Law of Attraction: Visualize Yourself Winning

I was at a seafood festival yesterday. Out of the four aisles of stands, one aisle was especially set up for brands to market their products. Geico had a stand set up and was giving typical event marketing prizes such as caps, t-shirts, mugs, and bags. They had this game board set up like Plinko on the Price Is Right. The contestant drops a ball, the ball hits a few pegs during the five foot drop, and then ends up at the bottom in one of five slots. There were five slots with labels: cap, mug, t-shirt, bag, and mystery prize. There were about seven contestants in front of me winning caps, t-shirts, and mugs. I was curious to know what the mystery prize was because no one was winning it. I began to visualize myself winning the mystery prize. I imagined the ball hitting pegs as it descended down the five foot board and then eventually landing on the mystery prize slot. When my turn came up, guess which prize I won. . .

This Law of Attraction Stuff Really Does Work, Seriously!

I received a call yesterday from my younger sister Amanda who is in her last year at Boston University. The first thing she said was, “Anna, Anna, OMG, this Law of Attraction stuff really does work, seriously!” My sister is the least positive person in our family and when she is in the room, sometimes you can feel the tension when she is not having a “good day,” which in the past, used to be quite often. Three months ago, she was visiting me one weekend and I said to her, “YOU MUST watch The Secret before you go back to Boston.” Ever since Amanda was introduced to the Law of Attraction, I have noticed a change.

Anyway, Amanda was telling me that she was going to meet up with her friend Melissa for coffee at Starbucks. Melissa thought they were going to meet up there but my sister thought that Melissa was going to pick her up at her apartment in Allston, which is just outside of Boston. Melissa, who doesn’t like to drive in Boston and Allston, became annoyed and when Melissa finally got to Amanda’s apartment to pick her up, Melissa said, “I hate driving around in Allston because people are careless and the last time I was here, someone bumped my car.” Literally after she said that, someone bumped her car. The driver, this Asian woman in her late 20’s, drove by the left side of Melissa’s car, waved with a smile, and then sped off. Melissa became angrier. Then, they were heading back towards Boston and Melissa said, “I hate it here, there is always a lot of traffic.” You know, I’ve been to Allston quite a few times and traffic is not so bad. However, Amanda told me that day that there was a lot of traffic and it was perhaps because Melissa was thinking those thoughts.

Amanda and Melissa decided not to go to Starbucks and instead eat out in downtown Boston. Amanda suggested to head down this tiny one way street by the Boston Commons to see if they could find parking. Melissa said, “There is never parking there, why are we evening bothering?” Amanda said, “You never know, let’s try anyway.” Amanda then started to think positive thoughts and started to create visions in her head of a free parking spot. When they went down the tiny one way street, they found a parking spot.

Finding the Perfect Job Using the Law of Attraction: Ask (PART 3)

Ask and you shall receive. Seriously, this works! I was looking for a part time job, preferably working from home in online marketing. I knew exactly what I wanted and I put it out there for the Universe to grant my wish. Two weeks later I had a part time job working from home in the online marketing field.

Think of yourself as Aladdin and the Universe as the Genie that grants unlimited wishes. Take you desires and put them out there. Tell the Universe exactly what YOU want in your perfect job.

Look yourself in the mirror and say

I want _________________.

I deserve ______________.

The perfect job for me is _______________ because ________________.

Write down a description of your perfect job.

Meditate on you perfect job.


Remember, be specific.

The Universe will begin working for you.

Law of Attraction: Make the Best of Being Stuck in Traffic

Have you ever been stuck in traffic? I think most us have been stuck in traffic at least about 100 times. ;) How do you feel when you are stuck in traffic? Do you feel angry, agitated, and anxious? Common thoughts that might run through your head are, "oh no, I'm going to be late for work, or "why is the lane to my left and to my right moving faster than my lane?" These negative thoughts create negative energy and the law of attraction states whatever it is you are thinking and feeling, you will attract more of it. While you sit there in traffic you are creating negative thoughts which set the tone for your day. Chances are the car behind you, in front of you, to your left, and to your right are thinking the same thoughts.

Well, I'm here you tell you that being stuck in traffic is not so bad. If you commute to and from work by yourself, these moments are probably the only time you have to yourself. Think about it, when you are home, your family is there and needs your attention. While you are at work, you have your co-workers and boss to deal with. Enjoy being stuck in traffic because that is your "me" time. Say, "I am grateful for this me time" the next time you find yourself in traffic.

