The universal law of attraction has gotten a lot of attention in the past few years. The truth is it works. What you give you get. We are all made up of the same creative energy (our inner source), and how we use this energy determines what shows up for us in our everyday lives.
So the question is, would you like lack and depression? Or would you prefer abundance, happiness and enlightenment? If you opt for the latter, check out the list below to help get you there:
1. Look at your spouse and tell him how much you love him.
2. The next time you get cut off on the freeway, give that person a silent blessing that they have a safe journey.
3. The next time you have the urge to reach for a candy bar, choose a red delicious apple instead.
4. Start a daily log of positive affirmations.
5. Instead of watching TV at night, go outside and watch your Zen Fireflies.
6. Call a friend you haven't seen in a while and schedule a lunch date.
7. Participate in more online forums.
8. Give a compliment everyday to someone you know or to a stranger.
9. The next time you feel "bored" go to your local library.
10. Volunteer at an elderly care facility.
11. Spend more time outside in nature.
12. The next time you feel like saying something negative, focus on your breathing.
13. Take extra care when you get ready in the morning-as if you were scheduled to meet someone you greatly respect.
14. Express gratitude for things you normally take for granted (breathing, your fingers and toes, etc).
15. Respect your body by exercising every day (walk, stretch, lift weights, practice yoga, etc.).
16. Smile throughout the day, especially when you do not feel like it.
17. Adorn your home with fresh flowers.
18. Go to a museum and allow at 15 minutes on one piece of art.
19. Give a friendly hello and wave to your neighbor the next time you see him.
20. Read and listen to only inspirational material for a solid week.
21. Research different charities that are close to your heart, and give to them on a regular basis.
22. Call a family member you haven't contacted in a while and find out how they are doing.
23. Create order on your desk where you work.
24. Dispense with plastic water bottles and get a water filter.
25. Sing in the shower
26. Pretend you are like the magical fireflies - dance with abandon and let your light shine.
Practice these steps and before you know all kinds of wonderful people and situations will manifest in your life. Remember that living a joyful life is a process. Be patient and forgiving with yourself. In turn, you will naturally become more compassionate with others. When you begin to really understand the grand design of the Universe and how there is infinite supply you will wake up each day like you are the most fortunate being alive.
