You know it’s one thing to read about the law of attraction, the subconscious mind and being in alignment.
Then it’s another to start understanding it.
Yet again, it’s quite another when you start living it.
I went through all those phases myself.
In what phase are you right now?
Are you reading about it?
Have you come to understand it by now?
Or are you truly living it?
Right now I’m in the third phase of the law of attraction, so to speak.
I’m really starting to feel my momentum.
It actually started last year, but I couldn’t feel it as much because I was grieving pretty bad. But they were already signs that the momentum was in motion.
However, it doesn’t come overnight. And the reason it doesn’t it’s because we don’t let it.
We don’t let it, because we have way too much stuff that’s clogging the pipes. But that’s OK.
Let it come when you’re ready for it.
How did I get Rid of an Old Subconscious Belief
If you had asked me what was my biggest pitfall not that long ago, I would have told you, it’s always been waiting for the other shoe to drop.
The reason for that was because of what happened to me when I was five. The shoe dropped big time.
So I lived my whole life with that strong subconscious programming of mine without realizing how heavy it was to carry.
But lately, with the help of my coach, I’ve rewritten my story. I really, literally did rewrite my life story.
I took a blue pen (as per her instructions) and a notebook, and I wrote what I want to do, be and have in 5 years from now with as much details as I could think about.
I can add, and edit that story as I go and as I please, but since around the time I did that, things have really started to shift in my head, and in my life.
I noticed that I started attracting things. Good things in my life.
I even started attracting messages I needed to hear, books I needed to read, and so on.
Most of all, I decided that there was no need for the other shoe to drop anymore.
I religiously keep doing my meditations, tapping, binaural beats subconscious programing recordings, hugging trees in the park (for the root chakra), and all that good stuff that I do on a daily basis.
That’s right, I don’t just write about it, I do it.
I feel that if you want to coach people about those things, you are a much better teacher if you practice what you teach yourself on a daily basis.
Anything that helps you be in better alignment with the universe is a good daily practice. All those things have helped me tremendously.
Finally Reaching a Turning Point
During these past few months, I’ve had a record of small successes one after the other. But it’s not by chance, it’s because I learned how to focus on success more, and much less on anything else.
I am reaching a point where I am very aware of what’s going on in my head, at least a good 80-85 percent of the time. Which means that I think positive and raise my vibrations and emotions most of my waking hours.
Sometimes things may happen, or memories of sadness can surface (especially if you’re still grieving). That’s bound to happen at times, even when you pretty much have it together, because we are humans, and also because we are getting the results of our past sticking thinking.
When you get to a point where you are able to recognize it, though, and look at it from a higher point, you can accept the fact that you feel that way, but as you do, you will also be able to get rid of it as soon as possible.
When you catch yourself being in a bad place emotionally, you have a choice to stop right there and go in a different direction.
You can pick something, anything that makes you feel good. Something that makes you smile and use that to switch your thoughts and emotions from bad to good.
You can decide to stay with the negative thought, or you can decide to let it go.
You know what I’ve noticed?
The more you do it, the easier it gets.
Every morning and every moment after that, I decide what I want to think about.
I check myself often and decide quickly what thought serves me and what thought doesn’t serve me.
Because you know what?
Every Thought is a Seed you’re Planting into your Future
Your thoughts are the seeds, your mind is the garden, and your life is what grows in the garden.
Every thought you think now, is building up in your mind either in a positive or negative way, and grows to the point that it creates your life events, circumstances, successes and lack thereof.
Where your focus and energy goes it grows.
I had to come to the realization that I used to be so darn negative most of the time.
It was so natural to me to expect the worse that I was totally blinded by it. But sure enough, I was reaping what I was sowing.
I was planting those negative thoughts in the present, and I was reaping the negative circumstances later.
This part wasn’t my fault. I grew up this way. My mother lived her life as victim of circumstances, never understanding why.
Fortunately for me, I came to learn things she never did.
This is the pattern that most people in this world live their entire life.
Even though I knew quite a bit about the law of attraction I still let my present situation rule my thoughts and thus rule my present and future.
As I mentioned in my last post, if you focus on what is, you are going to have more of what is. If you focus on what you want, you are going to get more of what you want.
I started to feel a swift when I manage to overcome the “what is” and focus more on what I wanted.
Actually, if you don’t want to have more of your “what has been” and “what is” I strongly encourage you to focus more, way more, on what you want instead.
Many of you reading this, may never have had much of a hard day in their life, and if that’s the case, that’s great. Keep doing what you’ve been doing and you’ll be fine.
But for those of you who have been through less than desirable times, it’s very, very important that you learn not to go there anymore.
You need to start planting good stuff in the garden of your life.
Be Grateful
Here is a very easy exercise that I would like you to start today.
Look around you and think of anything you can be thankful for (watch this video) every single day.
As you wake up in the morning, lay in your bed awake for a few minutes and be grateful for being alive, for being healthy, for being able to get up, for being able to go to work or do whatever you have to do that day.
I do this every single day.
As you may know if you know me well enough, I love to walk in parks. I do that on pretty much a daily basis. And as I walk, I give thanks for this abundance of sun, fresh air, the trees, the millions of leaves on the trees.
In the winter where I don’t see the leaves I give thanks for the millions of branches on the tree that will give birth to the leaves in the spring. Sometimes, I even look at the little pebbles on the side of the trails and I give thanks for the millions of pebbles.
Yes.
I do that every day.
You know what that does to me?
It puts me in a very good place. It raises my vibrations as it puts me in a grateful mode.
As per the law of attraction, a grateful mode brings more and more good things to you.
Here I’m going to end this article with something from Ester Hicks as per the teaching of Abraham.
If, every morning for the next 30 days, you begin you day by saying: I intend to see; I want to see; I expect to see, no matter where I am, no matter what I’m doing… I intend to see that which I want to see, you will change the momentum of your life experience. And all things that now displease you will be gone from your experience and will be replaced by things that do please you. It is absolute. I is law.
Try it. It works!
Oh, and leave your thoughts and comments below too!
Hi Sylviane,
I really enjoyed this article! Several years ago I went through some extremely trying times. I learned through that experience that things are only as bad as we make them and if we want the best in life we have to choose to see the best things even in our moments where those things are dim or small.
I used to tell my wife that we could get through anything if we just take that approach. Sure enough.. the lesson learned turned into one of the most fruitful times in my life now.
It really is true that how we choose to see things will determine what things will one day be.
Great post Sylviane!!!!

