in the last decade or so the idea of the
law of attraction has become pretty
mainstream you've probably heard of it
by now and maybe someone even
recommended that you read or watch the
secret if you haven't heard of the law
of attraction or could use a refresher
no worries we'll be going over all the
basics today starting with what it is
the law of attraction is said to be a
force that is at work at all times
attracting the things that we focus on
into our lives essentially it boils down
to like attracts like that means if you
have a positive mindset you attract good
things in your life and if you have a
negative one it's less favourable things
that you attract every area of our lives
including our careers relationships
health and finances is affected by the
law of attraction proponents of the
philosophy say that because it's our
attention that determines what our lives
are like we can attract the things that
we want if we manage where our attention
goes the key is this shift our focus
keeping it on the things that we want
and away from the things that we don't
want it can be difficult to do but there
are a few commonly used techniques that
can help anyone to do it
what is its simplest and most popular
techniques is the use of a vision board
the first step is of course to make your
own vision board make a list of all the
things you want they could be a material
object a particular job a loving
relationship a state of being anything
at all once you've clearly defined and
this is really important you have to
clearly define it collect images that
reflect on the things that you want and
assemble them into a collage now this
might seem pretty cheesy but it works if
you believe in it you can also include
words or phrases if they help express
your goals you can assemble them in any
way that you like but it's a good idea
to use something like a cork board so
that you can add more or remove images
as Prime goes on when you feel good
about how your board looks hang it up
somewhere that you'll see it a lot its
purpose is to act as a reminder of where
your focus should be so that you have a
clear view that it's important for sake
of practicality you must know that
putting this board up isn't going to get
you closer to your goal it's the fact
that it will influence you that is
important now every time you see the
board take a minute and think of the
things on it and imagine how it would
feel to already have those things feel
happy feel excited feel grateful
deciding on what you want to have formed
and intention but the emotion tied to
the intention is a huge part of
attracting what you want placing your
focus without putting energy behind it
basically leave the
water affirmations are another way to
help you shift your focus affirmations
are phrases that reinforce positive
feelings and help you stick with a new
mindset so for example if you have been
sick but you want to get healthy
try saying an affirmation like my body
is strong and resilient as you say the
words imagine that your body is already
strong and resilient you've already
reached your goal of health now this
sounds really hocus-pocus II but it's
true or at least it seems it I remember
reading a story about some kid that uh
he had cancer and before he went to bed
every night he was really young and he
was really into Star Wars and every
night he would imagine stormtroopers and
fighter jets attacking the cancer cells
in his body within a couple months the
cancer just magically disappeared it was
amazing focus on how it feels and hold
on to it for a couple minutes again the
emotion behind your intention is really
important to attractive what you want I
recently watched the movie split and I
know that is a fictional movie but the
idea that our brain control the rest of
our body and can do amazing things is
totally true the third technique is
visualization it should be done while
you're very relaxed ideally while
meditating certainly finding a suitable
place to do your visualization pick
somewhere where you can get really
comfortable somewhere that's indoors or
outdoors it depends on yourself in
silence or quiet music you just have to
be self aware whatever works for you is
great breathe deeply
clear your mind and if you can get into
a meditative state then build a picture
in your mind of what you want see the
goal with as much detail as possible
include since sounds physical sensations
and even smell if you can and don't
imagine the road to reaching your goal
just the goal itself for example if you
want to be a teacher imagine being in
your classroom imagine writing on the
chalkboard for your students or
blackboard can you feel the dustiness of
the chalk can you hear your students
behind you what does your classroom look
like to you
once you have a clear image of your goal
the thing that you desire imagine how it
would feel to attain that goal hold on
to the joy confidence pride comfort and
other positive feelings that come up and
affirm them that's what you want to
attract now while you're going through
this process of realigning your thinking
there are a couple of things to keep in
mind one is to make sure that your focus
is on the positive and what you want to
do as opposed to what you don't want so
returning to the health example focus on
becoming healthy not
on overcoming illness focus on dudes
instead of don'ts if you focus on
overcoming illness the idea of illness
is still included with your focus which
could attract more of it so keep the
subject what you want to make sure
you're not accidentally attracting the
opposite
just like improvement pills video on the
same topic I highly recommend you go
watch it is amazing I loved it our
brains are basically problem-solving
machines and we can't solve a problem if
we don't focus on the solution another
thing I mentioned is that it's not only
your conscious focus that impacts what
you attract your subconscious mind and
your unconscious mind both have an
effect to changing the beliefs hidden
below the surface can be tricky but it's
doable as you consciously change your
focus you might notice doubts and fears
come to light as I do try to work
through them do your best to figure out
why you feel those fears and let them go
then as you continue to reinforce your
new positive beliefs they will start to
replace the underlying negativity that
might have been helping you attract the
things that you don't want this step can
definitely take time but keep at it and
you'll notice the changes in the way you
think and feel over time and then
there's the importance of letting go as
important as it is to hold focus on the
things you desire there also has to be
some amount of release as well obsessing
can turn negative if you don't get what
you want right away we're in the way
that you expected it will lead to doubt
and disappointment which definitely
won't attract the things that you're
after let go of your expectations and
trust that what you want will come to
you the letting go doesn't mean that you
can just sit back and wait there's a
misconception that using the law of
attraction to get things means that they
will just fall into your lap well this
is always a possibility chances are that
you're still going to have to put in the
hard work for that new job or take steps
towards meeting at someone special you
might attract opportunities and this is
very important you might attract
opportunities that lead you to your end
goal your mind will search for and find
opportunities and if you don't act
you'll never get there take advantage of
this stepping-stone that you have
created by these positive affirmations
that you've worked hard to bring into
your life they will lead you to where
you want to be and those are the basics
of the law of attraction you might be
thinking this sounds pretty new agey and
honestly it is popular among new age
groups but there are scientific reasons
to believe that the way you think
affects how you feel
take the placebo effect if you believe a
pill will make you better it often will
regardless of whether it's actually
medicine or a simple sugar pill
there are countless documented cases of
people experiencing spontaneous
remission from serious conditions that
their shift in the way that they think
if your thoughts and feelings can affect
your body is it so unreasonable to
believe that they can affect other parts
of your life too I hope this helps you
give an accurate idea of what the law of
attraction is and how people claim it
can be used to achieve their goals if
there's something you want to change
about your life why not try out some of
the techniques covered in this video and
just see what happens
just experiment this is the number one
rule that I found out in life that works
amazingly take something test it for a
while and if it works keep using it and
if you've tried these techniques before
let me know in the comments what your
experience was like I hope you guys
