If you understand law of attraction<\/a>, you know that thoughts create things and like attracts like.<\/span><\/p>\n

The concept of affirmations is that repeating a positive statement will eventually allow you to <\/span>cross over into belief of the statement and create the desired outcome.\u00a0 Sounds plausible, right? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem with this is that when we state something that we know is untrue we attract more <\/span>thoughts that bring us down. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, many people struggle with making more money.\u00a0 So if we create the affirmation, <\/span>\u201cI am rich.\u201d and we are not currently living that reality it can actually undermine our efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, if we are struggling financially and have great angst around this subject, then there are <\/span>many more thoughts that pop up to the contrary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham-Hicks says that every subject has two sides.\u00a0 The having of something and the not having <\/span>of it.\u00a0 That is very clear with money and why so many people struggle with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

So you go through a litany of things about not having money and continue down the path of then <\/span>feeling bad about not having it and how is seemingly out of reach.\u00a0 This creates many more bad <\/span>feelings about the subject of money and the feeling is what is most important in law of attraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSo now you end up worse off than before you first recited the affirmation.\u00a0 I learned a very important <\/span>word track from Michael Losier, author of \u201cThe Law Of Attraction Book\u201d.\u00a0 He said to use the phrase, <\/span>\u201cI\u2019m in the process\u2026\u201d\u00a0 I\u2019m in the process of creating more money and abundance in my life is a <\/span>much more positive way to start creating the desired outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your mind doesn\u2019t \u201cargue\u201d with you.\u00a0 If you\u2019re taking the actions, then you are \u201cin the process\u201d.\u00a0 It has <\/span>helped me so much to pivot on issues that before were really tough to break free from.<\/span><\/p>\n
