To explain how affirmations work, it is necessary to understand these are only learnt through thought pattens developed through childhood through other people’s beliefs systems. Some of these work well but most are working against us creating fear from reaching our highest potential. Many of these beliefs may actually not be true or based on false invalid impressions constructed as a child.

By replacing negative affirmations and reinforcing positive affirmations you are challenging these negative beliefs by choosing self nurturing beliefs. Using positive affirmations forces us to keep focused on our inner goals and act as constant reminders to think consciously about our choice of words.

Positive affirmations will work better for you as long as you are determined to make a change and let go of your past and old ways of thinking. Reprogramming your mind will enable you to achieve the life you’ve always wanted for yourself.

You are unable to control other people’s thoughts but you can control your own thoughts. You are responsible for your own mind and how it operates. It is up to you to decide what is accepted as truth.

So how will you go about bringing positive affirmations into your life? Easy!

The most effective time to apply positive affirmations are right after waking up and before you go to sleep. During these times your brain waves are moving slowly and will be able to retain affirmations at a deeper soul level.

Writing notes and sticking it areas around your home is another effective way to reinforce these positive affirmations such as your bathroom, car, computer, mirror, and desk. The more you see them, the more effective it will be wired into your mind. The expected outcome is a change from the inside out.

Repeat, repeat, repeat your affirmations again and again out loud, internally or through recorded tape or CD’s. Also, another important fact to know is that memory is always associated with emotion. The stronger the emotion, the sharper the memory. So feel the joy, pleasure and satisfaction of the positive affirmations as though if you really do believe it.

You can create your own positive affirmations about anything in your life. Here are some examples I came up with.

Weight loss

I choose to be slim, fit and healthy

I am in control of my weight

In my mind I am slim, healthy and attractive

My body will soon follow my healthy thoughts

I will maintain my ideal weight

Self-esteem

I love myself just as I am

My life is wonderful and meaningful

I am important

I am happy being me

I feel good about myself

Money

I make more than enough money easily

Large amounts of money are coming to me

Money is attracted to me like a magnet

Being Positive

I am totally positive

I am in charge of my life

I see the positive things in all situations

Life is good to me

My life is a wonderful adventure

Your new life awaits for you. Start the change process now and watch your life unravel to a new and refreshing start.

So where do you start? Write a list of all the things you appreciate and keep it in a little book where you can refer back to when you are feeling down. What do you love about your life? What do you love about yourself? How about the things around you? What makes you smile?

Make sure you give full attention to all the things you love and cherish. Think about the people you love and write a list of the things you love about them. The outcome of this exercise will bring a positive feeling of joy and appreciation.

The things I personally love in life are the simplest things. Personally, clouds are one of the things enjoy looking at. Knowing you will never see the same cloud twice, and always seeing it take a different shape is a beautiful thing. A flower, scent, enjoying a wonderful meal, or even watching a bird are other examples. There are so many things to be grateful for… What are you grateful for?

Choosing the joy of appreciation is a humble experience. It is a powerful way to raise your vibration as it connects you to source energy.

Remember to appreciate yourself! Whatever you believe about yourself will be emitted out the universe and the universe will respond. Realise you are a wonderful person who is worthy of all the good things this world has to offer. You are beyond perfection just as you are. Focus on all the amazing things to appreciate about yourself. Know that there will never be a person like you to walk this universe and make the most of what you have right here, right now. You are one of a kind, a unique, special individual so do yourself a favour.. celebrate, appreciate and love yourself unconditionally.

Remember, If you give time to complain and blame remember the universe will take it as something you want more of and the universe will respond by giving you more things to complain about.

If you have an attitude of gratitude, you will feel great because it is a high vibration and the universe will bring you more things for you to be grateful for. As you apply the power of appreciation into your life today and everyday, you will attract more things into your life very quickly. So grab a pen, and write down your list today and enjoy each and every moment you see, feel, taste, hear and smell.

How you are feeling and thinking affects you more than you realise. Feelings of love, joy, happiness and peace are powerful magnets which draws you to the things you want and desire. It is the same for the opposite feelings. Negative emotions and feelings like hate, fear, anger are drawing you things that you do not want or desire. Whether you know this or not, you are constantly sending out a vibration to the universe and the universe responds.

“The environment that you find yourself in, whether favourable or not, is the product of your own life. Most people however, fail to understand this, and tend to blame others for their troubles” – Daisaku Ikeda.

 
So take a minute to have a look at your life right now! Write down your thoughts. What kind of thoughts are you thinking and how strongly do they resonate within you? Do you see a pattern of your thoughts reflecting it back into your life? Are you a miserable magnet or are you a happy magnet?

