Kristie T’s Home Business Blog Fun, mom-geared work-at-home tips and advice on making money on the net.

With all the negativity in the world, it’s really important to sending yourself positive, affirming messages about your dreams and goals. And this morning I inspired to create my own Dream show.

I thought about what I wanted in every area of my life:
faith, career, romance, friendship, fitness, health, fun, self care, personal development, family

Then I wrote a series of I am statements. These are statements in the postive tense about what you want in your life. Then I created dream show using those dream images and writing my I Am statements in them.

Take a look here!

I hope this inspires you to create your own Dream Campaign and attract what you want into your life!

All my best,

Kristie T

Long before The Secret came out, Thomas Leonard was teaching about the Law of Attraction.

Here are the 28 Principles of Attraction from Thomas Leonard’s book, “The Portable Coach“

1. BECOME INCREDIBLY SELFISH.
WITHOUT YOU, THERE IS NOTHING, AND ATTRACTION ISN’T POSSIBLE.

2. UNHOOK YOURSELF FROM THE FUTURE.
ATTRACTION WORKS IN THE PRESENT, NOT IN THE FUTURE.

3. OVERRESPOND TO EVERY EVENT.
BY OVER-RESPONDING INSTEAD OF OVERREACTING, YOU EVOLVE, WHICH IS VERY ATTRACTIVE.

4. BUILD A SUPERRESERVE IN EVERY AREA.
HAVING ENOUGH IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BE IRRESISTIBLY ATTRACTIVE.

5. ADD VALUE JUST FOR THE JOY OF IT.
WHEN YOU ADD VALUE BECAUSE YOU ENJOY IT, PEOPLE ARE NATURALLY ATTRACTED TO YOU.

6. AFFECT OTHERS PROFOUNDLY.
THE MORE YOU TOUCH OTHERS, THE MORE ATTRACTIVE YOU’LL BECOME.

7. MARKET YOUR TALENTS SHAMELESSLY.
IF YOU’RE EMBARRASSED ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WELL, YOU WON’T BE VERY ATTRACTIVE.

8. BECOME IRRESISTIBLY ATTRACTIVE TO YOURSELF.
HOW CAN YOU ATTRACT OTHERS IF YOU DON’T FEEL IRRESISTIBLY ATTRACTIVE TO YOURSELF?

9. GET A FULFILLING LIFE, NOT JUST AN IMPRESSIVE LIFESTYLE.
A GREAT LIFE IS ATTRACTIVE; A LIFESTYLE IS USUALLY SEDUCTIVE.

10. DELIVER TWICE WHAT YOU PROMISE.
WHEN YOU CONSISTENTLY DELIVER MORE THAN WAS EXPECTED, NEW CUSTOMERS ARE DRAWN TO YOU.

11. CREATE A VACUUM WHICH PULLS YOU FORWARD.
BEING PULLED FORWARD IS ATTRACTIVE; PUSHING FORWARD IS NOT.

12. ELIMINATE DELAY.
TIME IS EXPENSIVE AND THUS IS VERY UNATTRACTIVE.

13. GET YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS MET, ONCE AND FOR ALL.
IF YOU HAVE UNMET NEEDS, YOU’LL ATTRACT OTHERS IN THE SAME POSITION.

14. THRIVE ON THE DETAILS.
SUBTLETIES, DETAILS AND NUANCES ARE MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN THE OBVIOUS.

15. TOLERATE NOTHING.
WHEN YOU PUT UP WITH SOMETHING, IT COSTS YOU. COSTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND THUS UNATTRACTIVE.

16. SHOW OTHERS HOW TO PLEASE YOU.
DON’T MAKE THEM GUESS.

17. ENDORSE YOUR WORST WEAKNESSES.
WHEN YOU CAN ACCEPT AND HONOR THE WORST PART OF YOURSELF, YOU ARE MORE ACCEPTING OF OTHERS.

18. SENSITIZE YOURSELF.
THE MORE YOU FEEL, THE MORE YOU’LL NOTICE AND RESPOND TO THE MANY OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PRESENT.

19. PERFECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
THE ATTRACTION OS IS A SOPHISTICATED SYSTEM WHICH REQUIRES A FIRST-CLASS ENVIRONMENT.

20. DEVELOP MORE CHARACTER THAN YOU NEED.
INTEGRITY IS NOT ENOUGH TO BECOME IRRESISTIBLY ATTRACTIVE.

21. SEE HOW PERFECT THE PRESENT REALLY IS.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS CLEARLY NOT.
|
22. BECOME UNCONDITIONALLY CONSTRUCTIVE.
HIGH LEVELS OF RESPECT ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE.

