\"LOAlogoBLOG\"<\/a>This is post 280 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

When you\u2019re going through a problem it\u2019s easy to get worked up in a negative direction. Your mind can begin to conjure up some \u201cwhat ifs?\u201d that could make it worse. For example, Lila\u2019s computer began to crash often and make funny noises. She was working on an important work project. Her mind began to imagine a worst-case scenario path.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019ll probably need a new computer.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0My project will be lost. I\u2019ll have to start all over again.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I won\u2019t get it done on time.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0My boss will fire me for it.<\/p>\n

When she said all of this to me she was attracting these fears into her reality. Her project wasn\u2019t getting done because the computer made errors. Her boss was threatening her.\u00a0 When she calmed down I suggested she do positive affirmations about it all working out. Once she did I helped her get off that worst-case scenario path. She backed up her project and hired a good tech person who found a small problem in her computer. He fixed it fast and Lily was able to finish up her project. When she told her boss why she was delayed, he understood and cut her slack.<\/p>\n

Getting worked up over assuming the worst outcomes from something that goes wrong can attract what you worry about. Your emotions that comeas you get worked up create the vibration to attract them. If you find yourself in that position, take a few deep breaths and say some positive affirmations like:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Everything will work out fine.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0This too shall pass.
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I trust that a good outcome is coming.<\/p>\n

Drown out the negative concerns with them. Then find a rational solution, like Lily did with her computer. Just because your car is making a funny noise and stalling , it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll have to drain your bank account to buy a new car. A good mechanic can fix it.Just because you lost a client doesn\u2019t mea you\u00a0 may not have a job soon. If you do a good job normally, that should keep you employed. Panicking attracts the things you\u2019re scared of. Stay away from thoughts of the worst that can happen. Do what you can to get onto a positive path of knowing that everything will work out fine so you can attract a good solution.<\/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\/5427","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=5427"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5428,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5427\/revisions\/5428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
