The Law of Attraction is about more than just “thinking positive” or “focusing on what you want”. In order to get the full impact of the Law of Attraction, your emotional state or “vibrational tone” must be one of Joy, Appreciation, Love or Peace.
You can change your vibrational tone by focusing on thoughts, memories or stories that help you feel good. Perhaps watching this video will help.
If you want more, there is a great little video on Christopher Westra’s page at icreatereality.com While you’re there, I highly recommend that you sign up for his mailing list so you can get continual reminders and resources that will help you to create the life you want.

First there was a Flip Video camera, given to someone like me who loves gadgets, has an idea a minute and some time off for the holidays. Second there is the resulting video. In less than two minutes I will list seven things that Galvanize My Mind. When you galvanize your mind it becomes fun and easy to create new habits. Here’s my list for the past week:
1. Strolling the streets of Bluff Park with my iPod
2. Going to the farmer’s market
3. Snuggling with my cat
4. Working out on the bluff with Your Next Victory
5. Visualizing my ideal 2010 and beyond
6. Reading good Tweets
7. Watching Hello Ross on YouTube
This and more captured in my “not quite 2 minute” video. If you can’t see the video here, watch it on You Tube.
You’ll see me doing push-ups at the beach with a pink wig on and you’ll meet Fenix, my persian tabby cat. One of my favorite clips is “Boys on Bikes.” I was out strolling the sidewalks of Bluff Park in Long Beach with my Flip Video in hand and a group of about 10 young men on skateboards and bicycles rode by, it was pretty exciting. Some of us screamed in joy. Including me. It’s on video.
I have a ceramic sign outside my office that reads: “Worrying is like rocking in a chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere.”
There are many people who need a reminder like that – and I’m definitely one of them. As good as I am about laughing and letting go (and I get better every year, thanks to friends who remind me), my worst stress habit is worrying. It’s genetic; everyone in my family is a worrier. Sometimes I worry that I’m not living up to the family tradition if I’m not worrying about at least three things at time.
Thankfully, there’s a great statistic that has been very helpful in helping me worry less and enjoy life more.
60% of our worries never happen
20% have already happened
12% we have no control over
Imagine freeing up 92% of your time! As much as I may be predisposed to worrying, I’m also not a big fan of wasting time. Worrying about things that have already happened is definitely off my list. Things I have no control over, I can let those go too. Already I have 32% fewer worries. Now to work on the other 60%!
My yellow lab is a champ at creating habits. You know why? She pays really good attention and she has a great memory.
When she was a puppy, I used to give her a treat when she could yawn on command. Don’t ask me why, it’s just she was so cute and so smart it seemed like a fun game.
Well, I haven’t given her a treat for yawning for at least a year but still, she continues to do it.
When it comes to creating habits, humans aren’t much different than my yellow lab.
Sometimes a key event that happened in childhood triggers a response in the current day. This can happen even if you live in a new neighborhood, live with different people or work in a different state. You will feel and experience it as if it was 35 years ago.
Let me give you an example. Cindy got slapped across the face every time she was bold or brave or ‘out-of-control’. She was constantly told to “settle down.” On the other hand, she was praised, loved, adored and admired for taking care of other people. Which behaviors do you think Cindy will engage in as a result of this early training?
Chances are she will try to be ‘in control’, meek and shy and will only feel okay about herself when she is helping others. Cindy will do this even if it is self-destructive, because as a child she was paying close attention and the learning took place in a highly significant relationship. Also, since there was trauma associated with this experience, a part of her (even if it’s subconscious) never forgot.
Luckily, you can create new habits at anytime. Once you understand that the past can never be changed, you can use your energy to create a new tomorrow. That’s what my free MP3 download, Create The Life You Want is all about. It was a CD like this one that really helped me to begin turning my life around and I cherish it to this day.

Communication is a habit, a series of rituals reinforced over time that make you unique. This year, as I spent time in spiritual and personal development, I became able to communicate from a deeper level, from my own inner truth.
Through the process of journaling and self-reflection, I became aware of a part of myself that I have named Puleza. Puleza is the people-pleasing perfectionist with severe issues of unworthiness and I listened to her advice and guidance for many years. She made me believe that I wasn’t “good enough” to be heard. She silenced me.
But in the past two years and in this past year especially I have dedicated all my energy to reclaiming my voice. I have forced myself to break out of my creative box and to get clear on what I wanted to say. I dared to speak my truth in front of strangers and what happened is that I uncovered the “real me”, the Gal Vanized part of me that is confident in who she is and excited about sharing good things with people.
After listening to Puleza I got into some bad habits like:
*remaining silent
*not “making a scene”
*blending in
*staying to myself
*Trying to be a “good” wife
*Trying to be a “good” teacher
*Trying to please everyone
*Trying not to upset anyone
etc., etc.
Needless to say, this is not a joy-filled way to live life but habits are habits and once you get stuck on them, it’s pretty much a subconscious process.
I used my speeches at Toastmasters to “expose” Puleza and make it a habit to take risks. Each time I spoke I pushed my comfort zone out a little further. The members of my club saw that change and awarded me Toastmaster of the Year. This is a perfect outer validation of an inner-feeling that’s been growing inside me since the moment I decided I would do what it takes to master my Life.
I want to give profound thanks to my fellow Agape Toastmaster members who made it possible to grow and flourish as I have. Special thanks to Jesus Nebot, Cynthia Lamb and Joe Barth. Your leadership has made a powerful difference in my life. I also want to thank my husband Michael Zampelli for always providing me with room to grow and finally I want to thank Ty and the Savvy Soul Sisters, my partners in crime and my entourage for stepping onto the big stage.

Some of us have been clearing our plates habitually since childhood. Maybe we’re even doing it for altruistic reasons like saving starving children in Africa.
Problem is, it doesn’t work.
The children are still starving, the portions keep getting bigger and you are getting bigger too. In order to have a lifestyle of stress-free slimming, it is imperitive to eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re satisfied. This show will give you the support you need to stop dieting and start enjoying food and your body.
