How Does The Law of Attraction Make Your Life Miserable?

After “The Secret” was produced everyone thought that the Law of Attraction was just wonderful. There are two points, firstly this law is not a recent revelation and secondly what if it was in fact making your current life miserable? How could you be using it to make your life much less than it could be?

Has the media and Rhonda Bryne been lying about the Law of Attraction? No they haven’t, but it depends on how you are using the law that counts.

Consider the following scenario:

Tom wakes up at 6.30 in the morning and rolls out of bed in a bad mood because he is tired and has to go to work. He drags himself into the shower, has some breakfast and heads off to work. He leaves early and misses seeing his children. His car ride, is bumper to bumper traffic before he arrives at work. He performs his job with no real satisfaction and infact does not like being there at all. His day finishes at 5.30 and again he must contend with bumper to bumper traffic before he arrives home. He finally opens his front door, the children are running around and the house is a mess. Unfortunately, his reaction is then one of anger instead of the happiness at being home.

Surely, Tom is not responsible for these feelings? The truth of the matter is that, yes, Tom is solely responsible for how he is feeling and what he is attracting to himself. Have you ever felt like this in any area of your life? If so, what can you do about it? All of this ca change if you start using the Law of Attraction properly.

The Law of Attraction reacts to your vibrations that you emit to the universe. If you are feeling contentment, happiness and joy then the vibrations that go out into the universe will attract the same feelings to you. Where Tom is going wrong is that he is emitting vibrations into the universe that attract negative feelings back to him.

Here are some strategies that will allow you to increase your level of vibration out into the universe so that the Law of Attraction is actually working for you instead of against you.

Listen to half an hour of relaxation music to start of your day so that your mindset is relaxed before your day begins.

As you hop out of bed repeat to yourself ‘Thank you’ and continue for the first five minutes of your morning. It allows you to start the day in a spirit of gratitude for being alive, healthy and with a wonderful standard of living.

Take out a piece of paper and carefully list ten things that are going to happen today that you are grateful for.

On the same piece of paper carefully list ten things that you want to achieve today (no matter how big or small) and rejoyce as you achieve each one.

When you are in the car and the traffic is bumper to bumper make the time count. Listen to motivational music, listen to telesminars, speakers of any kind that can offer you information that will improve your life.

When at your job make the effort to perform to the best of your ability. It is this realisation that you are doing a good job that will allow you to increase your level of vibration and attract more of the things that you want into your life.

If doing your job makes you feel really unhappy then close your eyes and imagine yourself in a situation that fills you with happiness. Maintain these feelings while you are working and your level of vibration will rise.

Before you walk in the door of your house of a night consider what would be a real tradegy in anyone’s life and then think of the things that you have been irratated at previously. Do a comparison and I know for me this really adds a sense of perspective.

Waiting inside the door of your house is a family that thinks you are the most important thing in their lives. Focus on these feelings because they will lift your level of vibration even higher.

This is just one scenario, but these strategies will work for any situation that you find yourself in.

Law of Attraction Action Step
The life that you lead will often come down to the perspective that you place on the events of your life. Always look for a positive perspective regardless of the situation so that you are always maintaining a high level of vibration.

Employee Motivation - Does it improve performance, productivity, keep them motivated and loyal?

Employee motivation is not always the easiest of tasks, but it does pay off for you, your customers and the employee.

Recognition is ranked the number one motivating factor when it comes to employee motivation in the workplace. If you want to maintain motivated employees, and encourage others to do better, recognizing them publicly may save yourself the time and money of having to find and re-train new staff.

One of the best techniques to build and maintain employee motivation is to make it a practice to have an event or period end staff meeting, followed by a employee, & maybe spouse dinner, staff recognition awards and a closing party. This will build and maintain employee motivation though ongoing sincere recognition and deserving reward.

You may find it hard to believe, but recognition is the most powerful employee motivator of all. Research has shown that there is a stronger need in society today for recognition than there is for sex and money. Now, that says something about employee motivation.

Let's think about it.

We could provide employee motivation through a bonus in the form of money at the end of a period. Sure they'll be happy and thankful. They may even perform better, but what are their expectations at the end of the next period? Right; more money. External employee motivation is temporary - it is never lasting.

Money is an external employee motivator and it is never lasting. It's an incentive that once acquired, leads to expectations for more, bigger or better. But if you have a bad period will they care? They'll want a bonus at least equal to what they got last year, but preferably more, not less.

A survey of thousands of workers around the world compared rankings by supervisors and employees on employee motivating factors. The typical supervisory group ranked the factors in the following order:

1. High wages 2. Job security 3. Promotion in the organization 4. Good working conditions 5. Interesting work 6. Personal loyalty of supervisor 7. Tactful discipline 8. Full appreciation of work done 9. Help on personal problems 10. Feeling of being in on things

However, when employees were given the same exercise and asked what affects their morale and employee motivation the most, their answers followed this pattern;

1. Full appreciation of work done 2. Feeling of being in on things 3. Help on personal problems 4. Job security 5. High wages 6. Interesting work 7. Promotion in the organization 8. Personal Loyalty of supervisor 9. Good working conditions 10. Tactful discipline

Note that the top three employee motivating factors marked by the employees are the last three felt to be important for them by their supervisors.

Do you think it would be any different in your business?

So it is fair to say that money, over and above wages, is not a main motivating factor, but full appreciation of work done is. This is recognition: the number one employee motivating factor in building and maintaining a motivated employee.

Why is it so important?

When someone gives you a compliment or recognizes you for doing something, how do you feel? Imagine, for a moment, being complimented by all your family, friends, staff and customers all day, every day.

What would it do to your self-esteem your self confidence and your self respect? Without it going to your head, how do you think you would perform? Would you be outstanding or what? Is this not the basis of employee motivation?

Employee motivation through recognition is positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement of actions gets those actions repeated. Recognition and praise reinforces our beliefs about ourselves and helps make us think we are better than we thought we were. That is what employee motivation is all about.

Employee motivation is positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcements is what builds our self-esteem. Our self-esteem is the way we see and feel about ourselves either internally, through our own beliefs, or externally through what we accept as the beliefs of others.

If we feel good about ourselves and we believe others feel good about us, we perform better than we would when we see the opposite side of the coin. Employee motivation starts from within.

People perform in a manner that is consistent with how they see themselves conceptually. So, the key is to help people build their self-esteem. That is the foundation of employee motivation.
