The Laws Of Attraction Part 2
By Gemma Bailey
Dream big!
What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? Really stretch yourself! One of the challenges that I had initially with practicing the Law of Attraction, was that the dream was so big, I felt like I was lying to myself every time I imagined achieving it, or thought about it. Think of it this way, you're lying to yourself every time you say that you can't do something. You can do anything that is humanly possible. (As part of my Life Coaching practise near Bedfordshire, I teach my clients the ability to make their imagined dreams really come to life by altering the submodalities of their visualisation.)
The one thing that will determine success or failure is your level of belief in your ability to achieve your goal. You need to believe that you will do it from the bottom of your boots. I remember when I (Gemma) gave up my job as a manager at a children's nursery to set up my hypnotherapy practice. My mum said to me "If it doesn't work out, you can always go back to working with children." To which I replied "But it will work out." To which she replied "Yes but if it doesn't, you can always go back-" To which I replied "But it will work out." This conversation of few words went on for several minutes, (infuriating me.) You see, having my new business not work out, just wasn't on my radar. I believed from the bottom of my boots that it would work out just fine (and it did.)
Seeing is believing
Every morning (at least) or every night, you must aid your focus on your goal by visualizing what you will see, hear and feel when you have got it. Scientists that studied brain activity in athletes, discovered that the same neural networks in the mind are activated when the athlete visualizes doing their sport as when they are actually doing the sport. There for it is important to visualize so that your neural networks are wired for success and you can practice being successful at achieving your goal, all the time sending your thought energy into the universe to attract your goal further towards you.
Some people find visualize easier than others and some people "think" more than "see" actual movies in their minds. As part of the Life Coaching package I offer to my clients at my practise near Bedfordshire, I include hypnotherapy which is really good at stimulating the imagination, and making visualisations really vivid. Either way it works and everyone has the ability to do it because all of our memories are stored as pictures first, the sounds and feelings only follow after the picture. If you're not convinced that you can do it, try the following exercise:
I want you to memo rise the following words in order. Because your conscious mind can probably only remember the sequence of about 7 things, I'm going to give you a way of remembering the words. Read through the list first and see how many you can remember without the technique below, then see how easily you remember them all when you do use the technique.