23. ORIENT EXCLUSIVELY AROUND YOUR VALUES.
WHEN YOU SPEND YOUR DAYS DOING WHAT FULFILLS YOU, YOU ARE ATTRACTIVE.

24. SIMPLIFY EVERYTHING.
ABANDONING THE NON-ESSENTIALS LEAVES MORE ROOM FOR YOU TO ATTRACT.

25. MASTER YOUR CRAFT.
BEING THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO IS THE EASIEST WAY TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL.

26. RECOGNIZE AND TELL THE TRUTH.
THE TRUTH IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE THING OF ALL, BUT IT REQUIRES SKILLS AND AWARENESS.

27. HAVE A VISION.
WHEN YOU CAN SEE WHAT’S COMING, YOU DON’T NEED TO CREATE A FUTURE.

28. BE MORE HUMAN.
WHEN YOU ARE GENUINE, YOU ARE ATTRACTIVE.

I know Oprah talked about the Secret recently has always talked about having a gratitude journal. I suck at journaling. I could never stick to it. But I have found something simple to help me remember to be grateful. It’s called a gratitude rock.

In January I attended Marica Weider’s Dream Coach program and one of the things she gave us was our own gratitude rock. If you have watched the Secret, they talk about a gratitude rock.

Here’s the story.
A man in the US had a visitor from Africa, his son was very sick. He gave the man a special gift called a gratitude rock and told him to everyday hold onto the rock and think about all he has to be grateful for. And within a few weeks, an amazing thing happened. The man’s son got better!

Now this African man lived in a very poor village. And when he told of the miracles that happened because of his gratitude rock and by taking time to be grateful everyday, the whole village went to find their own gratitude rocks. They started a gratitude rock business and now the whole town is doing well financially. All of this change happened because of a positive change in focus. Instead of looking at their problems, they focused on what they had. And that alone started transforming their whole life.

I believe that we get more of what we focus on in life. I am living proof that the power of gratitude works. My husband lost his job a week ago and because we focused on our blessings and were positive, not only does he already have a new job, but it’s for more money than he was making before.

I don’t know what your beliefs are, whether you pray to Buddha, God, the Universe etc, but if you change your mindset to focus on being thankful for what you have, the Law of Attraction helps you attract more abundance in your life.

To me, it’s like when you give your kid a new toy and they are so grateful. If your child has that great attitude, appreciates the gift, and takes care of it, doesn’t it makes you want to give them more? Well, I see God (or the Universe) as equally abundant. When we are grateful for what we have, take care of it, use our resources wisely, we are given more.

Will you join me in 30 days of gratitude? I’m going be grateful every morning for 30 days. Let’s all do it together and see what kind of transformation comes in our lives.

Who’s with me? Also, if you have a story about the power of gratitude, prayer, or the power of positive thinking has changed your life, I’d love to hear it.

I wish you many, many blessings. I am truly thankful to all of you. You are a blessing to me.

Today in church they were talking about overcoming hardships. And it came just the right moment. My husband lost his job. And I am looking in the mirror wondering what I am made of. I need to double my income quickly. While it would be easy to nurse my worries, I am trying instead to focus on the positive.

I believe that entrepreneurship is a process of evolution to becoming self actualized (being your best self). For me, that journey started with discovering my purpose and creating business around putting that purpose into practice.

Success doesn’t always come easy. Most of the truly successful people I know have a Cinderella story of some sort. The other day I interviewed Matt Bacak and he said how he was bankrupt and was living in a single room apartment up to his eyeballs in debt. And then he decided to change things. The story ends that Matt now has a 3 million dollar internet business.

In my experience, I’ve certainly had my share of hard times. And here are some life lessons I have picked up along the way.
Hope you find it helpful.

1) Hardship happens. Your work at home business won’t always go smooth as gravy. It’s part of the journey to success. Accept it and don’t dwell in it.

2) Look upwards when times are down. You get more of what you focus on in life. If you keep focusing on what’s wrong, you’ll attract more of that in your life. Keep your chin up. Keep that vision of what DOES matter to you in your big bright future as motivation to keep you going. You need a really big reason “why” to help you get thru the tough times.

Remember the story of the Holocost survivor? He was in the worst place imaginable. But because he chose to look for the good, he was able mentally to survive his unbearable existance. Worry about nothing. Pray about everything. Choose to focus on the good. Rise above your circumstances.

Also, in the movie The Secret, they talk about how whatever you think about most is what you attract into your life. So if you think about your problems all day long, you are attracting more problems.

