All four steps are equally as important and should be followed in the
given order, with the intention of taking you to the destination of
your choice.
4. Enter The Desired State This fourth and final step will teach
you how to enter into your desired state to cement the changes
that are coming into your life
Until now, something has been holding you back from realizing your
dreams and keeping you stuck in a cycle of negative experiences
whatever they may have been for you. This could be the result of
old negative thought patterns or a lack of awareness over your
thoughts .
Whilst many people will argue that they are not inherently negative
people, by simply observing negative situations or holding onto old
limiting beliefs, they are unknowingly attracting damaging, negative
energies.
Observing = Attracting (Or Accidental Attraction)
You take a look at your bank account to find that its empty. Seeing
a big zero where your money should be immediately fills you with
an array of negative emotions; anxiety, fear, anger, general feelings
of lack and need all of which lower your energies. The universe
then strives to match and expand on these energies, resulting in
more financial troubles manifesting in your life. This could be in the
form of an unexpected bill or unforeseen expenses e.g. the boiler
breaks or you lose your glasses
Your words are everywhere; you use them when you speak, write,
read, listen, think. So its easy to see how the words you use can
have such a great impact on the way you feel in your day-to-day
life.
TIP: When you use the words No, Dont or Not you are observing
what you do not want and are attracting more of the same into your
life.
Turning a negative into a positive. So how can you learn to shut off
the negative thoughts and focus on more productive, positive ones?
A good way to start would be to get into the practice of learning how
to use what you dont want to direct your attention to what you do.
For example your negative statement might be, I DONT want to
sit in an office all day.
And then your positive alternative could be, what I DO want is a job
that requires outdoor work.
This is the kind of exercise that will not only make you a more
positive and focused individual but will also help you to attract more
deliberately.
Letting Go of Resistance
Before you can begin to attract greater, more positive things into
your life you must first learn to accept your life exactly as it is. This
statement may come as a shock to some after all, isnt
acceptance the same as admitting defeat? In this case it is not.
Choosing to accept your life for the way that it is right now doesnt
mean that you have to settle for your current lifestyle forever.
Alternatively, it is more about making peace with your current
situation in order to let go of resistance and move forward with your
life .
TIP: Next time you feel yourself resisting a situation e.g. you
might be feeling angry at something someone has said, or feel
anxious because it says you are overdrawn on your bank
balance you should stop and ask yourself why you are trying
to resist something that has already happened? Dwelling on
something that is now a part of the past and out of your control
is pointless and will only create more negativity for you. Learn
to feel ok with things exactly as they are. Accept what is
troubling you as a fact unchangeable and a part of the past.
Try not to associate any emotions with the situation, negative
or positive. Let the situation just be and concentrate on
attracting positivity back into your life through the only thing
that you can control your thoughts.
This is great news! If you have the ability to choose how you
interpret every single event and
experience in your life, then why not choose to interpret it
positively? By learning to be more
positive in your perception of the people, experiences and events in
your life, youll find it much
easier to let go of resistance and harbor more positive, beneficial
energies.
Using your paper or notebook from earlier, try this experiment its
called, Through the LOA
Looking Glass.
First of all, decide on something you want to show up in your
life. For example, it could be
sunflowers or a red feather. Once youve thought of something
for the sake of the experiment,
wait and expect it to turn up in your life.
Give yourself a 48 hour period to spot whatever youre
expecting to see. At the end of the 48
hours, make a note of how many times you noticed your
chosen thing crop up.
For example, write down:
Date:
I expect to see:
Number of times spotted:
Play around with this experiment anytime, anywhere. Hopefully it
will help demonstrate to you
just how the power of perception can and does have an impact on
the reality you create for
yourself. Use your results to see for yourself just how much sway
you alone have on the life that
surrounds you, and use this as an effective tool for breaking down
any resistance that stands
between you and what you want most.
Level 2 The next test is to take something that you feel indifferent
about. It could literally be
anything, no matter how uninteresting; for example, it could be the
street light that you spot
whilst you are stuck in traffic or even the lady that you occasionally
see walking her dog. Now, the
challenge is to try and feel as much appreciation for this thing as
you did for your beloved
person, location or object in the beginners challenge. Try thinking
about what could make this
person/place or object worthy of gratitude to you do they have a
practical function? Some
usefulness or attraction? Take some of the feelings of thankfulness
that you experienced in the
beginners lesson and apply them to your mundane thing.
Keep trying this out on any uninteresting or everyday objects that
you see when you go about
your day and try to increase the feelings of appreciation that you
feel each time that you do.
Level 3 Now for the real challenge learn to do this and a lifetime
of happiness and appreciation
is there for the taking.
Think of something or someone that really tests your patience; it
could be a dripping tap, the
angry driver behind you or your continually ringing telephone. When
you feel yourself filling up
with the familiar feelings of rage or annoyance at this person or
object, the task is to try and
conjure up the feelings of love and appreciation that you felt in the
beginners practice and apply it
to this annoying person or object.
By practicing feelings of appreciation and love for things that have
no redeeming qualities, you are
strengthening your ability to conjure up gratitude at will. This will
help you to look for the positives
in almost every situation, helping you to become a much happier
and positive person attracting
more of this positivity into your life with greater ease and
abundance.
TIP: Having trouble mustering an attitude of gratitude? Try
looking out for acts of love or
kindness in your surroundings. For example you might be
stuck in bad weather thinking I hate
standing in the rain, but then you remember the warm scarf
your mum gave you or you might
notice a businessman offering his umbrella to an elderly
woman across the street. Think of
gratitude as your spoon full of sugar no matter what the
circumstances.
Once you know how it is that you want to feel , use this to work
backwards and determine what
goals would help you to achieve your desired internal experience.
If you were to die tomorrow, would you be proud of what you had
done with your life? Would you
be satisfied with how you filled your days? If the answer is no, then
it is time for you to make a
change and to get your priorities in order, once and for all.
Identifying your core values can help you to stop wasting time on
the things that bring you
unhappiness and instead, align your choices and actions with the
values that make you happiest.
One way of identifying your core values, is to ask yourself how
would I want other people to
describe me once Im gone?
Do you believe that your family and friends would describe
you today in the way that you would
most want them to? If not, then its time for a change, as you are
obviously not living in accordance with your core values; and
when youre not living by your core values, you cannot be
happy.
Far too often, when you ask someone to name their biggest
dreams permitting them to be as
far-fetched and imaginative as possible - they will still try to be
realistic. A lot of people will want
to waste their time with the hows and the whens, rather than just
picking a dream and having
faith in the universe to provide it for them. So, once you decide what
it is that you want from life,
rather than worry about how youre going to get it, just think about
how good its going to feel
once you do.
TIP: Once you know what it is you want, write a list out on a
piece of paper and keep it
somewhere you will see it often. For example, stick the list to
your fridge or bathroom mirror.
