Action andThe Law of Attraction
by Anne H. Spencer, Ph.D.

People do not attract that which they want, but that which they are, said James Allen in his book As A Man Thinketh. To put it another way: Action follows thought!
Many persons want a better life, more money, better health, more power over their circumstances and yet they never seem to achieve their goals.
It is really very basic when you think about it. To attract a better life you must live a better life, to attract better health you must do what healthy people do, to have more money you must learn what wealthy people do, to be powerful you must first have power over your own actions. If you are to reach your goals you must be willing to do what it takes for their achievement.
Many people work very hard and diligently and sacrifice greatly in an effort to create wealth, but have none. Wealthy people don't think and act the way they do because they have wealth. They have wealth because they think and act that way.
Many people are on a diet today who will lose weight and then gain it all back. Slim people don't think and act the way they do because they're slim. They're slim because they think and act that way.
In order to change behavior, the subconscious ‘mind set’ must be changed before the conscious mind will move in the direction of the desired goal. One of the simplest ways to do this is through hypnosis (mental and physical relaxation, plus imagining the goal in the present tense using all of the senses possible, positive self talk and giving thanks for the attainment of the goal). This process may or may not require a hypnotherapist. It does require desire, belief and expectancy and a commitment to using the hypnotic protocol for at least 30 days. It takes that long to establish a new habit pattern. In addition, one must act as though the goal was already obtained.
For example, to be thin one must eat less and move more. A program designed to achieve this needs to be realistic and doable. Persistence is the key. The same goes for all goals.
To sit around and daydream and expect change is not the answer. When the work is done on the mental level then the physical manifestation will follow if the person commits to taking the action necessary. Goals are achieved one step at a time. Each step breeds a feeling of accomplishment and this leads to confidence which allows for the next step to be taken. As they say in sales: Make a plan and work the plan.
Success breeds success therefore as Goethe, the German philosopher, once wrote: Before you can do something, you first must be something.
May your goals manifest easily and effortlessly.
