I cannot start this weeks blog without commenting on the fact that I just signed my very first book contract with a publisher! Writing a book has been something I have been dreaming about, thinking about, talking about and believing would happen one day, for almost four years! Can’t believe it’s finally come true!
The reason I wanted to share this, besides because of excitement, is to talk about something that affects each and every one of our lives, even if we don’t realize it. This is “The Law of Attraction.”
I am sure most of you have heard about this “law” before, but if you haven’t here is a very quick definition, “You attract what you think most about.” Now I know there are certain life circumstances that people have a hard time understanding why they would want to attract those instance into their lives. Rather than focusing on those negative instances from your past, which from my understanding has a lot to do with deep seated beliefs that people may not even be conscious of, I want to focus on what you can do right NOW to shift your energy and thinking around TODAY.
Step One: Write Out What You Wish You Could Have In Your Life
*you do not need to know how whatever you want is going to happen, all you have to do is write it out
Step Two: Believe That What You Wrote Down Will Happen
*again you don’t need to know how this is going to happen, you just need to hold the belief that it will
Step Three: Talk About It, Write More About It, Dream About, Put Pictures About It Around You, Set Goals Around It
*the more you focus on what you want and talk as if it is going to happen by using terms such as…..
“When such and such happens..” versus “If such and such happens…” and “I am…” versus “I will…” you begin to proclaim to the universe and your sub-conscious mind (which is your ticket to making things become a reality) that this is what you want and will be doing one day soon
*again you don’t have to know how, you just need to believe
*I know this may seem silly and uncomfortable at first, but the more you do it the less weird it feels, I promise!
Start with something small and try to attract that to you. Once you see this working with little things try for something bigger!
Step 4: Take Action When The Universe Presents You With What You Asked For
*often times when we receive what it is that we asked for FEAR, otherwise known as our EGO, takes over and tries to talk us out of taking it. What comes to you at that time, may seem coincidental, but the truth is you asked for it by doing Steps 1-3 above, so the universe listened and gave it to you just like you requested
*it is now your responsibility to take action and accept the gift that you asked for even when/if FEAR is trying to hold you back.
My ego certainly spoke up for me when I was thinking about signing with this publisher.
It stated things such as:
What if no one buys the books? What if the book sucks? What if you loose a lot of money in the process? What if this is all a waste of time? What if…What if…What if….otherwise known as…Fear…Fear..Fear
We do have a choice in this matter though:
Allow fear to control us or our dreams and desires to….the choice is yours!
This week I want to challenge you to focus on one small thing that you want to attract in your life.
Maybe its a free cup of coffee or a parking spot available when you go to the mall. Start small.
I also want to challenge you to follow the 4 steps above and write out something that is a CRAZY WILD DREAM of yours, that when it one day happens you’ll know you were part of the process of attracting it purposely!
