The Law of Attraction says that what you think about and focus on and is what will come back to you. Like attracts like so if the energy you give off is negative, you will get negative back and if you are positive, you will receive positive in return. Your mind, like the magnet in the picture above, collects all sorts of things. The magnet doesn’t know the difference between a shiny new screw and a rusty old screw. Either will stick to the magnet if it is in the vicinity of them. Your goal is to attract positive things by surrounding yourself with positive things.

Every day we are bombarded with other peoples’ energy. At home, at work, at social events - these interactions can sap your own energy and leave you feeling drained. These 9 techniques will help you protect your energy so you can keep your vibe high.

We all know how to say “thank you” when someone does something nice for us. From a young age, we’re taught to say “thank you” and in some cases it becomes a rote repetition of words that don’t have much actual feeling behind it. Have you ever said “you too” to a cashier when they say “enjoy your meal” and then facepalm? It’s that kind of “nice” behavior that’s trained into us when we’re young and it’s not a bad thing. But practicing gratitude is different than just saying thanks after someone does something nice.

Stephen Covey coined the terms scarcity mindset and abundance mindset in his best-selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Scarcity mindset is a view that life has a finite number of resources available, so that if one person gets more, that leaves less for everyone else. A scarcity mindset keeps us from achieving our goals because we feel like we can’t get the things we want because we don’t have the same luck, skills, advantages, etc. Conversely, an abundance mindset is the idea that there are limitless opportunities available to you in business and life and that there’s enough for everyone.

Many people are stuck in a scarcity mindset filled with negative self-talk like “I can’t do this. I’m not enough.” This kind of thinking holds them back from achieving their goals. To get out of that rut, they need to switch to an abundance mindset. There is a quote “The secret to having it all is believing you already do” (attributed to John Assaraf). That is the abundance mindset at work. Having an abundance mindset means seeing the endless potential in yourself and others and opening up your world to limitless opportunities. So, how do you switch to an abundance mindset?

“I’ll never get out of debt!” “I can never make that kind of money!” “I can’t afford that!” Does that sound familiar? If it does, you need to work on your limiting beliefs about money. Many of us hold ideas about money that we’ve had for a very long time. Whether it’s because of how you were raised or maybe a bad experience with money, when you have a limiting belief about money, it just ensures you will always be stuck in the same loop of not having enough and worrying about having enough. The law of attraction states what you believe is what you’ll receive so if you’re always focused on a lack of money, negative thinking about money will only get your more negative.

Everything in the universe is made up of particles that are in a constant state of motion, vibrating at different speeds. These differing rates can change if the conditions around the molecules change. While these conditions can be physical (like temperature), feelings like anxiety and nervous thoughts can cause physical reactions in your body. It is thought that certain positive emotions and behaviors, such as happiness, love, optimism, or hope, create high frequency vibrations, while negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, hopelessness, fear, jealousy or worry vibrate at a lower rate. High vibrations make you feel lighter, happier, and calmer while lower vibrations make you feel heavy, dark, and uncertain.
