Law of Attraction and Taking Care of Yourself

Many people are going through some very challenging times right now. I've been spending time with close friends who are either having issues with personal relationships or having trouble making ends meet. These friends are familiar with the Law of Attraction and know how it works, but after coaching them with their issues, I've come to realize that even though they have the knowledge about the Law of Attraction, they have yet to put that knowledge into action. They have yet to apply what they've learned.

I'm sure many of you can relate. I know that I've been through this process myself. You know what the Law of Attraction is, but what now?

I think that we're going through a wonderful time right now because many of us are starting to awaken to the possibility of a much more abundant life....THE GOOD LIFE!

One person who has inspired me through this proces of awakening to what I call my "true spirit" is Bob Doyle. If you've been reading this blog for some time, you know who I'm talking about. Bob Doyle is the creator of the Wealth Beyond Reason program and recently he did a one hour free webinar titled, "Taking Care of Yourself During Troubled Times".

In this free webinar Bob talks about the idea of resistance and how it is playing a role in why you are not attracting the life that you want. He also gives you exercises and tools that can apply right now to start overcoming the challenges you are facing.

I'd love to hear your thoughts or stories about how the Law of Attraction is working in your life! If there is a topic you'd like for me to talk about on this blog, please leave a comment.

5 Benefits of Gratitude

Showing gratitude is a great way to spread positive feelings in the world around you. When you think about it, reaching your goals starts with a single positive thought. Feeling grateful for what you have can produce the same good feelings and keep you moving toward your goals.

Doesn't it feel good when someone sincerely expresses his or her gratitude to you for something you did? These positive feelings can lift you up, boost your enthusiasm, and motivate you to achieve even more.

Gratitude is one of the main elements in the Law of Attraction. When you show gratitude for the things that you have, The Universe continues to give you more. Remember that like attracts like!

Here are five benefits of gratitude:

1. Reaching your goals. When you feel grateful, it tends to be a lasting and selfless feeling. It's much more than just a momentary burst of positive energy; it has staying power that inspires you to reach your goals.

2. Strengthened relationships. There are many ways you can express your gratitude to your loved ones, including saying, "Thank you," writing a letter, or giving them a thoughtful gift. When you learn to avoid taking your loved ones for granted, you'll have a long lasting and loving relationship.

3. Improved communication. Gratitude can mean better communication all around. By expressing your gratitude to strangers, they'll be more likely to show an interest in helping you as well.

4. More effective constructive criticism. No matter how we express constructive criticism, it often makes the recipient defensive or even angry. No one likes a blow to the ego. In this situation, a grateful attitude can take you a long way. You can express criticism quite effectively when you also emphasize what you appreciate about them.

5. Preserving memories. You can preserve memories in a positive way when you keep a gratitude journal. You'll be able to enjoy your memories again and again when you read about these happy times in the future.



Show Your Gratitude Every Day

Showing gratitude to others may seem like a selfless act, but it's something that you also benefit from. When you show your gratitude every day, you change the way you think.

You'll appreciate your good life when the majority of your thoughts remain positive. Negative thoughts can sometimes be overwhelming, and just because you have them doesn't mean you're a bad person. Everyone has negative thoughts at one time or another, but you can strive to keep them to a minimum with the help of a grateful attitude.

One way to show your gratitude every day is to remind yourself of the big picture when a negative thought arises. If a petty argument with your spouse makes you feel angry and heated, take a deep breath and think for a moment. Remember that the argument is not permanent and, instead, feel grateful for the gift of this relationship.

In what ways do you show gratitude each day?
