Sorry for the long hiatus! I have been super busy with some new projects and with classes so I haven't had the time to keep up with the blog posts the past month.
Today's topic - developing good self-motivating habits for Law of Attraction
Everyone has them - habits that become so routine you don't really think about them, but do them regularly as if on autopilot. Brushing your teeth, showering, exercise etc. are all examples of habits we get into that just become a normal, routine part of our daily lives.
Turning law of attraction practices into new habits is a great way to ensure they will begin to work for you in your daily life. Every morning when I wake up I consciously shift my thoughts to positive things - even if I am facing some challenges that day I focus on being grateful for having what I need to meet them head on. I also focus on positive goals for that day and make a short list of things I want to accomplish that I can cross off. (seeing progress is motivational and boosts energy levels)
Starting off the day motivated, with a "can do" attitude helps the whole day flow smoother. If you get out of bed thinking "oh man I'll never get it all done or I have to do all this stuff I don't want to do etc.." it will drag you down and lower your vibration and things will not flow smoothly. Being positive gives you great energy, and more energy means more ability to get things done.
Each day start your day in ways that develop positive energy.
Before you get out of bed spend 5-10 minutes focusing on positives - motivate yourself.
When you get up move your body and exercise. Everyone can make time to exercise in the morning, even if it's only a few minutes. Do yoga, do aerobics, do whatever but move your body. This gives you more energy and makes the body and the mind work more efficiently.
Make a daily "to do" list and cross things off so that you see you are making progress.
In the evening before you go to bed - take time to relax and meditate for a bit focusing on what you are grateful for and what you accomplished. Really allow yourself to feel gratitude for the day you just had and how wonderful it was and how much you are looking forward to tomorrow.
These are not just "nice ideas" they need to be formed into a routine. Developing positive habits helps to ensure more overall peace of mind. Those who are peaceful and feeling positive manifest more of the "good stuff" they want to see in life.

Universal Laws to Help You Heal Faster
As you know, the universal laws are centered around focusing on what you DO want to manifest. One time I can think of that it becomes difficult to do this and keep our vibration up is when we are ill. At some point, everyone gets a virus or doesn't feel well.
Can Visualization Help You Heal? - Yes!
One of the fastest ways to feel better when you are ill is to take a mental vacation from the body. Visualization allows you to enter a meditative state where your focus shifts from being uncomfortable or ill - to being well. As you visualize your body healing and feeling well again and allow yourself to be carried deeply into that and it raises your energy levels (which facilitate faster recovery).
Distancing yourself a bit from focusing on how your body feels can be very helpful because it keeps you from getting sucked into the spiral of "I feel so bad, my body hurts, I'm tired, I wish I could sleep, my nose is stuffy, etc... The more you focus on physical symptoms the more pronounced they become. You obviously don't want that ;) so the next time you have a bout of the flu or a cold - take time away from it and visualize/meditate on feelings of gratitude for healing and on wellness. What we focus on manifests - so focus on feeling good!
Embrace The Break...
Another challenge with illness for those of us with busy lives tends to be we start to panic or worry that things won't get done. Perhaps we feel guilty for taking time off etc. Sometimes the hidden blessing of sickness is enforced down time! Take that down time and embrace it. Worrying about what you are missing isn't going to help the situation and it isn't going to make you heal faster. Instead take the opportunity to read a good book, work on some needlepoint, rent a couple of movies you want to see etc. ENJOY the time off - this will also raise your healing vibes :).

Creating a Sanctuary - Instantly Raise Your Vibrations & Improve Your Energy
We all know that like energy attracts like energy - for that reason it is very important that your home has at least one area that is serene and allows you to detach and feel at ease.
We just recently redid our bedroom with beautiful soothing colors, a comfortable bed, nice draperies and accented it with nice pillows, candles, a Buddha statue and other items that invoke a sense of serenity. Having this sanctuary gives us a place away from the kids where we can go to take a breather when we need to. It also gives us a lovely location to reconnect with each other.
Ideally all rooms in your home should be free of clutter, function well and feel inviting - however those of us with small kids and pets know that is almost always easier said than done ;). Having one room that is "adults only" - be it a bedroom or a den etc. is a great way to have a serene space that you can keep clean and welcoming. Sometimes a five minute escape to your home sanctuary is all that is needed to instantly elevate your vibration.
When you design your room declare it to be a place of peace and restoration and that once you cross through that door you will no longer focus on anxiety, worry, anger and other life draining things and instead focus only on relaxation, inspiration, etc.
This is a great way to get your vibrations up every day - so invest in your space and make it your own.
For our space we chose blues that remind us of our favorite Ocean hideaways. The soft whites/greys with the blues instantly calm and relax us. The wall art we are about to place is all ocean/island themed with soft muted colors. This room is so relaxing now and as soon as we walk in we feel instantly at peace and "cozy at home"
Our next project will be the dining room which is already nice but we are wanting to recreate it in a way that is very welcoming and open to our friends/family and gives them a sense of ease and love when they enter our home (our entry way goes straight into the dining room area).
Choose an area of your house that is your own and finish that first - then next focus on the area you want to use that welcomes others and makes them feel the high vibrational energy that your home embodies. :)
