Are You Stuck In One Cycle After Another? Blame The Law Of Attraction
So, life's just not working out . . .
You don't have enough money. Again. Your mate, who seemed so perfect just a few weeks ago, is starting to behave the same as your past lovers. Plus, you're finding it difficult to even go to work, yet you can't quit because you're barely making ends meet as it is.
You start to wonder why you keep repeating the same old cycles. It's been this way ever since you can remember. But it's not what you want. You want what you've seen others have. Endless time and money. There's so much more you'd want to do with your life. But you're stuck.
Surely there's a way out.
When I first heard the term, "Law of Attraction," I just figured it was some trend somebody invented, and is now getting rich off some book or video. But after I looked closer at it, I realized that it's what I've always believed all along. And it's so incredibly simple.
The law of attraction simply means that you create in your life whatever you focus on. Sort of like a positive attitude, but with more power. This law says that the thoughts you think on a regular basis become your reality. I can tell you first hand that this is true.
So, what's the science behind all this? Well, let's think about how you create. The results you get out of anything usually depend on what you do, your actions. If you have a thousand dollars, you can choose to invest it or you can choose to go shopping. Each of those actions will produce a very different result.
You're stuck where you are because of your actions. What you're doing or not doing is keeping you from reaching your potential.
I can almost hear you say, "But I've tried to change, and it's just so hard to do." And you're right. Most of us beat ourselves up when we fail to make a change that we know we need.
Diets and weight loss are prime examples. Most overweight people know they need to lose weight. Some even know their very lives depend on it. What usually happens, however, is that their dieting fails miserably, they gain even more weight, and lower their self esteem because they view themselves as weak.
Here is a liberating thought: It's not your fault. There, I said it. When you say you can't control it, you're absolutely right. You can't. At least, not with your present mindset.
Your actions, you see are controlled by your thoughts. Now, the simple solution might be to just change your thoughts, but that's extremely difficult, if not impossible to do on a conscious level.
But we can change our thoughts. Because while our actions are dictated by our thoughts, the thoughts we think on a regular basis stem from our beliefs. About ourselves, our world, people around us, etc. So, to change the way we think, we first must change our beliefs.
How in the world do we do that? First we need to ask ourselves how beliefs are created. There are two ways.
The first way is trust in an authority figure. Your father tells you as a kid that snakes are dangerous. Your doctor tells you that the growth on your neck might be cancerous.
Another way is experience. This kind of belief is purely subjective, and may contain no rationale whatsoever.
Imagine you are a young child and you approach your father for some affection. He turns away and tells you to stop bothering him. Now, you might interpret this as your father doesn't love you. He's pushing you away. You feel abandoned and hurt.
It might just be that your father isn't really pushing you away, he's just trying to meet a deadline for work, or any number of things. But that doesn't matter to you, and this belief plays in the background of your life until you die.
Beliefs don't just happen. They occur in one of the two ways I just mentioned. They need to be supported somehow.
It stands to reason, then, that to change you actions you need to change your thoughts; to change your thoughts you need to change your beliefs. But how do we go about changing a belief? If beliefs are created by our life experiences, how do we experience those events which will cause our beliefs to change?
Fortunately, all we have to do is to imagine. You see, your subconscious doesn't know the difference between what's real and what's imagined.
So, if you can intensely imagine your goal, and practice doing that for about 30 days, you will see some dramatic results. This much I can promise you.
As a hypnotherapist, I find that many of my clients sometimes have difficulty imagining their goal for as long as they need to. I solve this by making them a recording of my voice, and walk them through their goals. This greatly increases their chances of success.
If you have trouble imagining, you might try looking up a reputable hypnotherapist and doing something comparable.
The Law of Attraction is always working. Your life, in fact, is the way it is because of what you've attracted. If that's not acceptable to you, then it's up to you to change it.
