Of all the things that people want to attract with the law of attraction, money is certainly one of the top Big 3 - being, of course, health, wealth and happiness, (which is usually "love").
Having studied Abraham Hicks and "The Secret" for the last couple of years, and ancient Eastern mysticism and metaphysics for decades before that, I feel somewhat qualified to give you my top tips for doing this.
I'm not a millionaire but I do spend most of my life doing what I love - a large part of which is writing and teaching people how to live their dreams. For most dreams, this requires attracting money. Otherwise the "need" to earn it on the traditional treadmill of selling your life by the hour, (otherwise known as a "job"), becomes a necessity that can keep you and your dreams apart.
Let's start with a "don't". I avoid these in my teaching as a rule because I believe it makes you do it more - as for example, if I tell you not to think of elephants right now, your head will inevitably fill with thoughts of elephants! However, where the law of attraction is concerned, and especially when it comes to attracting money, this one is paramount and I can't think of a better way to phrase.
Don't expect money.
It's that simple. That doesn't mean money isn't coming, but you're not attracting money by expecting money. You're keeping you and money apart. Why? Because you're still focussed on not having money!
There's an aging adage that goes, "Do what you love and the money will follow." Well, it might, but not if you're doing what you love for the money!
That leads me to top attracting money tip #1:
Attracting Money Tip 1: Love what you do.
That, you will notice, is the other way around from "do what you love." This doesn't mean that if you hate cleaning out the closets you've got to start loving it. It means loving yourself first. Come from a happy, joyful energy and you will find time flying by and that you are enjoying yourself no matter what you are doing!
This is relatively easy to achieve. If you hate cleaning closets and it's a chore you have to do, you will make pictures in your mind of all that you loathe about it, and you will resist with all your might.
Instead, listen to comedy or sing at the top of your voice to your favourite artistes - do whatever it takes to feel good as you do the task. These days, with Bluetooth and hands-free phones, you could possibly even talk to your best friend while you do the task!
Okay, next.
Attracting Money Tip #2. Find an alternative to worry!
I've written a whole book about this, but here's the principle in a nutshell. Worry, (about anything), is the most useless problem solving strategy anyone ever came up with. If you have a worrying thought, (that is to say an uncomfortable prickling in your brain about something), that's fine as long as you take it as a nudge to turn things around!
It is not a signal that you should dwell on the issue for ever more! Doing so is certain to make the law of attraction work exactly to bring you precisely what you are focussing on: not enough money!
Instead, treat it as a sign that you are about to get resourceful and find a way to attract money.
Which brings me to top tip number 3.
Attracting Money Tip #3: Remember you are your greatest resource!
Money is not your resource - you are! Money comes to you because you do something that other people value. Attracting money happens because other people value you. They value your skills, your reliability, your talent, your personality and your uniqueness. That is you!
Frankly, you can always find a way to render yourself of value - and the more you love whatever it is, the more valuable you will be, because you will make other people feel good. Did you know there are people who get paid handsomely to clean out other people's closets because they do it with style and with good humour and they make it fun?
