As mentioned by Bob Proctor on the “Secret” DVD, there is an unlimited amount of wealth we can attract toward us. However, this comes with a precise way of attracting this – a definite method. Troward outlines this method below…
(Excerpted from “Secrets to the _Law of Attraction_” and “The Complete Thomas Troward Collection”)
IT is quite a mistake to suppose that we must restrict and stint ourselves in order to develop greater power or usefulness. This is to form the conception of the Divine Power as so limited that the best use we can make of it is by a policy of self-starvation, whether material or mental. Of course, if we believe that some form of self-starvation is necessary to our producing good work, then so long as we entertain this belief the fact actually is so for us. “Whatsoever is not of faith”–that is, not in accordance with our honest belief–”is sin”; and by acting contrary to what we really believe we bring in a suggestion of opposition to the Divine Spirit, which must necessarily paralyze our efforts, and surround us with a murky atmosphere of distrust and want of joy.
But all this exists in, and is produced by, our belief; and when we come to examine the grounds of this belief we shall find that it rests upon an entire misapprehension of the nature of our own power. If we clearly realize that the creative power in ourselves is unlimited, then there is no reason for limiting the extent to which we may enjoy what we can create by means of it. Where we are drawing from the infinite we need never be afraid of taking more than our share. That is not where the danger lies. The danger is in not sufficiently realizing our own richness, and in looking upon the externalized products of our creative power as being the true riches instead of the creative power of spirit itself.
If we avoid this error, there is no need to limit ourselves in taking what we will from the infinite storehouse: “All things are yours.” And the way to avoid this error is by realizing that the true wealth is in identifying ourselves with the spirit of opulence. We must be opulent in our thought. Do not “think money,” as such, for it is only one means of opulence; but think opulence, that is, largely, generously, liberally, and you will find that the means of realizing this thought will flow to you from all quarters, whether as money or as a hundred other things not to be reckoned in cash.
We must not make ourselves dependent on any particular form of wealth, or insist on its coming to us through some particular channel–that is at once to impose a limitation, and to shut out other forms of wealth and to close other channels; but we must enter into the spirit of it. Now the spirit is Life, and throughout the universe Life ultimately consists in circulation, whether within the physical body of the individual or on the scale of the entire solar system; and circulation means a continual flowing around, and the spirit of opulence is no exception to this universal law of all life.
When once this principle becomes clear to us we shall see that our attention should be directed rather to the giving than the receiving. We must look upon ourselves, not as misers’ chests to be kept locked for our own benefit, but as centers of distribution; and the better we fulfill our function as such centers the greater will be the corresponding inflow. If we choke the outlet the current must slacken, and a full and free flow can be obtained only by keeping it open. The spirit of opulence–the opulent mode of thought, that is–consists in cultivating the feeling that we possess all sorts of riches which we can bestow upon others, and which we can bestow liberally because by this very action we open the way for still greater supplies to flow in. But you say, “I am short of money, I hardly know how to pay for necessaries. What have I to give?”
The answer is that we must always start from the point where we are; and if your wealth at the present moment is not abundant on the material plane, you need not trouble to start on that plane. There are other sorts of wealth, still more valuable, on the spiritual and intellectual planes, which you can give; and you can start from this point and practice the spirit of opulence, even though your balance at the bank may be nil. And then the universal _Law of Attraction_ will begin to assert itself. You will riot only begin to experience an inflow on the spiritual and intellectual planes, but it will extend itself to the material plane also.
If you have realized the spirit of opulence you cannot help drawing to yourself material good, as well as that higher wealth which is not to be measured by a money standard; and because you truly understand the spirit of opulence you will neither affect to despise this form of good, nor will you attribute to it a value that does not belong to it; but you will co-ordinate it with your other more interior forms of wealth so as to make it the material instrument in smoothing the way for their more perfect expression. Used thus, with understanding of the relation which it bears to spiritual and intellectual wealth, material wealth becomes one with them, and is no more to be shunned and feared than it is to be sought for its own sake.
It is not money, but the love of money, that is the root of evil; and the spirit of opulence is precisely the attitude of mind which is furthest removed from the love of money for its own sake. It does not believe in money. What it does believe in is the generous feeling which is the intuitive recognition of the great law of circulation, which does not in any undertaking make its first question, How much am I going to get by it? but, How much am I going to do by it? And making this the first question, the getting will flow in with a generous profusion, and with a spontaneousness and rightness of direction that are absent when our first thought is of receiving only.
