The movie “The Secret” made popular the ‘law of attraction’. The movie focused on the power of our thoughts and how they impact our lives. This is not a new concept. Throughout history, successful people understood the power of attracting what they wanted into their lives.

Not everyone believes in the power of the ‘law of attraction.’ Are you a believer or are you skeptical about the ‘law of attraction’ because you feel it’s not realistic? Reality is akin to perception. Perception is a choice, not a fact. How do I know that? Look around – does everyone think alike? I don’t think so. If perception was a fact, then all of us would share the same views.

For this moment, can you be open to the belief that our thoughts create our reality? If we decide to change our thoughts directing them towards good and abundance, we will attract more of that into our lives. You can return to your original beliefs, but read below to see if any of the words attract you to creating new thoughts around yourself.

Here are ways you can bring the ‘law of attraction’ into your life:

==>Business

Serendipity, coincidence, fate, the advantages of being in the right place at the right time are all expressions of what is generally known as the laws of attraction. You acquire whatever you concentrate your energy, thoughts and feelings on, positive and negative alike. Your thoughts act as a self-fulfilling prophecy, requesting to the universe what you desire most. If you focus your attention on the good that will come from your actions, you will experience an increase in your productivity. Use this positive energy in all of your work efforts.

==>Challenging Situations

This is a time when the ‘law of attraction’ can help you out. You have to emit positive vibrations, which will help you to help yourself. The thoughts and the feelings that you generate will move the universe and help you out.

Try to concentrate on your needs. Practice your positive affirmations. Clearly state them in your mind. Then, try to concentrate on the feelings you have and imagine how you will feel if you actually attain these great things.

==>Parenting

All parents know how stressful parenting can be. It involves a lot of responsibilities. As a parent, you want to protect your children from harm as well as ensure that they grow up to be caring and responsible young adults.

The ‘law of attraction’ can help your children stay safe and attain a happy life. You need to focus on things you want for your children, rather than thinking about what you DON’T want for them. Instead of hoping your child is not in a car crash, fails school or is hurt by someone, concentrate on what you want for your child. Whenever your anxiety starts to surface, visualize how your child would feel with loving thoughts coming his or her way. A child would bloom under such loving light.

==>Weight

Negative views of our bodies decrease our well-being. Question yourself around your thoughts. Do you think it is difficult to lose weight? Does your definition of fitness include depriving yourself of good food or keeping yourself hungry? Are you bogged down by your past inability to lose weight? Does exercising seem like an awful job to you? Are you intending to lose a lot of weight as quickly as possible or are you willing to be patient and make the sort of long-term changes that will keep those extra pounds away for good?
