Maybe you’re confused by the LOA, so here’s the law of attraction explained in simple steps.
When I first watched the film The Secret, I was sold. I went about visualising things trying to manifest my best life. Eventually I grew tired of it and gave up, falling back into my previous patterns and daily bad habits!
No wonder things didn’t change for me!
It wasn’t until I was really struggling in life that I decided enough was enough. I had to do something about it and I remembered the film The Secret. There had to be something to it so I went back and found all the books I could on the topic of the law of attraction. Checkout some of them here: Law of attraction pdf.
Law Of Attraction Explained In Simple Steps – Thoughts
Ok let’s start with your thoughts. Firstly thoughts do become things, but you don’t need to worry. This takes years and decades and doesn’t happen immediately. For small things you can manifest them quite quickly. For larger things, it will take some time. Say you want a cup of coffee. That’s easy, you can go and make one in the kitchen. What came first the coffee or the thought of it? See, it works!
If you want to manifest a new job, that’s going to take a little longer. You’ll need to think about what kind of job you want and perhaps even apply to a few and get interviews. Personally, I’ve never had much luck applying to jobs. I find jobs through people more often than not!
Want to make a million? Well that’s going to take a serious amount of time. But, it’s possible if you believe it is. So without the belief, you won’t even try. Get started with something simple and believable for you. Then, as your confidence grows in this, you’ll be able to shoot for ever larger and more exciting targets.
Exercise: Write Down A Single, Specific Target/Goal right now! Something you want, is believable and has a short term 3-6 months target
Law Of Attraction Explained In Simple Steps – Visualisation
We often day dream throughout the day; by drifting off into a hazy state of mind and thinking about the things we would love to happen in our lives. We can also get caught up in unpleasant daydreams such as thinking of an argument of fight with a boss or our partners or friends.
The key to the law of attraction to attract the things you want is to focus on those visualisations which we want to happen. When we daydream/visualise, we are sending strong signals to our unconscious mind to let it know what we want to create.
Get conscious about what you’re daydreaming about and shift the focus to create only those things you have consciously chosen to give attention to.
Exercise: Identify a daydream/visualisation which is pleasant to think about and in line with what you really want to create. Commit to running it every day at least twice in your mind.
Being Mindful Of Your Thoughts, Words and Emotions
Our old programs can run the show unless we take charge of our minds. One way to get more conscious about our thinking processes is to meditate regularly. With meditation, we calm down the constantly running dialogue in the mind and learn to observe the chatter rather than engage with it. When we create this space, we can realise that we are not that voice in our head.
As we become more experienced at meditation, we bring this awareness into our everyday lives. This in turn can help us become more conscious about what we think, say and the emotions we are giving constant attention to.
Exercise: Stop For 5-10 minutes and sit quietly if you can. Watch your mind without engaging. Just be the observer and notice where your thoughts are.
LOA Explained In Simple Steps – Words
Your words have power because you impress them upon yourself and others and they sow seeds in your mind and in those around you.
So be mindful about how you talk, particularly about how you talk about yourself. Do you sell yourself short? Do you talk down about yourself? You need to reverse this habit and start to become your own best friend.
Affirmations are a big part of the law of attraction. You can use affirmations to talk yourself up or down. More often than not, people use affirmations in a backwards way. They declare that they are “no good at this, or that”, that “they can’t do something” or that “life is hard”, which of course it becomes; because you’re affirming it to yourself.
Exercise: Write down some of the reasons why your life isn’t perfect, or as you’d like it to be. Then, next to each one write a positive affirmation stating how things will be (in your perfect scenario). Read them out every day to yourself.
LOA Images and Emotions
You talk to your unconscious mind in images and emotions. Think about how a dream is and how you remember dreams. They are usually in the form of images and feelings/emotions. Emotions are powerful indicators to your unconscious mind. Even if you think positively on the surface (superficially), and your emotions are very low or depressed, they (emotions) will have a much stronger effect on your ability to create what you want in life.
So, in order to use the law of attraction more effectively, you need to create positive emotions and feelings about your life and yourself. Imagine yourself living your perfect life and all the emotions surrounding you. Live the experience in your mind so you engage in all the emotions you will be feeling. Even though thoughts become things, emotions are much stronger attraction factors, so you need to engage emotion and feeling when “speaking” to your unconscious mind.
Exercise: Stop for a few minutes and imagine how it feels living your perfect day. What will you be doing, how will you feel? Really live it in your mind.
Law Of Attraction Explained In Simple Steps – Unconscious Magnets
The law of attraction works by drawing us to situations and events which we create, whether we are conscious of the creation process or not. Much of the time, we are unconscious of many of our attractive forces. Some of these might be conscious efforts to attain something in life. However, if you’ve ever had the experience of never quite reaching the level of success or happiness which you most crave, this can be due to some unconscious success “blockers” which are holding you back.
These can be unconscious fears and feelings of inadequacy and hesitation which hold us from our best lives. Sometimes these are old traumas which are embedded in the subconscious mind and which we hold onto as important ‘world view’ blocks which keep us ‘safe’. In truth, they don’t keep us safe. We just like the security of consistency in an inconsistent world.
These kind of blocks can be uncovered by a therapist, NLP practitioner or hypnotist. An example is a phobia of spiders. If someone has a phobia, they often picked it up through a traumatic experience which they have blocked from their conscious mind. They don’t know why they avoid spiders, they just do!
A similar thing can occur when trying to change things in your life. You may have arranged your life to avoid certain situations and circumstances. This can hold you back from growing and attaining more happiness, wealth or success in any given area. By uncovering and accepting the blockage, it can loosen its grip on you. Other times more in depth work might be needed.
If you think you have a fear, phobia or unconscious blockage to forward growth in life, see a therapist or hypnotist who can help you uncover that particular blockage.
