep our thoughts from becoming negative? Is there a way to take our fears and worries and make them positive so that they work for us? We actually can control what we think about and how we think about it. This process takes time, dedication, and vigilance, but, eventually, we can keep ourselves from being dragged down and trapped in negative thought cycles.

For the purpose of this article, we will use the example of a person who would like to increase their wealth. It is important to begin by acknowledging your thought patterns. If you are constantly thinking you don't have enough money, you won't. It is important to begin saying positive statements regarding your finances and to do so using the present tense. This is because when we say something regarding the future, it may not come about. For example, if a person were to think or say they will be rich in the future that day may never come. When we act as if we already have what we want, something almost magical begins to happen and our minds begin to believe it. This thought is then put out into the universe and we get back what it is we are thinking about or saying, therefore, more money will begin to come our way.

When we are feeling anxious about finances, instead of worrying or saying to ourselves something like, "I never have enough money," or, "I'm tired of being broke," we can change our focus: "I had enough money to pay my rent or mortgage this month, and I am grateful for that. I know I will always have more than enough money for what I need." We can also say, simply, "I don't have to worry about money. I always have more than enough." The latter is a positive affirmation. Using affirmations helps to program our minds to think differently about our situation. By repeating an affirmation like the one above, we help ourselves believe it is true, and, incredibly, it eventually becomes true. It may sound strange, but it really does work. When we tell ourselves we already have something that we wish to have, or when we visualize ourselves having something or doing something, we begin to believe in it, and that belief causes the Universe to help us make it a reality.

There is another tool, called a vision board, which can be used to help the law of attraction work for you. You get a board; it can be cardboard, poster board, or wood. Then, you decorate it with pictures, images, sayings, and anything else that is related to your goal. You then place the vision board in a prominent place in your home or office space. The purpose of this is to have a visual reminder of what you want from life. When you are confronted with images of your goals on a daily basis it can help to solidify what you want out of life.

After you have changed your thought patterns and have begun saying positive statements you should soon begin to notice a change. That's not to say that you can relax in a lawn chair next to the pool day after day and expect to get rich. You need to take action and do your part to help the law work. The law of attraction works from repetitive, positive statements and a change in the way you think and act. The final way in which the law of attraction works is this; you must be thankful for all that you already have. When the universe senses you are thankful for what you have, it will be more willing to send more your way. Regardless of what we would like more of, most of us have plenty to already be thankful about. On a daily basis this is what you need to do: think and say positive statements about your financial situation, make a vision board to help you visualize what your dream looks like (this is not necessary, just a tool to help the process), take action when opportunities present themselves, and be thankful on a daily basis for what you already have. When you put all of these together, you can get amazing results with the law of attraction. If you begin with a smaller goal or desire you will see how it works faster than if you choose a larger goal. Remember to do all of these things daily and soon you will begin to see the law of attraction work for you.
