Are you the type of person who is easily affected by the outer circumstances?  Are you easily angered or frustrated by other people?

By dwelling on the negative effects of your environment, you are not maximizing the law of attraction.  The law of attraction can help you make a great day for yourself.  To be able to use this law, you can use visualization techniques in identifying your intentions to attract them to you.

Attract love in the morning.

Upon waking up, spend some time visualizing the things that you would like to take place during the day.  Imagine the activities that you will do, the people that you expect to meet, and the opportunities that you would like to come to you.  Define the mood that you would like to have during the day.

Attract these thoughts further by writing the details of the things that you would like to happen during the day.  Jotting down your thoughts will help you see them more vividly.

Attract love by feeling it.

You can attract good things to you by feeling them as if they are already taking place.  The feelings of joy and gratitude can lead these things to you as you go through your day.  As you do your tasks, you feel good about yourself knowing that you are attracting good energies to yourself.

Don’t be attached to any experience so that you can attract love.

In case there are circumstances that did not turn out as expected, don’t dwell on them.  Just continue with your tasks and open yourself to the great things that are about to come to you.  Stay on a positive mood by focusing on the blessings that you have.  This will help you refrain from being worried or frustrated about your situation.

Just keep repeating these thoughts and you can start attracting wonderful things to you again.  Start each day using this process and you will notice that you seem to be attracting the best opportunities to yourself.

On the Heels of Happiness

May 21st, 2009

A lot of people race through their own lives looking for that one elusive thing happiness.  However, the faster one goes, the farther happiness seems to get from their hands.  What most people don’t know is that happiness is just around the corner or may have always been beside them from the start.  In today’s society, more and more people are becoming motivated for the wrong reasons and thinking that their happiness is a goal that can be reached after much hard work and suffering.  And when that goal has been reached, well, it’s on to the next bigger, prettier, and harder-to-accomplish goal before they call themselves happy.   Satisfaction may be the key to happiness, but people rarely give in to the feeling and are left scurrying faster and harder until the weariness of the chase creeps in.  What they forget though is that happiness happens when you allow it to, and yes, one can be truly happy in a myriad of ways.

If you truly want to be happy, here are three simple ways to get that warm and fuzzy feeling in your heart

1)  Slow down.

Some peole get a rush of happiness when they feel the wind in their hair, brisk walk through life, and jump over obstacles as in a race.  However, happiness doesn’t just happen when you reach the finish line.  Take time out to feel and experience the people, places, and other things in your life.  Learn how to slow down and let happiness catch up with you in the form of a book, a night out with friends, a quiet afternoon with your pet cat in your lap, or a rainy day indoors with your loved one.  It pays off to take a  break from the race for happiness to seep into your veins.

2)  Enjoy the view.

Wonder why some people still prefer going on cross-country drives instead of hopping onto a plane? They say a vacation is more memorable not because of the pile of rocks waiting for you at the end of the journey, but because of the people, places, and things that you encounter along the way.  The same goes for life and reaching that goal.  Happiness isn’t just attained when you reach the end, but it can also be seen in the twists and turns that you go through to get it.

3)  Be thankful.

Happiness comes to those who are thankful for it and all the other things one can encounter in one’s life.  Instead of building regret and resentment over challenges, be thankful that you have surpassed such and learned a lot from the experience.  Being thankful for what one has keeps one grounded, focused, and more determined to finish his or her fight.
