It Really Worked
So I've been talking about the law of attraction for a little bit now. I've only been researching it for a little longer than I've been posting about it, so its still very fresh in my life. I say this because something happened earlier in the week and it shocked me.
As I mentioned in a previous post, the law of attraction, for me, is manifesting ideas and thoughts that carry positive energy. By putting them into the universe we are inviting more positive vibes into our lives. I started doing this by stating affirmations on things that I am grateful for in my life. I only do it when I remember to do it, but nonetheless, a little can still go a long way. Plus, this kind of thing shouldn't be rushed or forced, otherwise I believe it ruins the entire universe's process.
Fast forward to earlier this week. I'd only consciously manifested the things I'd mentioned in my previous post up until that point, but I was still doing a little research on LOA. I'm sitting at my desk at work, glance at the clock and it reads 11:11. For those who don't know what that means, in terms of LOA, the number 1 repeated represents a sign of quick manifestations where the universe is telling you it's manifesting your thoughts and putting them into form right now. So obviously when I saw the time, I stopped whatever I was doing at my computer, put my head down, closed my eyes and started dreaming. I completely let my mind be free and dreamed whatever came to mind. The first, and main manifestation that came up was "to be surrounded with love". At first I started toying with the idea of my future husband and what he could look like, or act like. I veered off for a couple seconds thinking that maybe I should manifest travel, but then doubt came over me about that, and love took over again so I just held onto that and what it meant to me.
The next thing I know, I looked up and the clock read 11:12. The time had come and gone. So now I waited. Honestly though I wasn't really waiting for anything in particular. It's sort of similar to after finishing a yoga class. Your mind just feels open and relaxed; all your thoughts are gone and you just feel content. So that's how I felt after I manifested love in my life. But here's where it gets crazy.
I pick up my phone to look at my notifications on my home screen. My mom had texted me that I had an envelope delivered to the house. At first I was confused why there would be a letter, then I realised I had one outstanding delivery left from the last month of online shopping. It was the necklace from Billy! If you remember, I mentioned it in my Valentine's Day post! It had finally arrived after 3 weeks. You may not find this that crazy but here's the kicker. The item I had bought was a necklace. I bought it for myself for Valentine's Day because I wanted to treat myself. I don't have a significant other to "treat" me during the "holiday", which I am not bitter about by the way, so I saw no harm in buying myself a little treat.
Anyways, this necklace symbolized alot for me. It was engraved with a heart, and I already own a heart necklace which my parents gave me for my 18th birthday and I've worn everyday since. But this new necklace represented my independence to be able to buy myself a very nice piece of jewelery but also was meant as the ultimate "love yourself" gift. And it delivered. Clearly the Law of Attraction worked, and along the way, the universe gave me message that I needed to hear from a higher power when I least expected it.
I manifested to be surrounded by people who love me, and/or have love in general. In that moment I was thinking about a significant other, my friends, my family, but I wasn't thinking about myself. I believe that the universe was trying to show me that love is relative. I had this picture in my head that when I wanted love, I wanted it from the people around me, but in reality it reminded me to remember to love myself before anyone else. Whatever the relationship is, love must come from the inside out. So without loving yourself, you'll never be able to fully love someone else.
I feel like we all know this already, and so do I, or so I thought I did. I have to stop thinking and wishing for someone else to love and appreciate me, before I can do the same for myself first. I know one day I'll get there, but I'm not there yet. And when I do get there, I probably won't even realize it.
It's never a "flip or the switch" kind of change to tackle in life, but with the Universe giving me this blatantly obvious sign, I can't ignore it. So for myself, and all of you, I strongly suggest you try out the Law of Attraction because it surprise me and gave me clarity when I least expected it, which is exactly when the Universe does the best kind of magic.
Also remember to give love to yourself before sharing that love with others. Otherwise, if you give it away first, you may not have any left for yourself at the end of the day.
