You CAN use your power to attract all that you need. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Law of Attraction in Action Series <\/strong><\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n<p>I heard from many people in response to my Law of Attraction in Action post on <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2010\/08\/law-of-attraction-in-action-subtle-cheating.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Subtle Cheating<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Many people thought about what I said and realized that some of their actions could tell they Universe they needed to cut corners because they felt lack. I used to go into the same stores whenever I could and get the same samples of products I like to avoid having to buy them.<\/p>\n<p>Consciousness made me realize that I was telling the Universe I couldn\u2019t afford to buy them\u2014a mindset of LACK!<\/p>\n<p>So much of our behavior is habits. <strong>You do things the way you\u2019re used to and often don\u2019t think before acting.<\/strong> You come home and put your jacket in the same place, check your messages and other things that become like rituals done automatically. You also might automatically get angry with someone who regularly annoys you or worry about bills as you open the mail or always look for ways to get over on people to save you time or money.<\/p>\n<p>Positive or negative, the Law of Attraction picks up on what you do and you attract accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>When I began to live by the Law of Attraction, I became more conscious of my behavior. What was the more subtle message behind what I did? Was I sending the wrong idea to the Universe? Often I was. I\u2019ve always been budget-conscious but some of my habits sent out fear of not having enough money. When I found something with a very expired expiration date in the back of a cabinet, I\u2019d use it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Why waste money throwing it out? Because I love me and want to only use good products!<\/p>\n<p>I can afford to waste an occasional product rather than not use something that I know is good. I want to tell the Universe I\u2019m not scared of not having enough money! So I\u2019ve been much more conscious of analyzing what my actions will attract. <strong>Pay attention to what you do automatically. You might be surprised at some of the things you do that attract what you don\u2019t want.<\/strong> Slowly clean your habit house\u2014your normal response to situations and behavior you regularly engage in. Make room to attract more blessings!<\/p>\n<p>Do you negate compliments so people won\u2019t think you\u2019re vain? Does change rattle you for no reason? Do you say \u201cno problem\u201d to requests when it is a problem? And the big one, do you automatically say \u201cyes\u201d when to anything asked of you? Be more conscious of the actions you take automatically. These become so ingrained that we often don&#8217;t realize what we&#8217;re doing. Awareness allows you to change your behavior and send a stronger message to the Universe.<\/p>\n<p>Do or say what feels good to you, not what others expect or actions based on fear or the desire to be liked.<\/p>\n<p>When you change your actions you change the message you send and it can help you attract more of what you want. Thinking before you say &#8220;yes&#8221; says you deserve to get more of what YOU want. Using products that are good for you or that make you smile shows the Universe that you want to give yourself love. Often these automatic actions aren\u2019t what you want, they\u2019re just doing something the way you always have. But you can change automatic responses and actions by thinking first and asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s best for me?\u201d Then the Law of Attraction supports you in getting what\u2019s best for your highest good.<br \/>\n********<\/p>\n<p>Take the <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-pledge\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>self-love challenge<\/strong><\/a> and get my book, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-book\" target=\"_blank\">How Do I Love Me?

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. 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 &amp; 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\/1606","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=1606"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1625,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1606\/revisions\/1625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
