LAW OF ATTRACTION HABITS: 5 HABITS THAT SUPERCHARGE YOUR MANIFESTING SKILLS
Chris Tomasso
Is This Book for You?
Youve probably been exposed to the law of attraction from, The Secret or the work of Abraham-Hicks. But, The Secret is inapplicable without building some habits first. Its also a gross oversimplification of the wrong lessons of the law of attraction. Abraham-Hicks, on the other hand, has a fantastic understanding of how to use the law of attraction, but their approach can seem a little woo-woo for some.
You dont have to have a basic understanding of the law of attraction to get something out of this book. If you dont know what it is at all, you might be confused by some of the terms. Yet, my approach is weaved into something more core to human experience than a current fad. So, you will gain value whether or not you try to manifest things.
Finally, this is for those with an open mind. You do have to be willing to do a little bit of inner work. The habits in this book are simple, repeatable, and subtly powerful. Theres nothing showy or impressive about them on the outside, but they can unlock your potential unlike any other self-help technique or life hack youve encountered.
What is My Approach to the Law of Attraction?
First and foremost, my approach to using the law of attraction is based on simplicity and functionality. These are universal laws, so its my intent to do justice to them by making them easy to understand and use.
Habits are of great interest to many people because of how powerful they grow over time. Thats because habits are the ultimate passive form of self-improvement. Sure you have to exert a little effort to get them started, but once you do, you dont really have to worry about consciously choosing to do them over and over again. This is already great, but when you add specific habits that improve your quality of life, the effect of habits starts compounding.
One of my main focuses in life is to approach everything with as much ease as possible. Its like the idea of working smart (not hard) multiplied. Some people call this laziness, but I just know that theres a better way. Take it from me, its a lot easier to move towards the things you want in your life habitually than it is to do it through willpower. More than that, when you try to force your way to things, you actually cause the universe to work against you. Youll find out how to turn this around in Habit #3: Ease.
Thats why, instead of vision boards and mantras, the habits in this book focus on fine-tuning your own emotional processes. I start small and build outward. In making these habits part of your life, you will feel subtle changes in how you experience and understand emotion at first and open yourself up to be able to have peak emotional experiences more often. What you really want is to learn how to feel amazing more of the time. This book will give you the tools to do just that.
Please read this book in order. Its not incredibly long, and the habits are set up in a logical sequence. With that disclaimer out of the way, lets move into the first habit.
Habit 1: Emotional Awareness
Emotional awareness is the skill of knowing how youre feeling. I know this sounds like an obvious thing, but in reality, most people arent consciously aware of how they feel at a given point in time. This is because you tend to only know how youre feeling when youre really feeling it. You can probably remember the last time you were really mad, sad, or feeling ecstatic.
People who experience these peak states are often called emotional. The implies that people who do the opposite arent emotional. This is a bit of misnomer, because were all emotional beings. More than that, the term, emotional implies that the person isnt in control of their emotions, which further implies that showing too much emotion is a bad thing. This can lead you to want to ignore or bury your emotions. This is the wrong path.
Instead, you can make peace with the emotions you feel. You can learn to recognize them without letting them control you. But, you have to acknowledge them first.
This skill will teach you how to recognize the subtler emotions you feel. You want to recognize them, because you ultimately want to be able to influence the flow of your emotions. Why?
If you wait until you really know youre feeling angry, sad, irritated, frustrated, or overwhelmed, its far too late to do anything about it in that moment.
Really.
Which is why emotional awareness is such an important skill to have. With emotional awareness, youll make every other habit in this book far easier to accomplish. Theres a reason why Abraham-Hicks always says to, focus on the feeling.
Why Does Emotional Awareness Matter?
The law of attraction responds to your vibration. Your vibration, for the sake of simplicity, is dictated by your emotion. You already know that your emotion can only be influenced sometimes. In one moment it can be like pushing against an angry river flowing the opposite direction. In others, it can be like coasting down a stream that turns into a cascade of joy.
People who misunderstand how to apply the law of attraction simply say, Think positive! Thats like saying, Just make more money! in response to impending bankruptcy. While its technically accurate, its not functionally accurate. Its not a useful thing to hear at the time. Honestly, do me a favor and dont listen to people who give advice like that.
Because your emotions flow in different habitual ways, you have an ocean of differing vibrations in your life. These differing vibrations cause waves in your reality. Influencing how you feel is a lot more like sailing than it is turning on a light switch. You dont choose to feel better and its done. You can get where you want to go, but its hardly a straight line. If it were, you wouldnt be reading this book.
Your tool to navigate all this is your current point of focus. Your current point of focus is based on what you are thinking right now, which you can alter and change. But, your point of focus is like a sailboat, not a teleporter. Getting where you want to go emotionally seems simple on paper, but the law of attraction is constantly responding to your vibrations. Most people arent deliberate with how they feel, so they tend to respond to whatever is happening around them. This is like trying to sail without controlling your boat whatsoever, hoping for the chaotic sea of vibrations to take you where you want to go.
So, when good things happen, they feel good. When bad things happen, they feel bad. People who havent practiced vibrational sensitivity are only conditionally happy . This means they can only feel in response to external conditions.
While your emotions influence what manifests in your life, the emotion you feel in a certain moment is actually an indicator of the vibration that youre currently practicing. This is a slightly more complex way of understanding your emotions relationship to your vibrations, but when you think of your emotion as an indicator, youll start to detect vibrations that you already practice by default.
So, to get where you want to go emotionally, you have to learn how to navigate the current vibrational patterns of your life. In sailing, you have to be able to read the wind and the waves while using your current focus to keep yourself moving in the right direction towards your destination. To do this with your emotions, it requires vibrational sensitivity.
Why You Have to Learn Vibrational Sensitivity Before Anything Else
Vibrational sensitivity, just like learning how to drink wine, is about detecting subtle things that are going on. In this case, you want to detect your subtle emotional states.
The following habits in this book are about deliberately practicing an emotional state that leads to a desired vibration. How will you know if youve succeeded in practicing those feeling states without knowing how you feel right now? How will you know if youve shifted how you feel if you dont know where you started?
