The Secret

60,000 thoughts a day? Seriously?? 
Wow..more than what I can actually think of..!! 
(Well, another thought added now)

Let me give you some context here: 

Researches say that we have about 60,000 thoughts a day. And the only secret you can take from the book 'The Secret' is Law of Attraction (LoA).

Wondering what's the relation between thoughts and LoA? I'll tell you what it is in 3 simple points here.

1. LoA is a process whose input is your thoughts.

2. It processes your thoughts and attracts similar kind of things.

3. And then LoA reflects those similar things back to you.

In short, Law of Attraction gives you what you think about !!

For example, If you are complaining, the Law of Attraction brings you more situations to complain about. 

So, to avoid that, the LoA says control your thoughts and automatically you'll be able to control your life. But, imagine how exhausted you'd feel to control all those 60,000 thoughts !!

And it's impossible to monitor each and every thought. So, now comes feelings. The Secret says thoughts, feelings, emotions, all are inter-related and if you can control one, you can deal with the remaining.

But the question is, can you control any of them even if you try? 

Before reading this book, my answer would be a big NO. Because, according to me, all my thoughts are based on my circumstances, my surroundings and my current life. Agree? Everyone's thought process would be almost in a similar way right ! Your thoughts align with your current life situations !!

But, The Secret says, its the other way around. Your thoughts are the triggering events. Everything you think and everything you feel is creating your future. If your thoughts are conscious, you'll have the power to control your feelings, your circumstances, your love life, your health, wealth, energy, everything under the universe. So, here I'm, leaving few ideas from the book to control your thought process:

• Meditation. This is one of the best ways and can be incredibly powerful if practiced for at least 3-10 minutes a day.
• Make a Secret Shifters List : These should be the things/moments that can change your feelings in a snap. (It would be defying the law if you are feeling good but have bad thoughts)
• Think in advance. Every event. Every day. Thinking in advance helps you to be clear in mind, what you actually want. Then believe in it as you already achieved what you want. At the end of the day, before going to sleep, go back through the events of your day. Identify those which did not happen in your favor and replay them like how you wanted.
• Be Grateful. Gratitude is another powerful process to shift your energy to what you have and change your feelings.
• Make feeling Good as your main priority. Visualize. As you picture yourself seeing things that you wanted, you are actually generating feelings of having it now.
• LoL. Yes. Laugh out Loud. Laughter attracts joy, releases negativity and leads to miraculous cure for anything.
• Last but not the least..Be Aware of your thoughts. When you are aware, you are in the present and you know what you are thinking.

But another question here. How to be aware??

• Well, Stop and Ask yourself 'What am I thinking now?', 'What am I feeling now?'. The moment you ask - you are aware. You have brought your mind back to the present moment.

"Remember to remember and become Aware." 

If you understood The Secret from what I wrote, then well and good. Else, read the book to get into the details and some examples on how LoA worked for few people.

If you still did not understand The Secret even after reading the book, Then start using it. The more you use it, the more you'll understand.

Till then....Happy Reading :) 

P.S : I have mentioned few lines 'as it is' from the book. Because sometimes you cannot generate the same beautiful effect if you try rephrasing it !!

P.P.S : It is really difficult to follow all the mentioned ideas. Try one by one and stick to the one which you are happy with.

Let me know which one worked for you and how. 

Also let me know if you think LoA is complete trash and why.
