The basic concept behind the Law of Attraction (LOA) is simple—you can attract whatever you desire by concentrating on it. Despite this uncomplicated approach, it takes effort, practice, intention, and belief to successfully use the LOA. These five, simple Law of Attraction tips go a long way to get it working for you.

Tip #1: Concentrate on the Positive

Practicing the LOA means focusing on what you desire. Don’t waste your valuable energy trying to wish away things you don’t want or need. With the LOA, we attract what we focus on. In this way, our powerful minds attract abundance. 

But when you concentrate on something with a negative connotation (like focusing on all the things wrong with your life), you attract negativity. Your subconscious mind only interprets the thing you’re concentrating on, not the words that indicate you don’t want it. 

For example, you have a friend or family member who’s wealthy, successful, and happily partnered. To you, their life always looks much better than yours. You’re envious and wish your life were that successful. You can manifest a life as desirable as theirs, but only if you focus on what you want. 

DON’T: Don’t ask for your jealousy to go away. Don’t concentrate on how much better their life is. Don’t wish that you were better at picking a partner. 

These are all negative patterns, and the focus is on scarcity, instead of abundance. Instead, you can invite richness and joy by concentrating on the positive aspects. 

DO: Express gratitude for the joy and success your friend or family member has. You care about this person and their happiness makes you happy, as well. Embrace affirmations that acknowledge you are a good person, a kind person, and a loving person. Affirm and believe that YOU are a wonderful partner, and someone remarkable can and will come into your life and love you. Ask for abundance and wealth because you deserve it. 

Concentrate on the positive side of what you yearn for, how you want to behave, and how you hope to represent yourself. This helps you manifest the things you desire. 

The Importance of Eliminating Complaining

With that approach in mind, it’s also time to eliminate complaining from your life. Complaints are just another way to state what we do not like or want. Resolve to stop complaining and put that plan into action. 

TIP: Complaining is often a habit with a trigger. Pay attention to what triggers you to complain. Once you understand your triggers you can better replace complaining with one or more of suggestions 5-7 below.

1. Stop complaining for one day, then one week. Next, quit for a month. 
2. When you notice yourself uttering a complaint, stop. Don’t criticize yourself. Simply start over. 
3. Once you go a full day without complaining, initiate a week of no complaints. If you start to complain, stop yourself and start your week over. 
4. After you manage a week, try a month.
5. Now, it’s time to eliminate thought complaints. When a statement that reflects a complaint enters your mind, notice it for what it is and then let it go.
6. Immediately counter the negative thought with a more positive affirmation. 
   • Negative Thought: John forgot to put his bowl in the dishwasher again. I have to do everything.
   • Follow-up Thought: John unloaded the dishwasher this morning. I’m so happy he’s been pitching in more with housework. 
7. With these exercises, you’re training your mind to stop concentrating on unwanted things. Additionally, you’re focusing on the good outcomes you hope to manifest with the LOA.

Tip #2: Use Precision Affirmations

Tap into the unlimited power of your subconscious mind with precise affirmations. This is another part of concentrating on the positive instead of asking to be rid of negatives. When you create your affirmations, ensure you are delivering the right message to your subconscious mind. 

Create specific, clear, and precise affirmations that reflect what you want to manifest. 

DON’T: I don’t want to be broke anymore. I want my boss to stop passing me up for the promotion I deserve. I want to stop fighting with my husband. 

DO: Money flows to me freely and there is always enough of it in my life. I am an excellent employee, and my boss recognizes my worth. I am in a fulfilling relationship with respectful communication.  

You can also try beginning your affirmation with positive statements that reveal who you are, what you can accomplish, and changes that can impact your life for the better. 

I am: Who I am

• I am happy. 
• I am healthy. 
• I am generous and caring.

I can: My potential

• I can exercise daily and lose weight. 
• I can communicate effortlessly with my partner. 
• I can start my own business and be financially independent. 

I will: Positive life changes

• I will practice meditation daily. 
• I will be patient and kind to myself. 
• I will help others at work. 

Add words like “effortlessly” or “easily” to your affirmation for more power: I can effortlessly reach any goals I set my mind to. 

State and think your affirmations with feeling, purpose, and attention. Allow the positive feelings to wash over your body as you take several deep belly breaths.

Tip #3: Accept that Receiving Is Good

Attracting what you want is only part of the LOA. You must also be receptive to the things you are manifesting. Unfortunately, many of us have been programmed to doubt ourselves and to question our abilities. This can make it difficult, if not impossible to truly receive what the Law of Attraction sends our way. The following steps and exercises will help you overcome those pesky doubts.

