\"\"<\/a>This is post 210 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to manifest your desires.. I do it every day! Read all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/strong><\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

You may have many things you don\u2019t like in your life. Maybe you\u2019re not making enough money to support your lifestyle or you can\u2019t meet a good romantic partner or you or a loved one is sick or you\u2019re in debt or a million other things you don\u2019t like. If you fight against them, putting out resistance about them, you actually reinforce having them. And that\u2019s what the Law of Attraction picks up on.<\/p>\n

I know how hard it is when things are going wrong. It can put you into a bad mood and your focus is on what you don\u2019t want. But that\u2019s counterproductive if you want the Law of Attraction to work for your highest good. If you try to deny your situation, you\u2019re still giving it energy. Most of us tend to go to thoughts, often aloud, that express unhappiness with what\u2019s going on, like:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s so unfair that other people are advancing in my company and I\u2019m stuck in a boring position with a low salary.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0My husband shouldn\u2019t criticize me all the time and make me feel bad.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I shouldn\u2019t be feeling so lousy.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I hate being unhappy!
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Etc.<\/p>\n

The more you fight what\u2019s going on in your life with these kinds of negative thoughts, the more you\u2019ll manifest more of what you don\u2019t want in your life. In order to get past these negative situations, you need to stop resisting what is in your life by accepting it all, because this is what\u2019s happening right now. With acceptance, change can come. Until you accept your what is, you won\u2019t be able to change it, or it will take way longer than it has to. When you complain about something, you focus on what you don\u2019t like, which goes out to the Universe and keeps coming back to you.<\/p>\n

Each resisting thought or statement\u2014going on and on thinking \u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m stuck in an apartment I hate because I can\u2019t afford more. I\u2019ll never get out of here.\u201d and thoughts like that\u2014keeps you there. Each complaint or bemoaning of what\u2019s going on reinforces more of it. Those thoughts put you in a negative prison of your own doing. But, you can take the resistance bars down by accepting what\u2019s going on. If you\u2019re in an apartment you hate, you\u2019re there. Hating it won\u2019t change it.<\/p>\n

Changing your attitude and thoughts about it can change it. When you relax in the reality and focus on making changes in positive ways, you give yourself some power to change it. Accept the reality and know you can fix what\u2019s going wrong for you. Focus on your blessings to put yourself into a better mood. Create affirmations that work for you:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t know why I\u2019m going through this but something great will come of it.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI choose for my life to get better.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI\u2019m smart and can figure out a way to improve my life.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s a reason for this and it will turn around when I let it.\u201d<\/p>\n

A great way to do this is to use EFT (Tapping) to clear your resistance. I have a whole week of posts about it HERE<\/strong><\/a>. Otherwise those limiting thoughts will sabotage your desire to change life for the better. You CAN! The choice is yours\u2014wallow in self-pity or cheer up and decide to focus on changing what you don\u2019t like. Ask for help from your higher power. I put my situations into God\u2019s hands and things always work out. Let the Law of Attraction support positive change by expecting it to happen.<\/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\/3579","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=3579"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3581,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3579\/revisions\/3581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
