How to Allow Money Into Your Life

Recently there has been an explosion of discussion regarding the Law of Attraction. If you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s actually quite simple. Positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative. In other words, you’ll receive good things or bad according to what you focus on.

If you focus on the positive in your life, then more positive things will come your way. If you spend your time and energy focusing on the negative, then you’ll allow more negative things in your life.

You can use these principles to harness the power of the Law of Attraction to allow more money into your life.

Follow these strategies to allow money:

Express gratitude. If you want more of something, like money, you must first express gratitude for what you have presently. Gratitude is a powerful positive emotion. Be thankful for all that your Creator has provided you this far.

You must be sincere in your thanks. If you don’t honestly feel the gratitude, then you won’t be able to attract more of what you want.
Stay focused on what you do have. Remember, if what you feel and focus on is actually your lack of money, it will only attract more lack back to you.

Picture yourself with the money. Visualize it in depth, as if you already have it. You want to see yourself holding the money, touching it, and feeling how happy you are with it in your life.

Imagine sitting down paying all your bills and buying expensive gifts for those that you love. This will send a positive message out that is to be returned to you.
Be consistent with sending out these strong positive thoughts and feelings. Mixing it up with negative ones about money sends a conflicting message.

Rid yourself of negative thoughts. It’s imperative that you eliminate as many negative feelings as possible. Make a conscious effort to find the positive in everything because your negativity won’t be rewarded with positive results.

Are there others out there who are positive? You bet! Do your best to find and emulate these people.
When life hands you a bunch of lemons, it’s time to make lemonade. Find the silver lining or take action to make something positive out of the situation.

Have Faith. There are countless documented cases of people who received their heart’s desire by using the principles found in the Law of Attraction. Those people are no different from you!

Faith is a positive feeling. If you truly want to attract more money into your life, then faith is a must. You have to believe deep down that something like this can and will happen to you.
It’s time to truly believe that you’re deserving of anything you desire.

Make a conscious effort to find the positive in everything because your negativity won't be rewarded with positive results.

The Law of Attraction has helped many people live their dreams. By following its simple principles, it can happen to you as well. Profess an open mind, a willing heart, and a joyful spirit and, in return, you will be rewarded with whatever you request!

Top Six Limiting Beliefs that Repel Wealth Attraction

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Do you notice when negative, self-destructive thoughts creep into your mind? If you’re like most of us, you likely even discourage yourself with negative self-talk. Beware of these negative processes! You can get overwhelmed with the negativity of your self-destructive thoughts.

Are you sending yourself these troubled messages? Each example below is followed by suggestions about how to banish the thought for good:

No one understands me. If you feel this way, then examine how it is that you have many people around you – friends, family members, and co-workers – and still you believe not one “gets” you.

Strive to ensure they know how you feel. Share your thoughts appropriately with the people involved. This action will help you gain confidence in your self-expression and quell the negative thought.

I don’t have enough time to “___________” (go after my dreams, get healthy, indulge in my beloved hobbies, or fill in your own other ideas). If the only things you have time to do are things you have to do, it sure doesn’t make life much fun.

Begin working to achieve a healthy balance in your life. Allow time each day to take part in things that make your heart sing. Fit your favorite activities into your very busy day.
Start small, if you need to, by scheduling just 15 minutes for yourself.
When you proactively take control of your schedule, you’ll be assured that you complete every activity you want to do.

I don’t deserve to have a happy life. Perhaps the choices you’ve made in the past have caused you considerable psychological pain. You’ve been beating yourself up emotionally over those decisions. However, if you’ve identified them as poor choices, you’ve learned not to repeat them.

Congratulate yourself for learning from your mistakes. You’ve gained new knowledge to use from this day forward.
Confront this type of thinking by saying, “No, this thought isn’t right. I do deserve to have a happy life. After all, I learn well from my mistakes.”

Things never seem to work out for me. This is a general statement that colors how you feel about yourself. It sends a subtle self-message: “I must not be doing anything right.”

