Law of Attraction Tribe

Law of Attraction Tribe
Notice the word action in attraction. We will come back to this in a bit. 

How do you create your life?
Thoughts, ideas, people, money, energy, feelings, situations, circumstances, events, material goods ... all of these things happen as a result of the Law of Attraction. Do you feel happy, satisfied, challenged, joyful, loved with balanced amounts of anger, frustration, sadness, melancholy, boredom, exhaustion, etc? Do you feel the same all of the time? How do you WANT to feel? Whatever you want, is already yours. You just have to claim it as your own, by aligning your mindset to the higher vibration of the Universe.

As we embark on this journey together, think of things you currently dislike in your life, feel misaligned with, want to look, feel and be differently within the next few weeks. Some ideas are:

+ new friendships
+ financial improvement
+ nicer home
+ dream trip

+ improved health
+ new goals
+ a cute puppy
+ exercise classes 
+ a new wallet
+ 500 Instagram followers
+ to meet your favorite celebrity

Whatever you want in your life, big or small, expensive or not, is yours. Make lists of what you want, the things you desire to have, feel and be. Write them  down as the ideas come to you and keep listing, everyday! I have lists everywhere. I always have at least one notebook in my presence, I keep one in my wallet with a small pen, 2 in my phone case, about 8 in my laptop bag, a few in each car, multiple on my nightstand, several on my desks, you get the picture ... I'm never without a notebook in case an idea comes to mind, so I can capture it immediately without forgetting it. 

The Law of Attraction has been around for centuries, studied and practiced by millions from all walks of life. Whether you know it or not, we practice it with each breath we take, decision we make, thought we have, feeling we feel and action we take. The key to all of this is action. Visualizing, dreaming, listing, thinking, feeling are all important components of this process, but taking action is the catalyst for bringing it into your reality.

Vision Boards
Oprah does them. Will Smith. Maya Angelou. Jim Carey. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Lindsey Vonn. Kellan Lutz. Ellen Degeneres. Kelly Rowland. You get the idea ... very successful celebrities and influential people of our time create vision boards. So, what are they? Essentially, they consist of photographs of your choosing, arranged in a manner that appeals to you, of things that you want in your life. Specificity is your friend with this, so do put things on it you do want, and don't put things on it that you don't want. Simple enough?

If you're questioning or doubting the specificity point, let me share a personal story. In June 2008, I created a vision board for my cubicle at work. On it, I put various pictures of friends, a dream house, vacation spots and a black Ford Expedition, because I couldn't find a photograph of a white one that would print out well, but I really wanted a white one. In August that year, there were massive incentives on trucks and SUVs because the price of fuel was at all time highs. I did my research and found a white Expedition at a nice and reputable Ford dealership, and went first thing on Saturday morning to get my dream vehicle. As it turned out, the white one I found that Friday afternoon online was sold that night, and the only one left in the model I wanted was ... black, just as the one in the photograph on my vision board. I went for a test drive and fell in love, did the deal and still have him to this day. His name is Duke. 

Have you created vision boards of your own before? Here's a quick how-to with some examples of where to get photographs and inspiration if you aren't sure where to begin:

1. Identify the areas of your life: love, career, friends, finances, home, travel, hobbies, spirituality/religion, family, health, education. Identify the areas that are important to you, and make a space for each. Some may not be applicable to your attention and goals right now, and that's okay! You can revise your vision board at any time, add to it, take away from it, re-create it, whatever feels right. This is yours and your life, do with it as you feel is most powerful for you. Listen to what speaks to you. I might suggest the Feng Shui Bagua map as a sample layout, and it also doubles as a map to your home, with ancient guidance on how to arrange your belongings to encourage and allow free flow of energy, color placement and elements for each space, all to enhance abundance, love and happiness in your space. Have you ever walked into someone's home that just felt good? You couldn't pinpoint what it was about their space that was just so welcoming and comfortable, but you felt it in your soul. This is what Feng Shui brings to your home space. The feeling of goodness, happiness, joy, abundance, comfort, motivation, creativity, 

2. Acquire a large backboard of your choosing to post photographs and print-outs on. You can use poster board, a wall in your home, cork board, whatever appeals to you and fits in your budget.

3. Gather photographs of images that you want your life to look like. A dream house on the beach, a loving relationship with your partner, children, a booming career, a bank account balance of 7 figures, a tight knit friendship circle, amazing vacations ... whatever your best life looks like, that is what you want to get images of to put on your vision board! Be creative, specific and intentional. Approach this with a loving, happy, abundant attitude of gratitude as you put this together.

4. Tape, glue or thumbtack your photographs to your vision board, in a visually appealing manner in the organized layout that feels right for you. Refer to step 1's Feng Shui Bagua map as a suggested method. Most importantly, be sure to display everything lovingly, abundantly and with respect of space and intention.

5. Place your vision board in a place you will see it everyday, and spend a few minutes as often as possible with it. Gaze at each image, imagining yourself with those things, those people, those feelings and that different newness these changes will bring to your life! Meditate with these images and feelings, and ask for the Universe to bring them to your reality. Everything you want is already yours, and it comes into your reality when you are deeply ready for it. This is you opening the door for yourself to invite in the greatness you know you are!

As you begin the next chapter of your life armed with your vision board, open yourself to opportunities that life has to offer. Make lists of things you want, feelings you want, goals you have and keep making lists for the rest of your life. Writing things down connects you with your subconscious to pen and paper and brings a realness to your ideas. Be open to possibilities and accepting of the plethora of ways abundance comes to you.

Everyday Life - New Challenge 
From the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep each night, thousands of decisions are made, usually in 95%+ default without your input. Walking, driving, eating, breathing, talking, working, cooking ... we go through the motions without fully being present and without being completely aware of our actions and how we impact others.
My challenge to you: approach each task and decision as if it's all new to you and observe through how it makes you feel, as well as how it makes others feel. 
Does it improve or degrade your quality of life? 
Does it improve or degrade others you interact with?
Do you act out of love and kindness, or anger and fear? 
Do you bring kindness to everyone you meet? 
Do your driving habits involve angry rages against other drivers and make you so stressed out before you even get to your destination? Do your outfits bring you joy, bring you confidence? 
Do your shoes hurt your feet? 
Does your toothpaste do your teeth more harm than good? (Making your own from 3 ingredients: coconut oil, baking soda and essential oil is life changing.) 
Do you get to work or school happy and ready to greet the day, in your best confident and most loving energy? Or do you get to work frustrated, stressed out and ready to go home by 9 a.m.? 

What Is Manifesting? How Do I Manifest? 

Let's start with something small and simple. Identify something you desire. It could be something as simple as a free coffee, a kind gesture from a stranger, finding a penny on the ground, receiving a call from an old friend, seeing a spider on your windshield, finding something you've coveted for a while is finally on sale, a hug from a loved one, etc. Whatever it is, hold it in your heart and mind. Write it down. Print a photograph of it. Any of these actions will help, but the most important is to ask for it. Asking the Universe for something is very simple:
"Please provide a kind gesture from a stranger today. Give me this, or something better."
