We recently received this UPDATE through the “Ask Gratitude Planet” section:

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

And we say: This is such great news! Thanks so much for sharing this update with us, and please pass along our joy for the improvement in her vibration. In Gratitude, CHRIS and the GP Staff

Here is the original question:

Message/Question:
“Hi. My daughter is a good volleyball player and there are a couple of
skills she appears to be struggling with that she has the ability to
do. If she master these it will take her to a whole new level of
confidence and skill. she wants them so badly however seems like she
just needs a little extra assistance. I want to be able to help her
get there through my positive energy, or prayer…. can you give me
any assistance on how I can help her make that breakthrough. It’s
critical for her confidence and continuuing to grow positively in this
sport. I don’t want her teammates to lose faith in her.” -Tina 

From Gratitude Planet:

Tina,

Thanks so much for your question. One way you can help her is to encourage her to talk about the developing skills in a way that feels better to her. For example, if she says “I’m not a good setter” and you know she is telling herself this either out loud or to herself, you can redirect her and say “you are getting better every moment at setting.” Once she gives herself the benefit of the doubt in her vibration, then you can start reaching farther with saying statements such as “My setting skills are becoming amazing. Everyone can tell I am getting really good at it.” There are many statements that she can say and then believe fully, and you will know best which ones to support her through and guide her to. She can also “practice” in her imagination. Have her sit quietly and “see herself” in her mind doing the skills with amazing grace and precision. Law of Attraction will not know that she is not really doing it, and will help her on the real court. Be sure she doesn’t visualize failures, but rather imagines herself being amazing. She will draw on these attraction momentum builders when she goes out there for real. You supporting her is huge, because many of us quit when the world tells us we are kidding ourselves. But we are not kidding ourselves, and having someone you love and trust help you practice these tools for expansion is very powerful. Let me know if this approach works in your case. Thanks for the question. Be Well, CHRIS-GP

 

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

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

Think about the things you are wanting to attract into your life: health, wellbeing, a new relationship, prosperity, a new job…whatever it may be. You can’t get there from here. The reason you don’t have it is because you are vibrating (sending out a signal to the Universe) as a person without it. You may be confused at this point because of all our posts about being present and living in the NOW. You may ask “how can I live in the now and hold a vibration different than the one I have now?” Indeed, this is a paradox. The trick is letting yourself feel the feeling of being or achieving the new thing in this moment. This is different than seeing yourself achieving or being this thing in the future. Another way to think of this is to realize that you are not attracting something new to you, but you are instead changing into a new person who has the new thing. When you say “I’ll be different when I have money,” the implication (vibration) is “I have no money.” You can’t get there from here.  But you can allow yourself to feel prosperous NOW, and to feel like the new person NOW, and to take action like a prosperous person NOW, and to be in a new vibration of prosperity NOW. You will have moved from here to there, to a place where you can feel like the new person with the new and present vibration, and Law of Attraction can then bring the full manifestation into your awareness very quickly. Be willing to change, and be playful about your thoughts. Linger in feelings that feel good while you think them. Even a little shift from where you are, into a direction of where you would rather be, will harness the Law of Attraction in very powerful ways. Try this approach and let us know what you experienced. Enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP

Today, pay even greater attention to how you feel when you offer your words to yourself and others. Try to feel what message you are sending out to all corners of the Universe. Know that you are asking for more of how you are feeling…and make it your sincere desire to feel good as much as possible. Feeling good puts you in a place where your positive words can match your vibrational asking. Then you can get even more excited about how your life will unfold, thrill you, and expand in amazing ways that will spiral upward and upward. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

But what about if you don’t love your job, or what if you really dislike your job? You have two choices. You can use this feeling of unhappiness to launch a new desire for a better job, and then you can be ready to act when the time for inspired action arrives. Or you can just complain, tell a sad story to anyone who will listen, and whip up an amazingly disconnected feeling every time you think of your work. Obviously only the first choice is the productive choice. But it can be difficult to see something positive inside something you have whipped up to a negative feeling/vibration.

