The Law of Attraction for Dummies

I am going to keep this as simple as possible. When I first was introduced to the Law of Attraction, it just seemed so complicated. So here is the simplifed version of the Law of Attraction for the everyday person.

What exactly is the Law of Attraction? Well, simply put the Law of Attraction states that what we think about we attract into our lives.

Now, hold on, before you start clicking away and making devil signs at me just listen for a moment.

So, according to the Law of Attraction (which for all intensive purposes will be referred to as LOA from now on) everything that you think about you attract into your life. So ask yourself this....

What do I think about?

Do you think about Debt?
Do you think about not having enough money?
Do you think about fights with your significant other?

Whatever it is, take a few moments and write down some things you think about, good or bad. And there is no wrong answer to this, this isn't a test, merely a tool for you. Here's what my list looked like when I first did this.

I think about my debt, I think my car might break down, I think that my husband and I might get in a fight tonight, I think there are going to be bills in the mail, and the list goes on and on.

Ok now that you've made your list, take a look at your life and check off everything that is in your life that you think about.

I think about debt.... Am I in debt, YES!
I think my car might break down... Did my car break down, YES!
I think my husband and I might get in a fight tonight...Did we get in a fight, YES!
I think there are going to be bills in the mail...Were there bills in the mail, YES!

All these things happened because I thought about them, because I focused so much energy into worrying over them that they had to come into my life because according to the LOA, we attract what we think about.

So how do we attract these things? Well, first lets break things down. What are we made of?

We're made up of energy, and so is every single thing on this planet. We are all masses of energy. Everything is made of atoms and atoms are made of... you guessed it, ENERGY! Ok, so now that we have established that, then we know that the things we think are also, energy. This can actually be measured as a wave. We can measure thoughts, kind of nifty, isn't it?

So when you think a thought you emit waves of energy, now these waves permeate everything around you and eventually go to the Universe. Now the Universe is what I call it but you can call the being that your thoughts go to anything that you want, another popular name for the Universe would be God. Once the Universe receives our energy waves they will send back to us waves of energy that mirror the ones we sent out. This creates the LOA, what we think about (the energy we emitt) we attract into our lives (energy that matches the energy we sent out takes form in our lives)

This is why when you think about debt... you get more debt. When you think about bad relationships...you get more bad relationships.

The LOA is not partial to wants or dont wants, it only knows what you think about most, it only knows the energy that you emitt. Here's where we have a bit of a tough pill to swallow. Everything you see in your life right now, even the things that you aren't so hot about (the debt, the people, the job, the house, the car, etc.), you have put there. Take this in, then let it go. This is not meant to be a guilt trip for you to begin blaming yourself for things that have happened. Because most likely your thoughts are running on auto-pilot right now. You think that the world outside of you affects what happens to you when it is the other way around, what is inside of you affects everything that is outside of you. We make our own realities. So don't play the guilt game, take responsibility for your current state and make an affirmation to change. Do it now, right now!

Get another piece of paper and write on it in big bold letters, I AM GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE. Post this somewhere you can see it everyday, the fridge, the mirror, etc. As you go through using the LOA you will likely gather more bits of paper with different affirmations but this is a good one to start with, this was my very first affirmation. Ok, so you have taken responsibility for your current state and now that you have made the choice to change your life, how exactly do you do that? Well, simple...The LOA says what you think about you attract into your life, so in order to change your life think about what you want.

Well, at least it sounds simple. I won't lie to you, I'll be brutally honest, this is the hardest thing I have ever done in my whole life. The reason it is so hard is because you have to reprogram you brain, so to speak, and completely erase your current habits of letting your thoughts run amok in the forest of your mind. I'm not saying you have to control every single thought, that would be impossible, but when you notice yourself thinking about things you don't want you must shift your attention to what you do want.

After a while though you'll habituate the ways to use the LOA and things will become smooth sailing. So welcome to the beautiful journey of your life. This is your chance to take control, to have the life you've always wanted. Some might shrug this off as 'I can't do it' or 'I don't understand this' or 'It will never work, it's too good to be true'. First of all, YOU CAN DO IT, every single person alive has the ability to use the LOA. And you use it everyday whether you are aware of it, whether you believe it, or not. Give it a try, how can you say it doesn't work if you never try to make it work, and when I say try I really mean try. I'm telling you flat out- it's not easy and don't expect instant results. But this can and will change your life.

How bad do you want change? Ask yourself that and be honest. If you're content with where you are in life, or if you don't want to put forth the effort it takes to make positive changes in your habits and way of thinking- then this isn't for you. But if you are ready to take control of your life, to have the dream job, car, house, spouse, the life of your dreams- then this is for you. Stick with it, you won't be sorry and just remember, I NEVER SAID THIS WOULD BE EASY!
