The Science Behind the Law of Attraction Magazine Mar April Full mag | Page 49

Using the Law Of Attraction successfully is a matter of
choice. This means you are either choosing to create and
sustain supportive habits that lead to your success or you
are choosing not to. If you aren't mastering new habits and
applying what you know you are living from your old
habits.
If you want something different and better, step up and
make it happen. Do new, different, positive things. Apply
basic practices daily. These basics are affirmations; reading
inspiring material; meditating; visualizing; journaling and
more. Whatever practices you choose, do them regularly
and continuously.
Make mastering these habits
an obsession. Focus your
energy on being the best you,
you can be. That?s what an
Olympic champion does. The
champion doesn't dabble,
whine or make excuses. The
champion trains mentally,
physically, and emotionally
every day. Why should you
expect to do any less?
Notice what you just thought, or said to yourself, when you
read those last sentences. What you just said to yourself is
your answer to that question. What you think reveals who
you are. Whatever you think it will be, it will be. If you think
it will be hard you?ll be right. If you think it easy, you?ll be
right. Your beliefs and expectations shape your results.
If you want to be a champion decide to become a
champion. Think as a champion does and you?ll feel and
behave as a champion. Master these basic principles and
practices. Then, you?ll readily create and attract what you
want. It gets easier, and faster as you do. Just as a champion
trains you train yourself. If you work it, you will get it to
work. If you don?t, there?s not much that?ll help you. It?s a
matter of choice.
Commit to mastering the basics, then, you?ll have positive,
powerful supportive new habits that help you make things
happen and attract what you want. Decide your word is the
law. Whatever you declare or command is what will be.
Keep your word and your promises to others and yourself.
Never say anything that?s self-defeating or negative.
Whatever you declare it to be, it will be. It?s what you say it
is. Your thoughts shape your reality.
Reactions are knee jerk and come from your previous,
haphazard, less than glorious, negative conditioning while
growing up. Your reactions determine your limitations. To
be able to respond differently is to discover you have
choice to think, feel and behave differently. You learn to
respond. You were conditioned to react.
Your responses free you. The ability to respond arises
from recognizing you have choice. It requires that you
notice your tendency to instantly react from conditioning.
While different things get you angry you really only get
angry pretty much the same way each time. This is true of
all our emotions.
We have a physical sequence of neuro-electro-chemical
actions and transitions that lead
us into the emotional and
physical states we feel and
become aware of. If you notice
the beginning of the sequence
and re-direct it, then, you control
it, instead of it controlling you.
As soon as you begin to get
angry, notice it. Catch it and
change it. Right as you start to get
angry STOP and take some deep
breathes. Count up to 1000. STOP and walk it off. Jump up
and down. Do something silly. Create space between what
you?d have automatically done and what you now choose to
do differently. Create a pause.
When you do you make room for yourself to change. The
same is true with any habitual thought or behavior. Become
conscious of it and deliberately attempt to get in front of it
to change it. Notice the sensations of irritation or
frustration or sadness growing. Where do you feel it in your
body? What is the first sensation you become aware of?
What do you say to yourself? How do you say it? What do
you see as you
begin to get
angry?
As you notice
these sensations,
pictures, sounds,
words, and
feelings AND
re-direct them
you gain control
over them. You
alter them. You
stop them from
being a problem.
You create a break, interrupt the pattern, and direct the
