The title of this article may sound a bit preposterous at first. Yet, if you stick with me for a moment I think you'll see how logical this whole idea really is.
In order to understand the concept I'm about to introduce, it's helpful to have at least a decent background in self help and the law of attraction.
The law of attraction basically states that you get more of whatever you focus on. Therefore, if you're focused on bills - even if you don't want more of them - you're likely to attract more bills.
The other caveat to the law of attraction is if you "need" something, you're likely to push it away. For example, there's nothing wrong with wanting a new car. Yet, if you "need" it or your too emotionally attached to having it - you'll unconsciously push it away.
This is because when you have a strong emotional attachment to something - it's likely because you're focusing on "not having it."
Think about it for a moment. If you really had faith that you would attract a new car (or house, or whatever you want), would you be nervous about it? Would you be worried about it? Would you stress over it.?
Probably not right?
You'd simply be what I like to call "emotionally neutral" about it.
So just to quickly recap.
The two important things you need to do to attract what you want are (a) focus on it and (b) get rid of your emotional "attachment" to having it.
I think everyone can understand this concept on an intellectual level. Yet, applying it to your day-to-day life isn't as simple...until now.
Recently I had a breakthrough discovery that can help you solve both problems. I've been practicing this method for a couple of days and am very pleased at the results I'm getting.
Ok so here's how it works.
The first thing you need to do is pay very close attention to your feelings - especially the feelings you dislike. Whenever you feel a negative emotion, it's because you are focusing on what you "don't" want.
Therefore, whenever you have a feeling you dislike, notice what internal pictures and dialogue are going on in your head. You'll notice you're thinking or picturing a situation you don't want. Take notice of this and say to yourself "ok, that's what I don't want...what would I prefer instead?"
You'll notice you'll start to think of the opposite of what you want. This is a great first step.
But, if you're like me, you've noticed that shifting your thinking to what you want doesn't always make you feel better. So, we want to add an additional step and request the help of our subconscious mind to help us feel better.
The way I've been doing this is to actually say (or think about) what I do want - but in a "don't want" format.
For instance, if I notice I've been thinking about an upcoming event and I'm nervous about it - I quickly identify that I would rather be "calm and confident" about the event.
I would state this in a "don't want" format such as "For this upcoming event, I don't want to feel calm and confident."
Sounds silly right?
It sure does. It will sound silly to your subconscious mind too and your subconscious will begin to go to bat for you. You'll hear yourself saying "yes I do. I do want to be calm for this event."
This is good. You want your mind to "fight back" in your defense because it will start to shift it's thinking and focusing to what you do want.
Let me explain why I think this works so well.
Even if you state that you "don't want" something you're mind ignores the "don't want" and focuses on creating or attracting the "something." For instance saying "I don't want bills" causes your mind to focus on "bills" and attract more of them.
Why not use this knowledge for positive things too like money, cars, better relationships and such. Saying you "don't want" money still keeps you focused on money.
The other genius thing about this method is it removes the "emotional charge" from the goal. If you say you "don't" want something (especially something you actually do want) you are basically saying to yourself I don't "need" it - which is a prerequisite of getting something you want.
In these two ways, you're able to (a) focus on what you want, and (b) remove your emotional attachment to having it.
I've also noticed this also works in the opposite way. For instance throughout the day, I've felt a headache coming on. Normally, I would say to myself "I want a clear head." Sometimes that would cause it to go away and sometimes it would frustrate me that my headache hadn't gone away.
What I've been doing instead is saying silly things like "Hurray. I'm so glad I have a headache. I've been wanting it all day and now it's finally here." I don't say this in a sarcastic way but in a genuine way.
It's kind of live reverse psychology for your mind. It's been working wonderfully - but I don't want it to continue to work:).
