3 Steps to Make the Law of Attraction Work for You

The Law of Attraction is a powerful force as real as the Law of Gravity. It’s working at all times, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.

The Law of Attraction simply states “like attracts like”.  Your positive (and negative) thoughts, words, and actions will attract that back to you in some form.

Just as this world is composed of physical matter, it is also in energy form. What has happened in the world and is happening, has been attracted in some way. It doesn’t always seem fair; but when we begin to learn more about the Law of Attraction and how it can work for us, we can begin to create the life we desire.

A life we truly LOVE!

“The action of mind plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form.” – Thomas Troward

The History of The Law of Attraction


Thomas Troward
, a thought leader who had a strong influence on today’s beliefs of the Law of Attraction, claimed that thought precedes physical form. He believed,

“The action of mind plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form.”

Another new thought leader, James Allen who wrote “As a Man Thinketh” (which is free on Amazon for the kindle version), believed this same theory. His book brought faith, inspiration, and self healing to the millions who have read it.

The most popular modern-day reference to the Law of Attraction is “The Secret“, a book and movie, by Rhonda Byrne.  Both teach the concept that your thoughts become things. So if your thoughts are mostly positive you will attract more positive. If your focus is more on negative than that is also what you will attract.

So, the Law of Attraction seems pretty easy and self-explanatory, right?

Sure, yet so many people learn about it, understand it, try to apply it and have trouble. Today, so many people are unhappy, depressed, and in ruins with life, finances, and relationships. So, we want to spread the word on this powerful force and, in a very concise and easy way, we want to guide you through the process of the Law of Attraction, and how to use it to your advantage to create the life you truly desire.

3 Simple Steps to the Law of Attraction

STEP 1: ASK

Most people are familiar with the phrase “Ask, Believe, Receive.”   While “Ask” is considered the first step of creation in the Law of Attraction, and we believe Asking is very important, it is only part of it. Before you ask, be sure it is what you truly wish for.

To start, give yourself time to be alone in silence, where you can sit and reflect on life. Get your computer, journal or notebook and allow the creative ideas to flow. Ask yourself. . .

“What are my dreams?”

“How about my desires?”

“What are my needs?”

“Where can I see myself going?”

“What do I love to do?”

“What is fun for me?”

law-of-attraction-journalAllow yourself to open up

Dream and be playful with your visions – just like a child. Children believe they can do anything and do it well. Some of us tend to lose that feeling as we get older and make mistakes. Mistakes are part of life and they allow us to adapt, change and grow. We can truly have, be and do anything we set our mind to.

As you do this, write whatever comes to your mind. Allow only good thoughts and feelings to flow. Good feelings are truly the key to the Wish then Ask process. If your dreams scare you just a little bit, that’s okay. In fact, that’s good! It means your vision is BIG and your potential is BIG enough to achieve it. Keep visualizing them, feeling better and better.

To increase the Law of Attraction visualization and creation processes, we strongly suggest having a vision board. A vision board takes your thoughts and puts them in a physical form you can see all throughout the day. You can also meditate if you’re into that. Meditation for 5-10 minutes a day can really help unlock and increase your power.

Once you’ve truly decided what it is your wishing for, stay focused and ASK. Asking transforms the entire Wish process, and begins creation.

Law of Attraction: Step 1 – CHECK!

STEP 2: BELIEVE

The next step is believing. At this stage, you intentionally visualize how you would like things to be.   Afterward, you allow yourself to feel the feeling of that belief being fulfilled. You want to have unwavering faith that what you desire is coming to YOU.

As you visualize this, you have a strong knowing that it is already on its way!

Due to the buffer of time, things don’t always happen instantly. That’s okay. Stay positive. Sometimes impatience or doubt can creep in during this stage and completely reverse the creation.

Living in faith and positive emotion will continue to allow what you desire to flow to you.

Allow each day to be filled with hope, belief, strength, and passion for what is to come – release doubt, worry and fear.

Keep your actions aligned with your intentions and your desires will naturally attract. Negative emotion does not serve you. It is an illusion to hold you back.

Doreen Virtue described this process very well on an interview she had with Lisa Garr on GaiamTV. She described the law of attraction process like placing an order at a restaurant. You look over the menu and decide exactly what you want. When the waiter comes, you give him the order with any specific requests. The waiter happily takes your order and heads to the kitchen. While you’re waiting, you enjoy yourself with friends or family, not worrying if the waiter is going to get the order right or if it will even come. Know that you will be taken care of and that everything will be fine.

