This is my tenth post in my Monday series on the Law of Attraction in Action, inspired by watching Louise Hay\u2019<\/span>s You Can Heal Your Life<\/span><\/a>, the movie, expanded version.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t been feeling well for 3 weeks. It began with my trip to Miami to speak. I had a lot to drag with me. On the plane, it was hard to get enough water to drink. I normally bring my own but one can\u2019t get through security anymore with water. I brought a nice lunch, which I ate around noon. Schlepping through Miami airport took a while. When I finally got to my hotel, I was exhausted, but went downstairs to meet the others who were there to speak. Forgot to drink enough water.<\/p>\n

Because of people arriving late, dinner wasn\u2019t till nine. I was distracted and didn\u2019t at least grab some of the nuts I had with me. It was a high energy evening, followed by a full day at the event I was there for. After all the schlepping, running around and going long periods without food or enough water, I began to feel shaky. The very high humidity didn\u2019t help any either. And, I was very wound up from all the activities.<\/p>\n

I was ragged by the second night. And it didn\u2019t get any better!<\/span><\/p>\n

I stayed in Miami an extra five days at an apartment someone offered me. I was kind to myself but my body didn\u2019t want to heal. Just couldn\u2019t unwind, which made sleep tough. As I began feeling a little better, I had to go home. That trip was more stressful than usual. Returning home, I had a lot to do and a lot on my mind. Sleep wouldn\u2019t come easily. I began to have ailments I never had before. It was scary. I was so weirded out, stressed, and exhausted I didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n

So I chanted affirmations. Over and over. \u201cI feel fabulous. I\u2019m VERY healthy, VERY relaxed, VERY energized, and I\u2019m sleeping VERY well. All is truly well in my world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For the last three weeks I\u2019ve been saying that many times a day\u2014with enthusiasm I didn\u2019t feel. I thanked God too, for my good health and for feeling fabulous. And, I treated myself with the Reiki skills I have. But nothing seemed to work. During this time I had to take some smaller trips, which tended to wipe out any progress I made in getting my good health back.<\/p>\n

But I never stopped chanting my affirmations and thanking God for my fabulous health, even though I was getting shakes and poor sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

I plodded through my writing with no energy. It got scary. But I tried not to talk about it much. When someone asked how I was, I resisted the urge to share my woes, and just said I was great. I wanted sympathy so badly, and reassurance. But I knew the more I complained, the more energy that went out saying that I wasn\u2019t well. Instead I told most people nothing, or that I was good.<\/p>\n

The two friends I mentioned it to pushed me to go to the doctor. They suggested diseases I could have. But my faith is so strong that I continued to put my health into God\u2019s hands and enthusiastically affirmed how fabulous my health was. It actually was hard. But the more I said it the more I believed it. It continued sending my expectation of good health out to the Universe. Friday night I noticed a shift in my energy. I\u2019d been doing affirmations and felt more relaxed. That night I fell into a deep sleep and woke up refreshed.<\/p>\n

It felt like a miracle. But I knew it was the Law of Attraction in action. I continually put out good health. I guess it took time for my body to respond. But it did!<\/span><\/p>\n

The common response to not feeling well is to succumb to the energy, or lack of, and put out a vibe of illness, etc. I know that the Law of Attraction will pick that up and support it. That sure wasn\u2019t what I wanted! So despite not feeling it, I did my best to put out that I expected good health. It took a little while but eventually worked!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had people tell me they must have the flu or a bad cold when their noses get stuffed. I\u2019ll try to suggest that maybe it\u2019s nothing much, or allergies, but they aren\u2019t having it! Self-diagnosis can make it worse when you expect it to be something unpleasant.<\/span> Next time you don\u2019t feel well, do what you can to nurture yourself and help the symptoms, but don\u2019t take your mind to places of bad illness. Keep telling yourself it\u2019s really not a big deal and you\u2019re healing.<\/p>\n

Let the Law of Attraction aid your healing, instead of prolonging your health problem. It really can work when you let it!<\/span><\/p>\n

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 & 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\/180","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=180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
