LAW OF ATTRACTION AND POSITIVE THINKING-FEW WORDS ABOUT THE MOVIE THE SECRET

I am sure that every man on Earth had experience with the law of attraction, even we didn’t call it like that before the movie The Secret. Where there was a faith in our potentials, there was the law. I want to say that even it is popularized now and has a whole marketing behind it, which in itself is not bad, it doesn’t mean that people will individually turn around their lives only with the hearing  that  the law exists.

Most people are enthusiastic when they see the movie and enthusiasm holds them a couple of hours or days. Perhaps the idea of the law gets back after a while, but even then there will be no benefit from it,  if people  ignore the fact that they have to implement specific steps and take  ACTION! In The Secret this is only lightly mentioned. For someone with no previous experience, it is very likely to forget what needs to be applied. There is the second movie, less popular Beyond The Secret that gives more attention to the most important part of the process. Think, feel, CREATE is  the entire process.

How the law of attraction works? The first advice is to THINK POSETIVELY! Tell that to someone who is really in a big trouble. Tell that to a  sick man, a child who is abused or drug addict in his crises. Would  it really be so easy for them to switch to positive thinking and everything wil be suddenly ok? Of course it doesn’t go that way.

Positive thinking can be learned and consciously developed and for that we need time and continuous work on ourselves. Reprograming our  subconscious depends on the time of presence of previous bad experiences . That requires time. But it’s worth. I personally do not agree with the idea to bury the past and just put the focus on something positive. Sabotage and mysterious action of the past could be even greater that way. We should take responsibility for the past and our life. Make peace with it.

There’s a few sentences in The Secret explaining visualization technique (when one of the actors drives an imaginary car). Autosuggestion is indirectly mentioned when it’s explained that you should not use the structure as “I am not-I can not”. Meditation and other techniques are not sufficiently emphasized, so that by the end of the movie, we don’t know what to do next. We are so joyful after watching the movie, that  looks like it’s not important. Of course the movie is not obliged to give us detailed instructions. Who really wants to work on self, will start his own research. It is not enough to sit on the couch and think positively. To realize your vision, you must move your ass and TAKE ACTION! As much as one of the laws of success is indirectly referred in The Secret, which is THE LAW OF FOCUSED ATTENTION to our goals the second law is completely missed, and that is THE LAW OF FOCUSED ENERGY!

On this blog we wrote about the significance of authentic vision, about the importance of defining and setting goals and planning, we explained how we can influence on our thoughts and emotions, even how we can make our will stronger ,which will also be more discussed. We are left to explain the specific techniques, but the blog can not implement the action instead of you! Dear friends,TAKE ACTION! The reward for your work and action is that law of attraction will work for you, equally as much energy you invest in your dreams!

In the following text,  from the personal experience I will explain when and how I think the law of attraction work for us.

HOW TO MAKE “TO DO LIST” AND INCREASE YOUR EFFICIENCY

To do list can be very powerful tool if we know how to create it properly and if we use it daily. That is the key to the straight line from point A to wished point B , the quickest way to your dream. If you apply this technique, your efficiency and productivity will be increased  at least 3 times or more.

Assumption is that you have defined, if not your vision, at least long-term, medium-and short-term goals. Without this your daily to-do list is not meaningful, because the tasks scattered randomly will not  increase your efficiency,  your attention and energy will be wasted on false and irrelevant things, your actions will not have desired reaction.

Rule No. 1: your to do list must include 3-5 tasks, obligations that are directly related to your long-term, medium term and short-term goals. Goals need to be supported with each other.

For example, your long-term goal is to publish your novel in the next year. Medium term goal is to write a novel, a short-term goal is to write a section per week, so that some of the tasks on your to do list will be for example:

-write 5 pages of the novel

- review and correct  5 pages of the novel from the previous day

- seek informations about the publisher

- read 30 pages  of inspirational literature and so forth …

Rule No.2: this should be done in advance, before going to sleep or in the morning, I believe that this is an individual matter. Personally, I like to write my to do list right before bed. In any case, it should be in a quiet environment. Get your scrapbook.

Rule . No. 3: first write everything that comes to your mind no matter how banal, but keep in front of your written plan and goals (see previous texts- 5 advices to reach your  goals and Goals).

Rule No. 4: when you finish, on a  new blank sheet make 4 equal sections. On the first section write “important and urgent”, on the second “important but not urgent”, on the third “urgent but not important”, on the fourth “neither urgent nor important”. Now, split all tasks that you wrote in this four groups. Give the priority to the category “important and urgent,” while all the tasks under “not urgent nor important” should be dumped.  Tasks from “important but not urgent” can be rescheduled for another day when you will have more time, while the tasks from “urgent but not important” you can give to someone else to do- it is okay to ask for some help.

Rule No.5: now you can start working on task by task,your list should be in front of you and do not let anybody disturbs you-turn off your cell and ect. If you have an extraordinary situation, make sure you stay cool head and make a rational decision on your time and energy.

