Using the Law of Attraction Effectively

Introduction

There's been a lot of chatter on the internet these days about the Law of Attraction, made famous in this generation by "The Secret," and also in past generations by books such as "The Power of Positive Thinking" and "Think and Grow Rich." Yet, many people have heard the message of the Law of Attraction and wonder to themselves: "What are some specific ways I can use the Law of Attraction to better my life?" Well, I'm here to tell you that there are many ways to tap into this amazing power, including taking the first step, listening to intuition, removing negativity and replacing that negativity with positivity. The purpose of this article is to show the reader how to use these techniques as a starting point to achieving the life he or she deserves.



Take first step, then the next , then the next...

Many people, when reading for the first time books such as "Think and Grow Rich" or watch the video "The Secret" make the mistake of thinking that all they have to do now is plop themselves on the couch and do a little visualising or say a few affirmations. I'm sorry to say that I was one of those people but I can say with absolute certainty nothing could be farther from the truth. "Thinking" about the kind of life you want is actually only the beginning. There is work involved but don't worry, once you see those initial results I'm positive that you'll find it quite enjoyable. All that you need to do is take the first step which seems impossible if you don't know what that first step is, which leads us to the next technique:



Listen for Instructions

When using the Law of Attraction, it's necessary to take a little quiet time in order to listen to your intuition to find what your next step should be. This is so your Higher Self, no matter what you choose to call it can speak to you in that "still, small voice" that holds all the wisdom you need. The best way to do this is to simply be still for five to thirty minutes. By doing this in the morning and in the evening, you're sure to get the calm, peace of mind needed to listen to your inner voice thoughout the day. When you're in tune with you inner self, you're able to be "in the flow" so to speak, and you'll be more open to ideas that you flash upon.



Remove Negativity in Thought, Word and Action

The main thing that keeps you from getting what you want is negative thinking or in other words, thinking about what you don't want. When this happens, it's just proof that the Law of Attraction is working as perfectly as if you were getting what you asked for, because what you're asking for is what you don't want. For example, if you want to quit smoking, your predominant thought shouldn't be to stop smoking but to have healthy lungs and clean smelling clothes,...etc. In my opinion, the word smoking shouldn't even be entered into your thoughts. There's one thing to remember: it's necessary to replace whatever negative thoughts you have with positive ones.



Replace Negativity with Positivity

As stated above, it's necessary to replace those negative thoughts with positive ones. This is sometimes easier said than done, however, since we may actually think that our negative thoughts are positive, as in the stop smoking example. That's why you have to be vigilant that the thoughts that you think may be positive contain no trace of the negativity that you want to get rid of. It's really not difficult: simply make sure that you think only of the life you want to live.



Conclusion

Well there you have it, four ways to help you use the Law of Attraction to get what you want out of life. But these aren't the only ways. To get more information on how to use the Law of Attraction to your advantage, I suggest you watch "The Secret," or read such books as "Think and Grow Rich" and "The Power of Positive Thinking." I invite you to search out there for even more ways to use the Law and I wish you love and happiness for all your days.
