Getting in full touch with this side of you through intuitive development can be a long process that takes a lot of determination and a regular time commitment.

Law of Attraction

The science of drawing specific outcomes to your life based on what you think and how you act; the relationship between how you think and what you receive. The Law of Attraction is based on the belief that you will draw to yourself, the thing or things you think about most. For example, if you constantly think about lack and not having, you will invite “lack” into your life. If you concentrate on abundance, instead, you will attract abundance. Laws of attraction are a set of beliefs that the thoughts you have can have an impact on the world around you. The concept behind this is that whether you are putting out positive or negative thoughts, you are impacting the energy in the environment around you and those thoughts will have an impact without you even knowing it.

Others have a positive mindset of how well things will go and what they are looking forward to doing and accomplishing. These mindsets can manifest themselves. A negative mindset can cause negativity to come to you during the day. Likewise a positive mindset can help you accomplish more and see better results. People who see the glass as “half full” instead of “half empty” have a positive mental attitude. A positive mental attitude always breeds success.

Positive Momentum

Positive momentum is essentially moving towards what it is you want. If you were thinking of this in a physical sense, you could think about putting a golf ball towards the hole, the push the putter makes on the golf ball will send it where you want it. Mentally it is much the same. Adding a positive push and positive thoughts about accomplishing something can help to move you towards the goal that you have in mind. Positive momentum is more than just positive thoughts though, it is a motivating positive thought that sends you in the right direction.

Removing those thoughts and possible regrets and worries can allow a person much more joy and positive thinking in their world. An example of applying the power of now is enjoying the taste of your chocolate chip cookie as your are eating it or noticing the beautiful fragrance of the flower that you walked by. The keyword is total awareness. It also can be used as a powerful tool for meditation. This is one of our focus topics within the chapter “Unplug your Mind”.
