The Law of Attraction and the Economic Crisis
Maintaining a Positive Attitude by Focusing on Positive Aspects
Dec 5, 2008
Due to the media hype about the Law of Attraction, there are those who are purposefully choosing their thoughts and guiding their emotions with the hope of manifesting a more positive life experience. However, in light of the economic crisis, maintaining a positive viewpoint can be challenging at best. You can't seem to escape it; everywhere you turn, you are inundated with information about a worldwide financial crisis. So, how does one maintain a positive attitude during these reportedly bleak times?
Law of Attraction Overview
By now, through movies like The Secret and books by authors such as Esther and Jerry Hicks, many people have a basic understanding of the Law of Attraction. Simply defined, this universal law states that like attracts like and we create our reality through our thoughts and emotions. Every thought or emotion you have offers a vibration, and that vibration attracts your reality and creates the world around you. In other words, positive thoughts and emotions create positive life experiences, while negative thoughts and limiting beliefs create negative or unwanted life experiences.
Have you ever noticed that whenever you talk about an undesirable subject or issue, evidence of that very subject begins to appear in your life? The reason is because there is only “yes” in the Law of Attraction. For example, if you think about not wanting financial stress, that is exactly that you will attract. If you are fearful or worried that the current economic downturn will stop you from being able to be, do, or have what you want in this life, then it will. So, regardless of how fearful you may be about the economy, it is imperative that you find ways to concentrate your thoughts and emotions on what you want rather than on the lack you are either personally experiencing or witnessing in others.
Focus on the Positive Aspects of Your Life and Financial Situation
Law of Attraction author and lecturer Esther Hicks has often suggested focusing on positive aspects to pivot your point of attraction from negative thoughts and emotions about a particular situation to positive ones. Constantly focusing on the apparent reality of a situation will only attract more of the same. During the current economic climate, it is easy to focus on unemployment rates, foreclosed homes, price hikes, and many other factors that would seemingly reinforce the idea that your financial stability is hanging on by a thread. However, the only way to create a more positive economic climate is to focus on the many fantastic aspects of your life, your experiences and even your finances. Below are some tips on focusing on the positive aspects of your life.
- Begin noticing the positive aspects first thing in the morning. There are always aspects of your day that make you feel wonderful. Perhaps when you awoke, you noticed that your bed was nice and warm. Perhaps your breakfast was particularly tasty and you (or your loved one) prepared your eggs exactly the way you like them. Every positive aspect, no matter how big or small, is an opportunity for you to shift your vibration to attract what you want in your life.
- Keep a notebook or journal to transcribe your daily positive aspects. Jotting down these aspects on a daily basis will not only help you think and emote more positively, but it will also veer your attention away from global economic concerns. Whenever you are feeling negative emotions, you can look through the pages of your journal and smile as you reflect on the many beautiful experiences of your life that are often taken for granted.
- Be thankful for the positive aspects of your unlimited abundance. Know that you have the power to draw from an unlimited source of prosperity and abundance regardless of other people’s reality. Regardless of whatever your financial situation is, there are always areas of your life that will remind you of your abundance. For instance, if you are reading this article, you somehow have access to a computer and the internet. You have access to reading essays and articles that make you feel terrific.
- Focus more on what you want in your life as if it already exists rather than focusing on what you, or what you believe others, do not have. Focusing on “what is” only works if you want more of “what is.” If you like your home situation, spend more time thinking fondly on that aspect of your life and the abundance that you enjoy in that area.
Life is Meant to be Abundant
Remember that experiencing positive emotions and prosperity is your birthright. The good news is that the Law of Attraction is always working. You can never turn it off or veer from it. Your thoughts and emotions dictate what you attract into your life. Once you learn to master focusing on the positive aspects of your experiences and the world around you, you will start seeing wonderful changes in your reality. People will marvel at how well you have maintained a positive disposition and financial security despite any global economic troubles.
