It’s always hard to stop a habit or addiction, without giving yourself something to replace it with.

Have it trigger an Abraham quote:

“Today, no matter where I am going, no matter what I am doing, no matter who I am doing it with - it is my dominant intention to see that which I am wanting to see.”

Just do this instead of switch the band.

You are onto something really hot here! It’s very exciting. I’m going to get a few of those bracelets, one for me and a few as gifts.

I’d like to share something that worked for me in terms of using law of attraction.

Wearing my hat as The Juicy Woman, I teach women who are emotional eaters how to reclaim their power over food, eat what they love and lose weight without dieting. One of the things that I do in my teleclassses is I teach the law of attraction.

Similar to what you have suggested to do with the bracelet, I have another idea for you to consider.

You know those tally counters that you can get in Staples or office supply stores? They count up and tally how many times you do something specific.

Just like you said, when you flood the brain with what you do want, the rest of the stuff clogging up the works just overflows and disappears.

I like to repeat to myself everyday an affirmation that guarantees that I will be in a place and space of gratitude, making constant preparations for accepting more grace and abundance in my life.

This is what I like to say and spread into the universe:

I go forth to meet my good

It’s simple and direct and puts me in a place to be always looking for the good in every situation, no matter how glum it may appear. Because I’ve programmed myself to seek out the good in life, I can easily separate out what is considered by many as “the bad”

Ok. I’ll bet you’re wondering what the deal is with the tally counter, right?

You know how you can sit on the phone and wait on hold as you listen to music or announcements that are distracting. Here’s what I do in that situation. I take my tally counter and start repeating my affirmation “I go forth to meet my good.” I say that repeatedly and with each repetition, I click one repetition off my tally counter, I keep on doing this until my party returns to the phone. Instead of being all steamed up because I’ve been listening to distracting announcements or irritating music, I have paved the way for peace in my heart, since I am expecting something wonderful to occur on the line, it usually does. This practice keeps me busy and on task with what I really want as opposed to getting upset and distracted and thinking about things that I don’t want.

If you or anyone else is having a challenge with those monkey mind thoughts that we all get, I’d like to suggest choosing and writing a simple statement that is positive in every way. Once you do that, then say it aloud or to yourself 1000 times a day. If you have the tally counter, then each time you repeat the statement, you press the lever on the counter. Here’s the thing about this that truly rocks, when you do this simple thing, just as with your idea to remember 5 things to be grateful for, you are reprogramming your brain to think differently. Your subconscious mind is soaking it all in, holding this all in you beneath the surface. As you progress along in your day, you will notice that you are automatically becoming more attuned and attracted to what you wrote down as your statement. That’s when major shifts will occur.

I’m so inspired by your idea, that I think I’ll blog on this also. Thank you, my fellow belle friend, I appreciate you and your wonderful energy and wisdom in sharing this with all of us other appreciation and love magnets.

Hugs and gratitude,

Andrea