Hi Don,
I am so glad that you are too a living proof of what i’m saying here. And I didn’t invent it either. It just is.
Right now I’m helping someone who is what I call a “pit” and it’s only based on old thinking patterns and momentum of bad/negative past thoughts.
We are creators of our life. What people call circumstances, coincidences, fate, bad relationships, diseases and so on… all created. The more I learn about the law of attraction and compare what I’m learning with my life, and the life of people I know best the more it’s SO CLEAR to me.
Good for you to have switch your momentum, Don. Great job. I know you’re rolling now!
Thanks so much for coming by.
Hi Sylviane,
After reading about and observing the changes that several friends and even acquaintances have made in their lives after beginning their journey for self enlightenment and realization…
Have come to the conclusion that it is worth the effort and using some time each day
to make it work.
Even though some publicly announce they want to over come addictions (alcohol or even
personal habits) that are holding them back, success seems very dependent on having a
clear map to your new destination away from what YOU have decided is your roadblock.
Back to your childhood and redefine yourself and not continue to accept the YOU that someone else convinced you that you are.
Just saying!

Cararta invites you to read..About
2014 was a terrible year for me; one negative event would follow another, making me think that things would never look up. I felt miserable most of the time and took it out on my family and friends. I wasn’t a very pleasant person to hang around. When the year ended, I called a friend to wish him a happy new year and during the conversation, he led me to a video talking about the law of attraction. Skeptical, I thought it was just mumbo jumbo and dismissed it. However, I decided to try it out because I thought why not. For the first thirty days, I started feeling more hopeful, powerful, and encouraged about life. I found myself more motivated in working on my dream projects and truly envisioning my ideal life. Months later, a series of events have unfolded in getting me closer to that ideal life and I almost can’t believe it. Doubt wants to wiggle its way through, but reading your post helped me pushed it back and stay on the path I’m on. So thanks Sylvia!

Hello Sylviane,
You are such a motivating person. I love the positive vibes you give off when you talk about empowering ourselves with positive thinking.
It’s been a year since I have changed my mindset to a more positive thinking mindset and you’re right, it has released new opportunities for me and it’s done wonders for my self-esteem.
I will admit there are some days when I start to feel a negative thought creep up in my mind but I noticed it’s when I want to start a new project. I just keep reminding myself that I am capable and expect great things to happen.
A local pastor here always says you get great things when you expect great things and I think it’s so true.
I really enjoyed reading this article Sylviane, thank you for putting it togther for us. I hope you’re having a great week.

