\"LOAlogoBLOG\"<\/a>This is post 248 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

I had a client who hadn\u2019t been happy for a long time. She couldn\u2019t find a job she loved, was frustrated about not having had a boyfriend in years, and her inability to lose weight. Whenever I made a suggestion she made an excuse for not being able to do it. She refused to try to use faith to help her because she had a bad experience with religion as a child. She tried eating healthy but didn\u2019t lose weight so why bother? Kim said she wanted to be happy but her behavior showed she preferred complaining to taking action\u2014except to try to run from her problems.<\/p>\n

Kim called one day and said that she decided to move to another city to get out of her rut by getting a fresh start. She\u2019d saved her money and would be able to survive until she found work. I suggested that she work on herself first. She insisted on moving and picked city that sounded good. Three months later she called to say she was back home. Her move didn\u2019t work out. She couldn\u2019t find work she enjoyed and didn\u2019t meet many people. It made her feel even more negative than before she left.<\/p>\n

When you relocate, all your baggage goes with you. Your negative vibrations stay with you and the Law of Attraction will pick up on it wherever you are and keep the same stuff coming to you. Kim decided to do temping until she figured out what to do. A few weeks later we had a session and she was excited. Someone told her that Minneapolis was a great place to live and she was thinking of moving there.<\/p>\n

Once again I suggested she straighten out her issues before relocating again but shortly after she was on her way north but that too didn\u2019t work out. She got depressed that she couldn\u2019t find happiness in either new city. I told her it was because she hadn\u2019t changed. She got angry and went on about how she went to a lot of trouble to make a change. I told her that wasn\u2019t change. She was running away from her issues but they went with her to the new cities.<\/p>\n

The change needed for happiness must come from inside of you, not from relocating, which is actually trying to run away from yourself and your inner turmoil. Wherever Kim moved she took her issues with her. She was unhappy with herself and that affected her other situations, including not being able to love herself. Her discontent stemmed from that and filtered out into all areas of her life. So no matter where she lived Kim still saw herself as unworthy of love and joy so she got none. She couldn\u2019t attract what she said she wanted because her vibration and attitude said she didn\u2019t deserve it.<\/p>\n

Change is good but you need to change the right things\u2014first those inside you. If you change your job before you change your vibration by making yourself content you won\u2019t be content at the new one either. If you don\u2019t love yourself you can move to another state and still find it hard to attract love. I told Kim she had to change from the inside out but I didn\u2019t hear from her again for a year. When she finally reached out she confessed she\u2019d moved 3 more times and was still unhappy. She was finally ready to work on herself with me.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t happy, moving won\u2019t change anything because your vibration and patterns of behavior and thinking go with you. The Law of Attraction doesn\u2019t try to interpret what you put out. It brings you what it gets from your emotions and inner beliefs. So before you try to relocate for a better life, make peace with yourself first. Build your self-love so you feel deserving of what you want. Clear the emotional blocks that keep you from getting what you want. Then you\u2019ll have a positive vibration to take with you when you move.<\/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\/4601","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=4601"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4631,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4601\/revisions\/4631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
