\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/span> This is post 69 in my series on the Law of Attraction in Action. You CAN use your power to attract all that you need. I do it every day! Read the posts in this series<\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

I was with my friend Lori last week when she couldn\u2019t find her car keys. She\u2019d put them into her jacket pocket when she went into a class but they weren\u2019t there when she left. Someone must have accidentally picked them up. It was a mystery. I met up with her after. She got frantic and spoke of gloom and doom. While I warned her to stop, she kept saying she knew she wouldn\u2019t find her keys. And guess what? They never turned up!<\/p>\n

Expressing doubt that something will or won\u2019t happen blocks it from happening or attracts what you don\u2019t want.<\/span><\/p>\n

When someone drove us to Lori\u2019s house, she went on and on about how she hadn\u2019t seen her spare keys in ages and was sure she wouldn\u2019t find them. Hello! The Law of Attraction delivers on those thoughts. And they did. She searched her drawers, all the while affirming she wouldn\u2019t find the spare keys. I warned her that the doubt she expressed would sabotage finding them but she kept saying I didn\u2019t understand and she needed to rant. And the Universe sent her more to rant about.<\/p>\n

Doubt says you don\u2019t trust that you\u2019ll get what you want. It\u2019s hard to be faithful and doubtful at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doubt is expressed in many ways. You don\u2019t have to directly say, \u201cI doubt it\u201d for doubt to sabotage your desires. Saying \u201cI hope so\u201d expresses doubt. Often when someone is nervous that something important won\u2019t work out, I insist that it will. Instead of agreeing with me, more commonly I hear \u201cI hope so.\u201d I state what they want and they express doubt by saying they hope it will happen instead of expressing a belief that it will. And then they wonder why they don\u2019t get what they want.<\/p>\n

Our power is in the KNOWING.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeling uneasy about what you want to happen shows doubt. I know how important situations can make you nervous. I\u2019ve been there! It\u2019s hard to not worry and doubt a good outcome when things look bad. My friend was terrified of the repercussions of losing her car keys and her logic made her think if she hadn\u2019t found them easily, they just weren\u2019t there. Emotions push our doubt buttons. You can push back if you\u2019re aware and choose to stop the doubt! This is a CRITICAL concept to understand if you want to use the Law of Attraction more fully”<\/p>\n

Our power is in the KNOWING.<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned this when my book How to Please a Woman In & Out of Bed<\/a> came out. All Men Are Jerks Until Proven Otherwise<\/a> was still going strong and an author friend looked me in the eye and said I HAD TO get on Howard Stern. HAD TO! I felt her passion about it and KNEW I HAD TO get on the show. I didn\u2019t hope or wish or dream or pray. I KNEW. I told people I\u2019d be on Howard Stern within the next 3 weeks. I even announced it during a TV appearance. When I told the publisher\u2019s publicist, she laughed and said it wouldn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

I just asked her to make sure Howard\u2019s producer had a copy of my books and the Law of Attraction would do the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

She thought I was nuts! People I told I\u2019d be on the show humored me like I was a mental case but I kept saying I\u2019d be on Howard Stern within that 3 week period, with complete assurance, since I KNEW it. I needed to go on this show so I HAD TO get on. It was that simple. I never felt doubt. A week later, my publicist called and with wonderment, asked how I did it? Howard\u2019s producer had called for me to be on the show. I told her God supported my thoughts. All I did was put it out that I KNEW I\u2019d be on. A few days later I spent 35 commercial-free minutes chatting with Howard as he plugged my books with enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

It was then that I recognized that our power is in the KNOWING.<\/span><\/p>\n

KNOWING isn\u2019t easy. You can just say you know you\u2019re going to get something and try to stifle your doubts. You really have to know enough to trust the process to work. KNOWING comes as your faith gets stronger. First you need your foundation, which is built by practicing smaller acts of manifesting. For example, last night I was waiting for my train. Two lines ran on the same track. Mine ran less often. As I heard a train coming, I kept saying \u201cuptown E.\u201d \u201cuptown E.\u201d And it was! I do that effortless now but had to practice at the beginning. Each time it works, your ability to KNOW gets stronger.<\/p>\n

KNOWING begins with learning to replace doubt with faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you hear yourself getting doubtful, try to slow yourself down with deep breathing. Ask yourself, \u201cDo I want to prove my doubts correct or get what I want?\u201d If it\u2019s the latter, do what you can to calm down. Saying affirmations does that for me. As I say them over and over, it reminds me that the Law of Attraction works when I let it, and I become more likely to let it. My faves are:<\/p>\n

\u201cI trust in the Universe to take care of me. All is well in my world.\u201d
\n
\u201cEverything will work out fine. \u201c<\/p>\n

Ask for spiritual support to get over doubts. <\/span>That\u2019s how I deal with the real nerve wracking situations. Listen for the words you use. Are you hoping or knowing? The more you see it working, the stronger your KNOWING becomes. I KNOW you can all manifest a lot more good stuff than you currently do. When you put your own focus on KNOWING, you\u2019ll begin to reap more.<\/p>\n

See all the Law of Attraction in Action Series.<\/span><\/a>.<\/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\/40","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=40"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
