5 Obvious Signs The Law Of Attraction Is Working In Your Favor

The Law Of Attraction is a modern spin on ancient philosophies. Through conceptualization and effort we can draw more positive elements and opportunities to us. If we imagine an opportunity or aspect of reality and focus on it, working towards that goal, we can manifest our desires and wishes.

It's a simple concept that a lot of people complicate. Below is a checklist of common occurrences that happen as we start to strengthen and broaden our communication with the universe or higher power.

You Always Feel Ready For Change

You aren't afraid to face your fears and challenges head on, giving everything you've got to life. You accept the things you can't change and are grateful for what you can change. Change is a necessary and unstoppable part of life. By welcoming constantly in flux aspects of life, we ensure that we are in a position to best take advantage of our shifting horizons.

Your Attention Is Kept On The Present Moment

The present moment is the only time frame that we have power over. The past is irreversible and subject to interpretation depending on why we are looking backwards. The future is completely uncertain and full of assumptions and expectations. The best way to manifest a better tomorrow is to keep our present moment in line with our intentions.

You Naturally Turn The Negative Into Positive

You understand that you won't be successful at everything you do all the time. Besides our own shortcomings sometimes negative aspects pile up at our feet, seeming to limit our options. You use the negative in your life to serve your best interests. Treat negativity like you would fertilizer or manure, use it to strengthen and grow other formations within you. Learn from your mistakes and don't let them haunt you.

You Feel Happy And Content

Your abilities give you a sense of Zen, regardless of what's going on in your life. You are confident in your ability to roll with the punches and maximize your harvest of good things in your life. Even when everything seems counter intuitive and wrong you understand these feelings will pass.

Good Things Keep Happening To You

Despite any hiccups or shortcomings, you always seem to come out on top. This is due to the fact that you're flexible mentality and forward moving momentum help you adapt and maximize any possible benefits. Also, you have learned to be appreciative for what you have, so this celebration attracts more benefits to you.

5 Ways to Live Happily, Freely, and Lovingly

 

No matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your past has been, you probably want to be happy.

I’m talking about the kind of happiness that makes you want to dance your feet off, love your heart out, and laugh your head off. The pursuit of happiness is a personal mission happening at the heart of nearly every individual. The problem is, some people don’t know exactly how to achieve it, or get “stuck” in thought patterns that dissuade them.

While everyone has different paths of reaching happiness, research suggests that practicing these 5 simple steps can increase overall feelings of happiness and widen that grin.

1. Don’t assign happiness to deadlines

In psychology there exists a concept called “the arrival fallacy,” the belief that when you arrive at a certain destination, you will be happy. But arriving at some place or reaching some goal rarely makes you feel as happy as you anticipated, and often reveals another, more challenging goal to work towards again. Instead of pursuing a deadline to be happy, choose to happily pursue. You will no longer feel as if you’re swimming upstream, but instead you’ll enjoy the ride as you carelessly float freely.

 2. Practice gratitude

Some philosophers have gone so far to say that it is impossible to be both grateful and unhappy at the same time. Try making a daily gratitude list. It can be as little as 5 things that you are grateful for, such as a warm cup of tea, or a simple smile from a stranger. After practicing this mental exercise daily, your mind will automatically begin to search for the things in your life that render a smile.

 3. Be a friend to yourself

Think about the self-talk that goes on in your head. Would you be friends with that person? Imagine yourself as a small child that needs every bit of nurturing, support and love possible. Celebrate and reward your accomplishments, instead of focusing your energy on where you fall short. You are in every way deserving of this kind of affection towards yourself and will be astonished by the positive feelings this creates over time.

 4. Be kind

To quote the Dalai Lama, “Be kind whenever possible…it is always possible.” We are social beings with a desire to connect and create sustained relationships. By putting effort into daily kindness, we take healthful steps towards manifesting these relationships. The act of giving can often be even more rewarding than receiving. Make it a mission to give someone a smile, and take note of how it feels to be apart of that gift.

 5. Embrace quiet time and meditation

MRI studies from the University of Wisconsin have shown that those with high reports of being happy have a greater amount of activity in the front portion of their brain called “the frontal lobe.” One well known benefit of meditation is the ability to activate the frontal lobe and increase overall blood flow to that area. By embracing quiet time and practicing small doses of meditation daily, your brain can habitually operate in this “happy place.”

To help harness this happy place, try incorporating this free meditation into your daily routine. Then go out, share a laugh, gift a smile, and have the happiest day :)

Here's How To Get The Most Out Of Your Affirmations

"Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!" -Maya Angelou

Often when we reach for affirmations as a form of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual development, we read the words and then mindlessly do the suggested exercises without really connecting to our inner experience.

Affirmations have the power to completely transform our lives. The problem for many of us however, is that we wander around in our busy minds randomly repeating these affirmations with no real connection or feeling.

As humans, we crave experience and if we don't learn how to affirm what we want to feel then it's nothing more that a meaningless sentence.

An affirmation is a positive statement of how we envision our best self. It can be repeated in the mind and written down.

In over 10 years of being a positive development junkie, affirmations seem to be the one thing I never really found any benefit in doing, until mindfulness became the number one thing in my life. I would meander throughout my day saying things like, "Every day in every way I am getting better," etc.

That's all fine but what the f*ck does better really mean to me? Absolutely nothing.

The real power of affirmations became clear when I learned how to use them in the present moment and with feeling.

First, I will explain a few ways how NOT to do affirmations:

1. Don't affirm something that your soul isn't interested in.

You may think you want to affirm more money, a sexy partner or a shiny new car. These things are all great, but your soul is actually asking for you to stop and experience positive feelings such as peace, happiness, joy or clarity. All the funky external 'stuff' is a bi-product of experiencing positive feelings.

2. Don't take on someone else's affirmation.

Your soul has its own journey to experience, so taking someone else's affirmation won't truly resonate with the true essence of your authenticity.

3. Don't make affirmations too wordy.

Seriously, life is busy enough without having long winded affirmations. Keep it short and sweet.

4. Don't wander around mindlessly repeating your chosen affirmation.

It's like going to the gym for the mind. Stop and say them with purpose and presence. Add feeling to them and work that mind muscle baby!

And here are six easy steps to doing your affirmation correctly:

1. Stop and get present.
2. Connect with your breath.
3. On your in breath affirm: "I AM."
4. On your exhale say what you would like to experience "__________". I use 'peace' but it's important that you use the word that resonates with you.
5. Take a few seconds to stay mindful. Have a heightened awareness of the present moment and let the affirmation sink into your consciousness before you repeat your affirmation.
6. Make them a daily habit and let it happen organically.

Try changing your approach to affirmations with these tips and see what difference you can feel in your connection with them.
