your first wish

[bigi]

hi guys,

I wanted to know which was your first wish that u tried with LOA. For example, im trying to get a 50quid note with a cross on it before new year... did somebody else tried small materials things to have a prove by him/herself that LOA really works on the beginning?

Hi again :-)

For me it was  a training period for the end of my studies, then parking spaces,  self confidence, positive events, gifts form people, then I attracted a flat that I bought, before that a car, a cheap but new bed for my elder son, furniture for my house for free, a fridge a got for free as well and I won the lotary few times..... my list will be long :-)

Peace and love to you!

My first wish was to gain more self confidence. Second was a better work conditions. They are both manifesting very good. People love me at work, and I even have 3 days free this week, and other days I work 8 hrs a day. That is  a lot better than before. I thought that it will never be possible. Most important is that I now know for sure that it works. I believed in LOA before, but I had my doubts. I knew that there must be something even before I started reading about this on internet.  Now I'm sure.

Hey Galia Hello!
How can LOA help us in attracting self confidence & positive events can you please explain.

[Galina Shibileva]

Hi!

Well, when you start using consciously  the LoA, you inevitably start doing inner work and this is the so called personal developpement.
If you want to have positive events you need to be positive yourself first and send positive thoughts and so vibrations to the Universe/God in order to take those back...

LoA works all the time since always - the point is that not everyone is conscious using it...

To gain self confidence, you have to start picture yourself like a self-confident person and saying if possible affirmations like : "I'm a very self-confident person now"  or you make the so-called "afformation" - you turn your affirmation in question - "Why am I so self-confident?"

Affirmations and visualizatons are to be done morning when you wake up and evening before sleeping...

I think you can find some usefull infos while reading about 2 persons to start- Emile Coué and John Kehoe....

Be blessed!

                                           Self­Esteem


Your self­esteem can be thought of as the extent to which you value yourself and see yourself as a
good, worthwhile, acceptable person.  Low self­esteem occurs when you unfairly criticize yourself,
you push yourself hard with negative, critical pressure, and you believe the negative evaluations
others give you more than the positive ones.  Low self­esteem causes anxiety and stress from two
sources:  1) the negative pressure and criticism you heap on yourself, and 2) worrying too much about
gaining acceptance and validation from others.

To increase self­esteem (and lower your anxiety), it is important to surround yourself with positive,
supportive people.  However, your self­esteem will be mostly made or broken by how you treat
yourself.  You can measure your self­esteem by asking yourself:  would I treat my best friend the way
I treat myself?  If not, some self­esteem work is needed. To increase your self­esteem, consistently
review and practice the following:

1) Stop Criticizing Yourself:  Accept yourself exactly as you are and do not put yourself down.
Putting yourself down will tear down your spirit more than motivate you to change.  The trade off is
not worth it.  To accept yourself does not mean you are not driven to improve, but that you are
“acceptable” now and will be even better with additional growth and development.

2) Use Positive Motivation:  For the improvements you want in your life, practice thinking about and
visualizing what it will be like when you accomplish your goals.  Then, add some thoughts and
visualizations consisting of the steps you’ll need to take to make it happen.  This change in focus will
be more motivating and energizing than focusing on either a) the negative thing that will happen if
you don’t change, or b) all of the hard work it will take to make it happen.

3) Praise Yourself as Much as Possible:  Whenever you succeed at something, privately give yourself
credit for the part you played.  Be generous with yourself (but still truthful).  Praise yourself for your
accomplishments whenever you can to build confidence and self­ worth.

4) Allow Mistakes:  When you try and fail, that is a success in and of itself because the effort itself
will act as learning experience to bring you closer to your goals.  Be easy on yourself during your
setbacks and pick yourself up.  Life is a continual trial and error process.  The only true failure is to
give up, because then you are guaranteed failure.  When you fail, give yourself a break, congratulate
yourself on your effort, regroup, and try again.

5) Do Mirror Work:  Practice looking at yourself in the mirror often.  Look into your eyes and tell
yourself whatever positive true statements you can.  Remind yourself about your successes, what you
are good at, what you are capable of, what positive things lay ahead for yourself, how you are
improving, etc. Practice forgiving yourself and others in the mirror.  Mirror work is a very intimate,
vulnerable, exposing experience.  This uncomfortable feeling will let you know the power this
exercise has to help you change.

6) Be Happy and Relaxed NOW:  Allow yourself to be happy and relaxed NOW—not after everything
falls into place in your life.  As soon as one anxiety or stress is taken away from you, another may
soon follow. Therefore, allow yourself to enjoy life now, rather than waiting for happiness or
relaxation at some mythical point in the future.  Your life IS now—not later.
