Most people probably know that it’s beneficial to think positive. To really reap the rewards, you need to take that a step further, though. It’s not just about “thinking” positively, you need to “feel” positive.
We’ve all heard sayings such as “you reap what you sow” and “you get out what you put in”. The basis behind these is that what we put out into the Universe is what we attract back. So if you’re putting positive stuff out, you will attract good stuff back, and if you’re putting negative stuff out then you will attract more of the same.
Scientists have long known that everything in our world, including people, can be broken down into particles of energy, and that similar energy is attracted to other similar energy. In simple terms this means that we’re all radiating our personal energy out into the world. But, our energy differs according to our mood and our feelings.
We’ve all had days where nothing seems to go right and the more frustrated and angry we get, the worse everything gets. Or days when we are really down and the more we wallow in our misery the more sorry for ourselves we feel. Luckily most of us can also recall days where we feel fantastic and everything just seems to fall into place without too much effort. We probably all know of people that always seem so happy and for some reason their life seems so wonderful and so easy. We can probably also think of people who are always complaining about something and their life seems like one continuous drama. Although we’re not aware of it, this is our power of attraction in action. Just like magnets we automatically attract back into our lives the same sort of energy that we are putting out.
The great thing is that once we know about this we can put it to good use attracting lots of what we want into our lives. The trick is to train yourself to feel positive feelings such as happiness, joy, excitement, contentment and satisfaction as often as possible. The more positive you feel, the more good you will attract back. With practice this can be as simple as making a choice to be happy, no matter what.
Try and minimise the negative feelings you feel such as sadness, anger, frustration, guilt, anxiety, stress and jealousy. There will be times when things go wrong and you genuinely feel these negative feelings and that’s ok. Just remember the price you pay for radiating this negativity and try not to hang on to it for too long. You don’t want to attract back more of the same!
If you are stuck in a negative cycle it can be difficult to break out of. Focus on anything you can that makes you feel happy, even if you have to pretend. As you get better at it you will find that you genuinely do have more to be happy about, and the easier it becomes to feel positive. You will begin to spiral upwards, instead of down. Believe me, it’s worth the effort!