Rule No.6: when you work on one thing or project, it can happen you get an ideas about other things. At the end of the scrapbook write down all ideas that will occur about other matters or projects, this way they will be safe. Call that part of the scrapbook – mental  safe.

Try it and do not be surprised if all of your weekly duties will be done in one or two days.

OMENTUM– FAT IN ABDOMINAL CAVITY AND YOUR WAIST

We are all obsessed by weight loss and different diets, but we are forgetting about the skinny people’s health and  health in general. I do not know how many times I have been witness of statements that indicates that person is able to endanger their health, only for fast results on the scale. People even share tips like-”start smoking!” and’’there was no fat people in Auschwitz“, two biscuits a day advice. This method was successfully implemented by buddy of mine for the second time, because when he took off from starvation first time,he  regained it all, even got a bonus!  I’ll will inform you about the second starvation and about double bonus.

The appearance itself, unless you are vain and make many from it, can not be a motive number one! IT CAN NOT! Number one is your health, your vitality and energy. Great news is that YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE THIN IN ORDER TO BE HEALTHY! To be skinny doesn’t have to do anything with health. Skinny people usually are not in good physical shape. There are various studies on this subject, which does not mean that you should celebrate this news with the chips, ice cream and other porn food! I just want you to throw away your scales and to stop thinking about numbers and to start thinking about your health! Your health is measured by your WAIST!

FAT can be  stored under your skin, but that fat is not dangerous! Only fat that is stored in your abdominal cavity can be transported to your blood. The abdominal cavity, called the omentum can store fat that is available for the liver as a fast fuel (read-high bad cholesterol and triglycerides). That  fat absorbs insulin, too, so increases the amount of sugar in the blood. Because it is located close to other organs, that fat in the abdominal cavity is pushing other organs- the diaphragm and lungs (difficulty with breathing), crushed kidney secretes hormones which increase blood pressure.

The good news is that as soon as your waistline begins to move closer to the ideal, the arteries and your immune system immediately become healthier.

For women, the ideal waist is 82.5 cm and below. From  84 cm to the health risk is increased.

For men the ideal waist is 89 cm and less, more then 100cm significantly increases the risk to health.

It is enough to quit processed food and 70%of good work is done!

5 ADVICES HOW TO REACH YOUR GOALS

In the meantime, did you start seeking pieces for your vision? Continue to work on this-think how would you like to live your life, what would you do if there are no limits? When you realize that, you have first half done! The second half is ACTION!

LAW OF SUCCESS

We have already mentioned law of action and reaction! Here, we will expand it. You see, even when you think you’re doing nothing, for example, you’re often sitting in front of the TV and eat chips for hours, you are really in a state of action. This action has a reaction, adds extra fat around your waist. Depending on which channel you watch and what you watch –you’ll have some  kind of emotional reaction- maybe you will be annoyed because of politics, feel fear for tomorrow, the day after you’ll buy a product that will maybe solve some problems of your (or not).  And just maybe you may learn something new. So there is no idle mind or body, it is an illusion. That’s how we get to THE LAW OF SUCCESS:

PROPER ACTION LEEDS TO SUCCESS, IMPROPER ACTION LEEDS TO FAILURE!!! 

Could not be easier! Here we come to the right line you should “draw” from your point A to goal point B! In other words, what you need for action is SIMPLE and GREAT PLAN!!!!! Plan that will accurately step-by-step lead you to your wildest dreams.

ADVICE I: If you have no idea how to achieve your dream, find someone who has already done it or someone who has done something similar you want! Begin to explore what this person exactly did to reach that goal! The ideas will start to flow!

ADVICE II: You can build your plan in two directions-from point A to point B or from point B to point A (backwards) – just ask yourself for each step what is the next or previous  logical step! Write all this in your notebook! Goals can be long term (requires several years for their achievement 1-3 years), medium term (several months to a year) and short (days, weeks).

ADVICE III: All your goals should be in synergy- the long-term support your vision, medium-term support long-term goals, short-term support medium-term goals.

ADVICE  IV: In one period of time you should be focused on one long-term goal, one medium term and one short-term goal. When you accomplish your short-term goal, you give yourself a new short-term goal. When you accomplish your medium term goal, set a new one. When you accomplish your long-term, set a new one!

ADVICE V: Once you’ve set your goals, based your TO DO LIST on them! Buy a small notebook specifically for this purpose!

How to make daily to-do list and how to make maximum from it, in the following text.

SUGAR-PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1. (PART II)

Blood sugar is not only important for people who have diabetes. Most people with a normal amount of sugar in the blood has a higher value after the meal. Sugar can significantly vary during the day and make real chaos in the body. 

