Law of Attraction Basics: What Are You Focusing On?

Have you ever wished you could map out an exact plan of action to help you pursue the life of your dreams?

Most of us have a few fleeting moments of wishful thinking now and then, but we never really sit down and take a good, hard look at our lives – and the mindset that goes with it.

The Law of Attraction (LoA) is a concept that changes the way you live each day – from an aimless, happenstance manner to a purposeful, driven strategy that actually helps you achieve your goals and dreams.

Contrary to what many believe, the LoA isn’t just an idea where you make a wish and hope the Universe fulfills it. It has far more to do with you and your actions than it does the Universe.

What Gets Your Focus Gets You

You’ve heard of karma, right? Karma is the belief that you basically get what you give. If you live life in a mean way, others will be mean back to you. If you live a kind life, you’ll receive kindness in return.

In some small ways, the Law of Attraction is similar to karma in that you make things happen with your thoughts and actions. It’s not a coincidence. It’s not luck or chance.

It’s a boomerang in the Universe where you make your reality come true.

So what do you want that reality to be?

karmic pathLet’s start with what you don’t want – because it’s human nature to focus on the negative and ironically, this is something you’re going to have to STOP doing after this one last time.

It’s important for you to think about it this last time because you need to see how your negative thoughts have triggered an unfulfilled life to this point. It’s why your goals and dreams aren’t happening for you.

Think about a typical day for you and how many negative thoughts go through your head. If you have to, keep track of it for a week – jot down every feeling you have.

Some people are shocked to discover how grumpy they really are from the moment they wake up. They’re mad at the alarm, at the traffic, at their coworkers, at their workload, at everything.

Maybe that anger for someone else is sadness for you. Perhaps you wake up each day feeling distraught and worthless, like nothing will ever go right for you in life.

Get very specific in how your thoughts are created. Do you dwell on the past and the various ways you’ve been wronged in life? Do you constantly point fingers and place blame on others?

If you need to take a day and do nothing but focus on it and get it all out of your system, do it. But then be done with it once and for all. Let’s move forward free and clear of those issues and start creating the life you DO want.

You can’t map out a life by using wording like, “I hope I don’t get turned down for a raise.” That’s not living life free of what you don’t want – that’s focusing on what bad things could happen to you, so chances are, it probably will.

Why is that a self-fulfilling prophecy? Because when you have such extreme doubts about the outcome, you go into things exhibiting a lack of confidence. You walk into the office of your boss hesitant and not assertive. Your actions and mannerisms might result in him actually declining to give you that raise.

Instead, a Law of Attraction Advocate would go to work that day as if their raise has already been awarded to them. Their confidence would be oozing from their demeanor and this radiates over to those who encounter you, helping nudge your boss into agreeing with you – that the raise you seek should be awarded to you!

It’s not about faking it, either. It’s something you have to practice and begin believing. You DO deserve that raise. Why do you deserve it? Pump yourself up and go in there with a can do attitude.

Using the Law of Attraction is something that works in almost any situation. This is a process where you change your way of thinking to change the outcome of your life. It takes practice, but once you learn how to do it, anything can be yours!
