The law of attraction is one of those things that appears totally unlikely when you first encounter it. After all, why would just thinking about something bring it into your actual life?
It sounds way too good to be true.
But stop to think for a minute. If you’ve ever bought a car, did you notice that there seemed to be lots more of the make, model and color you were thinking about in the days when you were deciding? Then, a while after you’d made the purchase, the number went back to normal.
That happens a lot. Because you were thinking about it.
You can put it to the test next time you’re out and about. Think about something you’d like to see – not something totally unlikely like an elephant walking down the high street (long gone are the days when a P T Barnum circus would have made that happen) but something that’s possible yet unlikely. Maybe a flurry of red scarves or neon color shoelaces.
Set that in your mind as something you’d like to attract.
Then there’s a high chance it will happen. Because your mind is working on finding it.
That’s the essence of the law of attraction.
And attracting our thoughts into our lives happens way too often for it to be a coincidence.
Do this for a few days with different things, maybe getting braver and more audacious as the days go by and you start to convince yourself that there just might be something in this law of attraction thing that is more than just smoke and mirrors.
Which is why so many people believe the law of attraction is just as real as gravity and other laws.
If you’ve ever delved into quantum physics (I know, not an everyday thing for most folks) then you’ll know there are weirder things in that subject. Things like black holes evaporating and eventually vanishing, albeit not an event we’ll be around to witness as the timescale involved is exceptionally long. Physicists also say that the universe is expanding – they state that as a fact but they don’t say (or know) what it’s expanding into and they’re really not sure about most of the things involved in that statement.
So it’s actually nowhere near as daft to believe in the law of attraction. You don’t have to run expensive laboratory tests or create massive things like the large hadron collider to test it. All you have to do is think.
The nice thing about the law of attraction is it can be used to attract all sorts of things into our lives.
The negative side is that if your thoughts are mostly negative, that’s what you’ll attract.
Think about that statement for a minute – where do your thoughts go most of the time? Are they thinking about scarcity and lack and bad things happening? Or are they thinking about abubdance, good luck and good things happening?
You’ll instinctively know where your thoughts are most of the time.
And you can then look around you and see whether those thoughts being attracted into your life and being turned into reality.
My guess is that’s the case.
The less limits you put on your thoughts and the more you train your mind to think positive things more often, the more you’ll attract those kind of things into your life.
If you’re still not convinced, try it as an experiment for a few days or even a week.
Focus on a few things you’d like to attract into your life. When you catch yourself drifting back into the negative areas (that will likely happen, after all, you’re human) snap those thoughts back to more positive ones. And don’t beat yourself up for having negative thoughts – they happen, it’s what you do with them that’s important.
The more detail you can put into your thoughts, the better. That helps the universe understand what you’re looking for.
Make the intentions vivid and full of detail – as if they were showing on a giant Imax movie screen and you could almost walk into them and join in the fun. Our minds have difficulty separating vivid day dreams like that from reality. That’s why people jump out of their seats during scary movies or start crying during rom-coms.
Then give the universe time to do its magic.
Focus on something else, confident in the knowledge that the universe will deliver.
Maybe not instantly – some things take longer than others. Maybe not in the precise form you thought you wanted – that could be because your wish wasn’t precise or it could be because the universe has delivered something even better.
Which reminds me – when you’re sending our signals to the universe, don’t limit yourself. Include words like “at least” or similar so that you leave open the possibility of getting even more than you thought was possible.
Because the universe is abundant – plants create more seeds than could ever germinate, things grow, as I mentioned earlier the universe itself is mind bogglingly vast and getting even bigger.
Go for it.
And have some fun attracting all sorts of new – and good – things into your life.
Maybe with a little help from a law of attraction booster – we could all do with a little help at times!
It’s a simple example of the law of attraction in practice.
