How Thinking The
Thoughts You Think
Can Change Your
Life.
Is there a way to work wonders in your life? Yes.
Is it difficult to learn? No. Let’s start to learn how to live the life of your dreams. One of the most valuable possessions you have is your mind, and it belongs only to you,
and it is for you to command in every which way that you wish
your life to be. It’s pure Magic- a Genie in a bottle. All you have to
learn is how to ask correctly and
it will bring into your life all the
wonders that you have dreamed
of. It’s not hard work, you don’t need to take a classroom course, you don’t need money and you don’t need the sweat of concentrated positive thinking. You just
need to Believe That You Are Worth the changes
you want to see in your life and all the good in this
lifetime is your birthright and you Will have it.
Sounds impossible? Sounds untrue? Maybe now,
because you are a beginner to this truth, but if you
think for a moment, if you give it a try, what can
you lose? You would, on the contrary, be in
possession of a healthy Self Esteem and have a
better opinion of yourself that will act as a source
of constant motivation for you to do better
anyway. All religions tell us to appeal to our higher selves
while addressing this business of Living. In other
words, to look inwards. Introspect. So why are we
constantly looking for advice and validation from others, from society, from our peers? If only we
learned to trust that little voice that echoes life’s truths to us, we would be in perfect harmony with the Higher Power, with the universe and with
1 society. In this way there would be no opposition
in our lives at all, and when there is no opposition
all roads must necessarily lead to successful
living. This is called The LAW of
ATTRACTION. In the first of our series to share the Law of
Attraction and how it works for you, we start at
the very beginning. How Thinking The Thoughts
You Think affect your Life. A belief is nothing but
a Thought you keep thinking. By pure repetition
of the thought you cause a belief to be formed,
which your subconscious mind accepts and
thereafter, proceeds to make all things come
together in a way that you achieve what you desire. The subconscious mind does
not have a morality nor judgement of its own, it simply accepts what you believe to be true and act towards the fulfillment of it.
The first thing you need to realize is
that you have a choice to think
either good or bad. The Law of
Attraction is a Law that states that
what you think about constantly
will manifest in your life. So it
makes perfect sense to think that
good things happen to you all the
time and there could be no possible advantage in thinking ill for yourself. Though this
sounds very much like positive thinking, it goes a
little beyond, in the sense that you must believe
that you have already received that which you
desire. Desire is another emotion that needs to be
understood fully in order to make it work. Desire
is much more than wanting and needing. It is the
thing imagined that floats into your mind
unbidden. It is a thought that fills you with
expectation and brings a smile to your lips, very
much as a lover would do when remembered, and
just as effortlessly constant is the memory of a lover so must be the memory of that which is desired till its manifestation.

Understanding Vibration
Why we chant OM
VERYTHING in the universe has
its own vibration. Each cell,
atom, molecule, object - the
entire universe has its own vibration. This is the reason we chant
“OM”. OM is the creation of the universe. However, while this mantra has undertaken a
distinctly Shiva’iite connotation in today’s world, it has a thousand meanings. The
resonance of the chant ‘OM’ purifies the soul and the universe, constantly. Such is the power of this chant. When you are lost in the chanting of ‘OM’, you are becoming one with Source and
are connecting with ALL who
are chanting, who have chanted
the same, and you are on a perfect frequency to receive all the answers, solutions and remedies to Life’s problems.
The frequency of your thoughts plays the
same part in this exchange. If you offer the
right vibration, you create a synchronicity
with the vibration of the universe and then
automatically ATTRACT the responding
effect into your life. Think of it like this -
you can tune a radio to a STATION of your
choice and listen to anything you like. You
cannot see the different frequencies of
various radio stations since they are
invisible, however, you can tune in to your
desired station, depending on how well you
refine your search. You can reduce the
unnecessary static which acts as a
distraction.
2
For e.g., if you offer GRATITUDE for
even the simple things you already have,
the universe will respond equally by
blessing you with more of the same.
However, if you offer the vibrations of
Unhappiness and Lack of Money, Health
or general discontent, then you will
ATTRACT more of such negativities into
your life. After all, a vibration is just a vibration, and does not judge or morally correct your thinking. It does not have a mind of it’s own, it only and only, accepts the thoughts YOU choose to think to bring their
fruition into your life.
