The Secret – a guide to the Law of Attraction

The Secret - by Rhonda Byrne
The Secret – using the law of attraction in your life.

Law of attraction

The law of attraction is that like attracts like.  The energy that you are putting out into the universe will be what the universe sends back to you.  Put out positive affirming energy.  The secret boils down to these 3 steps:

  1. Ask for what you want.  State what you want in the positive present tense.
  2. Believe.  Believe that the universe (or God, or love, whatever you choose) will provide for you exactly what you asked.
  3. Receive.  What you send out you receive.  You may want to think about how any bad you may be receiving now could be negative messages that you sent out in the past.

Be aware of the messages you are sending out.  What things are you saying to others?  What are you saying to yourself?

Happy – a documentary film

Happy movie
The Happy movie

Have you wondered about happiness? I recently watched a documentary film “Happy” and I highly recommend it to others.  If you want further information on the movie I’ve included links to the movie on imdb.com, the Internet Movie DataBase, one of my favorite sites as I’m a movie aficionado.

The movie interviews several different people and how they achieve happiness in their lives.  The movie also discusses the brain and how it experiences happiness through neurotransmitters.

Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead – a great film

If you’d like to see an inspirational film about a man who transforms his life, and films the process then I highly recommend “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead”.  It is available streaming on Netflix and you can also watch it for free at http://www.jointhereboot.com/

He was severely overweight and battling a chronic auto-immune disease.  He was sick and tired of being sick and tired. He decided to do a 60 day juice fast while traveling across America, and he filmed the whole process.  He lost an amazing amount of weight and his health improved enough that he no longer needed medicine to manage his disease.  Give it a look.

For further info on the film see here – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1227378/

Stress: a documentary

I watched a documentary last night on Netflix, “Stress: Portrait of a Killer” http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/National_Geographic_Stress_Portrait_of_a_Killer/70107420?trkid=438403

It was very informative.  One of the interesting things discussed was the impact that social status has on stress.  High ranking baboons and British civil servants (I kid you not) have low levels of stress and stress related diseases.  Their lower ranking colleagues had much higher levels of stress and stress related diseases. 

Further into the episode they talked about control and how lower ranking people (baboons) have less control.  Here is where we are different from the baboons.  We do have control.  We can control how we respond emotionally and behaviorally to the varied events of our lives.  Take control of your responses today so that you can lower stress, and lessen the impacts of stress related diseases.

Just wondering… is anyone willing to groom me? <grin>