Remember that the Law of Attraction can only bring you more of what you have, so it is never in your best interest to perpetuate a story that feels bad. Instead, you have to tell a different story to anyone who will listen. You have to look for the small things you love about your job that you might have been subconsciously ignoring. Take these small things and turn them into BIG things. For example, you may not enjoy attending meetings in your job. Instead of waking and dreading the day because of a 1:00 PM meeting you have to attend, be grateful for the coffee break you will have with your friend at 10:00 AM. Create an inner dialogue that is playful, even for tasks that are repetitive. I know that when I have to, say, stuff 1,000 envelopes I find some sort of game to play, with my own made-up rules and with crazy goals that make me laugh. To someone watching, it looks like I am just going about my business and working. But my inner thinking is amusing me to no end. If you hate your job, remember that you have the real power to sustain that vibration or to change that vibration. You can make your vocation your vacation, with just a little change of focus and with a little bit of redirection in your inner speak.

And here’s the most important part of all of this. If you are stuck in a job you dislike, and you find a way to love it and enjoy it…it’s highly likely that you will be offered another job that you like even more. When you hate your job, the Law of Attraction will keep you in it because it matches you with more of what you are experiencing. You may be fired, but you will attract another job you hate. So if you choose (right now) to love your job more, then more opportunities for work you enjoy will be made available to you in very short order. Do what you love and love what you do…as much as possible…and let the magic or your life take a firm hold and amaze you with every turn. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

We are told by health professionals that good nutrition and exercise are important to good health, and we are bombarded by the media with health-conscious ads and shows to remind us of the wellness that is available to us. If we just buy their products or do their program, or buy their food, we will be instantly healthy and well, right? Certainly eating right and exercising ARE important to wellness. But what about healthy thinking? What part do the thoughts you think play on your health and well being? They probably play a huge part!

So what do I mean by “healthy thinking?” In the same way that you wouldn’t put poisons in your body on purpose, you don’t have to default to poisonous thoughts either. Poisonous thoughts make you feel worse and worse, and often they have self-deprecating tones like “I am a loser,” or “things never work out for me,” or “I’m not good enough,” or “no one likes me.” Any thought you think that feels like these statements actually causes a cognitive dissonance to be created in your vibration. You see, Source Energy never thinks about you the same way that those poisonous thoughts feel, and when you feel different that Source, you feel bad and worse. You move down the emotional/vibrational scale as you move away from Source Energy. Over time your body and mind take a beating from this dissonance of vibration, and it eventually will show up as a physical symptom of some kind: a cold, a headache, a sickness, or even a dangerous accident. Law of Attraction reads this dissonance and hears something like “I am in conflict with myself. I am like a house divided.” You then manifest events and experiences that match this vibration. You will miss your chances for success and you will not feel the magic that could be in your life.

Your thoughts are just as important as eating and exercising well, and thoughts may be a major factor in the young/sick…old/well scenario that you can observe everyday. Why not feed yourself healthy thoughts like “I am getting better and better everyday,” or “things just seem to work out for me,” or “I forgive myself and everyone in my life,” or “I allow wellness as my natural state of being.” By feeding yourself more optimistic thoughts, you align with Source, and you maximize the vibrational harmony available to you in every moment of your life. Feed yourself healthy thoughts, and then expect wellness to be your experience. If you get inspired to eat and exercise better, go for those experiences too. Law of Attraction will help you expand into this new wellness by attracting new ideas, opportunities, and ideas to your experience. Eat well, move well, and think well today. Thanks for reading.

But our thoughts take time to manifest, and it takes a certain amount of momentum to create a manifestation. What you experience in any given moment is more of a vibrational average of what you have been offering over time. It is the culmination of your thoughts, feelings, and actions that create your point of attraction over time. This is why when you think a connected thought, you don’t see instant well being…and when you think a disconnected thought, you don’t get instant contrast. This is a great thing, trust me.

Now, this leads us to the fact that you will always be moving between connection and disconnection, feeling good and feeling not-so-good. It’s part of being human on Planet Earth. Disconnection (or contrast) helps you clarify what you want by identifying what you don’t want. In every disconnected moment you literally create something new (and what you would call better) in your vibration. Once it is created, you have the opportunity to attract it to you and allow it to manifest. Until you create it (through contrast) it literally does not exist for you. So your job is to move through your day, notice how you feel, and do your best to feel the best you can.