We are not called upon to give what we have not yet got and to run into debt; but we are to give liberally of what we have, with the knowledge that by so doing we are setting the law of circulation to work, and as this law brings us greater and greater inflows of every kind of good, so our out-giving will increase, not by depriving ourselves of any expansion of our own life that we may desire, but by finding that every expansion makes us the more powerful instruments for expanding the life of others. “Live and let live” is the motto of the true opulence.

Are you aware that there is no such thing as coincidence and nothing happens by chance? Every single event that is projected onto the screen of space and time (appears in your life) was produced by the use (or misuse) of energy and Spiritual Laws. Notice I said laws! The Law of Attraction does not act alone!
Before anything can be attracted to you it is vital to understand the time-tested Principle of Power. Imagination is your key to real power. The Inner You lives in a world that is ruled by Imagination. Learn how to use it and all Spiritual Laws and you will begin to transform your desires into reality. Goals are achieved when you can focus on the realization of your dream and live in the feeling of fulfillment, in complete confidence, regardless of appearances.
Are you pleased with your current reality?
Your mental habits are building your finances, health, career, and relationships into form. The most important factor in releasing the Law of Attraction for financial success concerns your mental blueprints and beliefs about yourself. You become what you believe and feel to be true. Emotionalized belief can block out, repel or attract to us that which is consistent with our images and beliefs.
Images of the Mind: Blueprints for Life.
The undisciplined mind finds it challenging to claim a result which is denied by their outer senses. Most of us are creatures of habit. Many of our habits are fear-based. Doubts and fears rob us of our deepest dreams. If you want answers as to why you have or don’t have what you desire, look no further than your habits of thinking and feeling towards yourself and others.
Once you evict the mental-cause that is producing poverty and develop a mindset of success fueled from joy, only then will you achieve lasting results. It takes repeated effort and inner conviction to build success through repetition.
From this moment forward refuse to entertain, think about, or talk about failure. Once you accept the idea that you were born to succeed because the Infinite Within You cannot fail, is when the Law of Attraction will go into motion and begin to attract to you everything you need to achieve your goal.
The key to successful living using the Law of Attraction is to know how to tip the scales in the direction of joy and bliss! Your feelings are your point of attraction. In order to manifest your heart’s desires it is essential to practice feeding your mind new ideas until all fear based gibberish stops dominating your self-talk. And it will, if you will persist. Housed within you is the code to succeed. Use it and you will become a living magnet to wealth and success.

There are two questions that we are frequently asked regarding the Law of Attraction. The primary questions are usually about money and how to obtain it, but the other question that is frequently asked is: “How do I find the confidence in myself to feel that I can apply the Law of Attraction adequately to attain all my desires?” This is a valid question and is one worth further consideration.
It is a good idea to start with how you feel about yourself. If you are concerned about others’ opinions and how people feel about you, you’ll want to change your perceptions of yourself. When you worry about what others will think of you, this only attracts to you more people and situations that bring you more concerns about yourself. How do you stop the cycle? How do you gain the confidence to make your own decisions without another’s opinions? How do you ‘not care’ when you actually do care what people think of you?
Lee and I have a mantra we go by: Don’t be who you think you are, be who you wish to be.
Now let’s examine this thought a step further: Don’t be who you think others think you are; be who you want to be, not what others tell you that you are.
It sounds easy and, believe it or not, it is. Think about it. Is it important to care what others think of you? If it is important, then why? Is it going to be the end of the world if someone doesn’t like you? Is it the ‘end all be all’ if someone looks at you the wrong way? It feels like it is the end if you let it affect you.
Think about the freedom in not worrying about what others think of you. How can you gain some of that freedom? By letting others have their perceptions of you and not buying into what they seemingly see. Who knows you better? Have these other people ever walked in your shoes? So why do they have some strange power over you to make you feel that you need to care what they think? You have the freedom to create who you want to be. No one can change that.
So who do you want to be? If you could create all the qualities for yourself, what would they be? Would you be happy as that person you just created? And assuming you become this person you created, does it still matter that you’ll likely have the same amount of detractors offering up more negative opinions?
Be who you wish to be; be that girl/guy who is the one that you would admire and who is happy with life. Start being that person now. You can take on the traits you desire now. See yourself as that adventuresome hang glider surrounded by friends who truly see and appreciate you for who you are; a wonderful human being.
