After reading more about The Secret from Michael Losier’s book “Law of Attraction”, I’ve decided to add the exercises he outlines in his book to the current practices I’ve already implemented. According to Losier, the first step to mastering the Law of Attraction is to create clarity through contrast.
The reason why we find ourselves getting all the things we don’t want in life is because we’re often focussed on those very things we don’t want. Most people can tell you what they don’t want and what they don’t like, but often find themselves at a loss to express what they really want. Because they are so focussed on the things they don’t want, they are giving these thoughts energy and the Law of Attraction states that whatever you think about you get. The Law of Attraction doesn’t recognise that we don’t want these things, it just recognises that we’re thinking about these things a lot and so it gives it to us.
So to help us identify what we really do want, we have to make a list of all the things we don’t want - this is the list of things we need to find contrast to. For instance, when we say, “I have not enough money,” we need to rephrase it as, “having an abundance of money”. Michael suggests that we do this for all the things we want in our life. For instance, what do we want in our ideal partner, what do we want in our ideal career, what is our ideal financial situation, etc.
So here are the things that I need to create contrast through clarity for:
- having my ideal financial situation
- being my ideal parent
- achieving my ideal personal success story
When I wrote up my lists, I found that I was actually stuck when trying to write about the things I don’t want. Does that mean I’m already one step ahead of where most people are? I find myself thinking of things I want in a postive light so perhaps I don’t need to create a contrast list, but just my clarity list?
