AttractAnything! (The Blog)

Bad days: we all have them. I had one yesterday — could barely drag myself out of bed. :p

But we don’t have to stay in that state of mind when we have a bad day. We can change the direction of our thoughts just by deciding to look at things differently. Only trouble is, most of us find it difficult to suddenly change our perspective, because on a deeper level, we crave consistency.

One of the worst insults you can call someone is “flaky.” It means that their behavior and/or attitude is inconsistent. This puts us under a lot of social pressure to be consistent at all times, which is kind of boring, huh?

But we’re also under internal pressure to remain consistent. The brain values consistency above almost all else. It attempts to keep you behaving, thinking, and believing things that are consistent with what you did, thought and believed yesterday, last week and even 10 years ago. It’s a type of safety mechanism, and it’s mostly a good thing. You wouldn’t want to have an inconsistent heartbeat, eh?

This need for consistency is even good when it comes to how we think and behave — sometimes. For example, whatever you’ve been thinking and doing in the past has kept you alive up til now, so evolutionarily speaking, it couldn’t have been too bad, nowhatImean?

Consistency only becomes a problem when we’re trying to change of lives. This requires us to think, believe and do things differently. We have to go against our biological impulse to remain consistent, and that’s why people often find if difficult to change. That’s also why I believe one of the best ways to change is to not actually try to change at all. Seriously! And that’s where really cool techniques like NLP come in handy.

NLP techniques encourage change through the power of suggestion and unconscious association. They operate on a deeper level, that prevents you from constantly fighting against your natural impulse to maintain consistency. The techniques tend to affect the unconscious much more than the conscious, so there is very little “cognitive backlash.” You simply begin “feeling” differently, though you may not even know why.

By “reprogramming” yourself at an unconscious level, you can change unhelpful beliefs, perceptions and most importantly, your self-image — all without struggling. When done right, it feels like a natural evolution or transformation, with no internal conflict whatsoever.

A good example of these NLP techniques can be found at our sister site: NLPundercurrents.com. These unique audio sessions use several different techniques in a unique blend of technologies designed to have maximum impact on your unconscious, and facilitate change in a very natural, relaxed way.

Ever make a mistake? Sure you have. We all make mistakes. We forget things, make bad choices, misjudge people. To err is human.

Errors of judgment are especially common. I’ve made my fair share, and I’ll bet you have too. But I sometimes think the biggest errors of judgment are in how we judge ourselves.

Self image assessment errors are EXTREMELY common. And just so we’re clear, they are common for everyone, no matter how smart, self-aware or educated you may be. We can’t help but lack awareness when it comes to understanding ourselves. It’s like a blind spot. We can’t see the forest for the trees.

Still, it’s human nature to try to understand yourself and your place in the world, so we routinely judge ourselves in all kinds of ways. We evaluate our strength’s, weaknesses, talent, personality, style, character, you-name-it. The only trouble with all this self-judging we’re doing is that we’re just not very good at it. Seriously.

When we attempt to look at ourselves, to evaluate our qualities and traits, we face a huge disadvantage. We have blind spots everywhere and often wind up with a very skewed, inaccurate view of who we are — a view our closest friends and family might not even recognize.

No matter how hard you try, you just can’t “see” yourself like others see you, with an outside, unbiased perspective. Your perspective will always be “inside” and heavily biased.

But if you know you have these blind spots in your self-image — and you certainly do — it can actually work to your advantage, especially if you have confidence problems or are unhappy with some aspect of your personality. Here’s a simple exercise which uses NLP language patterns to undermine negative beliefs you may have about yourself. Those with self-esteem issues are especially encouraged to use this technique.

If you begin to feel bad about some aspect of your personality or “who you are,” think about the trait or characteristic while asking yourself, “what if this isn’t true at all?” Make sure you don’t state that it’s not true — just ask the question. What if?

For example, a friend once told me that she was terrible at math, even though she hadn’t been in a math class in 20 years. I suggested that she began asking herself “what if that isn’t true? What if I’m actually very good at math? What if…?”

Notice I wasn’t encouraging her to lie, but simply ask a few questions. The fact is, it’s entirely possible that she IS good at math. Human beings are terrible at self assessment, and “sensitive” people are probably the worst at this — they often judge themselves MUCH too hard when trying to determine their strengths and weaknesses.

People with self-confidence issues often have huge blind spots too. But many of my clients with confidence issues have created better self-images by simply becoming more skeptical about their self assessment and learning to ask “what if” questions about previously held beliefs.

If you can be humble enough to admit you are human and make mistakes, you can begin to question your negative self-beliefs — and change them. Big positive changes often begin with just two simple words. “What if?”

You probably already know that I believe whatever we put out into the world comes back to us in some way. We tend to attract people, circumstances and situations based on our energy, the “vibe” we’re putting out. This is a basic concept of the law of attraction, and it’s not very difficult to understand. However, some people are unclear how to use this concept to attract better relationships or romance into their life. That’s not really surprising — there is so much information out there about dating and what it takes to create a good relationship; anyone could be forgiven for getting confused sometimes.

