Everyone likes to start new things at the beginning of the year. These are known as Resolutions.

The first definition I found for this word was: A firm decision to do or not to do something. Ok, that seems quite clear to me. But from what I hear and see, most people start the year with tons of resolutions, which are then forgotten or given up on, very easily.

I don’t do resolutions. I believe in something called The Law of Attraction. It is very simple. You attract what you think of, what you focus your thoughts on constantly, whatever things you think of with emotion/feeling. You know how when a day starts off badly, it seems like things just go downhill from there? That’s you doing it. One thing goes wrong for you, then you get upset, sometimes start arguing in your mind about how “these things happen always at the worst time”, and from there it starts building up inside you. And very soon, another thing goes wrong and you say…what do you say? “THIS DAY JUST GETS WORSE EVERY SECOND”, “WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS”, “IT’S ALWAYS ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER“. Do any of those sound familiar? It’s all you, it’s your own doing. Attracting like a magnet, your negative thoughts, together with the feelings of frustration, anger, and your focus on whatever negative thing happened to you at the beginning of the day, plus any others that may be coming back into your memories from past frustrations, make up a huge spiral. And before you know it, it really is ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER. And again, it’s all your own doing. Nope, no one did this to you, there is no one punishing  you, no outside forces are against you.

Your thoughts are more powerful than you think. Remember, every reality has to be a thought form first. The chair you are sitting on was only a thought before it came to be constructed/materialized. It is so simple, and yet most people don’t take advantage of this for their own benefit. It is too easy to get caught up in what we are looking at now, what we are feeling now, what is happening now. We just focus on the “now”, and never think beyond that. We say things like “But I’m only being realistic, this is what I have.” and lock ourselves in it, preventing any possibility of big improvement to happen. All we have to do is spend some time THINKING! Wow, how crazy is that?

And yet, it is that simple. Taking the time we spend spacing out, or watching TV, and use it to think about what we WANT to be doing, the things we WANT, how we really want to be living our lives. In fact, you can use the TV to  help you out. Anything that helps you see in your thoughts the life you want to be living, the healthy person you want to be, or the house you want, the car, job, whatever it is you want. Don’t just look at the commercial of the car you want and say, “Wow that looks so cool I wish I could afford it.” No. See yourself driving the car, filling up the tank, listening to your favorite music in the car while driving down the highway. It’s like creating your own life movie in your mind. But you are going to focus only on as many things as you can at once (if you try to focus on too many then you won’t be able to put as much thought, desire, focus into each one). See yourself there already. In that house you want, or in the physical condition you want, or in that job you want.

So you see, it IS that simple, and yet it might not feel so simple at first. You might start focusing on one thing, then start asking yourself why you don’t have it yet, and then more and more times passes and you don’t have it. That’s because you are shifting your focus from what you want, to not having it/lacking it. Just focus on getting there, not on the road.

I could go on about this (the post is long enough as it is lol!). But all I can say is, that this really is how things work whether you like it or  not. And for me, using this law of attraction has been working out well. I still am a bit of a newbie at really taking advantage of my thought focus, but I am getting better at it every day.