The second stage is where you happily wait and enjoy the journey. Yes, it may and usually will require action – it is the Law of AttrACTION after all! To be sure you are taking the correct action, that is in alignment with your wish, you can listen and follow your intuition. Here, you are taking inspired action steps that are calling you to bring your wishes to fruition.

During this process, it’s important to keep your passion flowing, but not overdo it. Live in the moment and allow time to just be.  Take time to be present; trust, and believe in the process. Being present allows you to connect with everything around you, and recognize the gifts of opportunity being presented that will allow you to move forward.the universe

3 Key Emotions Needed during the Belief Process

STRENGTH

A strong intention requires inner strength.  Many desires reside in a place where you aren’t currently at, and you have to keep your thoughts, words, and actions positive and in alignment with your intention to ultimately attract your desire.  You know that your intention is for your best interest, but as you set your intention,  there will be temptation to fall back into the old habits and patterns that ultimately keep you from what you want to attract.  The light energy wants you, but so does the dark – they both want to grow.  All throughout the spiritual world, we are told not to give into temptation – that the blessings can be taken from you as quickly as they are given. Your thoughts can be influenced, but in the big picture, they are your sole possession.

TRUST

The effectiveness of your belief systems is built on a foundation of trust.  What you feel is true can only be true for you if you trust that your belief process will ultimately bring your desires to fruition.  If you feel that your beliefs will not attract your best life, you do not trust them, and they will not help attract what you seek, but something else. Remember that the Law of Attraction works both ways; it can bring you what you want, and it can also bring you what you don’t want.  It’s up to you to trust in the process.

GRATITUDE

Gratitude is key in the Law of Attraction.  The Universe rarely delivers all that you desire in one fell swoop, but rather gives you bits and pieces of the puzzle to realize and put together.  For each bit and piece, you must trust that it is being delivered for your best interest overall, and be thankful for it. Thankfulness for what you already have before your desires are delivered is the main ingredient in this recipe for success.

law-of-attractionOverall, depending on your own thoughts and expectancy, the Intention Process can possibly take the longest. The length is truly dependent upon YOU. Stay patient, focused and determined that it will happen while remaining open to it possibly coming in a slightly different form. This can and does happen. The abundance you’re seeking comes through a different avenue.

Potential mistakes and challenges can arise and that’s okay – that’s part of the fun of it. You always learn something new and grow just a little more. 😉 Remain steadfast because receiving is the next and last step of the Law of Attraction.

Law of Attraction: Step 2 – CHECK!|

believe and receive

STEP 3: RECEIVE

When you begin the receiving process of the Law of Attraction, congratulate yourself and CELEBRATE! You deserve it! This excitement will help the manifestation process fully come to fruition, possibly even accelerate it and exceeding your expectation.

Continue to live in positive emotions and realize and reflect on the true power that you’ve always had within you. You can achieve success like this in anything you apply these principals to.  Remember, this isn’t something you’ve just activated because you are conscious of it, it’s been working the entire time. Now you know how to fully harness your power through the Law of Attraction. Every thought, word, and action forms a co-creation with God and the Universe. You do have the infinite power of co-creation.

Consciously working the Law of Attraction to your advantage can bring you success beyond what you may have previously thought impossible. The potential for everything exists in God and the Universe, but the ability to attract exists in YOU.

Every day, continue to receive and FEEL the positive energy and emotions flow through, so you can live in a state of constant allowing and receiving for your highest good. A state of continual success.

Law of Attraction: Step 3 – CHECK! Process  DONE. Enjoy the harvest! 🙂

How to Create the Life You Love Through Divine Awareness

Have you ever felt like you’ve received “a sign from above”? Perhaps you are captivated by a billboard message, an overheard discussion, or a specially delivered directive via meditation or prayer. And, it makes you feel like the Divine is talking to you individually. That is Divine Awareness.

indeed, people experience these moments every single day. These don’t happen only because they just coincidentally notice. But they occur because humans are in direct contact with the Divine in every waking moment.

