Create Good Things

Archive for the ‘Positive Attitude’ Category

The aim of most people who study and work with the Law of Attraction and other metaphysical principles is to turn apparently negative attitudes, situations and circumstances into positives. For example, a person might want to turn debt into wealth, sickness into health, a bad relationship into a good one, or a dissatisfying job into a career that rewards them on every possible level.

Unfortunately, many people make three fundamental mistakes when trying to turn negatives into positives, and unless those mistakes are highlighted and avoided, achieving success with the Law of Attraction or any other metaphysical system will always be an uphill struggle. Here then, are the three mistakes which are commonly made, and how to avoid them…

Focusing on the Negative
The first mistake that people commonly make is focusing on the negative condition they want to change. For example, a person who wants to get out of debt may spend most of their time thinking about the debt and thereby continue to sustain that debt situation (albeit unconsciously) with their energy. The way to avoid this scenario is to focus on the positive that you do want rather than on the negative that you don’t – on abundance instead of wealth, on health instead of sickness, and so on.

Resisting the Negative
Closely associated with the mistake of focusing squarely on the negative is resisting the negative. Resisting anything is really just an oblique way of focusing on it, so even if you have a personal mantra which goes “I will not give in to negativity!” you are still making negativity your point of focus. You can avoid this mistake by simply allowing your life to unfold naturally in each and every moment, without judging whether something is desirable or undesirable. The moment you stop resisting the negative is the moment you begin to short-circuit its existence.

Focusing on the Future
Even if you focus on positive things, if you mentally place them somewhere in the future then that is where they will remain. To manifest changes in the here and now you need to think about them as if there were already in the here and now. In other words, don’t visualize yourself experiencing wealth in the future, but work on developing feelings of wealth and abundance right now, whatever your situation. Master this simple (yet admittedly challenging) principle and you will unlock the power of the Law of Attraction in your life like never before.

In Create a New Self-Image IV we presented Step 2 and Step 3 of our five-step process to recreate your self-image. We will now end the series by presenting Step 4 and Step 5…

Step #4 – Create a New Self Image

Your new self image should be based on the information that you gleaned from your visit to your future self. What inner beliefs enabled your future self to succeed in achieving his or her desire? What had your future self done to succeed? What habits had your future self established?

The answers to these questions should now be adopted as your new self-image. Realise that as of right now, you already are the future self you visited earlier. If you adopt the same beliefs, habits and attitudes, your future will be an exact replica of the one you saw a few moments ago.

Forget past limitations. Forget earlier programming. From this point on you are born again! Your whole life will change, because you have changed at the very core.

Step #5 – You Are The Source

Most people assume that they have to wait for success to come to them. The truth is that success is something which is projected from your own self image. Now that you have a new self-image of success and achievement, you will actively begin to take steps which will ultimately lead to the realisation of your goals and dreams.

Your only task as far as this step of the process is concerned is to meditate on the fact that your future self is being created moment by moment, and that your new self-image will now assist your use of the Law of Attraction in ways you cannot yet imagine. Use it wisely and create good things!

In the last article in this Create a New Self-Image series we presented Step 1 of our five-step process to recreate your self-image. Let us now introduce Step 2 and Step 3…

Step #2 – Future Glimpse

Now watch the globe below you begin to spin faster. Time is passing quickly. As the world turns, imagine that you are looking at the Earth five years from now.

At this point in time, in this alternate universe which you have just created in your mind, you have already succeed in achieving what you currently desire most. You are at the pinnacle of your potential.

Descend slowly towards the earth and visit your future self. Where are you? What are you doing? What do you look like?

Now ask your future self about his or her self-image. What inner beliefs have enabled this future self to succeed in achieving his or her desire? What has your future self done to succeed? What habits has your future self established? What habits has your future self discarded? What limiting beliefs did your future self used to have, but which are now no longer part of his or her self-image?

When you have this information, proceed to…
 
Step #3 – Erase Your Old Self-Image

Now that you know that your chief desire in life is part of your life purpose, and you have visited your future self, ascend back into space. Do not stop until the world is once again spinning below you.

At this point, realise that all of your current beliefs about who you are and what you are capable or incapable of are based on nothing more than the opinions of other people. Rather than sort through which beliefs are true and which are not, simply decide to ‘erase’ your old self-image. To do this, imagine a blank white sheet on which your new self-image will be created.

In the last two parts of this Create a New Self-Image series we established that the self-image can either hinder manifestation or help it, and that if you recreate your self-image you will begin to recreate your entire life. With all of that said, we are now ready to present the Create a New Self-Image process.

Create A New Self-Image Process

This process is divided into five easy steps, all of which will be covered in the next few parts of this series. All but the last step involves a brief meditation on a specific mental image. Follow each step as directed and you will effectively re-program your self-image. For best results this entire five-step process should be repeated often, preferably on a weekly basis for at least five weeks.

Step #1 – Before Birth

Close your eyes and imagine that you have not yet been born. You are an infinite, eternal spiritual being who is about to choose to live as a human for a finite period of time.

Imagine looking at the earth from a ‘gods-eye-view’. The world spins slowly below you – a rotating globe of blue and green.

From this perspective, think about your human desires. What is it that you want to achieve more than anything in your forthcoming lifetime? Career success? Romantic happiness? Spiritual evolution?

Whatever your overwhelming desire is, realise that this desire is not foolish or beyond your reach. On the contrary, the fulfilment of this desire is most probably your life’s purpose, in which case it is imperative that you succeed in achieving it.

Look at the globe of the earth again, and realise that you are going to live as a human in order to achieve this purpose. You are destined to achieve it. You need to achieve it. And most of all, you are already fully equipped to achieve it.
