Change is often sparked by a deep unhappiness with our current circumstances. I’ve been there. I kept “putting up” with the parts of my life I didn’t like because I had no idea how to change them.
Trying to remain positive about my life was exhausting. Some days everywhere I looked I would be thinking, I don’t like this and I can’t stand that. I rarely spoke of any of it because I didn’t want to be a complainer and I would usually apologize if I did (major inner conflict happening there).
I heard someone say as long as we keep thinking about the things we don’t like, they will never change.
At first I found this was almost impossible. It seemed everything I didn’t like was slapping me in the face all day long.
But then I learned how to do it.
You take all of the things you don’t like, and use them to help you sort out what you want.
For example, instead of complaining that you don’t have enough money, you think about what you would like to do with extra money… “I want to have enough money to take my family on a holiday every year”.
What you want becomes your focus instead of what you see. It’s a little bit like mental gymnastics at first. Especially when you are in the habit of thinking about things you don’t like.
But magically, bit by bit over time, your brain begins to figure out a way to make what you want happen, and the universe conspires to help.
This is what they call the law of attraction.
