The aw Of Attraction Doesnt Understand Dont, Not or No
Have you ever wondered why sometimes we get something that we really didnt want in our lives? People often tell me, "I didnt ask for THAT!" In fact, some people think that the aw of Attraction isnt working for me when they attract something they didnt want into their lifebut it is. You see, the aw of Attraction doesnt hear the words dont, not or no (as in,I dont want that. Thats not what I want. No more of this!) it only responds to your feelings (your vibes) about that subject. If thinking about a certain situation causes you to feel upset, the aw of Attraction sends you MORE upsetting situations.
Heres a story sent to me by a reader, that demonstrates what I mean:I went to a charity event last night (for which I paid $50) and then I donated another $20 for raffle tickets for various prizes. The idea was to put your ticket into the bowl that represented the prize you wanted. Well, none of the prizes were exciting to me. I put my ticket into the bowl that seemed the best of the three. And as I did so, I said to myself, I really hope I dont win this silly haircut. Then I realized there were more than three prizes and I felt disappointed that I had put my ticket into that bowl, but it was too late to take it back. So, as they were calling the prize winners I again said I dont want that haircut. When they read out my number I was so disbelieving that I had to ask them to repeat the number because I could not believe that I had won it especially because I had said so clearly, I dont want it! well you know the ending of this story. I focused on it, said "dont" and focused on it again. DUH!! Now the fact is, it is a nice prize and I will use it what was I thinking?
Sometimes I use the illustration of the Internet Search Enginesif you go to www.goolge.ca and type in the words no pornwhat will you get? Thats rightPORN. The Search Engines dont understand Dont give methey just understand porn.
So, if I dont want something, how do I avoid attracting it into my life?
By answering this simple question: If I dont want this . . . what do I want? Sometimes it takes a while to formulate a positive answer to that question, but taking the time to do so is the ONY way to stop attracting what you dont want.
If I dont want clients who are late for our sessions, what do I want? I want clients who are on time or early. If I dont want to chase after clients to be paid for my services, what do I want? I want clients who joyfully pay by credit card or Echeck for my serviceson time or early.
If I fail to get clear about what I DO want, according to the aw of Attraction, I will attract that which I dont want into my life again and againfor until I place my focus on something else, what I dont want IS (by default) my focus. Can you think of something that has been occurring in your life, over and over again? If so, take a few minutesjust 5 or 10 minutes and do this exercise:
1. Write down on paper what this reoccurring event is. State what happens and how it makes you feel.
2. Then ask the question: If I dont want that to happen again, what DO I want to happen? or If I dont want to feel like that again, what DO I want to feel like?
Get a picture in your mind, an idea or a feeling for how you would like it to be. Find the words that most accurately express what you want and write them down on paper. Doing this will engage all your senses to such a degree that you will automatically begin to attract events and situations that are more enjoyable.
