4 Steps to Feeling Good

By Motivational Speaker and Author, Sharmen Lane

Who hasn't heard of the Law of Attraction right? Most everyone in this day and age has because of the movie The Secret. The Law of Attraction has been around for centuries. I personally have known about and been practicing the Law of Attraction for over ten years.

There are many different ways to think about this universal law. Thoughts become things, what you think about, you bring about, what you send out is what you get back, like attracts like, and many others. There is a fantastic book titled "Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting," by Lynn Grabhorn. It really gives an easy and simple approach to understanding and using the Law of Attraction.

In a nutshell, feelings have vibrational frequencies. Good, happy feelings have high vibrations, bad feelings have low vibrations. Have you ever had a day that started off badly and continued to "snowball?" Most of us have. However, the opposite can be true as well. Surely, if you think hard enough you can remember a time that a day started off terrible and quickly shifted to be the most extraordinary day. Likelihood is the day that started off badly, you didn't let it get to you and you maintained a positive disposition, allowing the day to end up great.

So, what can you do to keep the good vibes flowing even when bad things happen? That's a great question. We all have something that makes us happy or feel good. What is it for you? Take a moment to think about all the things that make you happy. Do you have a song that you love, a childhood memory, an adult memory, a picture that just makes you smile when you look at it? All these are things that you can use as tools to pick you up when you are feeling down. That will change the vibrations that you are sending out, thereby allowing good vibrations to come back.

Here is a four step process that will allow you to change your feeling and attract what you want into your life.

1. Observe your current situation and identify how you feel about it.
2. Now think about how you would like it do be different.
3. Next remember your happy thought. (Song, picture, memory, etc)
4. Think about what you want as if you already had it while feeling the good feelings of your happy thought.

This process will remind you to pay attention to how you are feeling and give you a way to focus your attention on what you do want instead of what you don't. The worst case scenario is, you will feel more positive simple because you are thinking of something that makes you happy.

Change your thoughts, change your mind. ~ Wayne Dyer
