9 Habits To Manifest Your Dreams Using The Law Of Attraction

It's not easy, but here are nine helpful habits you can implement right now to start using the law of attraction to manifest your dreams:

Start by noting what you instinctively focus on. Do you usually pay attention to what's going right in life, or what's going wrong? When you're working on manifesting your dreams, obstacles and challenges will inevitably arise. But when you focus on what's right, you become more of a problem-solver and can move through these obstacles with more ease.

Since the brain has a negativity bias1, it's no surprise that people are inclined to worry all the time. In order to kick the habit, try keeping a "worry list" for two weeks where you write down worries the second they come to you. This practice will not only help release the heavy energy that often keeps us stuck, but it will also help you review your worries after the fact to see if any of them were actually warranted or not. Your brain will then have proof that worrying is often a waste of energy.

Breathing from your belly, not your chest, spend a few minutes making your exhales longer than your inhales. If your inhale is 6 counts, make your exhale 8 counts, for example. This type of breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for our rest-and-digest response. It will help produce a sense of relaxation and contentment and allow you to approach life with a clearer head.

Meditation quiets the monkey mind, which is naturally biased toward negativity. Remember: Meditating will NOT stop your thoughts, but it will show you how fleeting they are. Therefore, it can help you withdraw attention from stressful, negative patterns that your mind has created over time.

Negative emotions get stored in our bodies on a cellular level. Moving is one way to release stress and negative energy. It doesn't have to be intense; you can dance, practice yoga, or go for a walk.

Gratitude is one of the simplest ways to raise your positive vibrations. When we recognize our great fortune and appreciate all our blessings, it automatically puts us into a "feel-good" energetic vibration.

Writing down a list of your goals will help you get clear and take more inspired action. Be sure that when you do, you connect to your "why"—the feeling that you hope will come when you achieve this goal.

Once you've written down your goals and connected with your why, read from the list first thing in the morning and right before bed every day. Take a few minutes to visualize and connect with the feeling of achieving your dreams.

Whether or not you subscribe to the law of attraction principles, at the very least implementing these habits can help you get clear on exactly what you want—and they might just help you get it, too.
