LOA Tip #8

So, I gave you a couple of weeks off, and what have you done? Have you been using the basic principals of the LOA, and if so what has happened?

If your words have changed, then your feelings should have changed as well which means your vibration or "vibe" has gone up, and now when matched you should be noticing you are receiving more of what you really want instead of what you don't want! Am I correct in thinking that's how it's going for you?

It would be nice to hear how things are going, and please feel free to leave a comment so I will know if this is helping you.

So, how about a tip? Have we talked about what happens when someone loves to give but doesn't love to receive? What's up with that? Doesn't everyone like to feel special now and then? I would think so. I sometimes think that the people I meet that tell me they love to give but don't like receiving are really saying they don't feel deserving of any gifts, or good fortune. I know I felt that way for a long time. I had to force myself to just let it be, and be thankful that someone was thinking of me. It was almost like feeling guilty for being given something for nothing.

When we are givers, we love to give but have difficulty receiving. When we refuse to receive, we are telling the Universe we don't want anything. That becomes confusing for the Universe to do it's job because matching your vibration IS it's job. How can it give you what you want if you refuse to take what it is trying to give you? What ultimately will happen is that it will stop trying to give you anything. Regardless of your desire, it will match your deepest vibe which is the one that says "I'm a giver, not receiver," and your dreams will remain that. Forever dreams.

When someone offers you something, smile and say thank you. That's the best thing you could do for both of you. Remember, when someone is giving from the heart, it is pure love, and what is more priceless than that? Nothing!

LOA Tip of the Week #7

What's your story?

Have you ever met someone for the first time, and it seems all they have to talk about is a woe is me story? I have met several of those individuals lately. Perhaps I need to be more specific when telling the universe what kind of people I want to meet, and maybe they are exactly the type of people I need to meet!

Being a LOA lifestyle coach brings those exact people into my bubble, because those are the people who need my help most. The problem arises when they don't want to let go of that story. They somehow have lost sight of a brighter today and tomorrow. They have convinced themselves that there is no better moment coming around the corner, regardless of what they think, say, or do. They are wrapped up in their story so tightly, that they don't realize they are receiving exactly what they are putting out.

Do you remember the basic rule of the Law of Attraction? What you put your time, energy, and focus on, is what you will receive! Hello, is anyone listening?

Let me remind you of a simple but important fact. Your life won't change if your story doesn't change. If you wake up every morning reciting your negative, woe is me, feel sorry for me, why me, how come this happened to me, I'm so good but now look where I'm at, I don't know why all these bad things keep happening, is this normal please tell me this isn't normal, my room is so dark I can't find the light switch, I must be a bad person because bad things keep happening, and on, and on, and on, then that's exactly what you will experience!

To change your story is to change your life! Wake up and first thing think of 3 to 10 things you are grateful for. It really isn't that hard, and make sure you think of different things don't keep repeating the same thing. I do this every day, and in all honesty I have an occasional day where I can't think of a single good thing to be grateful for. That's when I remind myself that I have the gift of vision, speech, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and all my extremities. I get to sleep in a bed, not on the street or in a car, and I have slept in my car! Yes, I have been homeless, so I can relate to that situation but I never lost hope, and I never thought it would be like that forever.

Be grateful for all the little things, because there is always a worse situation and since you are in control start doing some positive talk about your life and life situation. There is nothing we can't overcome. It's all in our hands and the power of our belief. You're not the overworked server you are abundant because you are receiving more tips so there is financial abundance. You're not the suffering person living in someone else's home, you are the blessed person with a bed to sleep in and should show gratitude to those who are helping you and for sure not be complaining about anything! You're not the failing business owner you are a successful business owner who is filling the needs and desires of others. You are not a loser, regardless of your past..past.. as in gone, unchangeable, let it go! You are the beautiful person everyone loves to be around. You are kind, and more than giving. You are always looking for ways to help others.

Change your story, and it will change your life!

LOA Tip of the Week #6

Allowing

Allowing. Are you allowing the Universe to bring you those things which you are asking for? Stop right here and take a moment to really think about it!

