Topic: Attracting
Success: Inspire Your Environment
Aside
from a new movie with Pierce Brosnan and Juliet
Moore, Laws of Attraction have to do with
our own ability to draw to us that which we focus
on or most desire. You may already understand this
concept and can site examples when you've seen it in
action for yourself or others. You know that like
attracts like, and when we are on a roll, we see good
things happen. Positive thoughts and energy exude,
and opportunities can pop up seemingly out of nowhere!
This is the great news. The other side of
Attraction, is that things can
come to us wrapped in a yucky packages as well. As much
as we can attract that which we desire, the wise
mechanism of the universe often delivers to us things
that we don't think we asked for at all. These are the
situations that cause disappointment, grief and a
whole range of negative reactions. Just like the
upward
spiral of like attracting like, our fears, limiting or
negative beliefs and other messages (overtly or
subliminally) that we convey, create downward
spirals also. We see this most clearly when we are hit
with crisis after crisis, or feel stuck in a rut.
These things are in our lives for a reason, but you
probably wouldn't mind learning and evolving with less
struggle. Whether you are riding the good
attraction wave, or want to attract better things to
you, it helps to know how you can be more
in control, and stay on track in this journey to your
own version of fulfillment and success.
After
my own work with this concept of Attraction, with my
clients and in my own life, I've distilled some of these
ideas to six major areas you can impact to see results.
They are your
dream design, environment, your mind, your
wellness, your spirit and your
actions.
You could start with any, since they overlap, but for
our purposes, let's start here with your Environment.
After all, spring is here, and it is the perfect time to
ready your environment for new growth.
You
will need to prepare your physical
environment
to
attract what you
desire.
Although
there are more, here are 5
ways:
1.)
Clear
Clutter
- Yes, everyone talks about it, but that's because IT'S
TRUE!! If you can clear space you will have renewed
energy AND you will create room for new things to enter.
If you want to attract new clients, clear your old file
cabinets. If you have a workspace that is piled up,
getting it clear will give you momentum for career
growth. Start small if you need to--a wallet, a drawer,
a box, and then move on with it. One of my clients got
on a roll and moved through her whole house, keeping a
dumpster in her driveway for a while. She attracted all
kinds of new opportunity in her business and personal
life. Create a vacuum and see what enters.
2.)
Create
a Sacred Space
-
Is there a place in your home where you feel at ease,
comfortable and can create, sit or relax? A place
that makes you automatically unwind and feel at peace? You could
probably use even more than one. I have at least
three. Make sure these spaces have the potential
to be free of unwanted distractions. In these moments,
in spaces like this, you will have an enhanced ability
to vision what you want to attract and plan for your
future. By taking the regular time to be in it,
you are not only able to focus, vision and create, you
are sending a message that you are paying attention to
your self, and that you are ready for related
opportunities to enter.
3.)
Upgrade
Your Work and Personal
Systems
- Explore
what systems you can set up personally, that help you
balance and function better. If getting your
dry-cleaning and groceries delivered to your home weekly
gives you two extra hours a week, this is an
upgrade in your home system that allows you to
attract something more meaningful into that time. When
you invest time or money into upgrading the technology,
systems or processes you use in your work, you not only
function more efficiently, you are making a statement
about the level at which you are operating. This is
when you are really investing in your personal operating
system and will see the returns.
4)
Upgrade
Your Community and
Relationships
-
Are you in draining work or personal
relationships? If you want to be recognized
for great work at your organization---would you ask to
be surrounded by a team that performs to a lower
standard or a higher one? If you put up with
gossip at lunch, wouldn't you say you are probably
missing out on many other positive conversations and
relationships that are going on elsewhere? When you
enhance your own intrinsic positive energy by spending
less time with these people, and create a more positive
community, you will be better positioned to attract more
of what you want. Challenge yourself to set better
boundaries to negative interactions. Hang out with more
fun and inspiring people, and watch what shifts.
5.)
Express
Your Self
-
Does your office or living space fully express who you
are and your intentions? Are there pictures or objects
that represent or inspire you? Make sure you do a
check in all the key areas of your life. After just
recently having a second child, it occurred to me to
remove a couple of family pictures from my bedroom. You
may ask why? I love pictures, (and my
children!!) and have them in various rooms of the
house--yet, a great place for them is the "family room."
I kept my favorites of just my husband and I in our room. As soon as I did that,
I felt the energy shift some to the two of us. Having so
much emphasis on our precious little ones these days,
this was one small way to make sure our relationship is
represented somewhere in our home, in some special
way.

Take Action
Which
one of these Environmental factors jumps out at you? If
it was a strong positive or negative reaction, I would
start there. Just taking a couple of steps within one
environmental aspect, or across a few, could start the
Attraction process for you. I am certain you will see
some types of shifts from the beginning, even if
subtle. I'd love to hear about how this
goes--please share your stories!

"Getting
rid of things may be one of the most liberating
things you can do. Although many people can't decide
what to get rid of. Let peace of mind be your guide. Ask if something
makes you feel more alive and peaceful, or confused and
overwhelmed." - Cecil Andrews, author of
“Circle of Simplicity"
"Having
and maintaining plenty of space is more important than
getting into yet another hobby, project, or commitment.
In other words, make space as important as a new
interest possibly could be." - Thomas
