\"\"<\/a>This is post 227 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

It\u2019s common to look to the future with hope for happiness and for getting what you want. But often those desires are accompanied by complaints and dissatisfaction with what you have or what\u2019s going on now. When your thoughts and attitude say that you\u2019re waiting to be happy, waiting for the good stuff to come, and not finding the good in today and what you have, it sends a negative vibe to the Law of Attraction.<\/p>\n

When you accept where you are and what you have today, and make peace with stuff you may not like, it\u2019s much easier to improve it. Today will affect what happens to you in the future\u2014even the very near future like tomorrow. Being unhappy today keeps you negative tomorrow. Increasing your current vibration by making peace with your life as it is right now raises your vibration so life can get better faster.<\/p>\n

I know that things in life don\u2019t always go well. I have my down moments too. But I\u2019ve learned that I can wallow in my dissatisfaction or disappointment or frustration or anger or other negative emotions and complain about it all to everyone. That makes me feel lousy. Or, I can allow myself a few minutes to process those emotions, maybe cry, and then I do what I can to forgive whoever was involved or to affirm something like:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0This too shall pass.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cEverything will work out fine.”
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cBetter things are coming.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI can get past this with joy, unscathed.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI have many blessings so I\u2019ll be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

The last one is a great one because counting your blessings\u2014finding all the things you can be grateful for in your life\u2014can lift your spirits and help your vibration to be positive. Write down everything that\u2019s good about your life now\u2014everything! If you look, you\u2019ll find many more good things about your life than whatever is going on that you don\u2019t like. Look forward to the good things you want coming.<\/p>\n

Make peace with the current situation that\u2019s going on right now. The more good you identify that you already have, the faster you can release any resistance you have in order to allow the good stuff that\u2019s there for you to manifest. Stop thinking, \u201cWoe is me\u201d or thoughts about how miserable you are with your life now.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 “When will I attract more money? I hate not having enough for what I want.”
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI can’t get out of my rut.”
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI hate being alone. When will I meet the right romantic partner?\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI’ve been so tired. Will I ever have more energy?\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI don’t like my job and feel stuck here because I need to pay my bills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accept that this is temporary and open yourself up to the many goodies you have to power to attract. Love yourself enough to accept your life today so you can manifest 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\/4065","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=4065"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4065\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4112,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4065\/revisions\/4112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
