Turning Negatives into Positives
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.
