12. Candy’s Low Waste Journey

What is the Law of Attraction, why does it work, what are some manifestation habits to achieve our goals and desires, and how do we use it effectively? In this episode, I talk about how limiting beliefs hold us back in life and from being our best selves, as well as how to use the “Act as if” method and repeat positive affirmations in the present tense as ways to manifest your dream life.&nbsp; Key Takeaways:<ol><li>The energy you put out (consisting of your beliefs, feelings, thoughts, words, and actions), determines the feedback you receive. Your thoughts have so much influence in creating your reality.&nbsp;</li><li>Limiting beliefs all hold us back in life and from reaching our full potential. If these thoughts are in your belief system, then you’re going to attract that reality, which makes it harder for you to be your best self and be at your best.</li><li>The Law of Attraction does not give you full and total control of your life. We can’t always control our circumstances, so it’s important not to blame ourselves for negative events that are outside of our control. What we can do is control our responses to what happens in our lives. We’re not in control of the world, but we can be in control of ourselves and our reactions to things.&nbsp;</li><li>Align yourself with your desires, free yourself from doubt and fear, replace your worries with thoughts of appreciation and gratitude, and in turn, your perspectives and expectations will change, opening up the possibility that amazing things are coming into your life.&nbsp;</li><li>Be patient and persistent in your intentions and desires until they become reality.&nbsp;</li><li>“Acting as if” has the potential to help you work through unfavorable habits and patterns, and change your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. Act the part, speak the part, look the part, and believe. Believe that who you aspire to be exists within you.&nbsp;</li><li>Take action, put the work in, and be a collaborator with the universe in bringing you new opportunities and connections in life.</li></ol> Blog: <a href="http://happierwithming.wordpress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://happierwithming.wordpress.com/</a> P.S. Did you notice that this episode is 11:11 long, the 11th ep, and uploaded on Aug 11? None of this was planned.. an awesome coincidence. Time for me to do some research on why I keep seeing the number 11 and what 1111 means in numerology :o &nbsp;<a href="https://lonerwolf.com/1111-meaning/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lonerwolf.com/1111-meaning/</a>&nbsp; — music by Dyalla Swain&nbsp;<a href="http://soundcloud.com/dyallas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://soundcloud.com/dyallas</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.purple-planet.com</a>

We are possible of living great, meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Is the purpose in life just to go through life and have fun? How can one find happiness?&nbsp; A big part of being happy is becoming the person that you wish to be, which can be achieved by setting goals and accomplishing them, in order to help us become the best version of ourselves, while lifting others up along the way. ~ We are possible of living great, meaningful, fulfilling lives.~ We are able to persist in the face of hardship and adversity, no matter what our history or background is.&nbsp;~ We can be resilient to the stressors and pressures in our lives, whether they are big or small.~ We can reach our life’s fullest potential.&nbsp;

Each and every day is one for you to create and engage in something positive and good in your life.&nbsp;

5. Not Your Typical Quarantine Weekend

Your eyes will thank you

What you do during the first hour of your day directly influences and sets the tone for how the rest of your day may go. Try to build a habit of not checking your devices for the first hour of your day. By doing this, you can begin your day in the here &amp; now, with a positive focus, and in a place of inner peace and control. If you start your day with intention, it sets your productivity for the rest of the day. We also talk about 4 strategies for reducing your screen time during this digital age of information over-consumption:&nbsp;1) Build a schedule2) Set a timer3) Make a list of things to do that don’t involve electronics4) Create phone-free spaces Your eyes will thank you