Take a look in the mirror. Look yourself right in the eyes and tell yourself, without looking away, what you like about that person in the mirror. If there are qualities that you wish to possess, tell yourself how great it is to have those qualities. You may feel like you are ‘faking’ it at first but your subconscious doesn’t know the difference between real and fake so keep telling it until you feel the shift. You will become the person that you are wishing to be. Your former self will merge with this new confident person. Hold your shoulders back and walk with confidence. Even if you don’t feel confident, by taking the confident walk, you body receives those signals. Others will see confidence and in turn you will feel confident.
When you have this newfound confidence and understand that your world is the only world you should create and that everyone else is creating their world, you can choose to be an actor in their play (their world) or just choose to be an extra in their play with a small part and be a lead role in your play. The more attention you put toward another’s perceptions, the more they become a part of your world and their part in your play gets bigger according to the attention that you give it.
You are the one in control of it. You decide who you want to be in your play. Give them a small part or a larger part. It is entirely up to you who you give more attention to.
Once you have gained the confidence in yourself and know exactly what you want to be and have no doubts, the Universe will bring more confident situations and people to you that will compliment your own wonderful confident vibrations.

If your law firm marketing plan follows typical law firm marketing strategies employed by many other practices, you are failing miserably and you know it. Yet other firms out there have a steady stream of clients in and out of their offices. You see them every day: consistently busy and constantly entertaining new clients that afford them wardrobes of expensive suits and prestigious new sports cars.
You see them making it work; making their firm all it can be. You’ve got to do something to make your practice successful, too.
The accounting firm featured on the cover of the business journal in your waiting room is well-known nationwide. The CEO of that firm emerges from the elevator. Your heart leaps as he heads your way. Forget about it! He’s heading for the law firm down the hall, just they way they all do. You won’t even get a second glance.
Once again, you feel like shoving everything off of the coffee table with a frustrated swipe of your fists. You grit your teeth and glare at the neighboring law firm. What are they doing that you aren’t? You’re sick and tired of being out done, but don’t know how to fix it. Here are several law firm marketing mistakes you may be making and what you can do to fix them.
* You have failed to convince them of the value your service gives to them specifically. Solution: Go back and do more research on your target market’s “points of pain.” Use more of these in all of your conversations with prospects.
* They don’t trust you. Solution: Develop a list of specific things you can do to build your credibility. Examine your personal image: your clothes, your mannerisms, your listening skills. Analyze your business image: your office location, your office furniture, the quality of your stationary, your business cards, etc.
* They perceive your cost out weighs your value. Solution: Either temporarily
reduce your price or immediately find ways to significantly increase your
perceived value.
* They don’t believe your benefits or values because you haven’t demonstrated
them. Solution: Find a way to give them a FREE sample of your services.
* Their risk seems too great. Solution: Find creative ways to reduce or eliminate
the risk of working with you.
* They don’t feel like you listen to them. Solution: Stop talking so much during your presentation (lawyers often talk too much when they are either nervous or feeding their ego). Ask more questions. Develop a list of questions to ask prospects. Work on reading their body language. Use active listening skills and reflective feedback. Use the 25/75 Rule. A good attorney talks less than 25% of the time during the initial interview. They ask good questions and then listen 75% of the time. The interesting thing is that prospects will feel you are more competent the less you talk, the more you listen and the better your questions are.
* Prospects will not hire you when they don’t want you, don’t believe they need you or can’t afford you. Solution: Cut your losses and move on. They are
currently NOT in your target market.
If you are tired of buying the cheap suits off the bargain racks and driving the foreign economy car that gets great mileage and matches the car the old retired woman down the street drives, then do something about it! To be a winner you must act like a winner and that includes successful marketing techniques.