In reality, you likely do many things well. Spend some time identifying what those things are. Also, you may be focusing too much on what doesn’t work out well and barely noticing what’s going right in your life. Take time now to write down what you do well.

If I can’t do it perfectly, then I’m not doing it at all. It’s positive that you want to do your best in all that you do. But how will you try anything new if it has to be done perfectly? Thinking this way will prevent you from ever venturing outside your comfort zone.

Try adopting a new mantra: “If at first I don’t succeed, I’ll keep trying until I do.”
Allow yourself the opportunity to make mistakes. Remind yourself that making a mistake is a real learning experience you can benefit from. Optimistically embrace your errors.

I’m afraid to do the things I really want to do. What are you specifically afraid of? The source of your fears could likely be an embarrassment, failure, or what others will think. In reality, it’s healthy to have a certain amount of fear when embarking upon something new or unknown.

The key is that, even though you feel the fear, you must do the thing you want to do anyway. Otherwise, you’ll never know what positive things could happen as a result of your following through with your hopes and dreams.

Beware of These Mistakes When Setting Goals

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Goals are very powerful. What’s the likelihood of accidentally accomplishing something that makes your life much better without goals? Great accomplishments require intention. Having intention keeps your mind sharp and searching for solutions.

Unfortunately, most of us were never taught how to set effective goals in school.

For best results, avoid these 9 goal-setting mistakes:

Setting too many goals. Instead of having a multitude of goals, try setting one highly meaningful goal. When you have a history of success, increase the number of goals you’re simultaneously pursuing.

Too many goals can be overwhelming and spread your resources too thin.

Choosing goals that aren’t highly meaningful to you. If you’re going to limit yourself to a single goal, it’s especially important to choose one that’s highly desirable to you and will have a great impact on your life.

The more you want it, the more likely you are to aggressively pursue it.

Expecting things to go smoothly. A highly desirable and meaningful goal is unlikely to be reached quickly and easily. Expect a few bumps along the way.

Keep a positive attitude and simply assess the situation when things don’t go the way you had hoped. Change your approach and try again.
Using this process to move closer and closer to your goal, regardless of the circumstances, how could you not be successful?

Not recognizing signs from your subconscious. If you’ve set a desirable goal, it’s only natural that you’d pursue it aggressively and enthusiastically. If you find yourself procrastinating, losing your enthusiasm, or failing to take action for any reason, your subconscious is trying to tell you that something is amiss.

Is your subconscious working for you or against you in achieving your goals?

Setting an unreasonable timeline. Things always seem to take longer than we expected. Try to be realistic and set a deadline that’s reasonable and takes into account a few challenges along the way.

By not giving yourself enough time, you’re risking the possibility that you’ll feel discouraged when you don’t complete your goal on time.

Failing to measure your progress. Imagine having a weight loss or financial goal but never weighing yourself or measuring your income. You’d never know where you stood relative to your goal. Review your progress on a regular basis.
Setting goals that aren’t realistic. There are many goals that appear unrealistic, yet are realistic with an adequate deadline. However, there are also goals that are highly unlikely to be reached. For example, if you’re 55 years old and 5’ 5”, you’re not going to play in the NBA.

You can accomplish great things, but some things simply aren’t an option, regardless of the timeline. Seek wisdom in telling the difference.

Setting goals that take too long. It’s much easier to stay focused on goals that are limited to around 12 weeks.

If you have a goal that will take longer than three months, determine where you would expect to be in three months and make that your goal. Big goals are likely to require several smaller goals that ultimately lead to its completion.

Not having a clear endpoint. An effective goal is measurable and has a clear endpoint. For example, “making more money” isn’t an effective goal. A penny is more money. Would you be satisfied with that? Be as concise as possible. Ensure you can measure your goal.

A goal is a gateway to a happier life. But setting effective goals takes practice, and it’s important to avoid making these common goal-setting mistakes. Avoid these mistakes and you greatly increase the odds of realizing success!

