When I was a kid, I used to love the Rolling Stone’s song, Satisfaction<\/em>. I’d laugh and sing along with the words out loud. Back then I had no idea about the message I sent to the Universe. “I can’t get no satisfaction!” To this day I’m somewhere and the song comes on, I’ll sing along. But I’m more sensitive about saying it with too much emotion as the Law of Attraction doesn’t judge and decide what to support and what’s just playing around. I think the song resonates so much because so many people are really not satisfied with how their lives are going.<\/p>\n

And what does dissatisfaction attract? More dissatisfaction!<\/p>\n

If you’re not feeling satisfied with your life and what you have right now, depending on others won’t increase satisfaction. Or will buying more stuff. Dissatisfaction creates negative emotions, which creates negative thoughts that attract more dissatisfaction<\/strong>. I hear people saying things like:
\n?
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0“Things never go the way I want them to.”
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0“Why do other people always get more?”
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0“Why doesn’t my romantic partner live up to my expectations?”
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0“When will my life become happy?<\/p>\n

All of those thoughts keep you from being satisfied. Focus on being content with who you are, with your life. Find the things you have that are good and allow them to trigger happy feelings<\/strong>. Negative thoughts attract negative; joyous thoughts attract satisfaction. You don’t have to have perfection in your life to be satisfied. When I was a DoorMat I couldn’t imagine being satisfied since I felt so imperfect. As I began to love myself more, I realized that I don’t need perfection to be satisfied.<\/p>\n

I’m at peace with my life and feel happy, despite what I don’t have yet or wish I did. I accept me now, flaws and all and no longer play the “wouldn’t it be nice if…?” game. When you do, you often lose, because you focus on what you don’t have instead of what you do. I’d certainly enjoy being thinner and having more money and being much younger\u00a0 if the wish fairy could make it happen. But, I’m happy with who I am and what I have right now.<\/p>\n

When you find the joy in your life that’s there already, and appreciate it, you attract more things that will satisfy you.<\/p>\n

The more satisfaction you feel with your present circumstances, the more joy you’ll feel. The more joy you feel, the more satisfaction that will be attracted. The more satisfaction you attract, the more you’ll feel and the better your quality of life will be. And, the more satisfaction you’ll attract. As you allow yourself to feel satisfied with life as it is, the faster your contentment with life will grow<\/strong>. Focus on what does work instead of what doesn’t. That creates the emotion needed to attract more good stuff!<\/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\/550","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=550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1578,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550\/revisions\/1578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
