When Law of Attraction Works Against You

Well, we have another adventure to share this week. This time, not such a fun story. You will find with my stories, most of them are about money. Although I do have other Law of Attraction stories, finances seem to be the stories that really are really profound for me since I've always had trouble with money. Plus, it seems everyone is having financial problems. This week it was my water bill. Ugh!


When You Can't Shake the Way You Feel...

I am always worried about bills. It's just part of my nature. Has been since I was a child and we did not have a lot. My mother was always worried about bills. I guess I got it from her. I know when it comes to Law of Attraction that this is NOT the way to bring about less worry about bills. It actually brings more which is probably why I'm always worried about bills, till this day. (I'm working on changing that...just bare with me) Like usual, I was worried about my water bill. My husband had missed a few days of work the week before from a shoulder injury (Law of Attraction in action) and I knew his check would not be much. I was hoping it would at least be $100 which would have covered most of it. No luck. $67 paycheck and me in a panic. My husband is pretty much our only source of income since my business seems to have slowed for now. I figured I'd try to make some sales anyways and see if I could come up with the money. I was not feeling very positive about that prospect either. May be why I never got the sales I was looking for. Now, I know that this is all working against me, but my mind will not stop freaking out. Try as I might, I could not change my feelings about the situation. Come the day the money was due, I was without the money. Not good, again. This really sent me into a tailspin and depression set in.


Keep in mind that the Law of Attraction mostly works on what your thinking AND feeling. I was feeling depression, anxiety, sadness, guilt, and anger. I was very angry that I was going through this whole situation. No one should ever have to worry about NOT having water at their home. I was angry with the world and with myself. I felt the whole gambut of negative emotions. This of course brought more of those emotions to me. I wound up having a fight with my hubby, who was screaming at me. (very rare) The kids were all being disobedient and fighting. Everything that could go wrong did. I had to sell my Wii just to get food for the rest of the week. Friday rolled around and the water got turned back on. However, there still was not enough money leftover to buy groceries. However, I got what I could and said thank you for the water being turned back on. My feelings began to improve and the weekend has gone well. I will be going to the food bank tomorrow (Monday, Feb. 28th) with my more positive attitude. Perhaps I will get enough to last a while. In my dispair, Law of Attraction did bring me something that actually helped me to get a better attitude right now. It's called the Love or Above by Christie Marie Sheldon. I got an email offer for a $1 trial. Perfect price for me. The great thing was, after I ordered it for a $1, it gave me the whole program on download. I now own it and I only paid $1! Thank you Universe!


What is the lesson here? Lesson here is that when you have a situation that is dire to your life, you have to find a way to feel positive about the best outcome happening in the end. Know that it is taken care of, and move on. I have a hard time letting go and allowing the Universe do it's job. I learned a big lesson about that this week.


During this week's experience I found a new site for me to sell my readings on. It's called ioffer.com . I listed a couple of readings there. It was funny because when I made the listing on there, the descriptions for my readings just rolled right out of my fingertips. Love what I wrote there too. He he. I have no doubt that Law of Attraction brought me the inspired action to list there and the descriptions I wrote for my readings. I've put the signal out that I would like more money. Now I'm going to leave it to the Universe to bring it to me!


I hope you gained something from this week's adventure with Law of Attraction or The Secret. I will be back again next week to share another story!

Welcome to My World!

Welcome to my new blog! I was inspired to write this blog after having some recent experiences with the Law of Attraction. I first bought the book "The Secret" last July. I had seen a group of twitty girls talk about it on the Chelsea Lately show. The said it was how they got their TV show. I figured, "If they can get a show with this Secret, surely it can help my life too!". I read the book and have had a few results from that. Then, about a month ago, I decided I wanted to look into this subject again. This time I found the movie online. I will give you the link to watch it for free at the end of this post. I watched the movie and followed the steps they outlined in the movie. I have to say, for me to start a new habit is a little tough. However, I found that when I follow the steps consistently, they work to manifest some really wonderful things into your life!  Let me tell you a little story.

