Often we\u2019re so fixated on the future that we don\u2019t think enough about the blessings we have now. And people tend to think in terms of what they don’t want any more–the negatives in their lives. But to use the Law of Attraction effectively, it’s critical to look for what you can appreciate now in your life. It makes sense. Good vibes attract good stuff. Negative vibes attract negative stuff. So the more good vibes you put out, the better your chance of manifesting what you want.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to ignore the blessings you have now if you\u2019re focused on what you want. That leads to the \u201cdon\u2019t want\u201d thoughts.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t want to live hand to mouth anymore.\u201d When you make this kind of statement, the Universe hears living hand to mouth and brings you more of that.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI hate my job!\u201d The strong emotion in this will attract more things for you to hate and keep you in your current job.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI\u2019m tired of being fat!\u201d Guess what this will help you to have more of?
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI\u2019m so lonely being single. I\u2019m dying for someone to complete me.\u201d You\u2019re saying that you\u2019re desperate for a partner and your emotion will be negative.<\/p>\n

Since you want to create a positive vibration, these kinds of thoughts keep you from having one. Saying them makes you feel bad. If you want to get out of those situations, look around and find things in your life that you appreciate now. You may not have much money but can consciously appreciate that you have your health. You many not like your job but can consciously appreciate that you\u2019ve learned more there and it\u2019s paying your bills right now. You may want romance but can consciously appreciate your good friends. We all have things to appreciate when we look!<\/p>\n

When you focus on what you appreciate in your life, your vibration goes up. As you count your blessings, think about what you want to manifest in positive terms.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI intend to find a more lucrative path to earning a lot more money.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI intend to find a new job that satisfies me.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI intend to get my body into healthier shape.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI intend to attract a healthy partner.<\/p>\n

Find your blessings and appreciate them instead of dwelling on what you don\u2019t have. It\u2019s the best way to get the Law of Attraction in your corner for attracting what you want.<\/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\/4096","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=4096"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4113,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4096\/revisions\/4113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
