Book of Positive Aspects - Abraham Hicks

This exercise will assist you in finding a more deliberate,

constant > place of positive attraction:

Purchase a new notebook. Write across the front of your book, in

bold letters: " Book of Positive Aspects " . The primary objective of

your Book of Positive Aspects is to quickly bring you to a position of

feeling good, therefore to a position of positive attraction, but

there are many other benefits: A daily entering of positive

aspects on old and new subjects will help you to maintain your

positive balance. As one area of your life draws you to your Book of

Positive Aspects, the recording of your entries will bleed over into

other aspects of your experience. Because you are feeling better more

of the time, more of the things that you consider to be good will

begin to flow smoothly into your experience. Many of the things that

you have been wanting - but have been blocking by offering thoughts

that attract resistance in the form of negative emotion - will easily

flow into your experience. The balance of thought and feeling in your

experience will shift from predominantly negative to predominantly

positive. You will soon discover that no matter what the emotional

state of your world, your economy, or even those close around you

in your work or home, you will find yourself in a more positive

balance, and by law, indeed by the Law of Attraction, your own life

will begin to show the result of that, immediately.

This " Book of Positive Aspects " is not offered as a process

whereby you take a negative and turn it into a positive. It is a

process to assist you in giving your attention to that which is

positive. And as you are focusing upon that which is positive, you

cannot focus upon that which is negative. And when you withdraw your

attention from that which is negative - it will leave your experience.

Upon each page, begin a new subject. Write what flows easily from

you. Do not work at it. When you work at it, you may find yourself

trying to stretch something you actually feel negative about into

a positive, and in giving it attention, even giving it positive

words - you further your negative attention. When the thoughts

regarding a particular subject have stopped flowing, turn to a fresh

new page and begin a new subject. 15 minutes at the beginning of each

day is enough time for this process.

On the second day, read what you have written before, and add as

the thoughts come to you. Notice how good you feel during and

following this process. If you find yourself feeling negative emotion

regarding a specific person in your experience, begin a page of

positive aspects regarding that person.

If you find yourself feeling negative emotion regarding any

subject, such as not enough money, not enough time, too much work to

do, not enough respect from another ... begin a page in your book to

help yourself to identify the positive aspects of that particular

situation.

You will notice, right away, that your overall feeling is

improved. Not only will the specific situations, upon which you have

written, improve immediately, but, also, other experiences not yet

identified in your book, because AS YOU FEEL BETTER YOU ATTRACT MORE

OF THAT WHICH YOU CONSIDER TO BE GOOD. AS YOU FEEL BAD, YOU ATTRACT

MORE OF THAT WHICH YOU CONSIDER TO BE BAD.

Continue for a full week, each day reading what has been written

before and adding to that. At the end of the first week, put your

book aside and purchase another.

Again, write across the front of your book: " My book of Positive

Aspects " . You may now begin to see this book as the treasure it

really is, for it is the key to your centered, balanced place of

Well- being. It is the key to your deliberate positioning of yourself

in a place of positive attraction. While your world is predominantly

focused upon the negative, with many more critics than those who

praise - you have found a process to control the way you feel.

While almost everyone you know makes decisions to act from their

concern of what will happen if they don't act - you are being inspired

to positive, joyful activity.

The motivation to act is inspired from two primary sources: From a

clear, exhilarated vision of what is wanted, or from a clear,

uncomfortable vision of what is not wanted. As we view your

physical world, we see that the majority of action is inspired from

the negative perspective of what is not wanted. Most are moved to act,

not because of their blissful, excited positive objective, but

because they believe that if they do not act, there will be

negative consequences. In other words, they do not go happily,

enthusiastically to their work because of their clear vision of

the value of this work. They are not joyfully inspired to action

because of their clear picture of their desire. Most work because

they believe that if they do not work, they will not have money, and

if they do not have money, they will be without things they want.

When you are focused upon the negative consequence of what will

happen if you do not act, and so you act to circumvent the

negative consequence, YOU DO NOT CIRCUMVENT THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE

BUT ADD POWER UNTO IT. IT IS LAW.

You cannot have a happy ending to an unhappy journey. And you can

not have a happy journey when your motivation has been inspired from

your attention to a negative consequence.

The key point, here, is this: ACTION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT A TINY

FRACTION OF YOUR CREATIVE EFFORT. The way you feel is primarily

responsible for what you are getting and what you are creating

and, indeed, what you are living.

So many find themselves in a state of futility because they just

cannot act enough to make the difference. They try, they struggle,

they persevere, but things do not improve. And the reason things

do not improve is because the very basis of their creative attraction

Is not coming from their action, it is coming from the way they feel

as they act.
