How the Law of Attraction can Work in Your Life

 

The Law of Attraction can be a very complex thing, but at its essence, it's actually quite simple. It is based on the idea that “like attracts like.” If you always think in a negative way, you will attract negative things to you. If you think in a positive way, you will attract positive things to you.

Once it's broken down into such simple terms, it's easy to see how this powerful law can affect great changes in your own life. How many times a day do you think something negative? Chances are, if you started to keep track, you'd be amazed at how many negative thoughts pass through your mind each day.

Using the Law of Attraction in Your Life

The Law of Attraction can have amazing applications in everyday life. Everything your job, your mood and your relationships can be affected by how you think. Although the Law of Attraction has many doubters, the basic principles of positive thinking are sound. After all, what bad could possibly come from positive thinking?

Let's use the example of relationships. If there is a friend or an acquaintance that you would like to know better, in a romantic way, you're undoubtedly thinking about them rather often anyway. However, all too often, we sabotage ourselves in our own minds. We think  discouraging thoughts about how he/she will never know we're alive, that they're too good for us, that we're not successful enough for this person.

Although they feel quite natural, these thoughts are actually believed to create a situation in which they are true. If we think we are not good enough, we won't be. Alternately, we think that we are good enough, then we are. Simple, yet very difficult to put into practice.

We're trained from birth to think negative thoughts about ourselves, and positive ones about others. This is basic politeness in a way, however, most of us allow this negative self-talk to run rampant in our minds, and to create a life that is much less than what we truly can achieve.

Going against this “training” feels very strange at first. It's much easier to think “She's so accomplished, she deserves much better than me,” than it is to think “I am just as worthy of her companionship as anybody else.” However, this is exactly how we must think if we are to create a life that we want.

Dedication is the Key

Simplified, the application of the Law of Attraction can be seen as positive thinking. Recognize every negative thought as it occurs, and quickly re-frame it into something positive. “I can't” becomes “I can.” This takes dedication, since most of us think in a negative manner with shocking regularity. However, with diligence and a commitment to changing our lives, we can slowly begin to train our brains to think differently. This new and different way of thinking is the first part of the law of attraction in action. Our new and positive thought patterns will create positive actions, because like attracts like. These positive actions will attract positive people and events.

Affirmations to Assist the Law

Affirmations, repeated statements that affirm a belief or reality which we want in our lives, can be effective. By repeating positive things, out loud and quite often, we can show our subconscious minds that these things are true. The subconscious mind does not learn in the negative, it learns in the positive, or the present tense. So, if you think something and word it in a negative way, the subconscious literally has no idea what you're saying. If you word your thoughts in a positive or present manner, your subconscious understands.

For this reason, an affirmation is always stated in the present or future tense, and in the present tense whenever possible. As an example, we'll use an affirmation about love. “I want love” will do no good, because it indicates futile desire, but no action. “I will find love” is much better. However “I attract love and I love all things in return” is an ideal form of this particular affirmation, because it is using the present tense and it encompasses all forms of love.

As you can see, the Law of Attraction secrets has the potential to create change in your life, if you follow some simple guidelines and truly dedicate yourself.