Believe it or not, each individual thought, both conscious and subconscious, delivers a signal to the Divine that is not only received – but responded to. Each thought, word, or action you create brings a response from the Divine that opens up an opportunity for you to either expand or contract that specific experience. The Divine does not have a single way of communicating with you either.  It’s up to you to recognize,  translate, and act upon these messages returned from the Divine to ultimately create your destiny.

The Divine is always communicating. Are you tuned in?

How to tune into Divine Awareness

divine awarenessYour surroundings, like you, are all made up of the Divine.  Our entire physical world is made up of living energy, and anything can become the medium chosen by the Divine to communicate to you at any given time.  It’s up to you to see the messages being delivered, and act on them accordingly.

How do you do this?

Here are three simple ways to Tune into Divine Awareness:

  • Be present – Live in the Now
  • Pay attention to Synchronicities
  • Take action on opportunities

A great example of this occurred to me just the other day.  We were taking a trip with our very tired (and grumpy) toddler. The moment I could feel myself starting to stress and grip the steering wheel, I looked up and saw a billboard that said “Stay Cool”.  I knew right away that I was being told something, so I listened and “stayed cool”.  Immediately after, I looked at the clock and saw 1:11.  It was a confirmation. I had responded to the Divine; I allowed myself to create a better moment.  Long story short, the rest of the day turned out amazing.  Everything went along seamlessly, despite the bit of stress developed earlier in the day.  I did not allow the negative thoughts, words and actions to build.  I took action to allow positive growth.

“Like each jigsaw puzzle piece that comes together to complete a picture,  the picture of your life is pieced together with each thought, word, and action.”

Creating from Divine Awareness

To create what you desire in life, must not only learn how to tune into Divine Awareness. In addition, you must make conscious decisions from it.  If a thought, word or action sprouts up and makes you feel good, more thoughts, feelings, and experiences in alignment with your good feeling will be created.

The connection to the Divine is eternal, no matter how you feel about it.  So if you seek growth and change, you must move energy away from what you do not want and shift it toward what you do want.  Here are some examples:

  • Rather than focusing on less war, focus on the growth of peace.
  • Instead of focusing on shedding unwanted weight, focus on the body you desire.
  • Rather than focusing on quitting a job you dislike, focus on getting into a job you love.

And so on…

 The best part about all of this is that you can begin communicating and creating with the Divine right now by tuning into the NOW  There’s no waiting around for the next spiritual taxi to come to pick you up; you have a Divine chauffeur ready right now, prepared to take you where you want to go.

The messages are always being sent.  Are you ready to listen, act, and create a life you know you deserve?

This bolsters the belief that we attract whatever it is that we are thinking, whether it be love or fear-based, through our subconscious delivery system that serves as a catalyst for physical manifestation.

positive-thinking5. Psycho-cybernetics

Psycho-cybernetics by Maxwell Malts combines cognitive behavioral techniques with  cybernetics to define the intricate workings of our mind-body connection and how it serves as the core in attaining your goals in life.  Maltz worked with many of his clients to make their goals of a positive outcome occur through the visualization of that outcome.

positive-thinkingThe simple ideas of The Four Agreements provide a guide-map for living a positive life.  Here are  ‘The Four Agreements’, and what they mean according to Ruiz

  • Be impeccable with your word
    Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.
  • Don’t take anything personally
    Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
  • Don’t make assumptions
    Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
  • Always do your best
    Your best will change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

As you make these four agreements, your life will dramatically change. Integrating them into your being and every area of your life will soon become a practice that pays off generously.

positive-thinking10. Getting Into The Vortex: Guided Meditations CD and Book

Abraham-Hicks has created a true masterpiece that we have enjoyed since day one.  “Getting into the Vortex” means aligning with your highest self,which is also known as your direct connection to the divine – the broader part of who you are.  The teachings of Abraham in these guided meditations and books refer to us as a direct extension of pure positive source energy. Furthermore, only a fraction of that becomes our physical form.  It states that our purpose here is to live a life of contrast, recognizing what we don’t want to recognize what we do want. In turn, we cause the Universe to expand.  This practice is known as the Law of Attraction.  The Law of Attraction states, “The essence of that which is like unto itself, is drawn.”  In other words, you create your reality through your thoughts, both subconscious and conscious.

Tapping: An Ancient Technique to Unlock Your Full Potential

If I told you that you could completely change your life in ten days, wouldn’t you jump at that chance? The ancient art of tapping is a game-changer for those who slog through daily life without truly living.