The beliefs you hold about yourself can keep you stuck and prevent you from achieving what you desire. Begin by identifying and changing your limiting beliefs. New beliefs are easy to install using the FREE “7 Steps to Expelling Your Limiting Beliefs Cheat Sheet.”.

Simple Steps to a Successful Goal Plan for Your Coming Year

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

You probably have goals that you hoped to achieve this year, but didn’t. This time of year, it’s natural to lament about goals you seem to have lost.

Thankfully, your goals don’t have to remain mere dreams. You can take yourself from a path with unachievable goals to one with attainable targets by just changing your approach.

Once you’ve committed to believing in your abilities, you can start to put things in place to actually attain what you’ve set your mind and heart on. And this holiday season is the perfect time to set that game plan.

Use this step-by-step approach to make an effective plan to achieve those goals:

Be thankful for the year’s achievements. Even if you didn’t reach the targets you wanted, there are undoubtedly things that you did accomplish. Take a few moments to run those accomplishments through your mind and give thanks for them. Feel good about yourself. You’ve most likely achieved far more than many others!
Start with a master list. Instead of just dreaming about the things you’d like to achieve in the coming year, take the time to sit down and write them on a master list. Be specific about exactly what you want and how much (make it measurable).
Prioritize your goals. By the time you’re done writing, you’ll probably have a list of 20-30 goals. First, arrange your list in the order in which you want to achieve them and then zoom in on the top four or five.
Plot and set attainable targets. Now that you’ve identified the four or five most pressing goals, plot out attainable sub-targets for each of these goals and give yourself a timeline to achieve each step.

Remember that the best way to achieve mammoth goals is to break them down into smaller pieces that you know you can achieve. Now, you know it’s attainable because you’ve figured out how to achieve each step. It’s only a matter of completing each step, one by one. Once you complete your last step, you’ve achieved your big goal!

Plan to give yourself a small reward when you’ve successfully conquered each phase of the master plan.

Reaffirm your commitment. As the old year is winding down, take some time to read through your list and reaffirm your commitment to achieving these goals in the coming year.

With each goal, start by saying, “I reaffirm my commitment to …” and read the details of the goal from beginning to end.

By reaffirming your commitment, you officially vow to do what is necessary to achieve the goals, which is a much better place than you were at the start of this year.

Commit, also, to actively finding solutions to overcome any challenges that may crop up. When you mentally prepare yourself ahead of time for challenges, they’re not such a shock, and you can focus on solving any constraints and continue moving forward.

Now that you’ve changed your approach, you can expect to see a much-improved outcome with each goal you’ve set for yourself. Go get ’em!

What is the Secret to Accomplishing More?

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Some people take pride in their drive to be perfect. Take it from a recovering perfectionist, perfectionism isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Perfectionism wastes time, creates stress, and stands in the way of your success.

Doing a good job isn’t the same as seeking perfection. Ideally, a task completed at a good enough will ensure success. Something the perfectionist will find totally unacceptable.

When you avoid perfection, you can accomplish more toward success:

Perfection isn’t possible. Nothing has ever been perfect in the literal sense of the word. You might as well go looking for a unicorn.
Perfection is a waste of time. Perfection requires a lot of time and effort – more time and effort than the end result is worth. You’re not allocating your primary resources intelligently if you’re trying to be perfect.
You get less done. When you try to be perfect, you cut yourself short of enough time to get everything done. Your boss needs her report. She doesn’t need something to submit to the Smithsonian to preserve for future generations. You can’t get your work done if you’re focused on perfection.
The need to be perfect is a sign of insecurity. The drive for perfection is an attempt to compensate for a perceived lack of adequacy. When you believe you aren’t good enough as you are, it’s common to believe that doing everything perfectly will prove that you are capable and adequate. That’s a heavy burden to carry through life.
The need for perfection leads to procrastination. It can be tough to even take the first step if you believe that the outcome must be perfect.
Perfection is unhealthy. Perfectionists are more prone to heart disease, anxiety, and mental health issues. The quest for perfection causes stress. Stress is damaging to the body and mind.
You can’t work well with others if you need to be perfect. People have little patience for perfectionists. Everyone else wants to get things done and get on with their lives. You can accomplish much more with the help of others.
Perfection leads to frustration. That frustration leads to depression, anxiety and unnecessary stress which can result in health issues.
Perfection is an enemy of success. Perfectionist avoids failure. Success often includes failures along the way. Perfection and success aren’t compatible.
Perfection leads to unreasonable expectations. There are times when we need to be perfect or near-perfect, such as when constructing a bridge or performing surgery. But for most of us, there is room for a margin of error. Especially, when it doesn’t make a big difference in your end results.
Perfection is rooted in anger. Perfectionists feel contempt for anything less than perfection. This isn’t healthy. It also makes you unpleasant to be around. No one will ever meet your standards and your anger towards them isn’t appreciated.
Perfection and happiness are at odds. Happy people don’t feel the need to be perfect. And people that are driven to be perfect are too consumed to experience happiness. Do you know a perfectionist that you would describe as happy?

