In preparation for the Chinese New Year 2008 - Year of the Rat - here is how the Chinese prepare themselves for a WEALTHY year ahead....you might want to follow suit:

Cleaning house: The entire house should be cleaned before New Year’s Day. On New Year’s Eve, all brooms, brushes, dusters, dust pans and other cleaning equipment is put away.

Sweeping or dusting should not be done on New Year’s Day, for fear that good fortune will be swept away.

Are you doing everything you know to have the Law of Attraction working in your life, but just not seeing the results you want? Are you beginning to wonder if the Law of Attraction isn’t just a clever hoax, a marketing ploy that has suckered millions into buying its products? I’m here today to tell you that the Law of Attraction is as real as it gets. Let’s look at some of the reasons you may not be achieving the results you desire.

The Law of Attraction is working, whether you are conscious of it or not, every minute of your life. Everything you want to change in your life is also your arranging. Plainly, your patterns of thought and your belief systems have brought you to where you are today. You only need to change your thinking habits to accomplish a change in your external circumstances.

First off, let’s turn to the things that you are unhappy with. You must not think about them and give them anymore energy. Because if you are trying NOT to attract something, you are in fact making it stronger because you are actually thinking about that something. Why is this you may well ask, this is because the Universal Laws of Attraction work on whatever you think about, whether you are thinking about you want it or thinking about what you don’t want. Either way, you add creation/attraction energy to what you are thinking about. Instead, begin focusing on what it is that you want to replace the thing that you are unhappy with in your life. Put all your attention, imagination, and thoughts into this new thing, and let the old, undesirable thing fall by the roadside.

Magnifying the Positive Effects of Gratitude

I have written about gratitude in previous posts in this blog, and I truly believe that it can be a very powerful force in life, causing us to focus on the positive and so bring about beneficial results.

A friend and I were talking about this earlier today, and she told me of a technique which she uses to help focus on gratitude and even to magnify its positive effects. It’s such as simple idea that I don’t know why I didn’t think of it – but I plan to start using the technique right away.

All you have to do is get fresh, new notebook – you may wish to choose one which will fit in a pocket or your purse or briefcase. You may wish to decorate it in a way which appeals to you. This becomes your personal “Gratitude Book” or “Gratitude Journal”.

How to Stop Negative Thoughts

Even though these days I am focusing more and more of my energy on the Law of Attraction and enjoying the benefits which flow from it, from time to time I have periods of self-doubt and pessimism (and I know I’m not alone in this).

My rational mind tells me that this serves little, if any, useful purpose, but it’s still easy to get sometimes get wrapped up in negativity a while. (Do you ever feel like this?)

I was therefore very interested and inspired to read an article on this subject by Rhonda Byrne, produce of The Secret. I’ve pasted it below, and hope you enjoy it too.
