LAW OF POSITIVE ATTRACTION: 5 EXCELLENT EXERCISES TO USE IT - GEOGRAFÍA

The law of positive attraction affirms that you attract into your life what you are constantly thinking, whether good or bad and in any area: in love, professionally, materially… It consists of three steps to make it work: ask, believe and receive.

Any person on planet earth who has not been isolated in recent years will have been informed about this law, which has been known since 2006, with the publication of the book The Secret.

The secret to the law of attraction is that it is an offshoot of positive thinking or positive psychology. The point of difference is that the law of attraction makes people believe that just thinking and wishing will create things in their lives. You forget the hard work, effort or sacrifice!

There are many defenders, while others are critical. There are even celebrities like Oprah Winfrey or Will Smith who support her. Which side are you on?

I have read the book and remember, there is hardly any reference to the importance of acting. It conveys the idea that just by thinking, "the universe transmits energy that turns your thoughts into reality."

Let's put two cases:

Maria believes in the law of attraction. Think about how she will pass the exam, study 2-4 hours a day for a month and surprise, she passed! There are people who would say that it is the power of this law. I would rather say that it is the power to strive…
Nerea believes in the law of attraction. She thinks that she will pass the exam while she is going out with her friends and she hardly takes time to study and, surprise, she has failed! Nerea may think she hasn't thought enough about passing. I would say that rather it has not made an effort.

Does it give you positive attraction or action?

With the following example, I hope to prove that action is always going to matter more than thinking without acting:

Who is most likely to be a chief engineer? I'm sure that, other conditions being equal, it will be Antonio.

Positive thinking does work

It has been scientifically proven that experiencing positive emotions (that come from positive thoughts) such as joy or love causes people to see more possibilities in their life and to take more action.

What is the great advantage of seeing more possibilities and acting more? Well, you build more skills and personal resources that will add value to your life.

For example, someone with an open mind who sees traveling abroad positively will learn skills such as: autonomy, new languages, social skills… However, someone who has negative thoughts, such as fear, will stay home and lose the possibility of developing those skills.

On the other hand, other benefits of thinking positively according to the Mayo Clinic are:

Lower rates of depression.
Lower levels of stress.
Greater resistance to colds.
Greater physical and psychological well-being.
Lower risk of death from cardiovascular accidents.
Better skills to face obstacles and moments of stress.

To finish this point, remember that negative thinking also has its advantages in certain situations (what would happen if you did not think negatively in the face of great risk or great danger?).

On the other hand, it is not mandatory to always think positively, there are stressful situations that will inevitably make negative thoughts arise; Don't blame yourself for thinking negatively in situations that are very negative.

Exercises to put the law of attraction in your favor

I think you have already understood my way of thinking: without acting you cannot get the benefits of the law of attraction or thinking positively. Here are 6 exercises you can do:

1-Meditation

Recent research has shown that people who meditate show more positive emotions. In addition, long-term resources are built with meditation: development of skills such as mindfulness, social support, ability to concentrate…

Here you can learn to practice meditation.

2-Make decisions and make a commitment

To change negative situations, you need to make new decisions and make a lasting commitment.

If you really want to get what you want, commitment is essential.

Successful people work hard and commit to the goals they want to achieve. They make the decision to get something, they commit, and they persist.

3-Write your goals

Writing goals is a way of focusing your attention and knowing what you want to do.

In addition, it will help you remember your commitment and not forget what are the most important actions that you have to perform on a daily basis.

4-Enjoy while you pursue what you want

Let's say you've made it a point to pass your next exam or get a job.

As long as you think positively, you can try very hard to achieve it and at the same time you can enjoy.

In certain situations you will have to sacrifice more, but in general you can enjoy while pursuing your goals.

Professor Barbara Fredrickson comments that happiness is essential to building the skills for success.

That is, happiness is both the precursor and the result of success.

You are happy, therefore you develop new skills, those skills lead to new successes, which result in more happiness and the process repeats itself.

5-Write

This study published in the Journal of Research in Personality, examined a group of 90 college students divided into two groups.

The first group wrote about positive experiences for three days in a row. The second wrote on any subject.

Three months later, students who wrote about positive experiences had better moods, fewer visits to health centers, and had fewer illnesses.

And what do you think of the law of attraction? How have you used it? I am interested in your opinion. Thank you!