Step one is to believe you are worthy of receiving all the things you desire. Step two is to be actively open to receiving them. You may need to overcome your ingrained feelings of low self-esteem or the belief that you’re undeserving.  

One exercise you can try is receiving compliments graciously with no self-effacement. Smile and say, “Thank you.” Don’t add anything or minimize the compliment. It may be awkward for you, initially. But you will soon feel comfortable receiving compliments and feeling genuinely deserving of them. 

Affirmations and meditation are also excellent LOA tools that can help you conquer those self-defeating attitudes. You ARE deserving. You ARE perfect as you are. 

Tip #4: Develop Productive Habits that Support the Law of Attraction

Habits are actions, behaviors, and routines that have become so ingrained in your life that they’re practically involuntary. Embracing the Law of Attraction tips, and incorporating the principles into every facet of your life will become much easier once you adopt positive, productive habits. 

How to Develop Good Habits

• Write down your bad habits. Turning off a bad habit and turning on a good one is nearly impossible. It's much easier to replace a bad habit with a better one.
• Write down the bad habit payoffs. There's a reason you keep doing the bad habit... The payoff. If sleeping in is a bad habit because you stay up late binge-watching your favorite series, then the payoff is relaxing and enjoying TV.
• Write your goal habits down. Start by identifying the habits you want to form or work on. For example, if you want to wake up early... Instead of staying up late watching TV, think of how you can get the same payoff by going to bed early and waking up early. Reward yourself with a relaxing show when you follow through on your improved habit.
• Start simple with one habit at a time. Don’t overwhelm yourself. Take it one step at a time. Begin with something relatively easy. If still unsure, choose the habit that will make other habits easier to do by doing it.
• Plan to commit to forming your new habit for at least 30 days. Don’t expect immediate results. Mistakes are the way we learn ourselves to success. Enjoy the journey and remember that failure only happens if you stop trying.
• Reinforce the benefits of developing your new habit. Be sure you understand how your new habit will benefit you. For example, learning to take time to relax and unwind every day helps reduce stress and enhances your physical and mental health. 
• Repeat your habit daily. The basis of forming a habit is repetition. Repeat a behavior enough times, long enough and the habit forms.
• Be consistent. Dedication is important. Strive to stay on track and avoid shortcuts.  
• Establish accountability. Tell the people in your life about your efforts and share updates on social media. Studies show that people are more likely to fulfill a commitment when others know about it and watch their progress. 
• Be kind to yourself. Don’t let setbacks discourage you. Give yourself the time necessary to make change and reward yourself for your achievements. 

Positive LOA Habits

• Writing helps you manifest your desires with the LOA and visualize what you have in your life to appreciate. Yet many people don’t realize the power of writing and journaling. Embrace this habit for more abundance. Bad Habit Replacement Suggestion: If you struggle with spending too much time on social media, consider replacing that habit with this.
• Appreciation is often overlooked. But it’s important to be thankful for the wonderful things in our lives. Expressing gratitude is a core principle of the LOA. Bad Habit Replacement Suggestion: Rather than complaining, work to replace it with appreciation by noticing the good that is present in any situation.
• Relaxation or “practicing ease” emits vibrations that tune you into the LOA for even more things that bring you ease. It’s a beautiful, self-sustaining cycle. Bad Habit Replacement Suggestion: Snacking can be a bad habit that we use to take a break and relax. Consider relaxation techniques rather than reaching for the soda and sugary snacks.
• Meditation has many benefits, including training your brain to invite abundance. 
• Exercise is great for mind, body and spirit. Choose activities that you find enjoyable and doable. 
• Service to others is a gift to both you and the people you help. Studies reinforce the positive aspects of helping others, showing that giving of our time and serving others reduces stress and increases feelings of happiness. 

Tip #5: Remember, Repetition Helps Drives Success with the LOA

Repetition is a powerful tool. Leaders, educators, public speakers, politicians, marketers, and many others use repetition to accomplish their goals. That’s because it works. 

Look at some of the many ways we use repetition:

• Repeating instructions enhances memory. 
• Repetition develops habits.
• Delivering the same message in new and interesting ways sells products and services. 
• Repetition of rules, facts, statistics, and math problems supports learning. 
• Performing a task over and over builds competency. 
• Repetition rewires our brains. 
• Hearing the same thoughts and ideas repeatedly changes minds. 

TIP: Visualizing your self repeating is just as powerful as actually repeating the task or exercise physically. As you mentally visualize, see and feel everything in vivid detail for the best results/

To use the LOA, plant desirable, positive ideas and beliefs in your subconscious mind. Feed and sustain them with repetition. Belief grows. You are now manifesting all that you desire with the power of your subconscious mind.
