Gratitude and The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is the name given to the belief that "like attracts like" and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, you can bring about positive or negative results.

Many are hopeful that saying positive affirmations for long enough, will change negative beliefs into positive beliefs and their goals and dreams will manifest.

That can work to a point. Unfortunately, often affirmations don’t work and it can be frustrating.  When we try the affirmation route to attract good things, we are accessing the conscious mind. The problem is that the subconscious mind runs 95% of our lives.

To attract what we want, we need to address the underlying beliefs we hold in the subconscious mind. 

Our subconscious mind might believe, “I don’t deserve that extra $20,000, my parents never made that much, we didn’t have much money, who am I to think I could make that much more?” Or you may sabotage a great relationship because you don’t believe you are worthy of someone who loves and cares for you that much. Perhaps you witnessed your parent's negative relationship, they divorced and you vowed you would never let that happen in your life, therefore unconsciously you sabotage any relationship that may threaten the vow you made when you were young. Even though another part of you wants a good relationship.

We are complex individuals and each of us has a unique history. Our subconscious beliefs were set at a very young age. We imprint our parent’s and ancestor’s beliefs. We learn beliefs about ourselves in relationship to those who are most important to our survival, our nuclear family. We also make vows and can gain a negative opinion of ourselves through experiences we had at school.  You might have had a bully tormenting you or a teacher who made fun of you. You made a decision about life every time there was this kind of trauma. Some deal with these things well and have loving and supportive people who can help them work through these traumas. Often these experiences are stuffed down and not talked about, we take on shame and guilt for who we are. These beliefs don’t go away unless the trauma is healed and new beliefs learned.

EFT and Matrix Reimprinting can Help Change Negative Beliefs

All is not lost though. If you have negative subconscious beliefs we now have epigenetic techniques and therapies such as EFT, and Matrix Reimprinting that can help us to change those negative beliefs. We can change these subconscious beliefs about ourselves and what is possible fro the cellular and subconscious levels. 

Gratitude

Another simple way that can help us shift from negative energy to a more positive outlook is to write a gratitude list every day. Or just make a habit of thinking about all the things you could be grateful for. You can say them out loud if that helps. 

Write a list of all that is working in your relationships and work situation even if it isn’t your ideal job or most ideal relationship. It can be the impetus for you to move to a better, more meaningful job or relationship. 

You will begin to attract more of the same positive experiences into your lives. What your mind is constantly thinking about is what it will attract. 

When you are thinking about what is NOT working in your life then that is exactly what you will attract, more and more experiences that are negative to your well-being. If you think about what IS working in your life then that is exactly what you will attract. You will attract more and more great things into your life.

An example to say or write:

“I am grateful that I have this full-time work, so I can provide for my needs, my family’s needs and put something into savings.” In doing this you will attract more positive people and more possibilities for a better job with better pay.

You might be going through a hard time right now, without a job, home, staying with friends sleeping on the couch.

Your gratitude list could be:

1. I am grateful I have friends who let me sleep on their couch, I am not on the street, I have a roof over my head, and people who care about me.
2. I am grateful to have a place to stay while I search for my new job and new living arrangement. 

Now this does not mean that you don’t put ACTION into the mix here, to do everything you can to move forward and reach your goals and intentions for your life. Expressing and feeling gratitude, is a very important component to achieving your goals. Using a Gratitude List is an extremely powerful tool to help you achieve your dreams by activating the Law of Attraction.
