Using the Laws of Attraction to Bust Stress

bee and flowerWhen the movie "Shakespeare in Love" came out, there was a line that stuck with me: "What is going to happen? I don't know--it's a mystery!"

I used this line as a mantra when the going got rough in my life. As soon as I repeated the mantra several times to myself, I found that something good always happened that made that particular stress disappear.

Recently, I attended a teleseminar hosted by the VACOC with Silver Rose. Silver is an inspirational speaker who provides practical motivation through humor-filled keynotes, workshops, coaching and writing to improve workplace morale, relationships and productivity.

During this teleseminar, Silver spoke of the Laws of Attraction, and how to put them into effect. She put into words what I have always believed and acknowledged, and showed us how to take it to the next level.

Steps to Bust Stress By Using the Power of Attraction

If you want or need something, think about your needs and wants. Write them down if necessary. This often helps you focus and facilitates the stress release process. Then let it go out to the universe, specifically asking for what you want.

Keep a good positive attitude! Often, this helps you let things that may bug you "wash off your back."

When someone around you is in a foul mood: Look inwardly and do not take responsibility for their feelings. Just think of the things you are grateful for and remain positive. Remember, like attracts like.

Smile every day at the little things. It might be a child's laughter or a hummingbird. This keeps your inner heart happy and keeps stress away.

Appreciate the good things in your life every day. Do you have a roof over your head? Do you have food in your belly? Think of all the every day things that you may take for granted, and thank the universe for them. Somehow, everything else just doesn't seem so pressing any more.

What is going to happen? I don't know; it's a mystery! But something will happen, and if you send out positive thoughts, positive things will come back to you!

RESOURCE: Silver Rose puts people and organizations into play faster than you might think possible. She unshakles them with her liberating wit and her "so-that's-how-you-do-it" insights. With intimate episodes shared from her own life, she opens wellsprings of courage, loyalty and commitment in others.
