Law Of Attraction - Negativity

[dan09]

So how do we eliminate negatitivty? How do we shape our minds to stop it?
I've been using the law of attraction since January now, and have had some huge sucesses, but when I really go for what I desire, and I'm so close to getting it, what is always happening is I think about the what could stop me getting it, why i wont get it, and all sorts of other scenarios which are all negative which means I end up falling back. In a particular case, in June to use an example of getting a car (its not what im after but its an example) - I was so close, and now its August and I'm no where near getting a car if you get me because of my mind.

And whats more scary is the negative thoughts are becoming true, so its really working in one sense but not in the sense that I want to achieve, which is my desires not my fears. So I'm asking how do we shape our minds, and stop the negativity, because if I think a bad thought and I try and change it, I seem to be over powered.

Make it your number one intention to think positively. You can also try Steve's 'Feeling Blessed' exercise to raise your vibration by focusing on what you want as if you are experiencing it in the moment for 20 minutes each day. After doing this for a while you will gradually find yourself changing a negative thought into a positive one. Practice being open to the outcome whenever and however it shows up. Enjoy yourself with this. Experiment. Take your time remembering your significance and power and becoming a vibrational match for whatever it is you want.

It's not an instantaneous thing, elminating negativity. In fact, I think with even my furious study of various metaphysical techniques, it has taken me a good decade to get a handle on it. And I wasn't even a seriously negative person to begin with!

The very key, bottom-line technique, when all is said and done, is when you recognize yourself falling into negative thoughts, you must have a reminder phrase or mantra to stop them dead, and then replace them with something positive.

For example, I was stewing over a co-worker ratting me out to my supervisor for her perception that I wasn't doing my job properly. It's still a big trigger for me when people with far less ability and no idea what my job description entails, have the nerve to complain about what I do or don't do, when everything I do is dictated to me by people above me who don't necessarily seek the council of my co-workers before they assign my duties. So it really shouldn't bug me but it does. So I was having trouble getting out of that negative field of thought. Once I realized I was still grumbling an hour later, I did my "stop!" technique. What is this trying to tell me? What is good about her complaining about me? What does it say about me that it bothers me to this degree? What needs fixing? What is positive about my negative reaction?

So slowly I managed to construct the pathology of my reaction. The fact that I get so bent out of shape is that I abhor people that go behind someone's back to complain about them. I'm a face-to-face person and prefer to settle differences on the spot and honorably with the other participant.

What is good about her complaining about me is that even though it bothered me, she will never have to know it did. I will treat her exactly as I normally do, killing the drama in it's tracks. I hate drama. She loves drama. Which will make her feel small about tattling, perhaps or make her wonder if her managers even felt the need to talk to me about it. It was rather insignificant.

As far as the magnitude of my reaction, that is an unknowable factor. Obviously, it's criticism I hate. I react poorly to criticism, always have, almost violently in the past. It's not sadness or inadequacy. It's anger. So I have worked on that for years. Probably some past life mess.

What is positive about my negative reaction is that it reminds me that I have outgrown my position in this company and it reminds me to not get lazy seeking options.

So all that happens when I have a severe negative reaction. It's not easy. It's a definite process.

When I have a small negative reaction, maybe a judgemental reaction, since they are subtle, it's sometimes more difficult to recognize them when they happen. But when I do, I immediately question my SELF. Why did you just judge her? Isn't the world a better place when we are all unique? Definitely. I turn it positive.

But you have to catch yourself to begin the process.

Negative thoughts will happen and it's not necessarily a problem if we handle them appropriately. But what makes them stick around in consciousness is actually our own resistance to them. The common phrase is "whatever you resist will persist."

But there is usually a belief that if we stop fighting them, they will take over. In my experience, the opposite is true. When you let go of resisting any feeling, emotion, or thought, it dissolves on its own.

So the next time you have a negative thought, check to see if you are resisting it. If so, simply get in touch with that feeling of resistance and let go of the feeling itself. You'll notice immediately that you feel lighter about it and the thought will be less intense. If the thought is still there afterwards, check to see how you feel about it. Get in touch with the feeling itself and as best you can simply let go of it.

Going through this process even just a little can give you huge relief. What is underlying all your feelings and emotions you judge as negative is a calm, unshakable inner peace. Let go of the feelings and emotions on top and the peace underneath will present itself naturally.

All the best!

Here are a couple of things that work for me:

1. I write my goals, and revisit them frequently
So, I'm focused on my goals, and not the negative inverse.

2. Be conscious: Watch your thought processes, and if you find yourself sabotaging, or dwelling on the negative, notice it. Gently steer your thoughts to what you want.

3. Affirmations: Sounds corny, but having positive affirmations going through your brain can flood out the negative stuff. There are billions of bits of information out there, but your conscious can only handle a few at a time. choose to make those positive affirmations.

4. Take actions towards your goals. Instead of thinking negative, take an action, even a small one, towards your goal. Go to the website, and make the car you want your new screensaver, it can be that small. But if you continue to take actions, you will manifest the car.

5. Get an ipod, and fill it with positive learning. Get all the gurus, Jack Canfield, Tony Robbins, The Secret, Joe Vitale, et al. The ones that resonate for you, and listen to it all the time. Eventually your mind will be flooded with this information. The other thing, you will notice a pattern develop, they can't all be wrong.

6. Just do it. Just go out and get the car. Stop thinking about it, and wishing for it. Go to the car lot and talk to the salesman. You will be driving home with your car. (Do some research first, and make sure you get a good deal)

There is much more, but just doing these things will set you on the right path.

Well, if you're really serious about it, just meditate every morning on positive things. Love. Connection. Unconditional Acceptance. Peace. It is one of the best, fastest and most direct ways to be as positive as possible i can think of. It's pretty damn difficult to be negative when you just meditated on such heart-warming, positive things.
