This is my sixth post in my Monday series on the Law of Attraction, inspired by watching Louise Hay\u2019s You Can Heal Your Life<\/span><\/a>, the movie, expanded version, except it\u2019s not Monday. ?It\u2019s been a hectic week and I couldn\u2019t get it up till now. I\u2019ve been on the road with little time to do anything extra. Currently I\u2019m in Miami to speak and am staying longer just to chill and be away. That should attract feeling more relaxed!<\/p>\n

The timing is perfect for me to discuss how our perception of age attracts a more positive or negative reality. My birthday was on Friday. That\u2019s a day I become like a kid, celebrating another wonderful year of my life. Do you see how I phrased that? I rejoice in each year and the Universe returns that with another good one. Many people see their birthdays as a year closer to the end–bemoaning the years instead of celebrating them. And what does hating getting older attract? Lower self-esteem; fear of each year coming, which attracts stress and dampens joy.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t change your age but you can change how you perceive it!<\/span><\/p>\n

I see myself as a young chickie, though I\u2019ve been out of my twenties for quite a while. When you feel old, it can attract rejection. Discomfort with your age attracts discomfort with yourself. Self-esteem gets damaged as you feel \u201cless than\u201d those younger than you. It can also make you feel like you don\u2019t fit in with younger people, which is totally unnecessary!<\/p>\n

I just finished 2 days at a college, speaking to students and hanging with the young people in the organization that brought me down. I fit right in, because I EXPECTED to.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you EXPECT to feel out of place, you will! Why do that? You\u2019re getting older. We all are. That\u2019s part of life. But why attract unhappiness by fearing the passing years and being intimidated or ashamed of your age? I hear women of all ages lamenting their age and refusing to tell even friends how old they are. I have several friends who are younger than me, yet they won\u2019t say their age. They know mine but can\u2019t say theirs. It\u2019s too painful for them. The Law of Attraction causes these women to be unhappy in other areas and it\u2019s a shame!<\/p>\n

Your number doesn\u2019t change who you are unless you adopt a perspective of gloom and attract gloom for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I sometimes don\u2019t tell someone my age right away. I like them to get to know me first as a person. Whether someone knows my age or not, I\u2019m still the same girl. If they like and respect me before knowing how old I am, that shouldn\u2019t change when they find out. If they thought I was younger and it bothers them, they can stuff it!<\/p>\n

Your age doesn\u2019t determine who you are. You become the person that your attitude attracts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week I had lunch with a friend. As we discussed my birthday, she sadly expressed that she was dreading hers. She\u2019s only twenty-five and looks fantastic! Yet she sat there talking about turning twenty-six like she\u2019d shrivel up on that day. At first I laughed when she fervently mourned her upcoming birthday. But I realized this was traumatic for her. She\u2019d be closer to thirty than twenty. Yet you don\u2019t just become OLD on your birthday. It\u2019s just a calendar day to remember how many years you\u2019ve been blessed to be on this earth.<\/p>\n

You can be twenty years old or seventy years young. It\u2019s YOUR choice what comes after your number. I choose YOUNG!<\/span><\/p>\n

My self-perception is ageless. I\u2019m ageless! Just Daylle in the current package. No apologies or fears. I love me as I am and celebrate each birthday as a blessing, not a curse. I take the best care that I can to stay fit and healthy and am rewarded with a youthful look and demeanor. The Law of Attraction brings me lots of joy and contentment as each year passes. I act content, and receive it back.<\/p>\n

Accept yourself as you are, in your own skin, with your own longevity.<\/span> Rejoice in the years. You really do get better if you expect to. Sure, I feel a few more creaks and notice some small signs of age. My skin has some lines. But with good care and good products, I remain as good as I can be at any age. Own your years joyously and the Law of Attraction will bring you contentment. Celebrate your years and the Law of Attraction will bring you more to celebrate.<\/p>\n

Always remember you\u2019re the same person whether you admit your age or not. A number can\u2019t change you. Only a negative attitude toward it will make you unhappy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I get older each day and I embrace it with gratitude that I\u2019m here, getting older, staying healthy and still looking pretty darn hot. As I live life to its fullest, the Law of Attraction makes life wonderful, despite the years ticking by. I advise you to join me in becoming ageless and not worrying about getting older. Focus on maintaining good health and doing what you can to not let age stop you from doing new things and achieving your goals.<\/p>\n

Age doesn\u2019t limit you. YOU limit you.<\/span> But you can change that NOW by letting go of any negatives you may attach to your age and enjoy your life more! ?<\/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\/188","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=188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