One suggestion is take this time to meditate and reflect. NO, I don't mean shut your eyes and get into a car accident. You don't have to have your eyes closed and sitting Indian Style to meditate. Purchase one of those meditation cds and pop into your car's cd player to relax you.

Law of Attraction: Self Respect and Women

I started reading Suze Orman's book "Women and Finance". She brings up some important issues about women as employees and business owners. One of the questions she brings up is "why is it that time and time again women get paid less that their male counterparts?" Suze suggests that one reason this happens is because women do not negotiate. When it's time for the annual review, men tend to go to the meeting with their game face on. Men compare the annual review to a football or basketball game. Women, on the other hand, compare the annual review to a dentst visit. Basically, men find this meeting exciting while women find it painful. Men tend to negotiate their pay raise while women accept whatever they receive. The problem here is that women could potentially be missing out on a million dollars worth of life time salary if only they would negotiate. It's a two way street. There are the abusers and the abused. If women allow themselves to be abused, then they will be. Women need to stand up and realize what their self worth is. They need to be confident in their abilities and the value they provide for whatever company they work for. Women deserve to be paid right for their efforts.

I think the worst situation occurs when women who own their own businesses charge less or accept less than fair market value for their work. Ultimately these women are the ones saying that their own value and services do not compare to those of others. This is just wrong. Charge whatever you know you are worth and stick with it. For instance, if you are a consultant charging $80 and hour. Stick to that. Don't go less. Your time is valuable.

I do some freelance online maketing work and I worked on a small project that took me eight hours to complete. The client thought it only took three hours to complete.
I've done some freelance work for some time now and this is the first time this has happened to me where I had to negotiate the actual time it took to complete something. I point blank straight out asked the client, "do you honestly think it took me three hours to complete all this work?" I asked the client this question three times in the course of a week and the client could not answer me with a simple yes or no. What does this client expect? Pro bono work? I told the client my time is valuable and that I demand respect from everyone I work with. I took time out of other projects to work on this and I expect to be paid for my time. Do not take this type of abuse. Women, know your self worth. Stand up for yourselves and don't take any abuse. When you do stand up for yourself, you will feel liberated. It feels great!

Law of Attraction- I want to be healthy ALL the time

I haven't been posting lately because I caught a bad case of the flu. I was telling someone the other day how I get sick once a year, usually around this time. He told that he use to expect to get sick once a year as well and that one year he just stopped expecting to get sick and what do you think happened? He stopped getting sick. So, I'm going to stop expecting to get sick once a year and expect to be healthy ALL the time. Let's see what happens. :)

NY GIANTS & The Law Of Attraction: “Expect” to Win!

The New York Giants are the best team this year because they won when it mattered the most! For the most part, the only people who thought the New York Giants would win were the NY Giants themselves and all their fans. Their season started slow, losing their first two games and their head coach Tom Coughlin was on the verge of getting fired for poor performance. How did the New York Giants end up winning the Super Bowl against the favorite 18-0 New England Patriots??? Part of it has to do with the fact that the New York Giants EXPECTED to win. Practically all the sports analyst favored the New England Patriots but that didn't stop the New York Giants from believing in themselves and expecting to win.

GO GIANTS! I'm proud of you!

The Law of Attraction- Gratitude… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 6)

Be thankful for what you have NOW. Whenever you are in a thankful state of mind, positive energy flows throughout your body. Attract positive energy and more positive energy will come your way; that is the Law of Attraction.

Gratitude in the Morning:

It’s important to show gratitude in the morning right after you wake up to start the positive energy flow. Tell the Universe that you are starting your morning in a positive mood and you want your whole day to be like this.

Gratitude in the Night:

It’s important to show gratitude before you sleep so that your dreams will also be filled with positive energy.

Gratitude Anytime:

Show gratitude anytime. When you are commuting to work and there is traffic. Show gratitude. When you are stuck in a long line at the grocery store, show gratitude. Showing gratitude will change your mood.

When things are not going as the way I want them to, I pause for a moment and begin to show gratitude.

These are a few things that I am grateful for:

Loved Ones
Each day I live
Endless opportunities in life
Higher level of awareness
My connection to the God (Universe)

What are you grateful for?

The Law of Attraction- Believe… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 4)

Ok, so now you have a good idea of what you want. What’s the next step? For the Law of Attraction to work, in order to get exactly what you want in life, you have to Believe that whatever you ask for will happen. Believe that it will happen no matter what. It might happen tomorrow or it might happen next month. Just have faith that the Universe is working its magic and you will receive whatever it is you desire as long as you believe.