Once you know how to apply the law of attraction into your life you will attract the people and circumstances that are within a vibrational harmony with your thoughts and feelings. When you feel happy, you will attract happy people and situations. When you feel loved and appreciated you attract love and appreciation. When you feel rejected or depressed you will attract situations that will match exactly how you feel. So knowing this allows you to pay attention to your thoughts and feelings to actively create the life you want.

The gift of giving is the true meaning of success.  There are great lessons to be learned from one simple act.

One must understand and accept “the power of giving” is an extremely powerful act; which, in turn, will draw success and abundance in the life of the giver.  When performed unselfishly and unconditionally, with no expectations, it will create a magnetic force within your whole being and effect you life; taking place in the center of your existence, mentally, physically and spiritually.  In addition, you will feel a great sense of fulfillment.

The universal laws of spiritual, as well as, scientific are controlled by the acts of “giving and receiving”.

Where most people view giving, connected to money; the true meaning of giving goes way beyond money.  Allowing the fact, most donating is in the terms of money; one will usually find money scarce.  The mere though or act of giving tests our misconceived beliefs and awareness about inadequacy.  The amount we give, whether monetary or otherwise, does not measure our true worth.

Giving is a selfless, directly from the heart, act that can be very empowering as well as rewarding.  Not connected to any holiday celebration, birthday or any special occasion but an act of compassion.  Giving completely and unconditionally, to show gratitude and that you care and for no other reason; especially, not to expect something in return. Giving in this form, signals positive reactions; sets fire to your inner power and transmits positive energy that will draw a positive response from those around you.  this message you unconsciously send out, will produce a chain reaction of positive events in your life, leading you to true success.

The chain reaction can be overwhelming at times, but it will be very rewarding as well.  Those who share in this process will reap the rewards of their acts of giving, just as you have.

Simply and unconditionally giving, with complete acceptance and realizing you have plenty.  You can trust you will always have enough for all your needs.  This compassionate act of giving develops a bond and very close union with your higher power, universe, spirit, God or your supreme authority.  This connection is referred to as trusting in you higher power.  You believe and trust in God, you will always have plenty; more than you need and the more you can give to help others.  The greater your success will be.

The recipients of these selfless acts will in turn earn you, their love and respect.  People, in general, have the need and desire to return acts of kindness that they have received.  You will feel confident someone will be there for you, to help, because you first helped them.

Remember, your acts of kindness are unconditional; you should not expect anything in return from those you help.  From the goodness of your heart, share and you will be rewarded.  Make your reason for giving be the intense feelings of happiness and fulfillment.  Your higher power will pour out blessings upon you at the right moments in your life, in a way only he can, beyond any earthly understanding. When you reach out and give a helping hand, share and act of kindness, donate in a time of need; you will feel an overpowering sense of joy.  You will know the feeling of true success.

It is scientifically proven; you will enjoy a healthier, prolonged life when you receive that feeling of inner accomplishment and peace.  Life becomes more enjoyable when you incorporate a healthy habit of giving.

Always engage in giving from the heart; don’t allow fear and selfishness be your guide.  Be thankful and be aware of all the miracles that occur instantly in your life.  With the true gift of giving you will succeed.

Human nature and giving have a solid bond.  When you engage in this simple act, you discover joy and fulfillment, as well as attract an abundance of blessings.  These blessings will in turn, lead to true success in all forms.

It seems that the “Law of Attraction” had concepts that have been around for centuries with several authors exploring the concepts and writing about them. Currently, many books on the “law of Attraction” have been written. Discussed below are the more prominent and featured books published.

Hicks’ Law of Attraction

Ester and Jerry Hicks wrote a book simply named “Law of Attraction”. The two were inspired by what they call is a spirit who tells them that they need to instruct people to getting by they want just by believing. The book Law of Attraction is based on the practicalities and the principles of the Law of Attraction. If you read the book, you should have a greater understanding of how things turn out to be. It is then you will understand that the role you play is making the events around you too.

However, this book is not for everyone due to the religious theme it has in it. Yet, if you want to see how the Law of Attraction is applied, this is a good book to read.

Both Ester and Jerry Hicks have written several books on this law. One book is called “The Amazing Power of Deliberant Intent.” The book is finding and having about balance in your life. The concept Emotional Guidance System is used in this book to explain on how keeping your life on track while using the Law of Attraction.

One early book entitled “Ask and It is Given” and is a practical exercise in creating and achieving the life you want. The book has a 22-step process outlined that helps you use the law that will help you along the way.

Byrne Law Of Attraction Book

Author Rhonda Byrne also wrote a book on the law of attraction. She centered her book on the knowledge of the principles being handed down over time. The book focuses on certain people, past and present.

