Few things can affect your overall quality of life as powerfully as your attitude can. Your attitude affects your career, your relationships, your hobbies, and even your financial status. Most people discover that when they improve their attitude, everything else in their lives seems to improve also.
A daily practice of gratitude is one simple way to give yourself a painless attitude adjustment because it reduces your temptation to focus on more “negative” mind-sets. When you feel grateful it is nearly impossible to feel frustrated, sad, empty, or disconnected. A negative focus and a gratitude focus cannot co-exist! They are opposites and will repel each other.
Gratitude is one emotion that works hand in hand with the law of attraction, especially where money is concerned. Where financial lack is present, there is a blockage of energy – some form of resistance is preventing the natural flow of abundance into the person’s life.
This can be difficult to understand by traditional lines of thought. Perhaps you are used to thinking of money as a tangible object that you have to obtain, like most people do. However, with the law of attraction, there is nothing to obtain, but rather ALLOW.
“Allowing,” as it relates to the law of attraction, means being in a state of non-resistance. In other words, not blocking the flow of abundance or goodness into your life. Unfortunately, a focus on lack or struggle automatically creates blockages!

Practice Appreciation. You’ve heard it all your life – Count your Blessings. Appreciate what you already have and watch it multiply before your eyes. What is this phenomenon? Why does this happen? Well, it has to do with the fact that you’re a broadcasting station sending out a signal that is answered in kind. As you practice directing the high frequency Energy of Appreciation, by the law of attraction, even more fantastic people and things will appear in your life. As appreciation becomes your dominant vibration, you’ll spend less time in the lower states, feeling bad, feeling sad, and settling for less than you desire.
“If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have, you’ll find yourself having more to appreciate.”
The word appreciate has several meanings. One is to be thankful or show gratitude. Another is to raise or increase in value-such as how a good investment appreciates with time. I think that by appreciating-practicing gratefulness-the things we have and want in our lives also increase.
In our hectic, fast-paced lives, it’s easy to forget about the many things for which we have to be grateful. We tend to be goal-seeking, achievement-oriented people.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
However, it’s vitally important that we not lose sight of the things that are near and dear-things we all too easily take for granted.
What we focus on expands. If we focus on the problems in our lives, they tend to increase. If we focus on the good things we already have, they too, have a tendency to grow.
If you’ve been working with the law of attraction for any length of time, you’re probably well versed in the importance of thinking and feeling positively as often as possible. However, you may not already be aware of the ways in which certain emotions can supercharge the power of your efforts!
Remember that the law of attraction is activated by your thoughts, emotions and beliefs. Emotion in particular is what provides the “fuel” for your desires.
If you’ve been experiencing lackluster results from your attraction efforts, give them a boost with the use of these 3 powerful emotions:
I got an email today from a man who’s subscribed to my Prosperity Tips & Affirmations Ezine, and he was frustrated because it seems like everyone is charging money for their books and products. He’s going through some rough times financially, so he feels a bit disillusioned about the law of attraction and so many products costing money.
This brings up some great points about money and energy exchanges related to abundance and prosperity, so I’m copying my response to him below:
