There are times that I feel like I have the worst timing on the planet. I rush to get around and become late arriving somewhere, or I work, work, work to finish something…only to discover that I missed a deadline. Sometimes there is no getting around the fact that a deadline was missed. However, I have noticed a connection to time and my alignment with it in the real world. When I take the time, usually early in the morning, to connect with Source Energy, the world seems to work better with me in terms of time. I seem to get things done ahead of time, or I find myself enjoying the work more, instead of rushing to meet a deadline. My timing, when I have aligned with the Universe, is pretty spot on if I do say so myself! So maybe time is not the enemy (if there is an enemy) but rather my own alignment with Source is my challenge.

Aligning with Source is not hard, really. It can be as easy as listening to your breath for five minutes, or doing yoga, or meditating for a little while. It can happen on a walk, or while you are looking at the sky. In fact, there are countless ways to connect to Source Energy as long as you have the intention to do so. The only way you can keep yourself from aligning is to rush ahead into the day or into a situation without gathering yourself in the moment. Take the time to slow down your conscious mind, and let yourself love the moment even more. Assure yourself that this is time well spent. It all works out.

Try this as an experiment. Do it one day, and maybe not the next. See if the day feels different to you. journal about how you feel during the day. See if you have parking spaces, friends that you just happen to connect with, or new and wonderful experiences that pop up for you. I know you will…because it happens to me all the time. Be.Love today! Hannya-GP

Thanks Chris/Gratitude Planet.  This advice was amazing.  She is doing soooo well.  And, has come soooo far.  She is at a camp this week where she was ranked the number 2 setter!  And, last year at this same camp she was extremely backward and not confident.  Totally appreciate all your advice and great vibes

Law of Attraction Tips for Wellness and Prosperity

 

paradox

When you become a student and practitioner of the Law of Attraction, you come to realize that there are easy parts to accept, and also that there are parts that take some faith to accept. For example, if you want proof that Law of Attraction works, focus on feeling better for 30–60 seconds, and notice how you gain access to thoughts that feel even better. Focus on something for a day, and notice yourself finding unlimited thoughts that support the topic. Give a topic your full attention for a week, and you will feel it building and multiplying in your vibration. Focus your undivided attention on something for a month and see how it manifests in your life in multiple ways. The proof is in the changes you see and feel, and you gain momentum the more you do it.

But sometimes we all get stuck, and it feels as if nothing is changing. This is the paradox. If you give your undivided attention to something you want, you will see proof of progress in somewhere between 30 seconds to 30 days. But if you have something you have been wanting for much longer, you may have been missing a key step to manifesting everything you want: imagining that you already have it right now!

But wait, you say, how can I feel like I have something that I don’t have? And that’s the key…if you feel like you have it, Law of Attraction can deliver it to you in a real-life manifestation in 30 days or less. So if you think about the thing, and then feel bad that you don’t have it, and then desire it even more, and then feel worse that it hasn’t come to you yet, you get into a cycle that feels like being stuck in the same place. What you have to do is take a leap of faith: feel the joy of having it right now.

Let’s take weight loss as an example of this paradox. If you have decided that you want to lose some weight, then your first step is to simply notice what you say to yourself in your thinking on the topic of your weight. If you have been trying for a while to lose weight, then your thinking will have some contradictory vibrations. Sometimes you will feel optimistic about losing weight, and sometimes you will hate thin people, and you will feel guilt, shame, and even sadness around your present weight. Law of Attraction responds to all of this, and you get into a “two steps forward, two steps back” cycle. It seems like nothing is changing. Once you catch yourself in this cycle (and you will), just laugh at your thoughts and remember that they are simply thoughts.

Your goal is to reach for a thought that feels true, but that also allows Law of Attraction to work in your favor. The thought “I am exactly 120 pounds” might be too much of a stretch. But the thought “I am attracting my perfect weight” might have a ring of truth for you in this moment. Love the thought in this moment. Eventually you will find thoughts that feel true, and that reinforce the reality of the condition you are manifesting. You might think “my clothes fit so well, and I look great. People treat me like a very healthy person.” If you hold this kind of thought it will manifest in 30 days or less. It’s feeling good NOW that matters, and also staying in a good-feeling place on the topic.

The paradox is simply stated: If you want something, feel good about it now, as if you already have it. Experience the joy of it now, in your vibration. Don’t focus on NOT having it…feel like it’s yours already. When Law of Attraction hears “this is my reality,” it agrees every time and brings it to you quickly and expertly. Be well, feel great, and enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

Me: “So, what do you have planned for the rest of the day?”

Friend: “Oh, I’m going to go and watch my granddaughter’s soft ball team play.”

Me: “That sounds like fun! How old are they?”

Friend: “They’re between seven and nine years of age.”

Me: “Are they a good team?”

Friend: “Not really. They are at the bottom of their league!”

Me: “Ouch! That must not be good for morale.”

Friend: “Actually, they don’t care. They aren’t there to win any big awards, or be the best in the league. They are there to have a good time and enjoy each other’s company. Winning or losing doesn’t even cross their minds!”

I had an immediate thought at this point. Why can’t life be this way? Why can’t we NOT worry about having everything “work out” and just have fun with each other, and let the Universe take care of us? So I decided to give it a try. Instead of worrying about my relationships, and where they were going, I let go of that and just had fun with them. In place of working to get approval from my colleagues, I accepted that they already approved of me, and made our work together a thing of play. I relaxed, and trusted that Law of Attraction was lining me up with the vibration of what I wanted. Guess what happened? All of my relationships have taken a positive step forward. In fact, one of my friends remarked to me about the positive “change” he has seen in me this week. The work that my colleagues and I were doing seemed to just fly by as if guided by an invisible genie. Seemingly impossible situations magically worked themselves out all by themselves, without my having to invest any energy at all. I didn’t worry at all about how good I was, how effective I was, or even if I was getting these Law of Attraction principles down correctly or not. I simply realized that it is a wonderfully automatic system that works to perfection every time. We need not worry about being finished with the process, because WE are a never-finished process. We are eternal beings. There is always something wonderful and new to learn, and we can learn everything in our own perfect time. We don’t ever have to worry about winning, because we have already won. We already have the prize. All we need to do is to enjoy our process…enjoy all of it…the people, places and things in our lives, and just have fun. Enjoy the prize!  -Lee

1.     Be impeccable with your word.

2.     Don’t take anything personally.

3.     Don’t make assumptions.

4.     Always do your best.

The third agreement, “Don’t Make Assumptions” is an all-important one as it relates to the Law of Attraction. To “assume,” as an old, wise, yet humorous saying goes, makes an “ass” out of “u” and “me.”  The official definition of the word is:

assumption |əˈsəm(p) sh ən|
noun
1 a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.

Assuming, by definition, means that you have no real proof that the event or situation is true, and it also means that you have a choice in terms of how you perceive the event or situation. We all make assumptions, often quite unconsciously, all the time. We might hear a beep in traffic and assume that someone is mad at us (when they really might know us), or we might assume that someone is ignoring us (when they just didn’t notice us). Assumptions become part of our daily routine and, over time, we ascribe our assumptions to blocks of reality that we never dare to question. The real question is, do your assumptions serve your greater sense of well being, and do you assumptions help you feel better in this moment? If you answered “yes and yes” then you are doing well with this third agreement.

Remember that the Law of Attraction responds to your average vibrational offering, and this vibration is always changing as you think and feel, and think and feel your way through every day. When you feel good, you are attracting the things that will feel good when they manifest. Likewise, when you feel bad or disconnected, you are attracting things that won’t feel great when they manifest. Yet being human on planet Earth means feeling good sometimes and bad other times…the key is to feel better, and to move your average vibration higher and higher. You do this by the thoughts you choose. Your assumptions directly affect your thoughts.

The next time you feel a disconnected thought, or a feeling that feels bad, notice if the thought is connected to an assumption you are making. Are you assuming that you hurt someone’s feelings? Are you assuming that you failed someone? Might you be assuming that something in the future will go wrong? In almost every case, you have a choice to drop the assumption and feel better in the moment. Because you have no real proof of the validity of the assumption, why not just ignore the possibility for now, until you get a better sense for what has, or what will, happen? I have noticed that I make assumptions that I can never prove, such as if a stranger thought I was nice of not. I may never see the person again, and I don’t need to assume anything about the interaction…the experience is only in my mind once it is over, and I get to choose how I perceive it.

