The Importance of Emotions and the Law of Attraction

Ever wondered where your thoughts and your perspective on any given situation come from?  Well I can tell you it’s not from the situation itself, but from the emotion that the situation brings up inside of you.  You may never have seen a correlation between one and the other before but individual thought and emotion are inextricably connected.  The emotions that we develop in our experiences in life help directly shape and affect all subsequent interactions, experiences, relationships, and setbacks.

The power of emotion has long been over looked.  It’s time that we started to see the direct relationship between emotion and thought in order to re channel our emotion-based thoughts to maximize our true potential in health, wealth, relationships, career, and all that makes up life as we know it.

So how do emotions and the law of attraction affect each other?

Emotions rule us.  By gaining a better understanding of our emotions, we will then be able to better examine ourselves, adjust our perspective, and succeed on the best path for us as individuals.  When we are able to control our emotions, only then will the law of attraction help us manifest what we want.  If you constantly angry, sad and fearful, no amount of visualization and affirmations will help you manifest what you want.

The law of of attraction works so effortless for some because those people maintain an optimistic outlook on events.  For example, two people may get turn down for a promotion.  One of them immediately engages in negative self talk and blames themselves for not working hard enough.  The other person believes that the raise wasn’t meant to be at the time and carry on determined to try again.

How can we explain this difference?  Simply put, different situations in life affect you differently from your peers.  Your experiences in life and perspectives color every occurrence, action, and reaction in your life.  Your experiences determine what career you will go after, what types of relationships you will have, and how far you will go to achieve your short and long term goals.  And remember because emotions rule these experiences, it is your emotions that determine just how happy and contented your life is.

Those of you who have a negative pattern of thinking, need to reprogram your emotions, thoughts and feelings to help the law of attraction manifest what you want.  Although this task may seem intimidating it is certainly not impossible to do so.

• Start by becoming more aware of your actions, reactions, etc. By introducing yourself to the problem, you can begin to start addressing it in a constructive and demonstrative way.
• Evaluate the possible origins of your actions, reactions, etc. By reminding yourself of what influential factors have shaped your emotions and thereby your thoughts, you can start to dispel any negative assumptions you once held, and replace them with more positive ones.
• Start proactively replacing your negative emotions with positive ones. Determine how you would like to feel and react, and be aware that you have the power at any given time to understand the emotion you are feeling and change that thought in order to bring forth a more powerful positive emotion.
• Get rid of negative influences. If you have people or factors in your life that are contributing to your negative thought patterns and emotions, release them.

Keep in mind that you always have a choice.  Maybe not a choice in what has happened, but a choice in how you react to what has happened.  Choose as much as possible to see the good in any situation and the emotions those thoughts bring forth will help you through your hardships.  Stay positive and the law of attraction will respond in kind.