If you're not sure whether you are allowing or not, think about this. How many times have you turned something away because it wasn't exactly the way you want it to be? How many times have you decided in the last minute that you didn't want something you actually asked for and was given, because even though it was a close match to your request, you've decided you could do it better on your own or without it?

Sound confusing? It sure is, especially to the universe. When we desire something, and the universe gives it to us, but then we push it away because it isn't perfect, we confuse the universe. When we confuse the universe, we end up receiving nothing. Let me give you a couple of examples.

Chester earns a moderate income, he is single, and has a pretty good job. It pays the bills, allows him to occasionally buy a new pair of work pants or dress shirt, and even pays for a movie once a month. However, Chester has to take public transportation to work because he hasn't been able to save enough money to purchase the car of his dreams, and making a car payment isn't something he can afford to do. Chester loves his job, and is very happy with the company, so changing jobs isn't on his "to do" list. He decides to use the Law of Attraction to get himself into a car.

I want a car, I want a car, if only I had a car, he says to himself. He sees himself driving to work and no longer waiting at the bus stop. He can feel himself in a car, playing his radio, hands on the steering wheel, and looking out the windshield. I love my new car, he says, over and over again. One day, while sitting at his desk, his work partner says, "Hey Chester, I know you have been talking about getting a car. My grandmother isn't able to drive anymore, and would like to sell her car." Chester becomes excited at the thought, and says, "Yes, I would love to have a car, what kind of car is it?" "It's a 1984 Buick Century, and it's in great condition on the inside. The upholstery is really nice, the radio, heater and air conditioner work. However, the outside of the car does have a little rust here and there above the tires and such. It runs great!" his coworker says, "In fact, I have it here in the parking lot if you want to take a look, and she is only asking  $800."

Chester has just a little more than that amount in his savings so he decides to go take a look. The car is in very good condition on the inside, and the outside does have a little rust, but the body is in great shape without a dent of any kind. Now, Chester could have a car, but his ego steps in and says, "Yikes! that is an old car, and do you really want to be seen in an old car? You want that fancy new car, don't you? What if you meet a girl, would you really want to drive her around in that car? That's the kind of car your grandma would be driving, not you!" and so Chester thanks his coworker for thinking of him, but declines the offer. Chester has just confused the universe.

Bernadette loves her husband so much, but she doesn't love the fact that he doesn't help out around the house. "It doesn't matter how many times I ask him to do something," she says to her friend, he just says "okay," and things don't get done for days. "Have you tried talking to him, and explaining that he has to pitch in and help? You know, you can use the Law of Attraction, and say positive things like I really appreciate my husband and he is so helpful," her friend says. "Oh, well I guess he does help but he doesn't do a good enough job so I just tell him to leave it for me," Bernadette replies. "What? Let me see if I have this right. Your husband does help but you tell him not to because you think the job he does isn't good enough, but then you expect him to help you?" Bernadette has just confused the universe and her friend.

In both of these examples the universe delivered what was requested, but the recipients refused to accept what was given. Instead of being grateful that he would no longer have to take the bus, Chester let his ego make the decision to refuse the car that would have freed him from public transportation, and instead of being grateful that her husband pitches in on all the household duties, Bernadette decided to be overly critical of his work, and therefore ended up without any help.

When you are given what you ask for, be grateful. Celebrate those aspects that match your request, and the universe will keep working on giving you all that you desire.

LOA Tip Of The Week #5

Does the Law of Attraction Work? 

You bet it does!

I recently spoke with someone who said they quit using the LOA because it wasn't working for them. They said instead of things getting better, they got worse. Here are a few tips to help you along when using the LOA in your life.

1.) Watch your words! Eliminate don't, not, and no from your desire statements.

2.) When you know what you don't want, you'll know what you Do want so stay focused on that!

3.) See opportunities in everything that happens. Plant positive seeds!

4.) The LOA matches your Vibration, or Feelings, NOT your words so start feeling good about your desires and dream BIG!