Those involved it the current thinking of Law of Attraction argue about how its progression works. Those people advise why it works and what it has done for their lives, good and bad.

Losier’s newer book on the Law of Attraction

Michael J. Losier currently had a new book published about the law. Its title is “Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don’t Want.” He talks quite a bit about positive and negative vibrations. The book is laid out in a step by step format.

Taylor focuses on Law of Attraction

Another author named Sandra Anne Taylor discusses how the law can work in the aspect of the love life. Her book is titled, “Secrets of Attraction: The Universal Law of Love, Sex and Romance.” She stresses how love is not a feeling but rather energy. She talks about of personal energy fields which affect the way people will perceive or see someone. This field, she said, changes or influences how people act when they are around other people. The principle behind the thought was to change how the energy is around people; in turn, changing the person’s love life too.

There are still numerous books out on the topic of Law of Attraction. By going to the library and looking them up or finding them on the Internet, maybe on Amazon.com or other bookstore sites. Reading these books could change your life.

Try to imagine if you had all the money you might need and want and never have the need to want for it again. Next imagine if you had immense affairs with everyone you knew and are in a wonderful state of well being. Again, imagine you spending your life in perfect harmony and in complete peace. Should you carry out the Laws of Attraction, it is said you will get these things and more so long as you believe it will be so.

The first thing to do is to perform the Law of Attraction and embrace the feeling of appreciation. Be thankful and grateful for all that you have and center on only the superior things in life. Doing so will bring positive sentiments according to the law.  Now those positive feelings will turn themselves into positive energy, thus according to the Laws of Attraction it is supposed to be.

It is when you send out the positive energy that you are to see good things return back to you through this law. For example, you are holding onto a lucky charm, say for instance, a special coin, by concentrating on those positive things it reminds you to be appreciative every time you touch it or see it.

Be aware of the thoughts you have according to the Laws of Attraction. Many people go through their days with flitting thoughts going in and out. Of course, many people pay little attention to this detail. Should you be conscious on the Laws of Attraction, then you can monitor the thoughts on a certain degree level. You can eventually get a feel for where your thoughts are headed. Do they lead down a negative path? If so, using the Laws of Attraction can change that.

You should, before much else, figure out what it is that you want. These things do not need to be things that are easy to get but rather things that can be attainable with a little bit of hard work. Going for your dreams shouldn’t be a hard thing. Example: the universe will not give a different exertion to give you something fantastic in return. Thus the Laws of Attraction applies to supply them.

Perhaps you really don’t know what you want. You have been told over and over again No, you can’t have that that you pretty much have stopped wanting it. Yet, it is time to do some soul searching and find out what you could get through those Laws of Attraction that is going to please you.

Go through magazines, head out to showroom floors and look at model houses. Who knows? Maybe some ideas will start popping out at you. Yet, the Laws of Attraction does not work this way. It works to remember that all you need is to trust that the good thing will happen and leave the rest up to the universe.

If you know the Laws of Attraction, it can alter your life. It takes certain mindsets to work within these laws but mastering it is never hard, even if it seems like it is. All you need is a bit of patience, time and above all else…faith.

It’s inevitable.

We are the only living, physical beings who desire good  health, wealth, relationships and a happy, fulfilling life.

Our desires never stop. There’s no limit as to how much we desire. We can never get sick of desiring.

Once you tell yourself you want something, it is added to your stream of desires.

One can only be satisfied once they receive what they want. So how does one attract and manifest their desires?

Using the law of attraction, anyone can attract anything or anyone into their lives. Here are three steps you need to know in order to make the law of attraction work for you:

1. The first step is to ASK. You ask through your attention. Ask the universe what it is you want. It is important that you ask in a positive way. You’re a source of energy, and whatever vibration you send out to the universe, you will get back in accordance to your vibrational match.

You do not have to tell the universe more than once. Once you ask, it will be given. If your vibrational frequency isn’t matching or in alignment with your thoughts then the law of attraction will not work.

2. This next step is important. You need to trust and believe that the universe will bring what you had asked for. Faith is key in this step.  You need to be clear on exactly what you want. Once you’re clear on what you want it is on its way to you.

3. This is the fun part. Once the universe has given what you had asked for, all you need to do is accept it.

The manifestation of your desires will not be instant, because there may be resistance holding it back.

As easy as it sounds, that’s how the law of attraction works. You cannot “practice” the law of attraction. It is like the law of gravity. You do not practice how to stay grounded, do you? So the law of attraction is law. It is the most powerful law in the universe. Start using it today to attract better health, wealth, love or anything you desire.