Many of us go through life without ever realizing that there is so much more available to receive. We accept what life has dealt us without questioning it. We come to accept health, emotional, and economic troubles just as they are and quickly lose sight of the dreams we once envisioned so passionately.

But, what if things could be different? What if we could change our lives for the better with one simple technique?

There IS actually one simple technique, and it’s called “Tapping”.

emotional-freedom-tappingWhat is Tapping?

Tapping is a technique that has been used for over five thousand years, discovered in Chinese doctrine. Ancient Chinese medical doctors would promote this to their patients thousands of years ago as a way to heal themselves.

In many ways, tapping is much like acupuncture. You take negative energy or pain and focus on it. Then, tapping five to seven times on meridian points, you can release the negative emotional energy that has been blocking you from receiving your abundance. It’s quite simple actually. It can help you achieve more physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Wayne Dyer has said that Tapping transformed his life. He learned what he had control over in his life and how to channel his energy. He also states that he is much more aware of energy in his life and home and owes that to Tapping.

How Does This work?

In a nutshell, Tapping rewires your brain. It can change your whole outlook on life along with every aspect of it. It can help you with emotional disorders, financial difficulties, relief from chronic pain, addictions, phobias, physical diseases and much more.

There’s a reason why many celebrities also regularly practice Tapping. With Tapping, you’ll find the secret to physical and emotional strength. You can and will take your own well-being into your hands and make a better outcome for yourself.

The fact is, you can transform your life. You really do have that power. However, in order to achieve that, you must have the desire to claim it. That is what tapping is all about. Getting the future you deserve by releasing what does not serve you and channeling the positive energy to fully receive. The best part is, anyone can do it.tapping-mind

Essentially, tapping can create a total life makeover.  Dr. Wayne Dyer has used the power of forgiveness, and EFT Tapping, to release himself from the binds of the past.  The tapping technique can radically transform your life.

You can learn from today’s EFT experts at The Tapping Solution. In ten short days, you can see remarkable changes in your physical experience. You’ll realize what has caused you physical or emotional pain and successfully release it.

The Secret Power of a Positive Perspective

Do you need a change up to a more positive perspective?

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions. – Stephen R. Covey

Most of us have a deep desire to understand and be understood. This world, at times without the correct perspective, can be a very confusing place. But, it doesn’t have to be.

In fact, choosing to see the secret power a positive perspective holds can free us from a world of hurt, pain, struggle and bondage. Just like your best friend or fondest family member, positivity can support you, encourage you, lift you to new heights, make you feel loved even when you’re alone, make you smile, make you laugh, give you good luck, help you when you’re feeling blue, bring you more abundance, help you achieve your next goal and so much more.

The Secret Power of a Positive Perspective

The fact is, positivity is who we truly are. That’s right, by nature we are all pure positive beings – with radiant, white light souls. We are all unique. But, here’s the deal… it’s up to US to use that power or to ignore it. Are you using it to your fullest potential right now?

Most of us could be a little more (or a lot more) conscious of our thought process as we are moving throughout the day. If right now you feel lack or bitter in a particular area of your life, that’s natural – it’s your soul calling to you and letting you know that you could do better or things need to be resolved. We are meant to truly THRIVE on this beautiful planet and allow our souls to blossom to their fullest potential, not merely just survive and get by. You deserve BETTER!

 

positive-perspectiveIt’s all in the mind. -George Harrison

Do you know you have within you the power today to make positive changes that will bring about the kind of difference you would like to have in your life? Yes, you have that power within you right now. When you are ready to make real positive changes, you won’t let excuses set you back. Let go of blaming other people, specific circumstances, health, family history, age, and environment. It comes down to something that only you can control – your thoughts, words, attitude, and actions. If you truly want to reach your goal you will go after it with your whole heart and overcome any obstacle.

You can start to change everything right now by choosing a positive perspective on any given situation as often as you can. Living a positive lifestyle doesn’t happen overnight. But it can happen quickly if you stay conscious throughout the day of your thought process and your actions.

