Use the Law of Attraction to Create Your Ideal Life and Dental Practice

by Allison Watts, DDS

There are times when I feel really lucky or notice that I’m “in the flow”. I’m sure you’ve noticed that in your life, too. I always appreciate when it happens and when it does, I know I’ve tapped into the Law of Attraction. Sometimes I “tap in” on purpose and sometimes not. This is a process anyone can develop with practice and a process some of the most successful people I know use.

You may have seen or read "The Secret" and you may or may not believe in the Law of Attraction, but it’s working whether you believe it or not. The Secret was a popular book that was released in 2006. It taught the age-old principles behind the Law of Attraction. For many people, it’s a transformative work that teaches and encourages positive thought and the way to achieve happiness, good health, and wealth.

The Law of Attraction, also called the Law of Abundance, uses our own thoughts and emotions to shape reality. Simply stated, if you have a positive attitude, you’ll attract positive things and if you have a cruddy attitude, you’ll attract cruddy things. The Law of Attraction states that “like attracts like”.

The Law of Attraction isn’t just a new-age fad. The idea has been around for thousands of years. Plato, Winston Churchill, Henry Ford and Martin Luther King, Jr. and many other leaders spoke about and used the Law of Attraction in their visionary works. These principles are also in the Bible. Learning how to use the Law of Attraction puts you in good company.

Many of us believe that our options are limited, so it’s shocking when we find out that we have the power within us to change our lives! Our current situation is only a temporary set back and we have the capability to change it all. We have a choice.

Basically, if we have a bad attitude and are not happy with the results we are getting in our life, the Law of Attraction can work in our favor if we change our inner dialogue and mindset. Whatever our deepest desires are, we want to create new thought patterns wherever we want to see new results.

It works best if we habitually focus on the positive things in our lives and don’t complain or worry about our current situation—focus on what we want, not what we don’t want. One of the keys to having this law work for you is to see and imagine in your mind’s eye how you would like your ideal life to be! When done correctly, you can create the life of your dreams! 

When we utilize the Law of Attraction, three things happen:

1. People treat us better and opportunities come up that weren't available before.

2. We recognize those opportunities and take them.

3. The Universe brings us even closer to our goals. Unexpected things will fall into our lap almost magically.

When we are living in a state of bliss and following our heart, the Universe responds to our every wish! If you apply these principles, you will notice the Law of Attraction working in your life. Things will just appear out of nowhere like magic! At first you may think it is just coincidence, but you will soon realize that you are attracting what you want and desire! Living the life you want is just six steps away!

Here’s how to make the Law of Attraction work for you:

1. Choose what you want.

If I were to ask you what you want in life, practice, or any specific area of your life, what would you say?

For some of us, it's much easier to know what we don't want, so that’s what we think about. The problem is that whatever you focus on expands, so any time you think about something you hate, you put energy into it and attract more of it. Switch it around to think about what you DO want!

2. Rate the things you want on a 1-10 scale.

3. Know why you want them.

4. Believe you can have it. Rate your belief level on a 1-10 scale.

Take a piece of paper and divide it into five columns. In the first, write what you don't want. In the second, write the opposite of that, which is what you do want. In the third column, rate how bad you want it on a 1-10 scale, 1 means not at all and10 means you gotta have it. In the fourth column, write briefly why you want it. In the fifth column, rate your belief level on a 1-10 scale (1 is you don’t believe you can have it and 10 is you know it’s coming). This will help you get clear on your goals and motivate you to focus on them.

One of the reasons some people don’t believe in the law of attraction is because the one time it doesn’t work is if you don’t believe you will have it, even if it’s a subconscious belief. See some of my previous articles for more about subconscious beliefs.

5. Feel good and see yourself with what you want.

The Law of Attraction will bring you what you want if you put out positive emotions and see yourself experiencing what you want. One way to feel good is to start an abundance journal and write out all those dreams, wishes, and fantasies. This helps the mind get ready for transforming those thoughts into happiness-attracting actions. Another tool for visualizing what you want is a vision board. You can create a digital vision board or “Mind Movie” or make one by hand with paper, pen, pictures and magazine clippings of what you want. This will invoke the Law of Attraction.

Feel happy and positive, both about your goal and about life in general. Feel gratitude for what you have, appreciate things and people around you, and know how great things will be when you have your goals.  Feel as if you already have it.

The time you spend every day thinking about problems and worrying about things can be redirected. Instead of thinking about what’s wrong or what could go wrong, think about what’s right and how it can go right. Simply use your downtime, in line, or while driving, to think positively, and things will transform.

6. Take inspired action

The easiest place to start to take action is with the things on your list that are high in want and belief. In other words, you want them really bad and believe that you will have them beyond a doubt. These are the things that are in the “sweet spot” for manifestation.

One of the challenges a lot of people have with the Law of Attraction is that they believe good things can’t come without hard work. You can work hard if you want to, but the more positively you think, the less struggle you will have. Whatever path you're on, there is probably an easier way. Using the Law of Attraction is the surest way to cut down the effort needed for success.

When you see something in front of you that seems applicable to your goals in life, don't hesitate–take the next step and see what happens. Most likely, another obvious step will appear, and one after that.

In my experience and those of my clients and friends, if you're prepared to do the hard work, but open to the idea that it could be easy, things tend to just fall into place so you glide through life a lot more smoothly.

I invite you to research more on your own. Applying these strategies will get you far, but you'll have a lot more fun once you've mastered the whole thing. This is a work in progress for me. When I use these principles, they work and when I forget… I don’t attract what I want!

Happy Creating!
