This is post 219 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

Have you ever felt down, unsupported or as if life is going against you? Have you ever been worried, or scared? Of course you have. We all have negative emotions or thoughts sometimes. Unfortunately, those negative feelings reflect a lack of faith and create a negative vibration that attracts the kind of stuff you don\u2019t want. In my DoorMat days I turned to thoughts like \u201cWoe is me\u201d or \u201cHow will I manage?\u201d or \u201cHow can I get my crazy life in order?\u201d or many other statements or questions that negatively doubted my ability to cope. And it kept me stuck in DoorMatville for a long time because I kept attracting the negative results of those thoughts.<\/p>\n

The more I wanted to love myself, the more I knew I had to find ways to stay on a positive track that was good for me. So I came up with some things that I say that remind me to move forward with self-love and keep the faith that I\u2019ll be okay. Now I help my clients to find their own words of hope, encouragement or power that can snap them out of a funk and put them on a positive path. You should find your own too!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s normal to go to a negative place when something negative happens. I sure do. But it\u2019s you choice to stay there or do something quickly to get into a positive mindset, which will facilitate your problem finding resolution instead of staying negative by thinking negatively. Creating your own personal positive mantra is a loving way to prepare yourself for times when you need a boost in your morale. Like an affirmation, a mantra is a word or phrase or sentence that you can say to yourself to remind you that you need to take care of yourself, and that everything will be work out.<\/p>\n

This mantra is YOURS so I can\u2019t tell you what words to use. Whatever you choose should have meaning to you. It can be a word or two of encouragement, like \u201cI rock\u201d or a positive affirmation, like \u201cI know I\u2019ll be fine.\u201d It can even be the name of someone you love as a reminder that you have a lot to be grateful for. My favorite mantra to get me on a self-loving track is \u201cFocus on self!\u201d\u00a0 When people are expecting more than I want to give or I\u2019m feeling overwhelmed, I repeat, \u201cFocus on self!\u201d It reminds me to be kind to me and that I must take care of myself and my needs. Other mantras I go to are:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cEverything will work out fine\u201d<\/strong> I love this one when things seem to be going wrong. I\u2019m currently using this as I write because there\u2019s a massive outage in my area and I have no telephone and Internet service. But I keep reminding myself that it will be fine. [NOTE: It all worked out okay.]<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI trust in God\/the Universe to take care of me. All is well in my world.\u201d<\/strong> When I feel scared or worried about something that isn\u2019t working out, I use this to remind myself that faith will get me through.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI love me and intend to take good care of me.\u201d<\/strong> This is a great one to just get yourself into a positive state of mind in general.<\/p>\n

Find your own personal mantra and use it to switch gears when negatives are happening. \u201cYou go girl\/guy!\u201d \u201cI can get this done!\u201d \u201cLife is good!\u201d Or another one of my favorites\u2014\u201cI love me!\u201d Getting yourself into a positive state of mind is a great act of self-love. It keeps you in a good mood and also allows the Law of Attraction to pick up on a positive vibe so things can work out fast. That\u2019s a great way to say, \u201cI love me!\u201d<\/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\/3875","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=3875"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3875\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3877,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3875\/revisions\/3877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
