The Law of Attraction

Image
The Law of Attraction You may have heard of the 'law of attraction'. This is the idea that what you put out into the world ultimately dictates what you get back; that as you act, so you will become. Again this might sound like nonsense – but stop and think about how this might work. Acting like someone who is very successful might mean dressing smarter, acting more assertive and confident, taking on more responsibility and even walking taller. If you genuinely believe you are successful or destined for success, then you will exude this certainty in everything you do. As a result, you will give off a number of signs that tell people you are successful and confident. They will see you 'strutting' in your smart suit and they will think 'there's a successful and capable person'. And you know what? They will be more likely to offer you more work, to give you promotions and to generally help you to succeed as a result. You've heard the expression

Is this you?

      Have you ever felt wronged in your past relationship? Or rather... that you had a right to be right?   Take this typical scenario:   You've had a long day. You've been up since the crack of dawn. You made up the bed (because your partner forgot to), you got the kids ready for school - and you helped them with their homework. You made dinner. AND you had your own work to deal with on top of that. Your partner, on the other hand, has had a pretty easy day. He or she comes home all chipper, reporting a big win at work. Maybe he was even treated to lunch by the boss. So at the end of the day, all you want to do is tune out and tune in to a favorite TV show. It's the least you can ask, right? And you can't believe it when your partner wants control of the remote. Wait a minute. Doesn't he realize that it's your turn to relax and unwind? Shouldn't he give in a little? So you let your point of view be kno

How to Make Your Own Luck by Changing Your Thoughts

Image
What many people don’t realize is that they can actually become luckier by changing their beliefs about themselves and what will happen in their lives. This sounds absurd, but it makes a lot of sense once you understand the logic behind it all. People tend to think that luck is something that is out of their control. After all, that's pretty much the definition of luck; luck is good things happening to you often that you did not directly cause. Luck is winning the lottery, luck is finding a tenner on the floor and luck is being in the right place at the right time and meeting the person who becomes the love of your life/offers you that amazing job. But while luck might seem out of our hands, we all know some people who just seem to have 'all the luck'. These are the people who have all the good things happen to them and almost seem to have a charmed life… And for one person to be that consistently lucky? It seems a little statistically improbable! So what's r

What are limiting beliefs

I’m going to start out by providing a few examples of limiting beliefs. This can be a somewhat abstract concept to grasp, but when you see them laid out before you, it becomes much easier to understand. The Person Who Can’t Start Their Own Busines Let’s say that you have a business idea. You’re going to provide coaching for small businesses and help them get up and started. You’ll charge a relatively low flat fee, but then the company will pay you a slightly larger fee a year later as long as their earnings have passed a certain threshold. Nice idea! Your model involves selling directly to the customer, and the way you plan to do this is by looking for them on Instagram. You will find people who post about a business plan, then you’ll private message them and simply start chatting. If you spot an opportunity to sell, you’ll pounce. That’s the “soft sell” approach, and it means you can build a relationship and demonstrate your value before you charge. Here’s the problem t

Eliminate self limiting beliefs

  We all have goals and aims, and we all have an idea of what we would like our lives to be like. Despite this though, many of us fail to reach those goals or t o actualize our dreams. Why is this? Or to put it another way, what is it that’s holding you back? There’s a good chance that you already know what the answer is likely to be. It’s you. All of us have at some point been responsible for getting i n our own way at one point or another. Either because of limiting beliefs or because of poor habits and lack of discipline. How many times have you decided that you want to make a change in your life by getting into shape, or starting a new business, or starting a new job... only to then make zero progress in those areas? What possible reason could you have for this? Often it comes down to a lack of faith in yourself. It comes down to limiting beliefs about who you are, what you’re worth... eve n how you’re meant to behave! Limiting beliefs are incredibly destructive,
