Day 41 of 50 ideas in 50 days is Money and the Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks. Perhaps another of those books I may have put off reading had I not been doing 50 ideas in 50 days. I’m so glad I have been introduced to the wisdom in another of Esther and Jerry’s works.
The most important thing to consider where the Law of Attraction is concerned, for anything, be it money, relationships, job etc, is what state of mind you are in. The more positive frame of mind you are in indicates your connection to source and inner guidance, this allows positivity and abundance to flow. The book says, “shortage of time is not your problem. Shortage of money is not your problem. Shortage of Connection to the Energy that creates worlds is at the heart of all sensations of shortage that you are experiencing.” So, in other words, when we are having a bad day, we are probably running a whole lot of negative chit chat and are quite disconnected from our inner source.
So, in order to live in a place that is more connected and as a result, manifest the kind of life we want, “the most valuable skill that you could ever develop is the skill of directing your thoughts toward what you want – to be adept at quickly, evaluating all situations and then quickly coming to the conclusion of what you most want – and giving your undivided attention to that.” So if you find yourself thinking about what you don’t want, or about the lack of something in your life, stop and immediately direct your thoughts to something more constructive, creative and positive. Practise this often. Even if it seems really difficult at first if you are so much in the habit of focusing on the negative or the lack of something, Esther and Jerry suggest something very helpful. It’s called The Pivoting Process. Simply put, “whenever you recognise that you are feeling a negative emotion (it is really that you are feeling the lack of harmony with something that you want)…ask yourself, what do I want?” It’s important to stop that flow of negative thoughts and focus on what you do want to manifest in your life. After all, the Law of Attraction works like a magnet with your thoughts and how connected you are to your inner source.
So understand that money, like everything else is fundamentally energy. Stop the flow of negative thoughts, practice positivity, the Pivoting Process, you will find a greater connection to your inner source and the positive, more fulfilled side of the Law of Attraction.
