This is post 23 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action, inspired by watching Louise Hay\u2019s You Can Heal Your Life<\/span><\/a>, the movie, expanded version. You CAN use your power to attract all that you need. I do it every day!<\/p>\n

Many people fail to effectively use the power of the Law of Attraction because they expect instant gratification.<\/span> If they say an affirmation a few times and nothing happens, they give up.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t tell the Universe what the right time to receive something is. Part of having a faithful lifestyle is trusting that you\u2019ll get what you need when the time is right.<\/span><\/p>\n

My transition from living in DoorMatville to living as I wanted to wasn\u2019t easy, or quick. When I took the first step and got divorced, I was terrified\u2014of being lonely, stuck in a worse place, and anything else my negative mind could conjure up. The easy way out seemed like getting into a house share situation. I found some people I knew to share one with me. It was a convenient location. But trying to find new roommates when the trusted ones left was tough. Being in that house was a rough time, as I struggled to find me and create a happy life.<\/p>\n

I went back to being more of a DoorMat to keep \u201cfriends\u201d in my world.<\/span> It reinforced my feeling used and taken for granted. One-sided friendships do that!<\/p>\n

I was miserable and didn\u2019t know what to do. I\u2019d left my husband to become a happy, empowered woman and was more of a DoorMat than before\u2014until a friend insisted I read You Can Heal Your Life<\/a> by Louise Hay. I\u2019ve said before that this book truly guided me to heal my life. It was a process, of learning to use the Law of Attraction, and then putting it into use. A lot of lessons helped me. But a profound one was reading the full page text on page 248<\/span>.<\/p>\n

I guess it can be called an affirmation. It\u2019s long but affirms a happy, satisfying life in many areas\u2014health, home, work, play, love from everyone around you.<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know what a happy, satisfying life was back then. I did know I felt better when I read it out loud. At first I read the whole page in the morning and before I went to sleep. It felt like a wish to have love and joy. I didn\u2019t understand the Law of Attraction back then. In the past, it would have seemed silly to read this page aloud. After all, it affirmed that I had mostly things I didn\u2019t have, like a home that brings me lots of joy. I HATED living in that house but felt stuck. I didn\u2019t enjoy teaching or feel much love from those around me.<\/p>\n

Yet I continued reading this full-page affirmation! And it continued to give me solace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Louise Hay says a version of what\u2019s on this page on her audio material. When I listen, I say it along with her. Two years later, I was still in my situation but I\u2019d practiced using the Law of Attraction and by then my faith was getting strong. It helped give me the courage to move into an apartment in Manhattan. It was still rough for a while as I burned my teaching license renewal, to force myself to find other ways to earn a living. I asked God for more guidance and it was given. Soon I was teaching workshops on my areas of expertise and began writing books.<\/p>\n

A funny thing happened. The year after I moved into my current apartment, I read the full page affirmation on New Years Eve, which I do each year. When I finished, a light bulb exploded in my head! I\u2019d been saying this long affirmation for years\u2014with hope, wishful thinking, and eventually strong faith. Now it was true!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d manifested EVERYTHING I affirmed on page 248 in You Can Heal Your Life.<\/span> I WAS healthy, happy and whole on my own.<\/p>\n

I LOVE my apartment with its sunshine and great location. I LOVE the way I earn a living. Having a passion driven life rocks! I take good care of myself and it results in fabulous good health! I only have wonderful loving people in my world. And I\u2019m ecstatically happy\u2014far from the DoorMat I used to be. This was finally the RIGHT time for me. I\u2019d left the house I hated living in, burned my teaching license while affirming I\u2019d never again earn a living doing what I didn\u2019t love, and put myself into God\u2019s hands. Even when nothing happened, I continued doing that long affirmation.<\/p>\n

I know now that the Law of Attraction led me to my fantastic apartment. It wasn\u2019t where I expected to live. Things kept going wrong as I searched for one in the neighborhood I\u2019d decided to move to. But I kept trusting I\u2019d find the right place. It was completely \u201caccidental\u201d that I landed here. I took my current apartment because someone offered it to me and I had to move fast. My plan was to move again in a year. But it ended up being the perfect space for me.<\/p>\n

When circumstances kept going awry, I didn\u2019t ask \u201cwhy me?\u201d Instead, I affirmed, \u201cEverything happens for a reason. Whatever is meant to be will be.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

And there was a reason! This is the right space for me! Later I understood that by affirming Louise\u2019s full-page affirmation, I spoke like I already had it. That set the Law of Attraction into action to manifest when the time was right. Looking back, some very negative events motivated me to move into the city, like God giving me a good swift kick to leave. That forced me to look for ways to make a living from my talents. It was a process that happened over a few years.<\/p>\n

Change doesn\u2019t usually happen overnight. Those of us who trust enough to wait until the time is right, and accept the circumstances on the road to manifesting, are the ones who attract the most.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once my faith was strong, I accepted I could wait for whenever I was ready to receive what I wanted. Practice acceptance in whatever way things happen. Now I expect to get what\u2019s for my highest good. If you\u2019re not getting what you say you want, you may not be ready for it. When I affirm and affirm what I want and time passes with no results, I think about what else I need to do to be ready for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

* You may wish for a wonderful romantic partner but may need to work on loving yourself first to attract someone loving.<\/p>\n

* You may hope for a better job but may need to prepare yourself more with research or taking classes.<\/p>\n

* You may long to get an apartment on your own but may be scared of taking care of yourself and need to become more independent first by doing some things alone.<\/p>\n

* You may dream about having lots more money but not feel worthy of receiving goodies.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re truly ready, the Universe will respond. Prepare for what you want to manifest. Do the work. Show you\u2019re serious about receiving it. Let go of any anger or frustration about not receiving it on cue. Then trust that when the time is right, you\u2019ll get it. If you relax in that mindset and keep putting it out, the time WILL come.<\/span> It always does for me!<\/p>\n

After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
