Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better


This is a most powerful phrase left to us by the father of autosuggestion, Émile Coué.  Used properly, it really works.  Not just to heal disease, although there is much evidence that proper use of the phrase does just that, but also to help us achieve whatever it is we want to achieve.  You could even say it is the one phrase which draws together all the diverse strands of self-improvement philosophies.

I did say “used properly” though, so let us look at this phrase a little more carefully.

 

Every Day

Important words!  What this tells us is that any method of self-improvement we select has to be regular for it to work properly.

How many times have I heard people say this or that method doesn’t work?  And when asked, the complainer admits he or she only used it a few times and then gave up!

No matter what you may be trying to improve in yourself, and no matter what method you may be using to do so, you must keep going.  Almost certainly when you start you will encounter resistance.  Inner and outer resistance.  Your own subconscious mind will start voicing doubts.  Crush them.  You cannot afford to let them germinate.  Family and friends will tell you that it will not work, or that you are not strong enough to keep going.  Ignore them.  Keep practicing every day and you will achieve your goal.

 

In Every Way

Self-improvement is holistic.  It should not centre on one narrow aspect but should permeate your whole being, your whole life.  If it does, it will start to reflect back on itself, and that reflection will make the whole process more powerful and more effective.

Take a good look at whatever you are doing now to improve yourself.  Have you interpreted it too narrowly?  Can you extend it into other areas of your life in ways you had never considered before?

The more you can extend it into a complete system, touching all aspects of your being, the more effective you will find it.  And probably the more enjoyable and compelling you will find it will become.

 

I Am Getting

I have studied many systems of self-improvement, some of which are very obscure and little known.  In all my years of study I have never yet found one that provides instant results.  Why?  Because there is no system of instant self-improvement.

Every system requires sustained effort.  Put in that effort and you will find you start, gradually, getting results.  Not suddenly reaching the goal.  But slowly, step by step, getting closer to where you want to be.

 

Better & Better

Note the positive statement here.  This is vital.  Never focus on the weakness you are trying to remove, the problem you are trying to conquer.  If you do, then it is that weakness, that problem which will surface.  Always focus on the positive result you wish to achieve.

 

I Am Getting Better & Better

Having focused on it, visualise it and accept it into your life, knowing you have now achieved it.  How does that make you feel?  What can you do now, given you have achieved what you wanted?  Bask in that feeling.  And at the same time express thanks to the Universe (or God, or whatever you call “It”, “Her” or “Him”) for granting your this gift.

That is a really key part of the phrase Coué left us.  He did not tell us to say “I will get better and better”, but “I am getting better and better”.

Our subconscious mind is like a computer.  Powerful but stupid.  Able to calculate perfectly and make amazing things happen around it, but believing everything it is told, no matter how silly it might sound.  By telling it you have already achieved this you will make it believe you, and it will then act to draw to you all that pertains to this state you have told it you have achieved.

I hope you have found this little article helpful.  Whatever path you are pursuing, try putting what I have said here into effect and I know you will find you can achieve so much more.  And let me know how it goes for you by commenting back here in this blog.

The Law of Attraction is the Most Powerful Force in the Universe

What is the Law of Attraction?

It is the most powerful force in the Universe and means simply that you attract what you think about - whether you want it or not.

When I first learned of the Law of Attraction, I knew I had found everything I had been seeking - my direct connection to God, Spirit, the Universe.

This Universal Law states that all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. The implications of this Law are vast, and the Law holds true for all known Universes.

When our thoughts are in harmony with our highest desires, we are filled with joy and ecstasy. When we learn to set forth our thoughts consciously, we increasingly attract thought of a higher vibration and raise the level of thought at which we habitually vibrate.

You will notice that people who speak most of health have it; people who speak most of illness have it; people who speak most of prosperity have it. That is the Law of Attraction in Action!

Putting the Law of Attraction to work for you can be as simple as the following these three steps:

1. Identify and be clear about what you want

2. Expect that the Universe/God/Spirit answers

3. Allow and be grateful AS IF you have already received what you want


It really is as simple as that. You will get what you think about... so why not learn to think deliberately about what you do want?

Building on the benefits of "The Secret"

There is a growing number of resources and information on this topic, so the question is, what is the best book on the Law of Attraction? The answer to this is pretty easy… obviously the best book on the Law of Attraction is “The Secret” (haha). Okay, so you have probably already read the secret, so where to go from here?

Many people have already read The Secret and still find their lives in a slump. Could The Secret really be complete if so many people have read it but still find themselves repeating their old and boring lives, unable to attract the wealth and positive lifestyle that they have always wanted? Maybe you are finding yourself in these shoes? Not to worry, there is always another step along this long and unpredictable journey here on Planet Earth that we all call “Life”.

I think the best way to attract success and positive help from the universe is to be consistent and honest. We need to follow our intuitions, but also not get caught up in our emotions either. Sometimes something will excite us, and that is exactly when we need to use our intuition to guide us to the right decisions and to the right knowledge.

Consistency paints a clear picture for the universe about what you really want. It sends a clear message to the power that is out there, so that the Universe knows exactly what to send back your way. Often, this all comes down to our thinking process and daily mental patterns. So what better way to fill our minds with the right perspective than to read a book on the Law of Attraction?

So maybe reading The Secret again for the 3rd time doesn’t sound like it will help, in fact it might make you feel more discouraged, as if you are repeating something in your past. How about moving forward with some fresh info? I found this site by a man named Bob Proctor (sound familiar?). If you are looking for a new and fresh book on the law of attraction, then definitely read over his site called The 11 Forgotten Laws.

You never know what might be under that next stone just waiting to be overturned. I hope you enjoy Bob’s new project, and I hope it gives you that boost you are looking for. Remember to always be calm, be patient, and be sensitive to where you feel your intuition is guiding you. Knowledge is power, and the ultimate power is the Universe itself. Good luck!
