When it comes to abundance and prosperity, expectations are vitally important. The Law of Attraction teaches us that we tend to receive exactly what we expect in life. Why is this? How do expectations work with the Law of Attraction?
If you’ve studied the Law of Attraction at all, you know that your thoughts and emotions release an energetic frequency out to the Universe. Whatever is vibrating at this same frequency will be pulled into your reality. If you emit low vibrations like anger, fear, or cynicism, you will attract corresponding experiences and events. If you emit high vibrations like joy, love, and passion, you will again attract corresponding experiences and events.
Another important part of this process, however, involves your expectations. Perhaps you can remember expecting something that did indeed happen. Sometimes we do this in a positive way: “Today is going to be a great day, I just know it!” and sometimes we do it in a negative way: “Ugh - today is going to be ‘one of those days’.”
Expectations can be powerful, especially if they are backed up with firm conviction and unwavering faith.
Below you’ll find some simple tips to help you learn to expect the best – and get it!
• First, you must choose to expect the best in every situation. This will be challenging if you don’t have full control of your thoughts yet. If you haven’t developed a strong focus, you’ll probably keep vacillating back and forth between random thoughts and focused thoughts until you train your mind. Simply keep at it! Keep saying things like, “I know this is going to work out for the best,” or “I know I will turn this situation to my advantage somehow,” or “I expect the best and the best always comes to me!”
• Avoid negative talk like the plague. By “negative talk” I mean complaining, arguing, or doom predictions – anything that drags down your emotions and contradicts your positive expectations. If other people try to engage you in negative talk, you may have to be firm to avoid it. You might also need to limit the amount of time you spend with negative people. Try to always phrase your statements in a positive way. Instead of saying, “This won’t be easy,” say, “I can handle this.”
• KNOW that your expectation will come true. You may wonder how to “know” when you really don’t know yet! If it hasn’t happened yet, how can you be sure it will? This type of knowing is based solely on faith. You are CHOOSING to know. It might take awhile to get comfortable with this, but once you do it becomes a lot easier. In order to really know, you’re going to have to completely banish doubt and disbelief from your mind. When they pop up, simply push them out of your mind and affirm again that you KNOW your expectation will happen.
These three simple things can make a world of difference in your ability to attract what you want, and when the actualizations start showing up in your life, you’ll be able to add that much more faith and confidence to your expectations – which will make them still more effective!
Do you believe you deserve great abundance? Do you believe you can have it in your life?
Most of us would like to believe that, but at the same time we have a niggling little voice in the back of our minds that jeers at us: “Ha! Who do you think you’re kidding? You know you don’t deserve to be wealthy and happy. You’re not one of the lucky ones and you know it. Just give it up. You are doomed to live a mediocre life. Accept it.”
This little voice is usually the result of early programming and negative reinforcement we experience during times of difficulty. It’s bad enough that this negative voice takes up residence in our minds in the first place, but much worse is that we begin to believe what it says! We end up sabotaging any efforts we make to live a more abundant life.
If this sounds all too familiar to you, it’s possible you are blocking abundance from entering your life. Dissolving these inner blockages may take some effort on your part, but it is time well-spent!
Before we go into the steps for doing that, keep in mind three things about this negative voice:
• It is replaying things that people in your life have communicated to you in the past.
• It is replaying things you have said to yourself in the past.
• You do not have to believe these things if you don’t want to!
Here’s how to turn that negative voice into a positive, supporting voice:
Begin speaking kindly and lovingly to yourself.
Remember, that little voice in your head will keep repeating what you consistently tell it. In the past you may have been harsh on yourself when you failed at something or didn’t follow through with goals you set. Recording over that negative voice with more positive messages is very simple – just keep speaking kindly and lovingly to yourself as often as possible! In time, the tone of that mental voice will begin to change.
Celebrate your achievements.
If you believe that nothing you do is ever good enough, begin making it a priority to celebrate everything you do. Even the tiniest accomplishment should be cause for celebration. Pat yourself on the back, congratulate yourself, and most importantly feel GOOD about who you are and what you do. Keep striving to do better, but also give yourself some recognition for even trying!
Believe that abundance is your birthright.
Keep affirming that you do deserve an abundant, happy life. Expect abundance and goodness in all forms. Say things like this, “I just know I’m meant to live a powerful life. I believe I have the strength and ability to make my life into anything I want it to be.” If you know you deserve abundance, expect abundance always, and allow yourself to open to abundance – you get abundance!
Remember that it will probably take time to notice obvious results. Keep doing the steps as often as you can, and before long you should find yourself feeling lighter and happier, AND attracting ever-increasing amounts of abundance into your life.