Hi Cori,
It seems that you’ve gotten it, so keep doing what you’re doing.
Your pastor is totally right, we get great things when we expect great things. Why people’s life is so bad to average? It’s because all day long they’re planting those negative seeds/thoughts – they don’t even realizing they’re doing it, and then they wonder why their life sucks so much. I know people just like that. They’re just not getting it.
The problem with the law of attraction is that unless you get to “getting it” you will suffer. Because we are our own creator of the life we live.
My parents and grandparents never knew that, I had to learn it on my own, and I think that I finally attracted this information over the years, because I refused to believe that life had to suck that much. I’ve always believed that there had to be something that I could do to make mine better.
I am so thrilled that you’re experiencing the wonderful effects of knowing more about the law of attraction.
Thank you so much for your feedback.
So if I say to myself:
“I intend to see, I’ll see?”
🙂
Great call to action post today. Only good thoughts.

Hi Kerry,
You funny girl 🙂 But why not? Have you ever will to see “literally?” Why not try?
Besides that, yes, state what you want in your life to create a momentum and see your dreams come true.
Thanks for coming, Kerry.
Hi Sylviane
I like the topic very much; real winners most of the time drive positive energy from the most adverse situations.
The way you explained the whole process is quite amazing and one can easily find what wonderful lies in his life that yet to be fully availed.
I think positive mindset is one of the biggest blessings a person has and he just needs to take its full benefit.
Thanks a lot for sharing such wonderful post.

Hi Sylviane,
I have never meditated, but recently I joined the free version of Headspace (10 days free) just to try 10 minutes a day of meditating. I have always been open to it, but never tried it. So far I have experienced “a new world”. I am so much more focused and I am thinking about things in a brand new way, and every time I start thinking about something that’s not good for me (or just not good in general) I am able to switch my thoughts back to feeling good again and remove what I have been thinking about.
Your post really resonates with me and I can understand how people who have practice meditation and gratitude can change their lives.
Hi Jens,
And it’s not a coincidence that you’ve found this post, is it? It’s because now, in your new world of meditation you are going to attract more things of that nature. You’ve got to love that law of attraction thing.
Mediation has helped me greatly as well. Once you start, you wonder how you’ve lived all those years without it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
Take care 🙂 ~Sylviane
Hey Sylviane,
You are SO right my friend and I’m thrilled that things started falling into place for you as well. I know you’re very headstrong and at times couldn’t see yourself how negative you were but we all have to have our own “aha” moments before we can acknowledge that for ourselves and then do something about it. You’re one of those who was eager to learn so you can continue to help others. To me those are the best teachers.
I agree that we all have to learn at our own pace and I’ve had a lot of things happening for me lately too. You and I have talked so you know what I’m speaking of but I do believe that when you raise your vibration and are more aware of your thoughts that the right things will show up in your life as you need them. They’ve definitely been that way for me and they continue to as well.
My future is bright and the lessons I continue to learn are exactly what the doctor ordered. I agree with the gratitude for what we do have, I do that every single morning as I take Kayla out for her morning stroll. When you’re grateful for what you have and what God has allowed in our lives how can you start your day on a bad note right?
Thank you for this message my friend and you have a glorious week. Your month is winding down and there are new adventures waiting for you. I’m so excited for you.

Adrienne invites you to read..Women and Money in Business – It’s Complicated!
Hi Adrienne,
Oh, yes, that’s true I’ve been headstrong since at least age 2 as my mother has told me many times 🙂 My parents had purposely tested me as little as that. They would tell me one thing and waited to see if I’d listen, and I never did LOL!
But besides that, I did grow up with lots of different levels of negativity; the bullying, the loss of my father, my mother’s break down, our trouble-maker-Italian-side of the family… you name it. It’s not for nothing that by the time I reach 17 I had a full blown stomach ulcer.
But I am so, so over all that now. All this is my old life and its dead now 🙂 It’s just good material for my book that’s going to help lots of people 🙂
I know that you’ve made lots of progress lately too, and that’s really great. We keep learning, we keep improving, and we are getting better and better. Way to go!
You have a wonderful week as well!
