It feels good to feel good. Yet, if I wake up in the morning and say, “Today’s going to be a lousy day, because the boss is back from vacation,” I already laid out the day’s events. It’s like I preprogrammed a miserable day, and it’s no shock to find out the day is exactly as I expected. I used words and their feelings to solidify how the Law of Attraction works.
The Law of Attraction answers your thoughts and the feelings behind the words by giving you exactly what you are requesting and offers you more of the same. Therefore, it is important to focus on what you want, rather than on what you don’t want. So you don’t want to say, “I hate being fat” and then feel depressed. Instead say, “I want to be thin” and feel how good that feels. By making simple statements that you think are harmless, you may be actually redirecting very powerful suggestions back to you. Have you ever noticed that by saying “I can’t”, you keep yourself from doing something? Doesn’t it feel limiting in thought and action? What about phrases with “never” and “always” in them? How many times have you said, “I never have any luck” or “It always seems to happen to me” and then feel sorry for yourself. It sets you up for failure before you even start by directing you on a cellular level to behave negatively and fail.
Even though I’m talking semantics, words have a strong effect on behavior so I avoid using certain phrases. I will not say “You’re a pain in the neck”, for fear that I’ll get a pain in the neck. I try to think about the words I say and say what I really want, instead of using those cliche expressions you hear all the time, like “You’re driving me crazy” or “I love you to death.”
By choosing the most effective and positive words to speak, you recondition the mind to achieve what it is you want, instead of what you don’t want. Therefore, things tend to move in the direction you choose, based on the fact that you attract what you put your most attention on.
Consequently, when I say, “I can do this. It’s possible to make this happen,” I am telling my mind and body that I can succeed and I am willing to take the actions to make it so. The Law of Attraction is simple if you understand that what you put out, you will get. So when someone asks you how you feel, say, “Great!” instead of “Fine” and make it a super day.

Hi Amy,
Interesting concepts you’re writing about. I’m a great believer in the LOA and have seen it working in my life.
I am a bit confused with regard to the URL for your site, since it would seem that it is affirming a negative thought.
Anyway, I love the topics you talk about in this blog, and hope to hear more from you - the conscious decision to hold positive thoughts and take positive actions is so important - especially in these challenging economic times!
Thanks for the message on ning!
Anne
