How much energy are you putting into what you don't want?
You know, when your mind-talk starts getting to you with restrictive, negative - even foreboding - thoughts.
"I'll never make it to my appointment in time. There's way too much traffic."
"I'm so bad at math, I'll never get my checkbook balanced. I hope I don't bounce a check."
"I sent my resume to 10 companies, but I know I won't get the job I really want."
"The economy is so bad, my business doesn't stand a chance."
You've heard about the self-fulfilling prophecy? Well, it's really just the Law of Attraction working.
The Law of Attraction says that I attract to my life whatever I give my energy, focus and attention to.
If you focus on bouncing checks and traffic jams - that's most likely what will turn up.
Every thought we have - with its accompanying emotion - carries a vibration that is released into the Universe and attracts back something with a matching vibration.
So fear attracts more fear; anger attracts more anger; confusion attracts more confusion.
Doesn't sound like much fun.
Turning this arrangement around requires being more clear about what we DO want and focusing on THAT instead - with an accompanying emotion that reinforces our clear thought.
When we place our orders with the restaurant called "Universe," we need to understand that the Law of Attraction puts no judgment on whether something is "bad" or "good" for us. The Law just follows the energy we put out.
If we put out "late" vibes and "heavy traffic" vibes, Universal Law obliges us by sending just those circumstances to us. We pull them in like a magnet.
The magnet of stuck traffic.
To turn traffic jams into traffic flow requires a turnaround in our thoughts and emotions - from "stuck" to "ease."
And we can plan and prepare for arriving on time, balancing our checkbooks and being hired for the right job using the same Law of Attraction to bring us what we want, instead of what we don't want.
Are you a business owner who is concerned about an uncertain economy?
One way to shift your focus is to start your day by thinking about how you'd like to have a particularly challenging item on your to-do list turn out. What is the best scenario you can envision? How does it feel when you see it already accomplished the way you'd like it done? Write it down.
This is your order to the Universe.
If you feel enthusiastic, grateful - or even relieved - about the outcome, focus on these feelings and the thought of a job well-done. Read your "order" a few times, with feeling, and know in your heart of hearts that the Law of Attraction is infallible.
Just make sure to act on any intuitive flashes, pay attention to people and circumstances that show up... and feel confident that your manifestation has a successful conclusion.
I have books on Universal Laws; I've seen "The Secret;" and I enjoy the clarity and simplicity of Abraham-Hicks.
But awhile ago, I came across a little e-book with such clear examples of *how* to write my orders to the Universe, that I wanted to pass this information along to anyone else who has been struggling with getting the "word pictures" just right.
Here's where you learn more about my dandy little find - it's called "Order Up!"