If it’s a larger house you desire, then believe that you will own a larger house. In fact, picture yourself in that house NOW. Imagine yourself cooking in the gourmet kitchen, swimming in the underground pool, and relaxing in the huge family room. Experience all the emotions of living in your large house NOW.

“You become what you believe”.

Here is an excerpt from Oprah’s commencement address to Wellesley Students back in ’97.

Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe. When I was little girl, Mississippi, growing up on the farm, only Buckwheat as a role model, watching my grandmother boil clothes in a big, iron pot through the screen door, because we didn't have a washing machine and made everything we had. I watched her and realized somehow inside myself, in the spirit of myself, that although this was segregated Mississippi and I was "colored" and female, that my life could be bigger, greater than what I saw. I remember being four or five years old, I certainly couldn't articulate it, but it was a feeling and a feeling that I allowed myself to follow. I allowed myself to follow it because if you were to ask me what is the secret to my success, it is because I understand that there is a power greater than myself, that rules my life and in life if you can be still long enough in all of your endeavors, the good times, the hard times, to connect yourself to the source, I call it God, you can call it whatever you want to, the force, nature, Allah, the power. If you can connect yourself to the source and allow the energy that is your personality, your life force to be connected to the greater force, anything is possible for you. I am proof of that. I think that my life, the fact that I was born where I was born, and the time that I was and have been able to do what I have done speaks to the possibility. Not that I am special, but that it could be done. Hold the highest, grandest vision for yourself. Read the Whole Commencement Address Here.

A little success

If you can't bring yourself to be positive about the big things, then be positive about the little things. That's easy enough to do, and it can make a surprisingly significant difference.

You're not going to solve the world's major problems before bedtime. And yet, you can surely make a little positive progress in your own way, and that can be a big help.

The little annoyances, distractions, challenges and difficulties in your world may seem minor when viewed separately. However, they can all add up to create a major negative drag on your life.

You can easily choose to rid yourself of those little negative influences, one by one. Before long, the positive effect will be dramatic.

If you spend the next few minutes doing nothing except worrying about your problems, you'll just end up even more anxious and worried. If, instead, you spend that same five minutes to overcome a relatively minor problem, you'll end up feeling a little more empowered and in control of your own destiny.

A little bit of success will motivate and inspire you, like nothing else can, to create a little more success, again and again. Soon, you'll discover that those little successes are adding up to a life of big and meaningful achievement.

-- Ralph Marston

The Law of Attraction- Ask and You Shall Receive… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 3)

"Ask and you shall receive." Think of yourself as Aladdin and the Universe as the Genie that grants unlimited wishes. Take your desires and put them out there. Tell the Universe exactly what YOU want.

Here are a few of mine:

Universe, since I have tons of experience on the internet and online media, I want my business to be internet related. I want to create websites and make money off of them.

Universe, I am want to learn something new every day either whether it be internet related or personal growth related by reading the newspaper, watching the news, or learning from my peers.

Universe, I will be open and honest with the current guy I am dating. I will enjoy every moment we spend with each other.

Universe, I want to be 20 pounds lighter because I will be excercising 3x a week and eating healthy.

Universe, I want to go on a tropical vacation this year which means I need to save money and lose a few pounds!

The Law of Attraction- Decision… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 2)

The more detail you have with each desire, the better. The Universe will know exactly what you want because you have decided exactly what you want. For instance, if you say to the Universe you want a job, don’t be upset if you end up with just a job. However, if you say, “Universe, I want my dream job to turn into reality. It will be at most a 15 minute commute from where I live. The job will be 9AM-5PM and at exactly 5PM I get to go home not like my current job. I will enjoy working with my co-workers. There is room for growth at this job…” You will be surprised at the results.

Try to create more details for your desires. The more detail your vision has, the better.

Here are a few of mine:

Career:

Desire: I want to be CEO of my own company that makes billions every year.
Decision: Since I have tons of experience on the internet and online media, I want my business to be internet related. I want to create websites and make money off of them. I want to be able to produce at least six figure income from my websites.

Personal:

Desire: I want to learn something new every day.
Decision: I am going to learn something new every day either whether it be internet related or something about personal growth.


Relationships:

Desire: I want to be in a happy & healthy relationship with a smart, intelligent, and caring guy.
Decision: I will be open and honest with the current guy I am dating. I will enjoy every moment we spend with each other.

Health:

Desire: I want to be 20 pounds lighter
Decision: I want to be 20 pounds lighter so I can walk around the beach in a bikini.