Belief
A thought repeated to
yourself constantly becomes
a Belief. Think about your
beliefs and you will find that
in early childhood you
were taught
many of the tenets you
NOW live by. This is applicable in each aspect of life. For example, even for the language you are familiar with, you firmly believe that you are correctly using the nuances, simply because the alphabet you use was taught to you by pure repetition. A belief or faith in the thing that is desired brings the particular thing into reality, by guiding you down the roads to its fulfillment. If you desire something to happen for you, you must follow a 3 step plan, namely - Ask, Believe and Receive.

SELF - TALK
Law Of Attraction
very person talks to
themselves. It is the
inner voice that
argues, analyses,
makes excuses, makes you
happy or makes you sad.
There is a subtle running
commentary that is going on at
the back of your mind, and the
more you listen in on it , the
stronger the emotion it is
dictating becomes, and as a
result, your vibration of that
emotion or feeling is
sent out into the
universe, and the
universe promptly
obliges by giving
you more of the
same emotion or
feeling. So, it then follows
that you be aware of
the inner voice or as
we call it, Self-Talk. You can actually talk yourself Up
or talk your self Down,
However, If you practice saying positive things to
yourself, you immediately feel
good, more self confident and
in control of almost any
situation. When you Feel like
this, you attract the cooperative
components that allow all of
these positive feelings to
change into actual things in
order to compliment your life.
Adversely, if you tell yourself
you are not worth it, that you
are going to fail at the
endeavour, it is a certainty that you will. You can develop a better system
of SELF-TALK, by listening to what
you say to yourself each day. As
with the choice you have with
your thoughts, similarly you
have a choice with words, and
ideas that you say to yourself.
The moment you become aware
of feeling badly about yourself,
you will also notice the
difference in the way you are
talking to yourself. Firstly, you
should evaluate whether what
you are telling yourself is true
or are you imagining it to be so?
Remember, it is not the thing
or event that makes you sad or
happy, but your THOUGHTS
about it that effect you so.
Make sure that your thoughts
are positive and not negative,
that they are helping you and
not hindering you from
reaching your goals, or simply
concentrate on just making
your day a great one. An easy way to do this is to
talk to yourself in the mirror in
the bathroom. Here you have
the privacy to look yourself in
the eye and really speak to
yourself. Tell yourself that you
are winner, that the day is
going to be a success, that you
are achieving everything that
you put your mind to and that
you are brimming with
confidence. This practice will
allow you to chase your
dreams to fulfillment. It is clear that we all, without
exception, have an internal
representation of our own self
esteem, be it anything. We all
have an image of ourselves or
how we would like to be – the
successful business, the fancy
car, the drop dead looks, the
perfect life partner and so on
and on. The magic secret is
that IF you repeat with belief
that you can have,
and be, whatever
you desire often
enough, the
universe will
respond
accordingly to your
wishes. This is
called the Law of
Attraction, and it
works!
Think Big ,
talk Big to yourself, and
believe it is happening for you, do an internal remodeling of
your thoughts and discover
that all paths leading towards
attaining your desires become
achievable. Self-talk yourself to SUCCESS!`

TIME
MANAGEMENT
ime
anagement involves the Past and the
Present in order to predict the
Future. Actions of the past that
are stored in your memory
give you the required
approximation about How to
do something and the estimate
of the time required
to complete the task and so
forth. The Present gives you actual
circumstances to work within
your limitations and your
opportunities. An idea that did
not work for you yesterday,
may suddenly be very easy to
execute today because times
have changed. When you
combine the two, it provides
you with an ability to PLAN
the Future to your advantage. Time Management is all about PLANNING. Time
management makes you more
productive in every way,
because you proceed to do
things in an orderly fashion.