Because I practice the conscious art of the Law of Attraction, I like to take this agreement one step further by being selective about my assumptions. If I make an assumption that feels bad, I do my best to drop it. But if I make an assumption that feels good, I just roll with it. A simple example would be: if I assume that something bad is going to happen I just let go of the thought, and remind myself that it is merely an assumption. But if I have a thought that all is well, or that something good will happen, I embrace the better-feeling thought and let it permeate my vibration. So my agreement with myself is really: “Make No Bad-feeling Assumptions.”

I hope this makes sense to you. You have the power to feel better and better, and to attract the life you have been asking for and wanting. It is yours for the taking, as long as you are open to noticing how you feel. Use this agreement to your advantage and see the difference it can make in your life today. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

I believe that optimism is especially powerful because it includes a reference to both sides of the issue: the glass is half full, or it is half empty. It helps you choose to focus on the side of the issue that tells a better story. It looks objectively at something and makes the most out of it. It is a launching pad for climbing the emotional scale on any issue. It recognizes the choices you have with two distinct paths, one that leads you closer to where you want to be, and one that leads you away from your desired emotional destination. It is the opposite of delusional; it is grounded and realistic while still being a reach on the vibrational scale. (Incidentally, you can make a good case for the concept of being delusional too, forgetting about “reality” completely and giving thought only to your goal. Many successful people call this “being focused.”)

Do you consider yourself to be an optimist? I know some people that pride themselves on being a self-described “devil’s advocate” and finding the fault in any idea, plan, or brainstorm. They feel that they play an important role in the conversation by bringing everyone down to a realistic level. But they actually do themselves a disservice by lowering their own emotional set point of vibration, which inevitably keeps them feeling worse and worse. The “important role” of pessimist keeps them from manifesting their desires and askings, and their Source will never take a pessimistic view of anything…so they live out of alignment with their own inner being.

Notice today what your thoughts and words feel like. Are they optimistic or pessimistic? Do your thoughts and words lead you to feelings that feel better or feelings that worse?  Just notice. If you find that you inject part your day with pessimism, acknowledge that optimism is a choice, just as pessimism is also a choice. Each can be practiced just as easily as the other. In every moment you can choose to see the best, or the worst. You can reach for the best thought you can find, or you can reach for the worst thought you can find. It’s all up to you, and by paying attention you will be empowered to choose more consciously today. I truly believe you will do great things today, and I know you will feel better and better as the day goes on. May you find joy in every moment in this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

1.     Be impeccable with your word.

2.     Don’t take anything personally.

3.     Don’t make assumptions.

4.     Always do your best.

The second agreement, “Don’t Take Anything Personally” seems straight forward and easy to understand. No matter how things go for you, this agreement guides you to take other people’s intentions and reactions out of your personal vibrational equation. In other words, what people think about you is really none of your business. Yet you might worry that you could be perceived as insensitive if you really don’t care about what others think of you. This is true, but this worry misses the greater point of this agreement.

It is possible to be sensitive and aware of the feelings of others without allowing yourself to lose your personal connection to Source Energy. When you take things personally, you assign blame where no blame needs to be assigned. No matter what people do to you or for you, they are always living their life from their own personal vantage point. The decisions they make are all in relation to their personal perceptions and assumptions. They are always working within the Law of Attraction, and they are always getting a match to their own vibrational offerings. So when they do anything, it is always in relation to their own personal crossroad of experience…not in exclusive relation to YOU.

When you take things personally, you assume that your influence on another is a greater influence than their own thoughts, feelings, and actions…and this simply is not true. You are never responsible for the choices that others make, even if you feel like you are. It is much easier to decide that you will take responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions, and let others do the same. Make peace with where you are while you allow others to be who they are as well. Free yourself from the feelings of disconnection that come when you think others have wronged you in some way. It’s not personal, it’s just what happened.

The Law of Attraction always matches your vibration and gives you more of what you focus upon. When you take things personally, you lose your sense of higher, better-feeling connection to who you really are. You lose your own sense of direction, and you start to second-guess what you need to do to make the other person happy, or what to do back if they have wronged you in some way. This is all a waste of time and energy. Instead, decide that what others do is not a factor in your own ability to be connected to Source, and that you will maintain your happiness even when the going gets tough. Give the benefit of the doubt by remembering that it’s never personal. Then, once you release the chains of worry, you can find your center and thrive again.