This little ditty was only a few weeks ago. My electric bill was due, as always. My hubby works as an overnight stocker. Not very profitable but better than nothing. This particular week his hours were cut quite short leaving us with about $150 for the whole week. There are 5 of us who live here. (Me, hubby, 3 kids) That does not even cover the groceries these days for a week. I had to choose to starve for the week or pay the bill. I chose to get groceries and see if the ONE agency in town would be able to help us with the bill. I saved $30 of the check and crossed my fingers. The bill was $140. I knew if the agency would help it would only be $100. I figured I could more than likely borrow the last $10 from somewhere if I got the rest. I envisioned the $100 in my mind that I needed for the bill the entire weekend. Monday came and I went to the agency. For whatever reason, I was not feeling especially positive about my trip. I got to the agency and they told me they were out of funds. This was the last day I had to pay the bill before it was going to get shut off. I was having a heart attack. No power, 3 kids, not cool. I went home with my hopes busted and panic all over my energy. I tried to make sales from one of my 2 businesses to no avail. I was spinning with how to keep them from shutting off my power till I could get the bills paid. I came up with an idea to move my dogs chain to right underneath the meter and go back out on the hunt the next day. I was exhausted from the days disappointing en devour.  A friend had told me to try this little place in town that not many knew about. It was the Baptist Association. Now, I had been to this place once before. The preacher who was in there was less than cordial and proceeded to run down our house, our life, and just about anything that he could find that day. This was 2 years prior to this particular trip. I felt more positive on this day, especially since my dog was chained right underneath the meter. She would eat anyone who got NEAR that meter. She had food and water, don't worry. I went in and the same preacher was there. I presented him with the bill. He asked how much of it I already had. I told him the $30 I had in my wallet. He then told me if I could get $90 of the bill paid, they would pay the last $50. I just repeated that all I had was $30. He politely turned me down. I left with a look of disappointment on my face. I had gotton half way home when he (the preacher) pulled up next to me at the gas station. He gave me this look like "I don't know why I'm doing this." and then he pulled out his wallet. He reached in and handed me a brand new $100 bill. I was in TOTAL shock!  He told me to pay the $90.38 I needed to so they could pay the rest of the bill. Not only did I get the $100 I was envisioning, I also came out with an extra $10! What a miracle! Before you read on, please take a few minutes to watch the first 20 minutes of the movie, "The Secret". This will give you little bit better understanding of what I am talking about.




So now that you have heard one of my "miracle" stories, you are wondering, "What is this Law of Attraction and how can I use it too?" Hopefully you watched the first 20 minutes of the movie. The Law of Attraction quite simply is like attracts like. Good actions attract good results. Good moods and attitudes also attract more of the same. Most of us attract by default. This is how I have attracted for years. Have you ever noticed how if one thing goes wrong at the beginning of the day, the rest of the day goes down hill? This is Law of Attraction in action. Your bad mood or feeling attracts MORE of that mood or feeling to you. Same goes for when you are in a good mood or feeling "lucky". You will also attract more of what will sustain that feeling. There is a way to direct this energy to get specific results. What is the way, you ask? The people in this book have labeled it "The Secret". However, there are a few simple steps that you can use to access this "Secret".

Step 1 : Ask for what you want. This doesn't have to be in words. This can be through your eyes, your thoughts, or your feelings about having whatever it is you desire. You ask for things all the time, some on purpose, some not. Some of you may be attracting all kinds of things by accident that you do not want simply due to the intent feeling of whatever the situation is that you are trying to avoid. If you find that you are getting a lot of what you do not want, shift your focus. Think about and ask for what you DO want.

Step 2 : Visualize what you want. Do this however you need to, but you have to get into the feeling of having what you want. I often will turn on music that I like, plug in my headphones, and close my eyes. I jam out and see what I want like I have it now. That is the true key. Seeing it, feeling it, and believing it like it is yours right now. This can be tough, especially when you are programmed to think a certain way. This, by the way, is not your fault. Many of us have negative programming from childhood or other times in life. For some this block is with relationships, others it's money. The visualization step is truly what sets the Law of Attraction into action.

Step 3 : Give thanks for what you are asking for. This means, be thankful for what you are asking for right now, like you already have it. In the movie they say, "What we think about and thank about, we bring about." I have found this to be true. I was thankful that I was going to get the money for my electric bill BEFORE I got it. I wasn't even sure if I would wind up getting it but, I was thankful for it anyways. In that case, it worked like a charm.

Step 4 : Receive! This is the best part of the whole thing, getting what you want. For this step to happen, you have to be open or in alignment with what you are asking for. Part of this step happens in Step 2. The rest is really up to your sub-conscience to let it in. If you have a sub-conscience
 block about money, this is a step that will take you a bit to perfect. I am still perfecting this step as money is my current stumbling block. The story listed above only happens when it is DETRIMENTAL that I have the cash. And for some reason for me, not till the 11th hour do the funds show up. Better late than never I guess!

Now you're all fueled up and ready to go, right? "Maybe I am. I am asking but I am not receiving. What am I doing wrong?" Is this what you are saying in your brain? I have also had this internal conversation. All I can say to you is this, it will work if you continue to use it consistently and BELIEVE it will work. Your belief is perhaps the most important thing. You can follow all the steps word for word. You can do a hula dance, jump up and down, and run naked down the streets screaming what you want from the top of your lungs. If you do not believe you will receive, you never will. You have to believe without a doubt that what you are asking for is already yours according to the law of the Universe. Remember, Law of Attraction is an absolute law in the Universe. It is always working, whether we ask it to or not! Use this law to your advantage, and you world is your oyster!

I hope you have enjoyed the first of many stories I have to share with you. I have these stories on a fairly regular basis. That is why I started this blog. I hope by sharing my stories with all of you, that you can also make electric bill miracles in your own life. May the Universe bless you in every way possible! Till next time.....
