How to Avoid The Pitfalls of Law Of Attraction

A pitfall I encountered with Law of Attraction was the "ideal" or my perception of not thinking, speaking or talking of any negative things. As I grew to my understanding of the power of positive thinking I suppressed all negative thinking and feelings! I thought I can't be thinking anything negative at all because then I may start attracting a negative result. I thought or believed I was supposed to be learning how to be more perfect, more positive and never again experience negative emotions! What happened for me was a bottle up effect of suppressed negative emotions.

Luckily, we all know we are not instant manifestors and if a thought pops into your head it will not instantly manfiest into your reality. I discovered a positive way to disperse the negative energy I encountered. I would journal about the negative things in my life and ask for help in regards to a positive and gentle way for a solution. By writing down in the journal about a negative experience I released it and forgave myself. You are helping yourself work through the issues as they come up.


By being genuine and authentic, I gave myself permission to experience "life" as it comes along I am able to face the small things that come up so they don't grow into bigger and bigger problems. So next time something comes, excuse yourself for a few minutes when you can and in a quiet space write down and release. Or perhaps you may find another way to release that works best for you. The point is not to release it on other people or negatively take it out on others.

For example, my teenage daughter and I got into a brief and negative argument which lead her to retreat to her room. I sat down and wrote out that I need some help here and guide me as to what to do to fix the situation? So about 20 minutes later I was drawn to take her clean laundry clothes into her room. By then, she was on the floor in her bedroom organizing jigsaw pieces into two piles. I was guided to quietly fold her clothes and "hang out" and see what happens while she was doing this. What happened next was pure magic! She invited me to help her find the edges of the jigsaw pieces along with her in the box. So I gladly sat down with her on the floor and went through the box and we never had to discuss the "blow out" we had earlier. To me, whatever it was - I can't even remember - was over and I learned from that experience. I learned to ask for a gentle and positive way to solve the problem and all I did was follow my intuition to guide me.

The stillness we have inside of us allows us to hear the wisdom to really enjoy the game of life. However, it is a choice for each one of us to practice being quiet to allow the wisdom to come to us. A still pond is a lot more receptive than a raging river. Learn to quiet yourself and use that to guide you - not the labels we "think" we have to live up to. Playing this game of life is to experience the wonderful feelings we get from emotions. It isn't all about being "rosy" all the time. It is about learning to experience how to play the game in the first place. We are here to experience life - not just sit on the sidelines of life watching.
