Thoughts are vibration.Once you ask for what you want, the Universe delivers. It is the vibration of our thoughts that create allowing or disallowing of what we have asked the Universe for. In other words, the way you tune your thoughts affects your ability to allow your desired results to come to you. The law of attraction responds to your feelings which are caused by your thoughts.
Think of the aspect of you that is always connected and aware of your inner light and beauty, the part that is attuned to All That Is. When you are present and in the flow, you are aware of your divine nature. You will naturally be filled with love and joy. This is when you are dialed in for allowing your results to arrive.
But, being in the world, by its very nature, is about experiencing challenges and opportunities to learn and expand. So, we are often faced with experiences that bring up frustration, disappointment and more. These situations are actually the source of the expansion of the Universe! By experiencing what we don't want, we become clearer about what we do want, we imagine and explore and new thoughts create new things in the world.
This is why we are here, to be creators and designers of wonderful expansion in the world. So, the secret is to decide that the uncomfortable experiences are welcome. Of course, this is not always our first inclination. You can use the challenge as a jumping off point for feeling better, though.
By knowing what you don't want, you can allow yourself to move your attention to what you do want. This is easiest if you start to recognize how you are feeling. Know that if you are having uncomfortable feelings, your thoughts can be gently nudged toward feelings that feel a little better. Gentle nudges work better than trying to go from a very low, unpleasant feeling to one that is very high. It is easy to move from hope to excitement. It would not be so easy to move from despair to excitement. Law of attraction is going to find similar vibrations to where you are currently vibrating. Inching a long by reaching for a thought that brings a little relief is the best way to improve your vibration.
How do you know if you are in the flow or not? You can tell by how you feel.
If you feel irritated, frustrated, angry, sad, discouraged, you may be focusing on what you don't have, rather than what you have asked for. Usually it is difficult to tell just be naming the feeling. Anger can feel great, if you've been feeling sad, but not so great, if you have been feeling hopeful. That's why "relief" is such a good indicator.
Sloppy thinking is when you notice that your thoughts don't lead to gradually improved emotions and then you don't do anything to change them. Of course, there aren't any thoughts that are inherently bad. They are part of your response to the experiences you have in the world. What you do with the thoughts is the key. To continue to focus on thoughts that keep you feeling the same uncomfortable feelings is what I call sloppy thinking.
To release yourself from a habit of sloppy thinking:
* Ask yourself if you are enjoying this thought
* Ask yourself if you keep repeating the same thoughts that you don't enjoy
* Ask yourself what thought would feel just a little better
* Choose a new thought that you can easily embrace, one that lifts your emotions to create a sense of relief.
It doesn't matter what others think of you or your thoughts or feelings. What matters is that you experience relief. The law of attraction is always at work in our lives. Choose thoughts that raise your vibration. You will naturally begin to attract like minded folks.
Slowly melt it away! When you've struggled with something for a long time, your focus is on what you don't like. This builds resistance. And with resistance you actually create more of what you don't want. You've probably heard the adage "what you resist persists". And I am sure that you have experienced tension, anger and frustration and seen how they build, creating more and more resistance. When you have resolved to change something in your life, it is not helpful to push against it.
So what can you do? Resistance can be released gently and gradually. Instead of focusing on what you don't want or can't have, you focus on what you do want. Whenever you notice that you might have gotten sloppy in your thoughts, you can notice resistance and reach for a feeling of relief by changing your focus to something that feels just a little better.
Feel the resistance melt away as you turn your attention to better feeling thoughts. Your deliberate effort to find an improved vibration will open the door to more of what you desire because you will be releasing resistance and allowing yourself to connect with your own high vibrations.
