This is post 116 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 all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series<\/a> to see how.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I find it hard to get myself moving. I say affirmations and talk to God. But, at those times, my energy level is usually low, so what I do is usually a tepid attempt to get myself going forward. It can be hard to get out of a funk, or overcome tiredness or fear. Even when you’re as spiritual as I am, life can weigh your spirit down and make you forget to use your power.<\/p>\n

It takes a strong move to get you back on track.<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve been tired lately and it’s been hard to keep up with everything I have on my plate. I began to feel out of control about manifesting. I read spiritual material and knew what I had to do but couldn’t get started. It made me feel down. Every day I’d put off doing spiritual work. Being tired can overshadow your good sense and your motivation to overcome it. But I had to do something! And I did. <\/p>\n

I stood up, took a deep breath, and declared out loud, “My mojo is back and I’m attracting what I need to move forward!”<\/b><\/p>\n

It kind of stunned me. And, it woke me up. It was my choice to succumb to being tired or take control and change my situation. Making a loud declaration helped me to do that. I went to a mirror and declared it again while looking myself in the eye. By putting all the emotion I felt from the frustration and being held back by my exhaustion into my declaration, it went out loud and clear.<\/p>\n

Making a loud declaration of your intentions is the best way to connect to the power of the Law of Attraction.<\/b><\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter what you want. Whether you want a better job, more money, a healthy romantic partner, a great living space, better health, etc., take some deep breaths (when you’re alone!) and shout it to the Universe in a clear, firm, strong declaration. Doing so got me going. I continued to declare, “My mojo is back!” All day long. The more I said it, the more I felt my energy returning. I also declared that I was sleeping well, every single night. The more I said that, the better my sleep. That helped alleviate my tiredness. <\/p>\n

Declarations help build the momentum to create emotions needed to manifest.<\/b><\/p>\n

Affirmations work well but when you’re feeling stuck, make a bigger, louder, stronger declaration of what you want in the present tense, as if you already have it, because you do if you believe you do. So, when you really want to call upon the power of the Law of Attraction to work in your favor, don’t just talk about what you want to people, or dream about it, or do affirms without any energy behind them. Instead, make a strong declaration of what you want as if you already have it. Keep it up until you believe it.  <\/p>\n

When you do, the Law of Attraction will work in your favor to bring it on!<\/b><\/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\/465","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=465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