But when you find yourself in a bad-feeling, disconnected moment of great contrast…take a deep breath and affirm that “I just expanded my asking, and I am ready to move back into feeling better. I am an amazing creator!” You will never feel good all the time. It’s alright to expand and create through feeling disconnected occasionally. Just remember that you can’t allow your new creation while you are creating it. You job, once you feel better, is to receive your new expansion through feeling good. Start today by simply noticing when you are expanding, and when you are allowing. Life is defined by expansion and allowing. If you feel not-so-good, you are creating. If you feel good, you are allowing. We hope you have expanded your allowing by visiting Gratitude Planet and feeling better! Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

1. There is no shortage of Source Energy. It exists in abundance and will never run out.

2. You are worthy to receive Source Energy. There is no test to pass to make you worthy. It is yours for the taking, and it is free.

3. When you allow Source Energy to flow through you, you have everything to give. When you are disconnected from Source Energy, you have very little to give, and what you try to do from sheer work won’t make as much of a difference to others.

4. When you are motivated without being connected to Source Energy, people will be less inspired by your words and actions. Your intention to uplift others will be watered down. When you are inspired through your connection to Source Energy, people will sense your enthusiasm, your genuine gratitude and appreciation, and your full belief that all is well.

5. The Law of Attraction works the same if you are connected to Source Energy, as it does if you are NOT connected to Source Energy. So it is impossible, by Universal law, to attract something different than your own vibrational offering. Through your conscious connection to Source Energy, you set the bar that determines your power, expansion, allowing, and value to others.

The insight I received the other evening happened when I was feeling good while talking over dinner. The conversation was fun and expanding, and I had so much to say that felt good while I said it. At one point the conversation, for what ever reason, turned to a topic that didn’t feel as good. Without thinking, I joined in and helped the conversation feel worse and worse, adding comments and stories that moved me away from my Source Energy. I started moving down the vibrational scale until I felt pretty disconnected and even sad. I could see that my friends were also feeling the “buzz kill” of the conversation.

Now, from my disconnection I decided to uplift the table by saying things that felt a little better. However, I was trying to offer these words before I felt better myself. Saying the words actually made me feel worse, and I could tell that it felt awkward to the others too. So then I remained quiet for a short time, maybe two minutes, and just thought thoughts of gratitude and appreciation. Talking to myself felt easier than trying to change others from my point of disconnection, and within two minutes I had a good-feeling vibration rolling again.

My next offering to the group was met with smiles and felt like it made a positive difference to the vibration of the group. Notice today when you move ahead in your connection to Source Energy, and when you just move ahead to make something happen. Start being more sensitive to the way you feel when you are working, and when you are flowing with Source. Flow more, work less, and be filled with love and gratitude. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

Lie quietly in your bed and close your eyes. You should be ready to drift to sleep. Create a present-tense statement that reflects something you are going to receive while you sleep. Let it be one sentence that feels good when you say it. If it is job related, you could say: “My co-workers always enjoy my leadership, and we are a fantastic team.” If it is prosperity related, you could say: “Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.” If you are wanting more friends, you might say: “I’m always in the right place at the right time to meet new and interesting friends.” You get the idea.

Now, what you do is you say the statement to yourself, in your mind, while feeling the truth of the statement. Have no doubt that you are allowing this thing to be attracted to you through the Law of Attraction. The first time you say the statement, emphasize EVERY word, and feel each word as a confirmation of the thing you are allowing. See each word in your mind. For example, if you use the statement for prosperity above, it might flash through your mind like this:

MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS

Feel the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the first word:

MONEY and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.

Again, feel deeply the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the second word:

Money AND abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.

Continue in this pattern until you emphasize each word of the affirmation in order. Finally, emphasize the whole sentence again. The whole sequence would look like this:

MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!

MONEY and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money AND abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and ABUNDANCE flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance FLOW to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow TO me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to ME endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me ENDLESSLY in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me endlessly IN ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in EVER-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-INCREASING amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing AMOUNTS!

MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!

At this point, relax and enjoy the fact that your mind is focused, your work is done, and your only job is to let the power of sleep do its work while you rest and receive. Look for evidence of the affirmation throughout the whole next day. You will see it. If you like the feeling of the statement, repeat it again for several nights. There is no need to do more than one statement a night. Just do it once and believe in the truth of it. Let the Law of Attraction respond to your asking without you having to “make it happen.” Enjoy, allow, receive, be grateful, and rest. Be.Love. Hannya-GP
