Habits And The Law of Attraction

"The individual who wants to reach the top in business [or in life] must appreciate the might of the force of habit-and must understand that practices are what create the habits. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him-and hasten to adopt those practices that will become habits that help him achieve the success he desires." -J. Paul Getty


When desiring to manifest something into your life, it is important to pay attention to the habits that you are currently practicing. Sometimes people think that by simply visualizing what they want, they will get it. But as long as we are physical beings, action is required.

For example, if you are wanting to draw your life partner to you, are you also practicing habits that will help magnetize him to you? Or are you doing things that are actually keeping you further away? Are you healing emotional wounds? Are you working on getting rid of addictions? Are you spending time with energy drainers or are you getting better friends?

The following are some examples of the habits that keep us from manifesting our desires.

• Spending too much time watching TV. If you are watching TV you are not taking action towards your desires. Plus it has been discovered that when people watch TV for long periods, their brainwaves resemble those of clinically depressed people. You need to be positive to magnetize good things towards you.
• Being closed minded. Not being open to different solutions further reinforces scotomas, or blind spots. When you stubbornly want to do things how they have always been done, or preferring to be right than happy, you do not see the solutions that are right in front of you which will lead you to your desires easier and directly.
• It takes about twenty-one days for a new habit to form. Some people give up before that time and then they are upset when the deadline of the goal comes and they did not accomplish what they wanted. It does take effort to learn a new habit, much like when learning to drive a standard car. But once you have learned the habit it will be automatic and easily done as though you have always had this habit in your life. As I mentioned above, action is usually required to manifest. Are you taking action towards your dreams by practicing new habits?
• Negative habits breed negative consequences. No matter how much you practice the principles of the Law of Attraction, if you have habits that are going against the current of your desires, you will not get what you want. In fact, you will get what you don't want. For example, you say you want a more peaceful and anxiety free life, but one of your habits is to spend time daily with your chaotic and full of drama friends. You are only getting further away from the feelings of peace and well being.
• Information overload may be blocking you from manifesting. Some people have the habit of being on the phone, watching TV, texting or on the internet and rarely have time to just be. It has come to my attention that part of the reason people feel so anxious and stressed in our society is because of information overload. As difficult as it may be, it could be time to take a break from acquiring more knowledge if you are finding yourself feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. Which is not good energy for manifesting positive things.