Etc:

Desire: I want to go on a tropical vacation this year.
Decision: I want to go on a tropical vacation this in the Caribbean Islands so I can show off my new body.


Tell the Universe exactly what you want!

The Law of Attraction- Desire… How To Get Exactly What You Want In Life (PART 1)

Look up desire in the dictionary and it will say “an expressed wish; request”. What is it that you request in your life? Tell the Universe. Better yet, write them down. Make lists.
Categorize them: Career, Personal, Relationships, Health, etc.

Here are a few of mine:

Career:

I want to be CEO of my own company that makes billions every year.

Personal:

I wan to learn something new every day.

Relationships:

I want to be in a happy & healthy relationship with a smart, intelligent, and caring guy.

Health:

I want to be 20 pounds lighter

Etc:

I want to go on a tropical vacation this year.

Now after you write down your desires, state them out loud!

Now, print out your desires on a piece of paper. Post them where you can see them on a daily basis!

The first step is knowing what you WANT. Many people out there feel lost and don’t know what exactly it is they are looking for or want in life. These people need to figure out what makes them happy, what motivates them to live life to the fullest. Envision yourself living the life you desire.

What Is the Law of Attraction? A Guide to Receiving Everything you Want In Life

The law of attraction is a theory that states “like attracts like”. Our thoughts create emotions that have vibrations that attract similar vibrations. So, we draw to us whatever we want, think, or feel. The universe will provide to us whatever we focus on, whether it is good or bad.


Desire: What is it you want in life? You need to create a vision of whatever it is you desire? Is it a new job? Is it a new house? A better relationship with your significant other?

Decision: Decide EXACTLY what you want. Be as specific as you can with your desires. Is it a job that brings in six figures? Create a vision of yourself going to a job every day that brings you that kind of money. Is it a five bedroom house, with a two car garage, and an in ground swimming pool? Well imagine yourself living in that type of house. Better yet, go to open houses! Walk around your dream house as if you already live in it. Do you want a better relationship with your significant other? Well, create a vision where you are always happy with your loved one.

Ask: Think of yourself as Aladdin and the Universe as your genie. Ask the universe to give you exactly what you want and you will receive it. Now we all know the story of Aladdin. He is granted three wishes. Here’s the catch, we are granted UNLIMITED wishes. Ask away and you will receive.

Believe: You need to have faith that whatever you ask for you will receive. You might receive whatever you are asking for today, next week, or next year. Just believe that the Universe is working in your favor and you will eventually receive whatever you have asked for.

Work: Ok, you have the vision of exactly what you want, you’ve asked the Universe for “it”, and you believe with all your heart that “it” will become a reality. Now, you have to work for it. For instance, say you have a vision of yourself 10 pounds lighter. Well, you need to take positive action towards that goal. Will eating cake and French fries help you achieve that goal? No. Will going to the gym help you and speed up the process of losing weight? Yes. Take small steps to achieve your goal and you will eventually reach it.

Gratitude: Always be thankful for what you have. Always be thankful to God [or the universe]. For instance, say you want a better job because your current job has long hours and low pay. First, you need to be grateful for whatever you have NOW. Thank God that you HAVE a job. How many people don’t have jobs? Thank God that you have a job that pays your bills and provides food on the table. Be thankful for whatever you have NOW, whether it is good or bad because every instance of your life is merely an experience. Some experiences you will want to repeat over and over again and other you will not.

My first real job was working for a Fortune 500 company with long hours and tons of stress. I would commute to work each day with chest pains and commute back home with stomach pain. The turnover at this job was ridiculous. At least 2 people would quit each week. After a year I could not take it anymore and resigned. I truly hated my experience there. In hindsight, it was probably one of the best learning experiences of my life and a year full of personal growth. From that experience, I knew what type of company I wanted to work for after working for a type of company I learned I would never want to work for again. From that experience, I learned how to treat co-workers with respect after learning how I would never want to be treated in a work environment ever again in my life. I took a year long experience, examined it, and learned from it. I’m thankful for having the opportunity to work there.

Expect: You’ll be surprised as to how difficult it is for people to live in a happy state of expectancy. They always have negative thoughts or live in fear. What happens are those negative thoughts manifest and living in fear prevents them from accomplishing their goals. If this sounds like you, it’s important to change this attitude. You must switch off the negativity and turn on the positive energy. This is your life. IMAGINE the best life you can live. Always EXPECT the best and the best will be given to you.