The normal amount of sugar between meals is below 6.2 mmol / l, and immediately after a meal is lower than 8.6 mmol / l. We tend to think that diabetes is a purely genetic disease, but it is not. For diabetes type II  a more important factor is your lifestyle and habits. Did you know that  if you have diabetes for each year you lived you get 1.5 year really? Studies have shown that men  who have a waist larger than 100 cm and women  larger then  94 cm have  12 times increased risk of developing diabetes. Abdominal fat  absorbs insulin, so the level of sugar is higher in your blood. Insulin receptors on the cells do not permit the transfer of glucose by insulin. Glucose wanders around in the blood and damages the artery wall and the risk of high blood pressure is increased, immune system gets weak. Glucose is then connecting with proteins (we wrote about gliycation ) – which is cause of cataracts, joint deformity ,lung problems and premature aging.

However, YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR  GENES by habits! Avoid simple sugars, trans and saturated fat and spend 1000 cal per week through physical activity, walk counts. This way muscles become more sensitive to insulin. If you want to find out how your body cope with the amount of sugar, measure your blood sugar between meals, and again two hours after consuming 75g of sugar.

Never eat sweets alone, eat a hand of nuts before sweets  or a little olive oil, it will slow release of sugar in the blood.

GOALS

Have a clear idea of exactly what you want, crystal clear goals are half work done. If you don’t define your goals, you can not make a great plan that will guide you, step by step  to success.

The first rule is that goals have to be personal and not someone else’s. Don’t spend the whole  life meeting the needs and desires of others and put aside your own. Don’t be surprised with your lack of motivation then. We are all egoists, life is personal thing. It is better to be satisfied than dissatisfied egoist. Dissatisfied egoist would act like victim, while satisfied egoist will be much more positive toward their environment and willing to help without the involvement of personal interests. Mother Teresa said ones that everything she had done, it was for selfish reasons, because it felt  good. If you think you are not egoist, ask yourself the question- why you are doing something concrete? In most cases the answer will be to be more loved, valued, respected. 

Let’s not be hypocrite and say -YES! I AM IMPORTANT, my desires and goals are IMPORTANT!

If you don’t know what you want, define the issues that bothers you at all fields. Define your starting point-where are you in comparison to where you want to be. All books about selfimprovement mention “the objective principle” – to be fair to ourselves and situation where we are. The goals should be truly possible, and within the true potential- DREAM BIG! For example: if you want to lose weight, you need to measure yourself (identifying the starting point A) to determine the desired weight (the target point B). If your goal is to earn more money, you need to determine how  much you are earning now per month, year, and in relation to the desired lifestyle to determine future earnings. If you do not know exactly how much money you need, you will not know how to get them. If you want a new car, you should know exactly which model you want.

The third thing about the goals are deadlines. While some suggest that we should determine the exact date -subconscious works better this way, others are against the date, because the deadline may be unrealistic, and if something is not achieved within that period, may affect our confidence and could discourage us. Personally I agree with the second, but a framework of time can always be predicted.

The more energy and concentration you devote to your goals, the greater are the chances to achieve them.

Did you know that the quickest way to get from point A to point B is a straight line between these two points?

SUGAR- PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE!

I want to tell you fantastic news! The first is that the disease is not something that is inevitable to aging and the second-food you eat can confront the disease and aging.

The simplest thing you can do for your health is to avoid sugar.

When we say sugar, we mean the food that is quickly released as sugar (glucose) in our blood, simple carbohydrates or carbohydrates with high glycemic index (GI). Proper nutrition will be based mainly on food that has  GI below 50 and occasionally food that has a value between 50-70. Food with higher value should be consumed with food high in protein, which would slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream. 

Sugar is released into the bloodstream and it is delivered to cells in the brain and muscles as a source of fuel. When the sugar in the blood crosses the appropriate limit, the body reacts by producing insulin (hormone produced in the pancreas). If sugar is not needed for the production of energy it will be stored in the form of fat. The more sugar we take, the more insulin we produce. More insulin, more fat to be stored and there will be no degradation of earlier deposited fat. Over time the body becomes less sensitive to insulin. The body is forced to produce more of it (insulin resistance). Second as the result of this, body produces free radicals -the main causes of premature aging and degradation of proteins.

When sugar falls we feel hunger. When we feel hunger body produce glucagon, hormone responsible for burning the existing fat for energy production.

Besides sweets, potatoes, biscuits, bread, pasta and chips, body identically reacts to stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, alcohol.

You have a problem:

- if you’re sleepy after waking up, and you need coffee, cigarettes to clear your mind and to boost your energy

-you always need to eat something sweet

-you can’t lose weight

- after meal you feel that your energy level is low

-during the day you often change the mood and have problem with concentration

-you don’t have energy for physical activity

-when you have a longer time without food you are nervous or dizzy

- you can’t handle the stress

-you often have headaches…

l think that most healthy people can allow themselves occasional “cheat meals” without quilt. The best principle is 80/20- if you eat  80% of good food most of the time, enjoy 20% in food you desire.

Inform  yourself about GI here.