Start today by just noticing when you take something personally. You will feel it in your vibration, and you will be able to consciously identify what seemed to make you feel that way. Then take the other person out of the equation by remembering that they didn’t tailor their actions as a personal attack on you, but rather they made the best decision for their own personal journey. There is much freedom gained when you adopt this agreement. Allow yourself to master it, and enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

1. Choose a statement that feels good to you, but not one that feels untrue to you. It needs to stretch your beliefs a little, but not be so far out of your own realm of possibility that you contradict the statement immediately in your mind.

2. Repeat the affirmation out loud or to yourself as many times as you can while staying focused on the good feeling it creates.

3. Allow the affirmation to attract another affirmation. It will pop into your mind effortlessly, and you will know you have attracted a good one if it feels just as good as the first, or even better.

4. Repeat the new affirmation, and see where it leads you.

5. Have fun and enjoy the energy these positive statements can bring to you. They can jump-start your day, or they can energize you when you have a disconnected moment. One word of caution, however: if you can’t find a thought or statement that feels good, just search your consciousness for one that feels a little better. In very little time you can attract thoughts that feel good, and you are back on track to allowing the life you deserve and desire. In other words, don’t repeat an affirmation that is out of your vibrational range because it will only reinforce your belief that you are far from where you need to be.

These affirmations are like thought vitamins. Use them daily for your morning boost, and then ride their energy all day. If you need more, pop a few more. They are safe, non-toxic, healthy, and free for the taking! Who doesn’t want that?

Here are some examples of affirmations, just in case you want to get started and can’t think of any right away:

1. I relax and allow everything I want to flow to me in this moment.
2. I love my body and trust its wisdom.
3. I am always in the right place at the right time.
4. My life is unfolding perfectly, one step at a time.
5. My body always finds its perfect balance. I am healthy, fit, and flexible.
6. I allow the well-being of the Universe to cleanse my cells with pure, positive energy.

Be Well, and enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

The Law of Attraction is not difficult to understand or harness, but there is so much information out there that is geared for different kinds of people. It appears to be much more complicated than it really is. Today I will give you an easy way to summarize the Law of Attraction, and then I will give one example of how I have used it effectively to create something I wanted.

Law of Attraction is a universal law that deals with energy and vibration. Like attracts like. You are like a radio station that is constantly sending out a signal, and the Universe is broadcasting right back at you with the same signal! What ever you broadcast vibrationally as you live your day is matched, enhanced, and expanded by Law of Attraction. If you want change, you have to change your vibrational broadcast signal first, and then the Universe will change to match it. Waiting for the Universe to change YOU is a recipe for disconnection and frustration. I hope you are grasping the amazing truth in this: You have at your fingertips, right now, the ability to harness the energy that creates worlds…and it is constantly working to match and attract to you anything you broadcast. WOW!

A few years ago my wife and I moved to Southern California from the Midwest. We decided to live near the beach, and we found a great apartment just three blocks from the ocean. In only a few weeks we decided that we wanted to be not just close to the ocean, but we wanted to live right on the ocean! It would have been easy to find a million reasons why this would be impossible, but we understand the Law of Attraction, and we set out a course to allow this desire into our lives. The key is to get aligned with your desire, and to live it right now. Yes, you have to live it right now! But, you say, you didn’t live on the ocean. You only lived near the ocean. You were fooling yourself. And I say, sure, we were fooling ourselves…right into a place of feeling good about our desire, and right into broadcasting a signal that the Universe could match. We talked about how great it was to live on the water, and we bought books and magazines that had pictures of the ocean, I set up an electronic picture frame with hundreds of ocean-front images that I found on line, and we even slept every night, all night, to the sound of ocean waves on the iHome iPod dock next to the bed. We made vision boards with pictures of the beach. We also created “an allowing manifesto” for this manifestation of ocean-front living. (More about that in a later post). I found myself spending many hours of inspired time looking at real estate listings, all the while enjoying the feeling of living on the water. Yes, we “fooled” ourselves into broadcasting this signal to the Universe: “we live on the beach, we have the resources to purchase a home, and we love living here.” By not contradicting our own vibrational desire, Law of Attraction had no problem attracting to me a real estate listing that caught my eye. I immediately called the agent and set up a showing. It matched our list of criteria, and we were soon living there. But in our minds, we were already living there. Moving in was the last step, not the first step!

You can do this too. Look at the things you have been asking for. Have you been sending a signal that you already have it? Can you enjoy the feeling of living it right now? If you can do this and love having it now, you will be in the right place at the right time to have it flood to you through inspired action. I would love to hear your stories about your successes. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP
