<description><![CDATA[ <b>How to Use the Law of Attraction to Bring in More Money</b><br><br>Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it definitely buys our basic needs.  And if our basic needs aren’t met, from buying groceries to saving for retirement, we can be overcome with despair.  The number one secret to bringing in more money is not squandering more money on buying lottery tickets--it’s the law of attraction.  And you already have the law of attraction harnessed within the powers of your very own mind!  <br><br><b>The Money is in Your Mind</b><br><br>It’s all too easy for us to assume a “woe is me” attitude about making more money.  “I’ll never make more than $100,000 a year--I don’t have a MBA!”  “I’ve hit the glass ceiling.  I’ve been stuck at this salary for five years!”  When you think such negative thoughts, you’re putting the law of attraction in motion--to take away the very thing you want, which is more money!  <br><br>Rather, you have to use the law of attraction to bring you more money!  The very first step is to reprogram your mind.  First of all you have to sincerely believe that you deserve to have more money.  Put the law of attraction in motion by thinking positive thoughts:  “I say yes to receiving more money!”  “Beginning this year, I will make more than $75,000 a year!” “I am able to save at least $30,000 for retirement every year!”  <br><br>The more specific your thoughts are, the more powerful the law of attraction becomes.  But be careful and realistic; remember, the law of attraction can seemingly work against you, too.  For example, if you say, “I will get $100,000 by the end of this week,” it might come to you by getting in a serious car accident wherein you suffer serious long-term bodily injury--but you win an insurance award!  That’s too big a price to pay.  Hence the saying, “Beware of what you wish!”  That’s the law of attraction.  <br><br>Of course, you have to back up the law of attraction with practical action, too.  You can’t save $30,000 a year toward retirement if you spend all your money on the latest designer fashions, or if you don’t tuck your money away in investments to let it grow.  But you also can’t depend only on practical action while completely ignoring the law of attraction and worrying about a “lack” of money--then the universe will put the law of attraction in motion to find ways to deplete your money!  Utilizing the law of attraction in harmony with practical action will bring more money to you than you thought possible!  <br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<description><![CDATA[ <b>How to Use the Law of Attraction to Lose Weight and Be Fit</b><br><br>The very first step to losing weight and becoming fit is to harness the power of the law of attraction.  And you harness the power of the law of attraction simply within your very own mind!  Most people, especially women, hold a body image of themselves in their minds that does not correlate with reality.  In other words, we usually picture ourselves as bigger than we really are.  And this puts the law of attraction in gear to literally make us fatter!  <br><br><b>The Law of Attraction Physically Exists within the Human Body</b><br><br>Neural scientists have discovered that human thoughts and reactions release specific chemicals in the brain.  These chemicals are then distributed to every last cell in the body.  Then the chemicals fuse with proteins to literally produce the physical manifestation of the thought.  In other words, if you think “I’m fat,” the law of attraction sets up chemical reactions within your body that will literally make you fat!  The hypothalamus in the human brain releases neuro-peptides as a byproduct of thinking particular thoughts.  When cells are regularly bombarded with the same neuro-peptide over and over again, they become addicted to it.  Then you notice in the mirror that you’ve gained weight, and you think “I’m fat!”  Then the vicious cycle repeats.  When cells divide and multiply, the new cells created have more receptor sites for the addictive, negative neuro-peptide and fewer for healthy nutrients.  This is the law of attraction literally at work within your body!  <i>(Source:  From the movie What the Bleep Do we Know?)</i><br><br>To use the law of attraction to lose weight and be fit, you must first stop thinking negative thoughts about your body and insulting it aloud--whether that’s by yourself in front of the mirror or to others.  Then you must channel the law of attraction by thinking positive thoughts about your body and showering yourself with compliments.  Look in the mirror and say, “I’m beautiful!”  Even if you don’t believe it at first, say it anyway.  In no time at all, the law of attraction will show you the beautiful person you really are in the mirror.  Picture how you want yourself to look--be realistic.  Models on magazine covers often have eating disorders, they have breast implants, and their cellulite has been airbrushed away.  Use the law of attraction to see yourself with toned muscles and a lean figure.  <br><br>Of course, the law of attraction needs a little physical help from you so that you lose weight even faster.  You can’t sit on the couch all day eating Quarter Pounders and Biggie Fries and expect the law of attraction to work at its best!  You must back up the law of attraction with a nutritious and delicious diet, plus daily exercise.    <br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<description><![CDATA[ <b>How to Use the Law of Attraction to Create Better Relationships</b><br><br>Relationships take a lot of work.  Even if the two nicest people in the world enjoy a relationship together, sooner or later they’re going to get on each other’s nerves.  You can use the law of attraction to your benefit whenever your relationship hits a bumpy spot.  But by utilizing the powerful law of attraction, you can navigate bumpy spots in your relationship with ease--as well as keeping a healthy relationship going strong!   <br><br><b>The Law of Attraction:  Give, and You Shall Receive</b> <br><br>It can be disheartening when our partners disappoint us.  We may fear that they are no longer the person we fell in love with.  But really they are--they’re just human, that’s all.  Everyone makes mistakes and has bad days.  You can use the law of attraction to get back that person you fell in love with; just picture your partner being the loveable, fun, kind person he or she is capable of being.  <br><br>On the other hand, if you harbor resentment in your heart, the law of attraction will render you and your partner like opposing ends of a magnet--you will repel from one another!  If you keep score and constantly think of what a buffoon your partner is, the law of attraction will make only disharmony continue to erupt between you.  Likewise, if you withhold physical affection such as hugs or kisses, the tension between the two of you will only escalate, according to the law of attraction.  You must give love to receive love.  If you’re only sending out negative vibes, you will likewise only receive negative vibes in return.  <br><br>Rather, shower affection on your partner.  According to the law of attraction, when you give love, you receive love.  Love transforms even the grumpiest of people.  Love can be in the form of a hug, a back rub or an ecard--or all of the above!  It only takes a few minutes to show love.  When you initiate the law of attraction, your partner will again become the person you fell in love with in no time!  <br><br>You can even utilize the law of attraction to keep a healthy relationship going strong.  Regularly picture you and your partner laughing together and sharing love, especially when you’re showing physical affection, such as hugging.  Better yet, picture you and your partner having fun together when you’re old!  The law of attraction will help you reap a healthy, happy and fun relationship that lasts the rest of your lives.  <br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<title>Gratitude + the Law of Attraction = Plentitude</title>

<description><![CDATA[ <b>The Power of Gratitude</b><br><br>When you’re thankful for something, no matter how small it is, you’re initiating the law of attraction to get even more of what you want--and deserve.  Everyone deserves to have plenty, and there’s plenty to go around.  But sometimes we have a deep-seated, even subconscious, belief that we don’t deserve to have more.  And sometimes we don’t even appreciate what we do have!  Both types of negative thinking conspire to force the law of attraction to work against us, manifesting scarcity.  <br><br><b>Gratitude + the Law of Attraction = Plentitude</b><br><br>No matter what you have, be thankful for it!  This is a basic principle underlying the law of attraction.  Even if all you have is the shirt on your back, be grateful for it.  Your gratefulness will allow the law of attraction to pave the way for getting even more of your needs and desires fulfilled.  <br><br>Think of all the simple things we have to be thankful for, which we too often overlook:  having plenty of clothing, having a roof over our heads, having enough food--the list goes on and on!  If you practice gratitude every day with a long list of your basic needs that are fulfilled, you’re setting the law of attraction in motion to guarantee that your needs and desires are always met.  In addition to being grateful for your basic needs always being met, you can also give thanks for life’s little victories:  getting a great evaluation from your boss, your child earning all A’s and B’s, winning the radio station contest for concert tickets.  <br><br>But have you ever noticed that some people complain about every little thing that goes wrong?  And have you noticed that such people always have little things going wrong?  That’s because their complaining is setting up the law of attraction to work against them.  If the furnace breaks and you’re whopped with an unexpected $300 furnace repair bill, don’t chronically complain.  Complaining won’t make it go away.  Rather, use the law of attraction to focus on the positive:  be grateful that you have $300 in your checking account to pay for the repair!  <br><br>If you constantly focus on the negative instead of the positive--on what you don’t have instead of what you do have--the law of attraction and the universe will conspire to adjust your attitude by taking away some of your basic needs.  All of a sudden an unexpected $400 auto repair bill will be added to that furnace repair bill!  <br><br>The power of gratitude is simply using the law of attraction to focus on what you do have instead of what you don’t have.  This will help you reap more of what you need and want!   <br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<title>Everything You Wanted to Know about the Law of Attraction</title>

<description><![CDATA[ <b>Everything You Wanted to Know about the Law of Attraction</b><br><br>We intuitively understand the law of attraction, as evidenced by so many popular phrases:  “You reap what you sow,” “give and you shall receive,” and “what you do comes back to you.”  That’s the law of attraction in a nutshell:  what you put out there comes back to you.  <br><br><b>The Law of Attraction:  It’s all in Your Head</b><br><br>We control the law of attraction with our very own thoughts!  So we could revise those old sayings to read, “You reap what you think,” “think and you shall receive,” and “what you think comes back to you!”  <br><br>Attitudes and emotions play a key role, too.  That’s why we have to be very clear with ourselves when it comes to the law of attraction.  On the outside we have a fake smile plastered on our faces and exclaim our affirmations into the mirror every morning:  “This year, I’m going to make $75,000!”  But on the inside we’re thinking, “There’s no way they’ll give me a raise this year.”  And even deeper on the inside--so deep that we may not even consciously realize it--we believe that we don’t deserve a raise.  And hence, according to the law of attraction, we’re not going to get a raise.  The barrage of our constant stream of negative internal thoughts trumps our less frequent external actions--that’s the law of attraction in action.  <br><br>Consistent behavior also gets the law of attraction rolling.  Give love, and you’ll receive love.  Be happy, and you’ll be surrounded by happy people.  Be motivated, and you’ll be surrounded by energetic go-getters.  Be nice, and others will be nice to you.  Be grateful for what you do have, and even more will come your way.  <br><br>Of course, the law of attraction can work to your detriment, too, if you don’t keep your thoughts, emotions and behavior in check.  Act like a jerk, and people will be rude to you.  Withhold love, and you’ll rarely get a hug.  Feel sorry for yourself, and you’ll attract only losers who chalk all their bad luck up to “fate.”      <br><br>You can employ the law of attraction to improve your life in countless ways:  create happier relationships, earn more money, lose weight, attract the love of your life--to make your wildest dreams come true!  All it takes to set the law of attraction in motion is your positive thoughts!  <br><br>That’s because thoughts are a type of energy, and all matter in the universe is composed of energy.  We know the brain emits different types of waves when we’re awake or sleeping, much like light and sound create waves.  Therefore, according to the law of attraction, we literally create outcomes, or physical matter, with our thoughts!<br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<description><![CDATA[ In its elementary, most uncomplicated form, Law of Attraction (LOA) insists on the soundness of one deeply embedded saying: like attracts like. The thing is that the matters on which you set most of your interests, most of your attention are the ones that will be instantly drawn into your life. These are all important aspects that will guide your life. Whether they will tyrannize it or favorably manage it, this is one consequence that only depends on your attitude. However, we could easily wonder why then we aren’t all happy, wealthy and healthy. Aren’t all people focusing on these issues?<br><br>To be true, the answer to this question is NO, unfortunately. Most of us don’t really concentrate on the best things in our lives. On the contrary, we tend to only see what’s most unfortunate or sad. If something wrong is going on, we barely think of something else but to that unhappy situation, instead of focusing on the potential solutions. Apparently this is deep-rooted in our human nature and it takes quite some practice to change this habit.<br><br>Consider this: is it difficult for you to accept the fact that just by thinking – really thinking – about it you could be happy? Well, if you cannot accept this, you have a long way to go to settle things down with LOA. If you think that it is impossible to get rich, to be healthy, to be loved, to keep fit, to love, the immediate consequence delivered by virtue of LOA is that you will not be rich, healthy, loved, fit or loving. In other words, thinking in terms of impossibility attracts the impossibility of all the things you desire, but don’t feel confident enough that you can get. In this manner, you are summoning only the negative aspects of LOA. <br><br>If you want to call forth the positive attainments of LOA, you need to focus on the things you want. Don’t over-exaggerate with the idea that you don’t have them. On the contrary, allow your mind to picture them, dream them up, and anticipate just how it feels to have them. You need to be confident that you will obtain all those things you envisage. This is how LOA will suggest to you the best possible means of getting what you need. Indeed, LOA will not make happiness fall from the clear blue skies: it will offer you the best approaches that will facilitate your road towards happiness. <br><br>In the end, it is all a matter of positive vibrations. Of course, some work will have to be done; LOA is not a magic wand or the fairy godmother that will make you thin in a second or bring you wealth at a clap of hands. On the contrary, in order to have access to the proper mechanisms that will lead your way to attaining what you wish for, you need to grow aware of the influence that LOA has on the fortunate or unfortunate development of your enterprises. So prepare your mind to accept the positive things in your life and positive outcomes will not fail to turn visible.<br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<title>How to Use Law of Attraction to Bring in More Money</title>

<description><![CDATA[ However, since you only reap what you sow, if it’s money what you put in then it is money you will get; on the contrary, if poverty is what radiates from your attitude then it’s only poverty you will end up with. Subsequently, it is only natural that abundance attracts abundance.<br><br>As a consequence, you need to grow fully aware of LOA. First of all, you should ask for money, wish it in your life, then make it welcome and actually let it give your life the true meaning of “rich”. In order to do all that, the fundamental necessity is to design a pattern of living that should agree with your purpose: this means you actually have to open your arms to embrace the possibility for money to enter your life. When money knocks at your door, open it and ask it in. <br><br>Next your thoughts and feelings need to vibrate in accordance with the idea of abundance. Positive thinking is your major ally in the process. If you radiate negative feelings on a regular basis, it is negative outcomes what you will get. For positive consequences you need to act upon positive premises. In other words, when you think about money, don’t turn it into a matter of complaint. Think exclusively about the abundance already manifest in your life; don’t turn deficiencies into the leading “topic” of your concerns. When you feel good about how things are organized in your life, then your life will come to feel good with you and increase the positive aspects you are already seizing.<br><br>Then you need to agree your desire and your vibration. When you think: “I need $1000 to pay for my courses this semester”, you are actually expressing your wish for money. This is one plus point for you. You have grown aware of your desire. But when you say: “There’s no possible way for me to get that money”, you actually manage to invalidate the previous plus point: you simply don’t vibrate positively. When desire and vibration aren’t on the same level, LOA is set in motion and acts in accordance with your vibration. Think about this: a negative approach will actually prevent you from working properly for earning money. When your work is interfered with by negative influences, the results are detrimental; they will work against you.<br><br>Finally, try to get accustomed with loving the money you have, even if that money that is set aside for paying bills. Don’t grow anxious about the money you have to give; don’t hate it just because you need to give it away. Money is made to be spent, even if part of it goes to paying bills. It is an attitude going back to the positive thinking previously mentioned. In the end, you need to stay permanently at a positive level of attitude: positive results won’t fail to turn visible.<br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<description><![CDATA[ One particularly dynamic force manifest in the life of every man and woman is labeled under the name of Law of Attraction (LOA). According to this law, the thoughts and attitudes you engage in are reflected as such in the way our lifestyle grows either satisfactory or disconcerting. In other words, opportune outcomes are favored by attitudes situated at the same level with the anticipated consequences. How will this help you lose weight and keep fit? The matter is actually incredibly simple and commonsensical, if you give it a positive thought: you only need to think about it in an agreeable manner, i.e. a manner that expects positives results.<br><br>Subsequently, you need to put a real, focused thought on what you want. You need to really want it. If you think that the time has come to lose weight, you are required by LOA to actually want to lose weight. Therefore, don’t focus on what you don’t have: don’t think about the fact that you aren’t slim or fit; on the contrary, favorably contemplate the idea that you will soon lose weight and will actually manage to maintain a fit condition. In other words, if at this moment you feel wretched you haven’t lost weight yet, the time is to put an end to such feelings. Only focus on what you will certainly achieve. A positive attitude will always motivate all of the actions in which you engage in order to maintain a fit figure or to lose weight.<br><br>Take the following two mindsets:<br><br>1. “Oh, God! Look at me! I am so fat that I cannot even stand myself! I will never manage to lose all of this horrible weight!”<br><br>2. “I know I have my weight condition under control. My weight does not control me, I will always control it. I feel so good about myself.”<br><br>Which of the two attitudes would you approach? Would you go for feeling completely miserable about all aspects concerning your weight or would you rather look at it – and at your entire life as a matter of fact – with a relaxed, self-confident eye? If you have opted for the first attitude, you have started on the wrong foot. It’s high time you reconsidered your approach. You will see that as soon as you start feeling good about yourself LOA will set in motion the aspects favorable for weight loss and keep fit purposes. <br><br>As a result, LOA will create the framework for a weight loss-keep fit constant program. The favorable thing about LOA is that it efficiently teaches you that the manner in which you choose to lose weight doesn’t really matter. What matters is given by the reasons why you are doing it. As long as these reasons are given a positive touch, they will be positively reflected in the end results on all of your actions. Therefore, you need not worry about how you will manage to keep fit – you are either attending aerobics classes or you are controlling you diet; the means doesn’t hold the chief importance: focus on the beautiful reasons you are keeping fit. Yes, you are already losing weight; you are already fit; this is what you need to think about. LOA will only act in agreement with your thoughts. <br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<description><![CDATA[ Every emotion we feel, every thought we think, everything we focus on has the power of influencing our life. And, in point of fact, every attitude we express or experience really influences the way we build our life. This is the Law of Attraction; what you see is what you get. If you picture you will never manage to find the love of your life or that you will never have a true friend, such things will never occur to you, because it is impossible for you to visualize just how good it will feel to actually hold a friend or a loved one as the most undeniable reality.<br><br>Therefore, you need to train your mind: you need to tell it what you really want from a relationship. It is highly significant that you get to inherently grasp the attitudes, the physical characteristics, and the interests that make sense in your life and in the development of the relationships you get into. All of these data are necessary so that you can establish a clearly targeted focus. Focus is the primary notion, the one you will be working with by virtue of LOA.<br><br>Many people keep it on a losing streak when it comes to relationships simply because they focus on what they did not want from certain relationships. They did not want their partners to be that thin, that fat, that impatient, that dreamy, that material, and so on. But they miss out the entire point: they just won’t focus on what they DO want. They only see the negative aspects. As a consequence, by virtue of LOA, they will attract only the negative dimensions of their relationships. <br><br>The problem grows even more acute when such people go on to the next relationship without eve having given a thought to what was wrong about their prior attitude. And they keep it on with the same negative vibrations from one relationship to another; they probably think: “I want to start it all over again.” But if they start it with the same negative attitude, the vibrations will mirror back only negative outcomes. <br><br>The first step to a perfect relationship is to make an inventory of the positive things you expect from it. You need to focus exclusively on positive expectations. Just by noting down what you dream of will make it easier for you to begin the next relationship on the right foot. Next you need to visualize you have everything you could have wanted from that relationship, without actually fooling yourself. LOA will not fail to let you know in due time what are the best methods of approaching this or that relationship. Yes, there will be work to do: you won’t seize the perfect partner or friend by expecting LOA to act alone. By virtue of the same Law of Attraction, action attracts action. So it’s time you trained your mind and prepared your soul into perceiving what’s good about a relationship and avoiding focus on the negative aspects alone. In this manner, you have found the best road toward better relationships.<br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.

<description><![CDATA[ Financial wealth, close relationships and interior harmony are the major positive outcomes of one special force in this Universe, namely gratitude. Ever since we are really small children, our parents, grandparents, relatives constantly remind us to politely say Thank you for all good things that happen to us. While this is just the basis, there is nothing more legitimate than this sort of attitude. Of course, you have to genuinely feel grateful; otherwise, faked gratitude bears no positive outcomes.<br><br>It is all a matter of grateful, beneficial vibrations that are reflected into the Universe and that the Universe is reflecting back on you. The power of gratitude works in harmony with the Law of Attraction: when you are grateful, the Universe will give you reasons to be even more grateful for what it brings in your life. In order to maximize the advantageous effects, you need to take a few steps for deeply acknowledging the power of gratitude.<br><br>First of all, take a close look at the people and the events in your life that stand for the valuable and constructive aspects in your life. Think about their significance: it is impossible not to feel grateful for their presence and obvious beneficial influences upon your lifestyle. <br><br>Next consider those people and happenings which you really don’t pay too much attention to: they need to be acknowledged as well, so that you should be able to fully grasp all of the beneficial effects they have. These are people and events that you only meet occasionally, but that, nonetheless, affect your life in a positive manner. Now, when you think about them, you realize that you never really gave them a deep thought. But as you realize that, you also grow aware of the importance they have and you just cannot prevent a feeling of gratitude fulfilling you.<br><br>Also, take some time to contemplate what you want from your life and all of the difficult experiences you have been through. Truth be told, you need to be grateful for such less fortunate happenings as well. They are experiences that have taught you something, a valuable lesson of life you couldn’t have learnt otherwise. Yes, you have to feel grateful even in such cases. They have given you the measure of what you have done wrong and have helped you prevent similar potential unfortunate outcomes. <br><br>Finally, at this point, you can anticipate with hope and a positive thought what’s going to happen next: feel gratitude for the good things that are to come. When you feel gratitude for future beneficial expectations, you are in point of fact acknowledging the undeniable truth that such expectations are to be met for certain. Indeed, gratitude can actually work miracles: the Universe will not fail to reward you for your responsiveness to the benign gifts it bestows upon you.<br /><br />--<br />David Hooper is founder of the Guide for Living Institute, a think tank designed to help people enjoy life.
