You CAN use your power to attract all that you need. I do it every day! Read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat.com\/2009\/01\/law-of-attraction-in-action-series.html\">the posts in this series<\/a> to see how.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"><br \/>\n<br \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">My birthday is this Saturday, September 19<sup>th<\/sup>. I\u2019m looking forward to it with the joy of a little kid! Yet I hear over and over, people talking about their birthdays as one step closer to the end of their lives. They avoid telling their ages, even in their twenties. And they EXPECT to begin to get physical ailments as they approach their 40\u2019s and beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Hello! That screams to the <span style=\"color:black\">Law of Attraction to make their aging process unpleasant. It usually works!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">Each birthday is NOT a notch in your death sentence! It\u2019s an opportunity to celebrate another glorious year on this earth. That\u2019s what I do. My message to the Universe is that I intend to make the most of every day that I\u2019m here. And my life keeps getting better. I attract better!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">Getting old isn\u2019t just in your head. Our bodies change. But <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">you can adapt to the changes and find ways to keep up a positive attitude.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">I admit, I get tired more easily these days. I hear it from others too. But creating a \u201cwoe is me\u201d kind of message about getting more tired or your body aching a bit more as you get older and do activities attract more woe to you! The Law of Attraction brings you what expect. If you expect woe, you\u2019ll get it! If you accept the changes with joy, knowing that the rest of your life is good, you\u2019ll enjoy life a lot more.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">Find ways around some of the glitches of getting older by taking better care of yourself, and you can offset it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">I\u2019m still running several times a week. People even younger than me say they&#8217;re sure they can\u2019t do that anymore since they\u2019re getting older and their knees will give them problems. Bah! When I began to run 4 years ago, I also began to take Glucosamine with Chondroitin and MSM. I knew it helps joints build more cartilage. When my mom (may she rest in peace) had a lot of pain during her power walks, her doc insisted she needed both knees replaced. I got her on the supplement and a few months later she was power walking pain free. Her doc was shocked that she no longer needed surgery.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">So I take a smaller dose to protect my healthy knees, knowing I\u2019m getting older and running can hurt my joints. And I take smaller (but more) strides than most runners, keeping my feet low to the ground to minimize impact. People laugh at me for all the supplements I take each day and the acupuncture I get regularly. But heck, I look much younger than my years and still do things that people much younger can\u2019t keep up with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Making some small conscious changes to protect your body, including your skin and hair, tells the Law of Attraction you intend to stay healthy as you age, and look better!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"><br \/>\n<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">Friends I\u2019ve known for years won\u2019t tell me their ages, even though I know they\u2019re younger than me and they know mine. Years ago I interviewed a famous singer, who was no more than 40 and told me she couldn\u2019t get the number out of her mouth. It was too painful. <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">What does that tell the Law of Attraction?\u2014that aging is painful!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><span>  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">I acknowledge that there\u2019s a lot of ageism out there, especially for women. I\u2019ve been asked my age too many times before going on a TV show. It\u2019s discriminatory and insulting! But that\u2019s the way life is. I admit\u2014I\u2019ve lied to producers to get on the show and it\u2019s never an issue after that. They call me back on. But age could get in my way of getting my foot into the youth conscious door.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">Nonetheless, your age can\u2019t be changed so you might as well make the best of your life instead of putting a damper on it by telling the Universe your age hurts you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<br \/><span style=\"color:black\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">Find ways around any health issues that may come and don\u2019t let them stop or depress you. Succumbing to fear of aging keeps you from living every day you have to the fullest. Happiness at any age is VERY possible. It\u2019s up to you. Tell the Universe that aging makes you less of a worthy person or less healthy or less of anything and you\u2019ll reap what you sow. Why ruin your joy! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"><br \/>\n<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Or, join me in celebrating every year of your life, without letting age get in your way. It\u2019s YOUR choice how you perceive it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"><br \/>\n<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">I\u2019ll begin my birthday celebration on Friday night and then celebrate all day on Saturday. Maybe Sunday too! But honestly, I try to celebrate every day as a new one. Saturday is the first day in the next year of my wonderful life. Not the beginning of another year closer to the end. It\u2019s so much nicer to live in joy than fear or depression that you bring on yourself by expecting negatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\"><br \/>\n<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color:black\">I\u2019m the same person no matter what my age. <b>Universe\u2014I\u2019m ready for the next great year of my life!

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 &amp; 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\/77","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=77"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