Just in Time for Mother’s Day If you have never wanted to play a little joke on your mother-in-law then maybe this gift guide isn’t for you. On the other hand, if there has been no love lost in your relationship and you want to make your mother-in-law’s life as miserable as she’s made yours, here are a few ideas to satisfy that dark side and have a little fun in the process.Complicated Universal Remote No universal remote, that we’re aware of, configures itself but some of these devices can drive people crazy. One unit that comes up below average from Retrevo’s value and user sentiment ratings is the Philips SRU9600 which gets mixed reviews and costs just under $100. Some users complain about the ease-of-use on Sony RM-AX4000 which costs a little over $100. You can provide hours of frustration and misery for your mother in-law as she tries to configure or use one of the remotes.Just About Any Wireless Router Dump a wireless router in the lap of your mother in-law, tell her all about the joys of wireless computing and then split. Just don’t answer the phone for a few days while she tries to configure the router to get it to talk to the ten pound laptop you recommended she buy. The Linksys WRVS4400N gets below average sentiment ratings along with the Netgear WNR854T. Save those phone messages too! They may provide hours of entertainment enjoyment to you and all your friends.GPS Devices Guaranteed to Get Your Mother-in-Law Lost Whether it’s a small handheld GPS or one on the car dashboard, GPS devices are supposed to make it easy to enter destinations and then get to them. The Magellan Triton 1500 and Alpine PMD-B200 show up on the bottom of Retrevo’s list for good value and ratings. So when your mother in-law complains about the GPS you bought her, just say, “I’ve never had any trouble using my GPS.”Cameras That Takes Blurry Pictures Buying a digital camera that takes lousy pictures may be harder than you think. Most cameras are idiot proof and some of the better cameras with image stabilization and face technology make it downright hard to take a bad picture. So providing your mother in-law with an idiot-proof product that can make her feel like an idiot is priceless. Retrevo can recommend a couple of real bargains in the extreme low-end camera category that will most likely take a less than perfect picture. The Argus DC1512 barely has enough mega pixels to be called a camera and can be purchased for under $30 while the Micro Innovations 3120 costs even less at $10.80 and also gets low ratings.Cheap MP3 Player Your mother-in-law won’t be the envy of her bridge club with these low-end MP3 players and they probably won’t sound that great either. The Coby MP-C756 MP3 player barely has enough memory to hold a few songs and doesn’t get the greatest ratings while the Nextar MA933A holds even fewer songs than the Coby and gets low marks for the display quality. One reviewer notes that the font was “too small for older eyes.” Perfect!Now Seriously Folks. . . We all know you would never do anything like this to your poor old mother-in-law so just in case you want to get yourself or someone you love the best values in gadgets or gear, you can find reviews and manuals for all popular electronics like GPS, HDTV, Digital Cameras, Camcorders, and more on Retrevo.com
A fun loving consumer electronic geek that likes to bring electronics with her when she goes camping, hiking, and the great outdoors!

The Law of Attraction is working constantly, with or without your consent. Start by changing your core beliefs. Core beliefs are what you have acquired from your parents, teachers, environment, and culture and carried from childhood into adulthood and would swear they are heaven ordained. Get rid of any of these old beliefs and habits that are not consistent with where you want to go in life.
Opening your mind to new ideas and Creative Thought processes is a big leap of faith and can change core belief. I know having blind faith and believing in the unseen is a big pill to swallow for most. A great example of faith is your belief that the sun will rise tomorrow you don’t know how, but you do know it will.
When people are not totally able to see clearly or understand the Science of the Law of Attraction, they are quick to say it doesn’t work. Instead of desiring and allowing the process to work, people let doubt slip in and take over their thought process. Contrary to belief, there is no scientific evidence that the Law of Attraction actually works, it’s about having faith. Be decisive and establish that you want change in your life and that may mean leaving behind core beliefs such as: I’m not good enough, I’m not worthy, They won’t let me because, I’m to short/tall, my mother/father etc. told me that it was wrong, you don’t have enough experience, and of course, you have to wait your turn or time. Don’t let any of these excuses or old beliefs stop you, reprogram yourself start by getting a clear mental picture of where you are now. Then move forward by asking pertinent questions like the following:
- What stops me from having my desire?
- What additional resources might I need?
- Am I visualizing?
- Am I feeling the essence of what I want?
- Am I being truthful and honest with myself?
These questions will help you think clear, specific, focused thoughts and with willpower, bring your desire into material form.
Use a journal to record your thoughts, desires, and answers. Write down old childhood beliefs and compare them with your new ones are they still relevant now? Let the journal become your blueprint for success and place to document your progress during the day.
Ponder:
1. Act now.
2. What are you grateful for?
3. See yourself free of any mental limitations.
4. Are you aligned with your desire?
5. What makes you feel euphoric?
Affirmation: There is no lack or limitations in my life.
And now, let’s review the Law of Attraction:
1. Decide what you want.
2. State what you desire in the positive with enough emotion to make it feel physically real.
3. Think repeatedly during the day about your desire and visualize it.
4. Realign your thinking, using your willpower to get started.
5. Mentally and physically sync with whatever you desire to the point of manifestation.
6. Understand all possibilities are only limited by the thoughts in your mind.
7. Start pretending, also known as “Acting as If”.
8. Be specific: include the size, shape, color, texture and when you want your desire.
9. Use affirmations and empowering songs to change old beliefs until the new, positive ones become a habit.
10. Do no give it your attention/point of focus to any situation or experience that you don’t want. Simply put, do not entertain the thought.