When you make this a habit,
you will get much more done
in a comparatively lesser
amount of time, and
will have enthusiasm to do the things
that you enjoy doing. It is a
great tool to use to eliminate
stress and chaos. When you
are stressed, you tend to be
irritable, muddled and do not
know which way to head. A little Planning goes a long way in making your personality both at work place and at home shine. One of the greatest tools to be
used for effective Time
Management is making To Do
Lists. It is imperative that you
jot down every little action or
errand on a list. If you follow an
order according to priority, you
will soon be very efficient. Given below are some headings which will help you to make such a list. 1.Time frame from waking in the morning to leaving for the work place. 2.Time frame for homemakers
from waking in the morning
to seeing family go to
office/school etc. 3.Most important tasks to be
done on reaching the work
place. These include attending
to your daily correspondence,
looking over a file for that
afternoon meeting, bringing
up a point with the Boss etc. 4.Planning the menu for the
day, giving instructions to
the maid, tidying the
house/garden. 5.Learning to prioritize tasks according to – a.) Importance. Note I do not
use the word Urgent, because
if you plan most things and go
4 according to your plan, there
will be no urgency nor waste
of time, e.g., pay your
electricity bill as soon as you
can instead of waiting for
the due date. The line to pay
is shorter and your time is
not wasted. b.) Self presence or
Delegation. When you read a
particularly long list of To Do,
check and see if you can
delegate some tasks to
another. A parent Teacher
meeting needs you as a parent
to be present, but cashing a
cheque or paying a bill can be
delegated to someone else. c.) Shared resources. Plan
your day effectively according
to the resources shared by you
with others, e.g. car,
photocopy machine, maid or
even the bathroom at home. Remember, to be known as a
calm and efficient person has
great rewards both in the work
place and at home. It makes
for a very pleasant day when
you can smile without the
pressure. There is a lot of good that TIME MANAGEMENT
does for you if practiced daily,
so make your list and follow
it.

Manners Etiquette Utensils The utensils that you will be using should be on the table. In the case of a very formal dinner, some of the flatware may be added or replaced with each course. Forks are placed on the left with the napkin and bread and butter plate. Knives and spoons are on the right with the glasses. Utensils are used from the outside in. Never place used silverware back on the table. Do not leave spoons in a cup; place on a saucer. If a piece of silverware falls on the floor, simply scoot it under the table. Ask the server or the host to bring you another one. Never wave your fork or knife around or use as props. Napkins There are signals for removing the napkin from the table. One way is after the host does so. If there is no host at the table, wait until everyone at the table has been seated to place your napkin on your lap. In fine restaurants, the server will
usually take the napkin from the table
and place it in your lap for you. Place the napkin folded in half (with the crease closest to your waist) in your lap. For ladies, if you are concerned about your lipstick coming off on your napkin, blot it with a tissue before you come to the table. Lipstick on napkins or glasses is most unattractive. If you need to excuse yourself from the table, do so between courses. Simply excuse yourself and leave your napkin on the seat of your chair to indicate to the server that you will be returning. Never ball up a napkin. When the meal is over, the host will place the folded napkin on the table. If there is no host, wait until everyone has finished and then put your napkin to the left of your place setting. The most appropriate time to do this is as everyone is rising from the table. Avoid placing napkins on clean or dirty plates. Place the folded (dirty) napkin to the left of your place setting when the meal is complete. If you must blow your nose, please excuse yourself from the table; do not use the napkin—it is not a handkerchief. Service Food is served from the left. Food and beverage is Refilled, Removed and Replenished from the right. You do not need to thank the server for each course they bring out.
5 It is appropriate to move and interact with servers in order to make serving easier.
Food & Beverage Selection It is best to order foods that can be eaten with a fork and knife. Finger foods can be messy. Avoid ordering foods you are not familiar with. If you have allergies or food restrictions, it is acceptable to ask how the food is prepared and to make a special request in advance. If you are attending a large function where the meal is pre-ordered, inquire about the menu or tell the person issuing the invitation that you have special needs. In a pre-ordered meal, alcoholic beverages may be have already been ordered and you may not order separately.
Eating
Wait for the host/hostess to pick up their fork before you start to eat. If there is a custom to say a prayer
before eating, you will not be embarrassed.
If there is not a host/hostess, wait until everyone has been served before you begin. At large tables that seat 8 or 10,
the wait staff may have difficulty serving everyone at the same time. It is considerate of those
who are waiting for their food to encourage the other to start while their food is warm. If you are seated at a round table of 6-10, wait until all have been served before you begin eating. If you are seated at a long banquet table, begin eating when at least 3 people on either side of you have been served. If you are served foods that you cannot eat, eat what you can on the plate and leave the rest. Same goes for foods you do not care for. Never share foods or eat off someone else’s plate. Remember that business meals are not about the food — they are about business first. Pace your eating. Pay attention to how fast or slow the other diners are eating so you do not finish way ahead of them or lag behind. Never ask for a doggy bag.
Do not smoke at the table. Do not speak with food in your mouth.
Never chew with your mouth open. Do not make loud noises when you eat.