5.) Sometimes our desires manifest a little differently than we want them to. Celebrate the parts that match your desires instead of focusing on the parts that aren't a perfect match.

6.) See your desire as happening now. Using dream or vision boards, cutting out pictures from magazines, or even just pretending will place your desire inside your personal vibrational bubble. When you include the Feeling of having what you want, your vibration will be up and the Universe will match it!

7.) Remember, the LOA is always matching Your Vibration whether Positive or Negative, so if you think it isn't working for you because you are only receiving negative things, then change what you are focusing on from negative to positive, and your results will change too!

LOA Tip Of The Week #4

Feeling Guilty

I'm sure if you're like me, you have felt guilt many times in your life. Perhaps you let someone down by not doing something you promised to do. Maybe you told a "little white lie" to cover up for something you did because you felt it wouldn't be acceptable to a spouse, family member, or friend. Maybe you just woke up late and decided you'd call in sick instead of telling the truth and possibly getting written up.

We have been programmed for years to believe that we must always tell the truth or else we will be guilty of telling a lie. So now that the lie has been told, we can live with guilt. 

A wise man once said, "Feeling guilty doesn't help anything, feeling guilty would be perfect if it made things better, so there is never a reason to feel guilty." Yes, that is correct, feeling guilty doesn't help anything at all. In fact, feeling guilty is a very low vibration. When we have the feeling or vibration of guilt, we are vibrating at such a low level we can only expect more of the same to follow. 

Perhaps the truth is found out, or maybe you just couldn't keep the secret any longer because of your 'guilty' feelings, and things escalate to a new level so low, you can't think of any way out of the situation, or any way to make things better. In fact, there is no way to make things better! Or so you think.

Wow, that's a pretty low vibe!

Instead of feeling guilty, try a Forgiveness Practice. It's really pretty easy once you do it a few times. The first step is to think before doing, or saying anything. If what you are thinking about doing or saying will turn out to be a mistake, (in the long or short run), try not doing it! However, if you are like most people and follow through on that "mistake," immediately do all that you can to make the situation right. If it's an apology that is needed, then apologize and mean it. If you didn't keep your word, start keeping your word immediately. If you are looking outside of your marriage for happiness, then start working on your marriage, and that means start working on yourself.

One of the first rules of finding happiness is, 'You are responsible for Your feelings!' It isn't anyone else's job to take care of your feelings because we all have the power of choice. We choose how we wish to feel at any given time, so it isn't up to someone else to make us feel happy. Take a few minutes every day and sit in a quiet space. Try to clear your mind and then say, "I forgive you, even if you can't forgive me. I forgive myself, even if you can't forgive me. I love you, even if you don't love me, I love myself, even if you can't love me." Repeat this as a mantra for as long as you want.

Words are powerful. Saying, I forgive you, even if no one is there will become a higher vibe as you continue to do it. Practicing this mantra will also change your actions. You will find that creating love, peace, and harmony in your home will become a priority for you, and over time it will begin to require little effort on your part. 

You can choose to engage in things which cause disharmony in the home, and create a low vibration for yourself and those around you, or you can choose harmony and a high vibration will flow through you and around you. Choose wisely!

LOA Tip of the Week #3

Hello, and Welcome to my Law of Attraction Blog!
Today we are going to talk about allowing.

The third week of 2018 has come and gone, and what did it bring to you? For me, I manifested more money, two new clients, two new friends, another speaking engagement, and a lot of fun!

How did I do it? Well, I have been studying and using the LOA in my daily life for 5 years. That helps a lot when having desires and asking for them to manifest. Another thing that will help you in your journey is allowing.

What exactly is allowing? Allowing things to come to you requires that you release all doubt. Doubt can be a simple statement which follows your desire statement such as, I hope, We'll see, If I'm lucky, Maybe, I think it might, But, and so on. How many times have you asked for something and followed the request with a little doubt? Most of the time, people don't even realize they are doing it. A perfect example is something I was told today. A friend said he wanted to increase his work schedule by 4 hours each day so that he would be close to a 40 hour work week. That would qualify him for a raise. "I want to double my work schedule by May of 2018," he said. I replied that that sounded good and I was sure he would be able to do that, to which he said, "well, I don't know if I can, but I hope so."