3) Look for ways to make lemons out of lemonade. Make the best of your situation. What can you learn from your mistake? How can you grow personally from the situation? How can you use what you learned to make things even better? And the ultimate gift, how can you turn your hardship into a mission or service to help others overcome that same challenge?

When have you had tough times in business? What have you learned from it? What good came in the end? Share your stories.

In a recent interview on The View from the Bay, Mike Dooley, one of the contributors to the movie The Secret, shares how our “Thoughts become things” in our lives. The movie The Secret shows how we can use the power of words and images to inspire life changes.

Here are Mike’s 5 guidelines for visualizing life changes:

1. Visualize no more than once a day.

2. Visualize no longer than 5-10 minutes.

3. Imagine every conceivable detail: sights, sounds, colors, textures, etc.

4. Put yourself inside the picture.

5. Dwell only upon the end result or beyond, not “HOW” you’re going to get there.

Did you know that one the biggest things holding you back could be your limiting beliefs?

What is a limiting belief you ask? Call them gremlins, negative thoughts, mindsets, excuses, things your parents told you were true, self talk, psychological blocks, obstacles — it’s all about the programming you have in your mind. These negative thoughts are self-destructive, cause stress, and keep you from having what you want. It causes us to dwell on the problem and we go into lock up mode. It stops our creative problem solving. It also keeps us stops the Law of Attraction from bringing you what we need to solve the problem.

Take a few minutes to ask yourself what beliefs you have that are holding you back in your life and business?
What are you telling yourself?
I’m not good at….
This is going to be hard to do…
I don’t deserve it…
I don’t know how…
No one cares…
I don’t have what it takes..
I’ll never be able to do it…
I’d be afraid to…
I can’t do it the right way…
It would take too much (time, money, energy etc)…

Now Ask Yourself This about Those Beliefs:
- Is this belief true?
- How does that thought make you react?
- Why do you hold onto this belief? What benefit do you gain?
- What is the cost of holding onto this belief?
- What could I achieve if I let go of this belief?

For every belief, there is a way to change your belief or design a strategy around it.
A powerful question to ask is “In what ways can I (fill in the blank)”

Hale Dwoskin in his book Sedona Method has a process he teaches for releasing limiting beliefs so you can experience emotional freedom and let go of anxiety and fear.

He invites you to get to a quiet space, really experience that belief in it’s fullness, then ask yourself these questions.
- Can you let this belief go?
- Will you let this belief go?
- When will you let this belief go?

Afterwards, you set this belief free in your mind. When I do this, I imagine tossing the belief up into the air, then it breaks up and turns into beautiful white butterflies. Find a “releasing” visualization that works for you.

Take some time to access what you believe and how you can reprogram your mind for success.

Have you ever noticed that you get more of what you focus on in life? That’s why I make a point everyday to spend a few moments counting my blessings. Every night I start my prayer , “Dear God, thank you for….” And I just go through my day, the people I connected with, and so on. I believe that until we are truly thankful for what we have, we will not be blessed with more.

On “The Secret” (yes, I am obsessed with that movie!) the one man had his gratitude rock that he kept in his pocket. He said he used it in the morning and at night as a reminder to say “thanks.”

Sometimes during the day I offer up little thank you prayers in the moment for the meal I am sharing, for the laughter, for the beauty of the afternoon sunshine in my face.

That’s why when I saw this post by Goal Guru Jill Koenig (a fellow Chicagoan) that I had to share it.

What rituals do you have around gratitude? Share your ways of saying “thanks” here.

If you haven’t had a chance to watch the movie The Secret yet, I urge you to do so. It’s a wonderful reminder of the power that lies within each of us if only we choose to believe and embrace that.

In The Secret, they give quotes from many of the greatest thinkers of all time who embraced the power of attraction in their lives. Call it the power of positive thinking or manifesting, it’s the same process with different names.

Here are those life changing inspirational quotes from the The Secret

“The secret is the answer to all that has been all this is and all that will be” - Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882

“You create your own universe as you go along” - Winston Churchill 1874-1965

“Take the first step in faith you don’t have to see the whole staircase just take the first step” - Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.” - Buddha

“Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about.” - John Demartini

“What power this is I cannot say. All that I know is that it exists.” - Alexander Graham Bell 1847-1922

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” - Albert Einstein 1879-1955

“What you resist persists.” - Carl Jung 1875-1961

“All power is from within and is therefore under our control” - Robert Collier 1885-1950

“Whether you think you can or can’t either way you are right.” - Henry Ford 1863-1947

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” - Joseph Campbell 1904-1987

Wishing you joy, peace, and bliss,
