AttractAnything! (The Blog)

Call it karma, attraction or whatever you like, but common sense tells us that what we put out into the world definitely affects what we get back. The law of attraction says we “attract” people, circumstances and things according to our “vibration.” When we are buzzing with positive energy, optimism and verve, we are in a higher vibration. When we feel angry, victimized or ungrateful, we are in a lower vibration.

The point of all this is simple: you always attract according to your own vibration. This means that your emotional state determines the results you get. If your dominant emotional state is love, appreciation and enthusiasm, you can ONLY attract people, things and circumstances that match that vibration.

That’s why it is important to become skilled at manipulating your own emotional state. You don’t want to just react to outside circumstances, but instead, pro-actively create the emotional state you want within yourself — REGARDLESS of what is going on around you. It requires practice, but the more you work at raising your emotional state, the better you will get. And the better you get, the easier it becomes to stay in that high vibration, and consistently attract things that match your positive energy — things like abundance, wealth, love, friendship and success.

The ability to manipulate your emotional state (and thus, raise your vibration) depends a lot on habits. The most important of these habits is focusing on things that make you feel positive, grateful, inspired, abundant, optimistic and loving. We have the ability to focus our attention anywhere we want, and this is where the process of attraction begins. But this is also where it becomes difficult for some people, because they have old habits of focusing on things they don’t want.

For example, some people love horror movies, and they feel excitement (in the guise of fear) when they watch them. But while they may ENJOY watching these movies, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are good for them. After all, many people enjoy eating chocolate sundaes (like me!), but that does NOT mean they are good for them, or that they’ll will produce good results in the long run.

So you have to take care what you allow “on your radar.” Personally, there are television shows and movies I would really like to watch — but I don’t. I’m a fan of British actor Hugh Laurie who plays House MD. I have loved everything I’ve ever seen Laurie in, and I’m sure he is fantastic as the eccentric, curmudgeonly Dr House. But even though I’m sure it’s great, I have never watched that show — and I never will.

Why? Because House MD is all about disease, ill health, emotional problems, drama and strained relationships. I don’t want any of those things in my life; therefore, I don’t want them “on my radar.” So I don’t watch the show. Simple, right?

Practicing the law of attraction means developing mental discipline. Like me, you may need to occasionally remind yourself that “what you study is what you get,” and deny yourself certain short-term pleasures (like watching House MD or eating chocolate sundae’s for breakfast in order to produce better results in the long-term. But it’s a small price to pay to attract a better life. Plus, you’ll be taking responsibility for your own emotional state–instead of leaving it up to circumstances, chance or the whims of others. Now how’s THAT for real empowerment? =)
