The Law of Dis-Attraction

Hello Everyone:

Catchy title for today’s blog post wouldn’t you agree?

The buzz word out there is the Law of Attraction.

Here is wikipedia’s definition of the Law of Attraction.

The phrase Law of Attraction, used widely by New Thought writers, refers to the idea that thoughts influence chance. The Law of Attraction argues that thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) can affect things outside the head, not just through motivation, but by other means. The Law of Attraction says that which is like unto itself is drawn.

The Law of Attraction became widely popular after the release of The Secret, a 2006 film by Australian television writer and producer Rhonda Byrne. Byrne followed up the film with a bestselling book of the same title and appeared on a series of talk shows in 2007.

Various scientists have stated that many of the Law’s claims are impossible, violating scientific principles and a scientific understanding of the universe.  Instead, the Law may be explained as an illusion created by the connection between self confidence and success or ones own perception, like the placebo effect.

So why do so many of us have a difficult time with following the steps to the Law of Attraction. Is it possible that we are so distracted with everyday mundane thoughts that we become distracted with applying the Law of Attraction into our daily rituals. Maybe there is more to it than just perceiving positive thoughts and the need to take action to get closer to your dream/goal.

The principal of the Law of Attraction is a good thing. Let’s take it a step further. My equation is this-

Mindset—————-> Visualization—————–> Momentum—————–> Produces Outcome

So what does this all mean?

Mindset

Attitude and thought patterns are critical. If you are negative and think negative you are going to be negative. So what do all negative people need to do. Check your attitude at the door. But how? By reconditioning your mindset. How do you know something will produce a negative outcome if you have not attempt to even try? It’s all a perception. So, give it a chance to see what happens before it even happens. For example- Before you meet your blind date, you start thinking the guy is a hairy gorilla with a bad attitude and shorter than you. What do you think is going to happen? You already have a preconceived thought and already passed judgement on the poor guy. The date will turn out horrible because no matter what you will find something wrong with the guy. Now, if you are open with the mindset of “Whatever happens? I attract great guys and we are just sitting down and chatting over a cup of coffee. No pressure.”, then what do you think will happen? 

Visualization

Seeing the big picture is key. With athletes they visualize crossing the finish line if they are a runner or the baseball player see themselves hitting a home run. If you see success and feel success then the chances you are successful.

Momentum

Taking action steps to get you closer to your dream and goal. It’s great to think and will Law of  Attraction, but you need to do something to make things happen by taking action. This will then lead to desired results.

Outcome

This is when you look at the results. If they have not been met, then you re-evaluate and implement the necessary actions to get closer to the desired outcome. If they have been met, then look at what is next?
