Lifestyle

There are so many ways to use the law of attraction, so I’m going to outline some of the most common techniques and talk about how you can incorporate the law of attraction into your everyday lives. 

If you haven’t read my first post talking about the law of attraction, click here to check it out. I would recommend reading that first.

Raise your vibration

We must have a high vibrational frequency to attract what we want. To attract the things we desire, we need to vibrate at the same level.

Gratitude

When we feel grateful, we raise our vibration, allowing us to attract more positive things into our lives. You can think about what you are grateful for if you want, or you could write it down. 

Something I’ve been doing almost every morning for the past couple of months is writing down a few things that I am grateful for. There are so many things to choose from, so try to pick something different to focus on each day. You can even express gratitude for little things you take for granted that you don’t often think about and expect to be there. It may be something like electricity, trees, or maybe your eyesight. 

If you are having trouble coming up with something to be thankful for, be appreciative of today. Each day is an opportunity, and we are lucky to be alive. Be grateful that you woke up this morning.

Set your intentions

Set an intention for the day and set yourself up for success. It can be something specific or something more general, like to be happy and spend quality time with family and friends. 

Do something that you enjoy or that you are passionate about

When we do things that we enjoy, we raise our vibration. This can be anything like reading, listening to music, art, cooking, or being outside. Anything that brings you joy or peace. 

Manifest smaller things

Attracting smaller things into your life helps you to build your belief system, and this will help you to attract bigger things into your life. For example, a parking spot. 

Have reminders to look at during the day. You can do this in a few different ways.

You can write down affirmations and hang them up in your room or on your mirror.

You could also create a vision board. You can do this on Pinterest, or you could cut out pictures from magazines and create a physical vision board to keep in your room.

Another place to put affirmations or positive quotes is your phone lock screen, which we all probably look at a lot throughout the day. 

Beliefs

If you don’t believe the law of attraction works, then it probably won’t work. If you have limiting beliefs about yourself and don’t believe that anything good can happen to you, then nothing will.

One practice is to use affirmations. You can either come up with these affirmations on your own 

You can look up videos of affirmations to listen to while getting ready in the morning or while you’re on your way to work or school, or you can write your own and repeat them to yourself every day. Affirmations may include things like “I am happy,” “I am confident,” “I am talented,” or anything else that you want. 

The way you speak to yourself matters

Sometimes we can get in our way because of our beliefs. We may have told ourselves we are ugly or that we are stupid so many times that we start to believe it. Even if you say something about yourself in a joking way, your subconscious mind cannot tell that it is a joke, and once you tell yourself something so many times, you start to believe it. 

Surround yourself with positive people

If you are spending time with people who are saying negative things about you, even as a joke, then again, you will start to believe it. If there is someone in your life who is putting you down and not willing to change the way they speak about you, then I would recommend removing this person from your life, if possible. 

Also, spending time with people you don’t enjoy being around is going to bring your vibration down and ultimately make you more unhappy. 

Meditation

Meditating is something that instantly raises your vibration because it allows your mind to focus. It relaxes your body and mind. Sitting with your eyes closed while focusing on your breath for just 5 minutes every day can be very beneficial.

Meditation can be focused on other things also. It could be focusing on a specific affirmation or sound.

Guided meditations are also a great tool. You can look these up on YouTube or use an app, like Calm or Headspace. These prompt you to focus your attention on specific things and make meditating easy. 

I have recently been using the Calm app, and I love it. I often use this app to meditate soon after I wake up or before I go to bed. 

Visualization

I think this is the easiest method. You imagine what you want and imagine how it feels when you have it. It is almost like another version of meditation. 

Like I said in my last law of attraction post, I remember my mom telling me that she would imagine herself pulling into an empty parking space in the front row of a crowded lot. Say you are trying to attract money into your life. You would close your eyes and visualize getting a check or getting a deposit into your bank account, and try to feel the emotions that go along with that. Imagine what it will feel like when you receive this money, and this will bring up your vibration to attract this thing or event into your life.

Visualize a situation and picture the people there, the smell, the taste, what you’re thinking, what you’re saying, what you’re feeling, and any other details. 

The goal is to bring your vibration to the same frequency of something you want to attract into your life. 

When we desire and wish for something, we are signaling a lack of something, so then we never receive it. It’s important to think and feel as if we already have whatever we want. 

 I would recommend doing this before you fall asleep at night because this is when you switch from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind. This is also a good time because you aren’t doing anything else except lying in bed. You can use this practice at any time of day, though. 

Scripting 

This involves using a pen and paper and writing down what you want as if you already have it.

I like to do this after I write down a few things that I am grateful for. A good way to start is, “I am so happy now that ___,” or “I am so grateful for ___.” Fill in the blank with whatever you want to attract into your life. This way, you are writing as if you already have what you want and putting out into the universe that what you want is yours. 

Again, using the example of attracting money into your life, you could write something like, “I am so happy now that I made $10,000 this month,” or whatever your goal is. Then go on to write down how this makes you feel and any other details. 

Be careful not to use any words or phrases like “don’t” or “I wish.” This is telling the universe that you don’t have anything. For example, writing “I wish I had more money,” or “I don’t want to be in debt anymore” focuses on being in debt and not having money, which is not something you want to attract. 

Scripting can also be done by writing a story about your day in the present tense. Include what you see, who’s there, your thoughts, your feelings, and any other details in this scene. 

Forget about timing and let go

Know that everything is going to happen when it’s supposed to happen. Trust the universe and don’t focus too much on wanting something you don’t have, as this sends out a signal that you are lacking something. Remember, good things take time, and patience is key when it comes to manifesting

Manifesting is something that should be fun. It should be enjoyable to visualize and create your reality. If you start implementing the law of attraction into your life, you will witness it working firsthand and see how your life can improve.
