\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/span>This is post 55 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 the posts in this series<\/a> to see how.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best lessons I learned about the Law of Attraction<\/a> is to always make sure I frame what a want using positive words. It makes a BIG difference in what you attract. The Universe picks up on our thoughts\u2014literally. It doesn\u2019t interpret what we want or make judgments about what we say. It hears the words, which is why there\u2019s a big emphasis in Law of Attraction teachings about watching your thoughts and what you say you want.
\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What you think can be what you get\u2014literally.<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s obvious that if you feel down and say, \u201cWoe is me\u201d that woe will be you. \u201cEverything goes wrong for me\u201d makes more things go wrong. I understood that and watched those thoughts. Just as getting into a habit of doing that can take a while, the more you become aware of what you think and say, the more you\u2019ll recognize how you sabotage yourself without meaning to by using negative words.
\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned that it\u2019s critical to use positive words for EVERYTHING<\/span> you put out as a desire or expectation. The Universe will pick up on a negative in what you think is a positive statement. Even if you mean it in a positive way, the Universe won\u2019t stop to interpret it. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cMy back no longer hurts<\/span>.\u201d Your hurting back will come back to you! Instead, say, \u201cMy back feels great.\u201d That attract your back to feel great.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cI won\u2019t date any more toxic people!<\/span>\u201d Sounds good but sends \u201ctoxic people\u201d out and back to you. \u201cI\u2019ll only date healthy people\u201d gives you a better chance of breaking romantic patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cI am getting out of debt!<\/span>\u201d In or out, you send debt out as what you attract. It\u2019s more fruitful to say, \u201cI\u2019m becoming financially solvent.\u201d That helps you get out of debt.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cMy next sales won\u2019t fall though anymore like they\u2019ve been doing!<\/span>\u201d Oh yes they will if you say it that way! Instead, try, \u201cI only attract sales that go through.\u201d Then allow yourself to be guided to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as easy to do as it sounds. It\u2019s so normal so say what you don\u2019t want anymore instead of using positive words. You must be really vigilant of what you say until you get the hang of it, like riding a bike. You fall a few times, then shakily get it and then it becomes more automatic. I\u2019d affirm something and later realized the words I used would attract negatives. That made me a bit more conscious for the next time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The more conscious I got, the faster I caught myself until I got into the habit of using appropriate words. <\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As my manifesting improved with my choice of words, I had more motivation to choose them carefully. Think of it as a game\u2014the game of manifesting! The rules are only positive words. The goals are to make sure you find good ones to replace negatives. The prize? Manifesting what you want! <\/span><\/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\/70","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=70"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
