We all have negative emotions. They are part of the ying-yang of life. It’s when they begin to take over that we find we are not attracting what we wish into our lives.

We all have negative emotions. They are part of the ying-yang of life. It’s when they begin to take over that we find we are not attracting what we wish into our lives. The Law of Attraction works best when negative emotions are not in play, so what can we do to mitigate them or change them to a positive emotion.

Here are a few hints:


1. Change the thought:
Yes, just like that. Acknowledge, for example, that you are feeling angry and then change the thought to something more positive. Within any bad situation there is a good aspect, remember the ying-yang? Look for the good, and discard the rest. This takes practise and you may be shaky at first when doing it, but the often you do the easier it becomes.

2. Exercise your body:
If you can get up and move. If you are in a position to do so do some more strenuous exercise. It will clear your mind, and the endorphins will make you feel good. It’s harder to hold onto negative emotions when you are feeling good.

3. Relax yourself:
Unclench your teeth and consciously relax your body. If you are in a position to do so, or at least at the end of the day, meditate. Yoga is also a good way to relax because it combines both body movement and relaxation techniques.

4. Do something for somebody else and don’t expect anything in return:
there are numerous studies that indicate by doing unconditionally we do get a reward. The endorphins that are released during exercise are similar to those that are released when we act in charity.

5. Feel Gratitude:
At the end of the day get out a pen and paper, and write a list of five things you are grateful for. It can be as simple as the flower in the vase on your desk. You’ll be surprised how much better this simple act can make you feel.

Negative emotions can take over our lives and destroy the balance of our emotions if we are not careful. By changing the emotion, whether it be by changing the thought, exercising your body, relaxing yourself, being charitable, or feeling gratitude, you will feel better. As a side-benefit you will begin to see the Law of Attraction working more fully in your life.
