Does Law of Attraction Work?
It started in January was finished in May and sent off to the publisher in June/July. Say Yes to Yourself written by moi. When you buy this month and email me, you get a free workbook with your purchase. Why do I mention this in my law of attraction (LOA) blog? It is one of the many things I manifested this year.
Whether you realize it or not you are creating your future at this moment. Today’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs lead to future actions and results. Here are examples from my life starting in January:
I wanted a job working at a specific agency. There wasn’t even a position open. It was a thought, a belief, and a feeling “if only I had never left XYZ job. If only I could get ABC job, I think I would be great at it and make a difference.” A month later the woman who had that job left for a better situation. I applied and never doubted somehow I would get it. I took all the action steps, got the job and did a dance because that seemed to be my dream job manifesting. However, as Lisa A. Romano likes to say, “the Universe is indifferent.” The job was not everything I hoped and slowly new details came out. I ended up re-evaluating my dream job and landed where I am now. I have more peace now. Thank you Universe.
My book Say Yes to Yourself started out as a series of odd and memorable (but not in a good way) dates. After five months, I started saying, “I’m going to write a book about all this.” I took those action steps and now my book is published. I am helping to entertain and educate others based on my painful experiences. I have the thought, I had the feeling, and I had the belief. I did not self-edit as I wrote. I just did it!
My current romantic relationship is a LOA manifestation. After my dating disasters, I took myself off the market and said, “I’m good. No need for a man here.” At the encouragement of a friend whose opinion I value, I made a list of what I was looking for and decided to date again for “practice” and to have fun. I also took the advice of one of the local paster’s wives. I prayed for that special person out there who met my description. “God, guide him to me. Help me see someone who will be a good man to honor and respect me. Send someone who will treat me the way I deserve to be treated. Send me who you have in mind for me.” I had met so many liars that had agendas. Men who wanted relationship benefits without being in a relationship seemed everywhere. I realized I thought there were no good men out there. I shifted my thinking from there are no good men to there are good men. I looked to my happily married friends for help. There are good people out there and there is someone out there for me. I also shifted my feelings from I’ll never find anyone to I’m happy being alone and will not settle. I refused to be in a relationship if it was not a rewarding relationship where love flowed both directions. I had four dates set up and date two ended up being the man I hold hands with and say “I love you” to in public. He knows how lucky he is. We both do.
Last example, I started evaluating my friend and support group after I finished the book. I realized not all of my frineds were happy, supportive, and positive about me and my journey to grow. After removing the negative, I replaced it with positive. Now instead of meeting certain friends for drinks and bitching sessions, I have a group of people who are on a journey of growth also. We break bread, read, laugh, and pray together. We love and support each other.
All of these changes happened in one year. That saying “what a difference a year makes” rings true for me. We are closing in on the end of 2021. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas are around the corner. I am currently working on manifesting a loving and peaceful holiday with my new people. I want to encourage you to consider what you would like to be different next year. Check your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to see where you can shift and move forward. Make a plan with actions and let go of the exact results. Let the Universe manifest something wonderful for you. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful. You have the awesome power within you to change YOUR life. Be grateful and accept your power. OWN IT. Make 2022 your year to shine.
