How the Law of Attraction Really Works
Written by April Ray Founder and CEO of YDessentials.com
Since the book The Secret came out, mention of the law of attraction has been everywhere, so why do so many people find it difficult to get what they want in life? It’s because while The Secret was a great introduction to the law of attraction, it is by no means the full picture.
Many people think of the law of attraction as things magically happening or appearing when you have positive thoughts. While the beauty of this universal law lies in how magical it seems, there is a lot of “doing” involved to bring the “magic” into being.
To make the law of attraction work the way you want it to work, you need to give the universe a little help. Rather than wishing for something to change in your life and then just expecting the law of attraction to bring it about, you need to open yourself up to it by taking certain steps. Set goals, engage in habits and tasks that will make it a reality, and notice and be open to synchronistic events happening in your life that can take you closer to achieving your dreams. Don’t just expect to think positively and then sit back and wait. Be what you want to attract and it will have no choice but to come to you.
The law of attraction says that like attracts like, and that goes for thoughts, feelings, words and more. That means that it works in both positive and negative ways. It is always working, so if you are trying to attract money into your life but you are always saying, “I can’t afford that,” then you will simply attract more of not being able to afford things.
In order to make the law of attraction work for you, you need to first feel the way you want to feel. You can’t just think it; you need to feel it. Envision what you want with great clarity and detail, and allow that vision to transform how you feel at the moment. By doing this, you will create a vibration within you that will attract back to you things, people and events that share a similar vibration. By coupling this with taking action steps toward your goal, you will ensure the law of attraction will work with you to help you get what you want.
Remember, not knowing about the Law of attraction is no excuse, just like the law of gravity, it works whether you believe in it or not. Ignorance can be the reason you experience debt, unfulfilled relationships, or ill health, in other words, you are basically manifesting by default. We can work with or against this law but we cannot not create! The best choice is to create by conscious intention.
