Using Law of Attraction to Get in Shape

One of the areas where people utilize law of attraction techniques is with their own self image. Usually the person is unhappy with his or her image in some way - out of shape, overweight, cellulite, unhealthly eating habits, aging etc. There is a law of attraction solution to a perceived problem with self-image.

Notice the use of the word "perceived." Law of attraction does not care about your looks. To law of attraction, your body is merely packaging for your energy. Law of attraction does not require you to be a size 4 with big fake gazungas to make it work for you :-) Law of attraction transcends the physical form.

That Being Said
, however, your body needs to be nutured and cared for in order for you to raise your own emotions. A healthy body will elevate your emotions. Elevating your emotions to a more joyous place will strengthen the positive vibration you are emitting. You will resonate louder and thus attract like energy more strongly. And, of course, we do live in a material society and it's ok to want to wear a pretty dress or get an awesome hair cut.

So, how do you use law of attraction to get you in shape?

The first thing is to do STOP FOCUSING ON YOUR FLAWS! In law of attraction, we know that your thoughts are energy and energy attracts like energy. Thus, negative thoughts lend to negative energy which means more negative energy coming at you! Instead, you need to invert those negative thoughts to positive ones.

For example, if your negative thought is "my thighs are fat", change that to "I want to look hot in my skinny jeans." If your negative thought is "I'm out of shape", change that to "I want to be able to run 30 minutes straight." If your negative thought is "I have cellulite," change that too "I want be toned."

Even stronger, don't say "I want", say "I have or I am." When you use the word "want" that suggests something in the future, there is some uncertainty still attached to the desire. The better technique is to say yourself and visualize "I look hot in my skinny jeans", "I eat more healthy", "I run 30 minutes", etc. These affirmations will lend you towards the actions needed to get you to your desires.

So, stop staring at yourself disgracefully in the mirror. When you find yourself staring at a perceived flaw, shift your focus and fixate on a body part you are happy with. Then, take it to the next level and affirm your desire ("I eat more vegetables", "I work out regularly", "I love my body"). This will help.

One last point on getting in shape. We know that a happier emotion will make you resonate at a higher vibration. A key way to get a happier emotion is to do an activity you love. So if your goal is to be more active, or do more cardio, pick an activity you enjoy so that your emotional level will be more elevated. Don't force yourself into step aerobics if you know you don't like it. Do whatever it is that makes you happy.