The Power of Positivity

To start harnessing the power of a positive perspective you need to maintain a positive mindset. This will allow you to begin drawing more abundance into your life, and in time, the life of your dreams. The way we are living in the now comes down to how we think about things and our mental attitude towards life. We have the ability to make major positive changes by choosing the positive perspective in everything and in every moment. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, what your health is like, how many friends and family members you have, what you weigh, how you look or what size home you have, look at your life with a grateful heart and find something good to think and say about it. That is choosing the positive perspective.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. – C.G. Jungj

For example, there could be co-worker that you don’t really get along with, you may even strongly dislike the person; but when you open up your heart and mind and really look at this person you will find at least one good quality. In time, by focusing on that one good quality about that person, more reasons to like that person will surface. It’s just how it works! You can apply this same theory to anything.

Be grateful for where you are right now and continue to anticipate the positive changes and growth that is coming from choosing the positive perspective in any moment. Living with a positive attitude is the only way to live your best life because you are consistently feeling joy. Feeling joyful brings more abundance.

In fact, joy is key to living your best life. As long as you are happy where you are, more abundance will continue to be drawn to you.

How to Choose a Positive Perspective

We would consider ending this article here, but many of you have asked how to choose the positive perspective when things are really difficult. Hardships and challenges are when the positive perspective is needed most. It may not be easy to find it, but it is always worth it. Most of the time, it involves forgiveness and an open mind to continue to search in your heart for loving, kinder thoughts.

In an excerpt from “In Pursuit of Excellence” – “Ellis and Harper (1976, 25) identified several perspectives or beliefs that can interfere with your capacity to perform to your potential and live a joyful life:

  • The belief that you must always have love and approval from all the people you find significant
  • A belief that you must always prove to be thoroughly competent, adequate, and achieving
  • The belief that emotional misery comes from external pressures and that you have little ability to control or change your feelings
  • A belief that if something seems fearsome or threatening, you must preoccupy yourself with it and make yourself anxious about it
  • The belief that your past remains all-important and that because something once strongly influenced your life, it has to keep determining your feelings and behavior today

You cannot have the love and approval of all people at all times, no matter what you do or how much you give of yourself; nor can you always be thoroughly competent at all things. None of us is, or ever will be, perfect at all things. We all screw up sometimes, and that’s OK. That’s being human.

We all have the capacity to change our perspectives, improve our focus, and directly influence our feelings. We are not locked into the limitations of our experiences. This ongoing capacity to change and improve is what makes life such a wonderful adventure. We all have room to grow and to engage continually in the process of becoming.”

positivity

Final Thoughts

It’s important to develop the confidence inside of you to know that every challenge will sculpt you and make you stronger. Picture yourself looking back on the situation with pride at where you have come and how much you have accomplished. Know that every difficulty is making you wiser, better and bringing you closer to your goals. See what it can do for you, not what it is doing to you. We must trust in this, because when we lose our faith we slowly creep backwards. And, if this becomes a habit, we begin to create a series of problems and negative events.

Listening to your intuition can also often help you choose a more loving, positive perspective. You know what to listen to by observing your feeling when you think about it. Embrace the positive perspective or put your attention to something else that makes you feel joy until you can come back to it with a clear mind and fresh eyes. With practice, you’ll be feeling inspired and abundant in every area of your life. In fact, your life will feel like an everyday miracle!
Remember: Life is not what happens to you, it’s about your perspective. Choose to harness the power of a positive perspective.

Think about a positive perspective can you add into your life today.

How to Achieve Clarity in Life (Physical, Mental, and Spiritual)

For me the greatest beauty always lies in the greatest clarity. – Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

Have you ever experienced foggy weather? Low visibility and the inability to see what you know exists leaves you feeling lost in the once-familiar, now misty world around you. Not until the sun shines to evaporate the surrounding ground clouds can you really see what is around you?

Fog can creep in on the human psyche too.   Whether physical, mental, or spiritual, a foggy feeling in life is one that wants to leave you with little to no progress, practically stealing the potential love and positive energy that awaits you.

The good news is that you never really have to feel like you’re trapped in any one of these fogs.  Clarity can always be with you, all you need to do is “warm-up” the hazy environment around you to reach above the D.E.W. Point.   Here are a few practical hacks to help keep you above a “D.E.W. (depressed, empty, worn-out) point in life.”

How to Attain Physical, Mental, and Spiritual clarity:

Attaining physical clarity:

physical clarityPhysical clarity brings a real feeling of being alive.  It helps you bounce out of bed in the morning, avoid the afternoon slump, and even read your favorite book before bed. When you’re caught in a physical fog, you really don’t even want to get out of your pj’s.