11. Post pictures of your dreams, desires, and goals everywhere and visualize being in possession of them.
12. Believe, have faith, be confident, speak in the positive, and take personal responsibility.
13. Keep a journal; write specific details about your desire.
14. Model someone who has the positive traits you desire.
15. Stay focused and on point. Read, review, reprogram.
16. Start small, gain confidence in creating and manifesting.
17. Become consciously aware of you and your surroundings.
18. Believe and know that you are entitled to wealth, health, success and abundance. Expect that it will yours.
19. Acknowledge that you are a mental magnet and will attract to you everything you are thinking and feeling.
20. Enjoy every minute of the process, in the now.

Most readers would probably have heard or read Napoleon Hill’s highly acclaimed “Think And Grow Rich”. Many people have also claimed that the book changed their way thinking and have seen their personal wealth grow.
Now then, if people can think and grow rich, then can people think and grow thin and slim? Can thinking to be thin help you to lose weight or thinking fat help you gain weight?
Since the released of Rhonda Byrne’s “The Secret” DVD and book, the Law of Attraction or LOA for short, which is the essence of her work has swept the world by storm arousing much renewed interest in metaphysical science and new age spiritual thinking.
If you are not familiar with the law of attraction, then simple definition of the law of attraction is that you attract to you what are in your dominant thoughts and what you are focused on.
In other words, you get what you think and focused on. Of course there are more to it than just merely wishful thinking and if you want to know more, the internet is full of websites on the application of law of attraction.
Experts and teachers of the law of attraction such as Bob Proctor, John Assaraf and some others who appeared in “The Secret” explained that recent breakthroughs in neuroscience along with understanding mental laws, reveal why the “law of attraction” works regardless of whether you look at the theory from a metaphysical or a scientific point of view in a Larry King show in 2007.
Scientists have long known that your subconscious is completely neutral and impartial and it will carry out any instructions you give it by your conscious or logical mind. That means that you can use the law of attraction to attract love, to lose or gain weight, attract wealth, quit smoking or whatever you desire. To skeptics, this sounds too good to be true but to believers, there are too many anecdotal evidence that the law of attraction works without any exception is difficult to ignore.
Unfortunately, many of us are still running negative programs we picked up from others as children when our subconscious minds were totally open and impressionable, or which we have developed over the years as a result of repetition of our own negative thinking.
Yes, many of you may say to me that you have been thinking of losing weight, but is still getting fatter. You see, when you are thinking of losing weight, you are using your conscious mind, but what is your subconscious mind thinking? Here are some examples :-
a) I am fat, therefore I need to lose weight – This thinking cancels out each other. Yes, you want to lose weight, but you are also thinking about being fat. The law of attraction does not react to whether you want it or do not want it, it just delivers to you what you are thinking and focused on and in this instance, you are thinking about being fat as well as losing weight.
b) My family members are fat, so I am genetically programed to be fat – I don’t need to explain this further. It is a self limiting thought and guess what? If you think that you are programed to be fat, then you are. You won’t be doing anything to change the status quo because you will think that it is useless to do so subconsciously. Simple as that.
c) I wish to be thin – Now merely wishing is not good enough, the law of attraction will just entertain your wish. You will always be wishing and wishing and wishing.
d) It is difficult to lose weight – Then you will never lose weight because it will always be difficult for you to lose weight.
So when you do not lose weight even if you have always wanted to, it could be because of your self limiting subconscious thoughts and there could even be hundreds if not thousands of negative programming in our subconscious mind not only in the subject of physical body shape but on other matters such as wealth, health, love and the list goes on.
These negative beliefs are programed into our subconscious mind and most of the time we do not even know that they are there sabotaging us. These thoughts then become our beliefs, habits and automatic behavior.
To change your end results, you need to overwrite the negative programing and instill new positive programing into your subconscious mind. If you are getting more of the same or negative results in your life such as not being able to attract more wealth, good health or the body shape you desire, then you have probably been unconsciously running old negative programs and reinforcing them with daily negative thought patterns.
There are many techniques you can use to get rid of limiting beliefs and negative thoughts such as using goal setting, affirmations and creative visualizations.
