If you’re like me, sometimes when you’re working with affirmations, positive thinking, and the law of attraction, you may wonder, “How soon will this work?”
This is especially true when you are stuck and feel like things will never budge.
We all have our “problem areas.” These can be money, relationships, health, or some combination of the above.
This is usually because we have what I call a “psychic deficit” in that area of our life. We have come to expect problems in that area and have deeply held beliefs that are negative.
Why do those negative expectations take root in the first place? Because we are psychic sponges that basically absorb all the “data” floating around us.
If you were raised in an environment where money was an issue, you will have to overcome some negative expectations around money.
If you grew up around people who were very dysfunctional and uncaring, you’ll need to do some work to free yourself from negative beliefs about receiving love and affection.
If you spent a lot of time with people who were physically ill or who were hypochondriacs, always worrying about their health, you will have unconsciously acquired some of those same negative beliefs about your own health. So you will have to unload part of that accumulation of negative expectations about your health if your desire is to improve your health.
I’ll be honest with you. It can take time, even years, to break free of negative beliefs in some of these “problem areas.”
But the good news about affirmations and the law of attraction is that you can start to see great results very quickly in areas that are not your problem zones. If you don’t accumulate negative beliefs around something, you will manifest wonderful things in that area quickly. So start working with smaller, simpler goals and you’ll soon be encouraged by how quickly big things manifest. This will give you encouragement and motivation as you begin to tackle the more difficult things.
The less resistance you have to receiving positive things and events, the more successful you will be at using the law of attraction to manifest what you want quickly.
So I encourage you to do some digging, to be honest with yourself about deeply held negative beliefs so that you can become more aware of them. By lighting them up and seeing them clearly, you’ll know what you need to start working on. And if you’re persistent with tools like affirmations and visualizations, you’ll see positive results over time.
And in the meantime, start experimenting with the law of attraction for smaller and simpler things. You will be amazed at how powerful you are at creating your own reality. Then it will be much less daunting when you start working on “bigger” projects.
And don’t forget: have fun with it! The more he can be in a state of joy and excitement, the faster his intentions will manifest on the physical plane.