Implement these three tips to build a strong foundation for physical clarity:

  • Exercise –  When you exercise, you literally “wake up” your body.  Your muscles, mind, and natural defense systems strengthen, an increase in metabolism keeps you vibrant,  and the benefits of looking your best will surely sway you to stay active.  Not to mention, you’ll probably live longer.  😉
  • Proper sleep –  Studies show that sleep helps keep you energized, repairs the body, and can even help prevent cancer.  Get between 7 and 9 hours each night when you can to make sure you’re feeling your best each day.
  • Water – The right amount of water each day (half of your body weight in ounces) helps your body incredibly. Water flushes toxins from your body, keeps your chemical reactions in check, and even helps you go on schedule

Implementing these three habits alone will help boost your physical clarity and keep you feeling alive.  Read another post – 101 lifestyle habits that can help you attain clarity and positive living.

Attaining mental clarity:

positive-living-clarityIn a mental fog, you might always be trying to track down your most recent thought as if it were fleeing you every other moment.  Just like attaining physical clarity, there are a few pillars to build in order to support your mental clarity at all times.  Here are a few tips that are sure to help:

  • Eat well: When you live a healthy eating lifestyle that’s high in fruits and vegetables, it has multiple benefits for your brain that will help keep you mentally, and emotionally, stable.  Antioxidants and micro-nutrients contained in healthy foods go a long way toward protecting brain function.  As researchers have shown, many different foods have an effect on the brain.
  • Stress Less: Stress raises levels of hormones that block normal brain function.  It can even damage brain cells.  Use meditation, positive affirmations, and of course, the power of positivity in your daily life and proclaim, “I am too blessed!” (to be stressed). 😉
  • Supplements: It’s a constant battle to get the perfect amount of nutrients for your brain and body to function to its best. Taking a quality, plant based supplement shake or vitamin supplement that contains DHA, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 will help you keep your mental edge.

Using these three building blocks for brain power will help keep your mind sharp and firing on all cylinders.  Mental fog?  Forget about it!

Attaining spiritual clarity:

mental-clarity-how-to-meditateOftentimes a spiritual fog produces questions like “why me?”, or “why is that allowed to happen?”  The path toward spiritual clarity can bring about many questions, but the first thing to remember is that everything is happening exactly as it should.  What appears in the present world (yes, even this post) is a manifestation of collective thoughts, desires, and beliefs from the past.  The collective desires, thoughts, and beliefs in the now play a significant role in creating the future.  Here are a few ways to clearly see the co-creative power blessed to you by the divine:

 

 

  • Meditate

If you’re new to meditation, use this guide to help you get started.  If you already practice, you know how much meditation can help you achieve spiritual clarity.  Whether you’re looking for a sign, or just figuring out which step to take next in life, meditation can really help manifest your thought and bring a clearer path forward.

  • Positive Affirmations

You can heal your life through positive affirmations.  If you’re new to positive affirmations, it’s okay. They are very easy. Simply create or choose affirmations that resonate with you and your situation the most. Write them down or type and print them out. Say them to yourself every single day. Even better, say them all throughout the day. If these seems silly, remind yourself that you’ve been saying affirmations about your life already every day, you just didn’t realize it. Positive affirmations simply bring the truth back into your life. The truth that you have the potential to be healthy and well.

  • Believe

A spiritual fog, just like real-life fog, leaves you not able to see what is truly there.  Believe that a spiritual fog is simply covering up, not eliminating what is there.  Allow yourself to believe that you are co-creating with the divine.  Focus every day for 7 seconds on what you desire to send it to the Universe, and for 68 seconds to help bring the beginning of that manifestation to fruition.  You will see that as you ask and focus on that positive desire, it will be delivered at the perfect moment.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. – Matthew 21:22

You see, it’s not that your clarity is missing or gone, it’s been there the whole time – it’s just not visible through a mental, physical, or spiritual fog.  Once the light shines and warms you past the D.E.W. Point, your clarity appears once more.  Take in your new clarity and witness the wonders of life. They have surrounded you the entire time.

By allowing the proverbial “sun” to shine in your life, it will brighten and warm you inside and evaporate the haze in your life.  You’ll be seeing clearly before you know it. 🙂