Without even realizing it, he placed so much doubt on his desire statement, chances are slim that he will achieve his goal. By releasing doubt, and believing you can and will have that which you desire, the Universe is able to do its job, and bring to you those things you ask for. It is a process which requires some work on your part, and learning to make desire statements the right way. Remember the process? 

Your words = thoughts/feelings = vibrations = results. Whatever your vibes, they will be matched whether positive or negative, whether high or low. When you make a desire statement like my friend did, it's great to be as specific as possible and even place time limits on it. That shows you have a goal, however, once you put doubt on the end of that desire statement, your vibration drops down so low, the only thing the Universe is going to match is your lower vibration. It is the law. You get what you vibrate! Working through feelings of doubt sometimes takes time to master. Most of us are used to failing at things we try, and therefore we don't really believe we can have anything we want simply by asking for it.

Start slowly with this process, and remember that it is important to hear what you are saying. There is a lot more to learn about this, but by listening to your words, and keeping a high vibe you will be off to a great start!

Law of Attraction tip for Week 2

Hello! I hope your new year is starting off great, and you are staying positive!

While sometimes that is easier said than done, it is possible. Aside from learning how to use the right words, that will create the best thoughts, which then send out the 'high vibes' you are feeling, that will get you the results you want, there are other ways you can incorporate the LOA to work in your favor. 

Lets look at a few of my days this past week. For starts, I had a little contrast in the beginning of my week. Out of habit, it is easy to blame others for my feelings, but knowing that taking responsibility for my experience is actually what needs to happen, I had to do some self reflection. It starts with my response to any situation. I can make any situation positive or negative simply by using the right or wrong words. I struggled for two days over the contrast, and then I said, "Universe, I want this conflict to end. I realize that I am contributing to the situation in a negative way. I want peace and love between me and ..."

What happened as a result was total peace and a healed relationship the next day! It doesn't take long to get what we want when we live a LOA lifestyle. I had to take responsibility for my actions, and change my attitude and words.

Remember that no one is responsible for your feelings but yourself! That is because we have the power of choice. We choose how to feel, it isn't anyone else who chooses our feelings for us. Regardless of what anyone says or does, we can choose to stay happy and aligned with our highest vibration. A perfect example is what happened tonight when I showed up for my bowling league.

I had barely sat down, and just started to change my shoes when a teammate said, "So tell me what you have against .....!" He was referring to several shared posts I had on my personal fb page. Now, I try to stay 'middle of the road' on most things, but every now and then I show negative emotions. I simply told him I didn't agree with him on a couple of issues and its okay. He poked a few more times and I refused to get upset or into a debate with him. Then he said, "and what is that stupid thing you're wearing on your head?" referring to a neck wrap I had worn as a headband to keep my ears warm. With temperatures at -10 I thought it was a good idea to cover my ears! I completely ignored his remark, and went about warming up for the game. As far as I was concerned he wasn't going to take me away from my happy place! When he saw I wasn't going to engage with him, he said, "I'm just trying to push your buttons!" Really? "Trying to push my buttons??"

Needless to say, when you come across a person who gets joy from upsetting you, at that point you have to ask yourself if you really need that type of person in your life. A huge part of feeling joy comes from releasing those things, and yes people are in that category, that no longer serve you. Then filling your life with things, people, and situations that match your higher vibration. I had the power to choose how I wanted to feel. I ignored his attempts to enter into a verbal conflict, and continued to stay positive and happy. He gave up. I like feeling good, and I choose to hold on to that feeling. The more I do it, the easier it becomes.

This will happen for you too, if you continue to stay positive, take responsibility for your situations when you should, and vibrate higher than those who are out to 'push your buttons!'