I will not describe in detail how these methods work here as books have been written on them. However, from personal experiences, the best method is to use self hypnotism to get rid of these negative programing.
You see, instead of spending a lot of money for a hypnosis therapist to help you find out your self limiting negative thoughts in your subconscious mind and re-program new positive thoughts into it, you can now do it yourself through self hypnosis sessions through CDs or MP3s.
So, how to use self hypnotism to lose weight or gain weight? Well, that is for another article or you click the link in my author’s box and read about them.

Most of you would probably be familiar with the best selling book “Think And Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. Many people have claimed that the book changed their thinking and have seen their personal wealth grow in abundance. If people can think and grow rich, then can people think and grow thin? Can thinking to be thin help you to lose weight or conversely, for thin people, help them to gain extra weight?
Ever since the released of Rhonda Byrne’s “The Secret” DVD and book in 2006, The Law of Attraction (LOA), which is the main theme of her work swept the world by storm. If you are unfamiliar with the law of attraction, then the simplistic definition of the law of attraction is that you attract to you what are in your dominant thoughts and what you are focused on. In other words, thoughts become things. That means that you get what you think and focused on.
Of course there are more to it than just merely wishful thinking and if you want to know more, the internet is full of articles on the application of law of attraction.
Experts in the law of attraction such as Bob Proctor, John Assaraf, John Demartini and some others who appeared in “The Secret” explained that recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, quantum physics, metaphysics along with the understanding mental laws, reveal why the “law of attraction” and “positive thinking” work regardless of whether you look at the theory from a metaphysical or a scientific point of view in a Larry King show. Oprah Winfrey also explored this subject several times in her TV programs.
Scientists have long known that your subconscious mind is completely neutral and impartial and it will carry out any instructions the conscious mind give to it. In other words, you can use the law of attraction to attract love, to lose or gain weight, attract wealth, quit smoking or whatever you desire.
Unfortunately, most if not all of us are still running negative programs we picked up from others as children when our subconscious minds were very open, receptive and impressionable, or which we have developed over the years as a result of repetition of our own negative thinking and life experiences.
Yes, many of you may say to me now that you have been thinking of losing weight, but is still getting fatter and fatter. You see, when you are thinking of losing weight, you are using your conscious mind, but what is your subconscious mind thinking? Let me list a few examples :-
a) I am too fat, so I need to lose weight – This thinking cancels out each other. Yes, you want to lose weight, but you are also thinking about being fat. The law of attraction does not react to whether you want it or do not want it, it just delivers to you what you are thinking and focused on.
b) My family members are fat, so I am genetically programed to be fat – I don’t need to explain this further. This is a self limiting thought and guess what? If you think you are fat, then you are. Period.
c) I wish to be thin – Now merely wishing is not good enough, the law of attraction will just entertain your wish. You will always be wishing.
d) It is difficult to lose or gain weight – Then you will never lose or gain weight because it will always be difficult for you to lose weight.
So when you do not lose or gain weight even if you have always wanted to, it could be because of your self limiting subconscious thoughts. Some of these limiting thoughts are so embedded in your subconscious mind that you are not even aware that they are there.
Our own thoughts, when repeated often enough are programed into our subconscious mind and most of the time we do not even know that they are there sabotaging us. These thoughts then become our beliefs, habits and automatic behavior.
To change your results, you must overwrite the negative programming and instill new positive ones into your subconscious mind. If you are getting more of the same or negative results in your life such as not being able to attract more wealth, good health or the body shape that you desire, then you have probably been unconsciously running old negative programs and reinforcing them with daily negative thought patterns.
How do we get rid of limiting beliefs and negative thoughts then?
There are many techniques you can use to get rid of limiting believes and negative thoughts such as using goal setting, positive affirmations, meditations and creative visualizations. I will not describe in detail how these methods work here as many books and articles about them. However, from personal experiences, the best method is using self hypnosis.
What is self hypnosis? You see, instead of spending alot of money for a hypnosis therapist to help you find out your self limiting negative thoughts (there may be thousands of them) in your subconscious mind and re-program new positive thoughts into it, you can now do it yourself through self hypnosis sessions through CDs or MP3s. This will save you a lot of money and time.
So if you want to gain or lose weight to get the bodyshape you want, change your negative beliefs and insert positive ones and by the law of attraction, you will begin to attract events, people, books, food, circumstances etc to help you get the bodyshape that you want. Believe it and see the magic unfurl before you.