But because the law of attraction is at work in EVERY area of your life, the same basic principles hold true for romantic relationships, dating and even marriage. Even if you have a history of failed relationships, you can still learn to attract romance and love into your life. Here are three simple guidelines to get you off to a good start:

1. Don’t Play the Game with Sweaty Palms

Fear is the opposite of love. Accordingly, you can not attract a loving relationship while giving off a vibe of fear. If you begin obsessing about finding the right one, or worrying that you’ll always be alone, you’ll be unknowingly repelling love from your life. “Birds of a feather flock together,” and in order to attract love you need to ALREADY be radiating the energy of love, feeling loved and loving.

While some of us would rather eat broken glass than be alone, that is a problem you’ll have to get over if you want to attract the perfect partner. Fear is never an attractive quality, and if you are not comfortable and happy being on your own, you cannot hope to attract a good relationship with someone else. Make sure your desire for a romantic relationship is an honest one, and NOT a desperate attempt to avoid being alone. Once you are really comfortable living your own life on your own terms, it becomes much easier to attract a partner.

2. Make Yourself Happy. No, Seriously!

I’m currently writing a book about happiness so the subject has been on my mind a lot lately. It occurs to me that happiness is an extremely attractive quality. When we see someone who is obviously happy with themselves and their life we want to be around them. There is a spark, a life force there that is very compelling. With that in mind, I suggest you do what ever it takes to make yourself happy if you want to attract a partner.

Too many people fail to make their own happiness are priority, but it’s really important that you do. Few people are attracted to misery (and those that are usually have their own issues). Make your happiness an important priority and don’t be afraid to show other people you’re happy. It may seem “cool” to walk around acting jaded or cynical all the time, but don’t believe the hype — happiness is where it’s at if you want to attract others into your life. It is absolutely magnetic!

3. Take Some Advice from “Golden Rule” Jones

“Golden Rule” Jones was famous for saying, “What I want for me, I want for everyone.” Jones wanted to live life on his own terms and follow his bliss — and that is exactly what he thought others should do, too. If you want someone to change or conform in some way to make you happy, you’re setting yourself up for trouble. You should demand that other people let you be exactly who you are — and then give them the same courtesy. Relationships work best with as few preconditions as possible. Besides, “wanting” is a lack-based emotion, which means it is usually based on fear, not love.

As much as possible, you want your emotional state to be based on “having,” not “wanting.” Remember the old saying: “Life gives to the givers and takes from the takers.

I’m always on the lookout for new technologies and methods of promoting success consciousness and the “winning” mindset, and last year I discovered an unusual combination of methods that get really great results. I’ve just launched a new website promoting these new resources, and so far my suspicions have been confirmed: other people are loving these audio sessions just as much as I do.

The sessions use NLP  language patterns, subliminal  suggestion , binaural and bi-lateral low frequency “beats” and other techniques to affect your mood, encourage deep relaxation, and even change your deepest beliefs about yourself, your wealth and what you are capable of.

The site is called NLP UnderCurrents, and the audio meditation sessions you’ll find there are quite different from anything else out there (in my humble opinion =)

It’s not easy to explain exactly how these audio sessions work in a short blog post — but if you are the techy type, there’s plenty of info about the methodology behind the sessions on the website. And you can always check out the free demos to get a taste of them for yourself. I especially recommend the Effortless Wealth session for law of attraction followers. It’s getting great reviews!

Check them out, and as always, leave me a comment/tweet or Facebook message and let me know what YOU think.

Continued Peace and Prosperity!

There are things I “believe.” There are things I “suspect.” And then there are things that I “know.” I want to tell you one of those right now:

We are creatures of habit, and in a very real way, our habits dictate what our life will be.

The act of changing your life is nothing more than changing your habits. So how do you do that? Easy. One step at at a time.

The WORST way to try to change any habit is to struggle. The BEST way is to make a plan to begin very gradually adding something NEW into your life–and be consistent. It’s not enough to just want to get rid of some aspect of your personality, an old habit like limiting beliefs for example; you must also add a NEW habit to takes it’s place.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Trying to eliminate something from your life only works well when you replace it with something else. So adding a new habit is the most powerful thing you can do to overcome an old one. It is a pro-active step, and it puts YOU in charge of your life and your future.

For example, if you have limiting beliefs about money and your ability to create wealth, you can change this by making a plan, and starting some new habits like repeating pro-wealth affirmations and writing a gratitude list daily.

If you do this for 3-4 weeks, it will become a new habit; a habit you can expand on. Then those negative beliefs (just habits) will begin to have some serious competition. After a while, you can add more new habits, like visualizing yourself living the life you want every day–and then twice a day, three times, four times…

You can start as small as you like. As long as you Do NOT QUIT and you keep slowly expanding, you WILL get there. In a few months your mental habits will be very different from what they are today, and you will attract very different (and better) results.

The law if attraction is a simple idea: what you think about matters and has an impact on your life. You can change what you think about by gradually developing new thought habits that replace the old ones. When you begin to fill up your days with positive actions and thoughts, soon there will be no room left on there for the negative, the unwanted, and the un-useful.

Start today, start now. Add one new positive habit this week. And then another next week, etc. Before you know it, things begin to snowball into a major life change and you’re attracting more and more of the life you want. The life you deserve.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Jon