Which would you rather have – Perfection or Success?

Perfectionism requires a tremendous amount of time and gets in the way of happiness and success. Ask yourself why you feel the need to do things perfectly. Perform tasks to a level that results in success. Going beyond that point is foolish and unnecessary.

The Success Powers Hidden in Your Subconscious Mind

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Your subconscious mind is the maker of all the great ideas you have ever had and is also the seat of your intuition and creativeness.

If you want to learn the true art of mind power, then it is of the greatest importance that you understand the 2 functions of your mind and how they interact with each other…

You only possess one mind, but it has 2 totally different functions – and the names generally used to distinguish these 2 different functions are as follows:

1. The Conscious Mind
2. The Subconscious Mind

There are many other terms used. But the 2 listed above, are the ones used most to represent the 2 main functions of your mind.

To help us better understand the conscious and subconscious mind, they may be compared to a tree and its roots…

Your conscious mind being the tree, which helps you with daily situations like, decision-making, rational thinking, or just simply figuring out what to do and how to best do it.

When we think of “me” we think of our conscious mind, the mind of which we are fully aware. This part of the mind makes decisions for us and directs our activities; it also analyzes, criticizes and even commands us.

You’re subconscious mind being the roots; it deals mostly with the repetitions of learned behavior. This can be very helpful for you, as it enables you to deal with situations much more easily the next time they arise.

Whatever we see, hear, smell, taste, touch or feel, passes through the conscious mind and reaches the subconscious mind where it is stored.

How Information Gets Stored In Your Subconscious Mind

Once you have learned how best to deal with the situation, you find it much easier the next time around… this is because you are using information which is already stored.

For instance, once you have learned to ride a bike you don’t have to consciously think about it anymore. This is because the stored information will come to you automatically the next time you get on your bike to ride it.

Just as if you were to learn where each letter on your keyboard is – you can now type without looking because you have formed a mental picture in your subconscious mind, of what the keyboard actually looks like.

The above are only two instances (of how the subconscious mind stores up relations of learned behavior) and we are sure you would be able to find many more examples of these in your everyday life!

Information from the conscious mind gets past into the subconscious mind, and there is a very strong link between the two. It is said that everything you have ever seen, heard and experienced is perceived by your conscious mind, and then stored away into your subconscious mind as a memory.

Not only is this memory stored as the incident itself, but also any feelings which went with it at the time are also stored.

How Your Subconscious Mind Uses the Stored Information

Your subconscious mind goes beyond storing your memories and feelings. It also generates all the great ideas you have ever experienced, and is also the seat of your intuition and creativeness.

Your subconscious also keeps you going without you even being aware of it. It takes care of your bodily functions – your heartbeat and automatically runs such activities as, movement, language, visual perception and a whole host of other processes of your mind and body for you.

It also scans your mind for conflict and distress; assesses your environment for danger and threats, and relays and interprets perceptions, sensations, and feelings… last but not least it is also the storehouse of all your experience and decisions – everything which makes you the person that you are.
