Act As IF...

We have all heard the term, “fake it until you make it”. As cliché as this sounds, it really works. The power of our minds is so strong that we can will what we want into our lives by energizing our thoughts. This is the “Law of Attraction” so wonderfully illustrated in the book: The Secret from which the inspiration for this post came. We can attract what we desire just by thinking, feeling and visualizing it in our minds.

One way to do this is by Visualization. Sit quietly by yourself, quiet your thoughts and bring to the forefront of your mind the whatever it is that you want to attract to you. Say it be a dream vacation for example, actually see yourself laying on the beach, feel the sun’s warmth on your skin, the smell of the salt in the ocean, the sound of the waves smashing against the shore etc. Visualize yourself there, relaxing and taking it all in. Feel it to the point that it becomes real in your mind. By doing this, you are actually charging the energy of that experience and drawing it to you. Your mind does not know the difference between what is real or not, it just knows what your thought process says is “real”. I know this might sound a little far fetched but it works. You have heard of people who are deathly ill that “will” themselves back to health. They see it in their mind, decide that they are already healthy and then their body starts to heal. Or athletes who visualize themselves already crossing the finish line first and winning before they even begin to run the race.

This all speaks to the same practice of empowering your thought process to attract what you will into your life. Pay attention to what you are thinking about, what are you giving energy to?
Remember, whether it is positive or negative, your mind does not know the difference. It just knows that energy you are putting out into the universe and will attract whatever that is to you. A good example of this is in dating…have you ever asked yourself why you keep attracting the same person over and over again just in different forms? You are what you attract. So be sure when you feel a negative thought process to change the frequency of that thought and focus on something else that is positive. If you get into the habit of doing this often it will become a habit. It’s the same as saying a Mantra every day, the more you say it, the more you will start to believe it and become it. The power of the great two powerful words “I AM”. Next time you are in front of the mirror say to yourself “I AM beautiful, I AM successful, I AM happy” etc. And you will become that, your mind will believe it and attract that to you.

I leave you with this, “What a man thinketh,… he becometh”.

Namaste,
