    A passage from the book "The Secret" stated that the most important thing to do to benefit from the Law of Attraction is to be in a joyful emotional state.


    The problem is I'm having a tough time deliberately putting myself into a positive emotional state. What can a person whose mind is always very negative, do to consistently put themselves in a happy emotional state? Its tough for me because I've been depressed for a long time and my perspective on life is very negative. Or what do you do to make yourself happy when your down?

    I've tried affirmations, and thinking good thoughts.

    I'm aware of that there's are a lot of people who don't believe in the Law of Attraction. My intention is not to sound disrespectful, but if you don't believe that this law works, just keep your belief to yourself.

    I honestly everyday find 5 things I am thankful for. Sometimes they would seem insignificant to someone else probably, but it is my list. :)

    When I am gloomy I make myself smile and keep smiling, hard to stay gloomy if you are smiling. It seems to do the trick! :)

    I do believe in what we project we get back in energy........so, smile! :)

    I know this is an old thread but just for future reference if anyone reads this:

    There are alot of ways to raise your vinration, and i highly recommend reading "Ask and It Is Given" by Abraham-Hicks, but my personal favorite given that I used to be a pretty negative and cynical person is the "Wouldn't it be nice if..." excercise.

    Its great because whenever you see something negative it allows you to focus on what you'd like and also it circumvents your cynicism.

    "Wouldn't it be nice if...I finally got a job."

    Your natural cynicism may say, "Well the job market sucks and you don't have a good education..."

    You just have to say to yourself "Yeah, but wouldn't it be IF I got a job?

    Yeah it would be nice, and as you allow yourself to day dream and focus on things that would be nice if they happened your vibration goes up and you get in a better mood.

    If you feel yourself focusing on the lack and thinking "It won't happen." You just have to remind yourself to think 'But wouldn't it be nice if it did?"

    Peace.

    I've always heard that love always finds us when we are not expecting it. Then pair that with the idea of being in a happy emotional state. I think that if you focus on you and take care of yourself then you will be surrounded by positive energy. It's like when we are focusing our energies on finding somebody and not being alone.....it seems like its so unattainable and we end up being more negative than positive.

    If you are depressed, get counseling and work through the unhappiness. Take up some hobbies. Try to focus on the positive aspects of your life or create some more positive aspects be hanging out with friends, for example. I think there is somebody out there for everybody but we have to love ourselves and appreciate ourselves before we can be anything to anybody else. It's hard to think all this if you feel alone....but you have to take care of your basic emotional needs first.

    i battled depression and being stuck in a perpetual rut of negativity, so i know where you're coming from. I started making a list of everything daily that I was grateful for. Also comparing yourself to those less fortunate helps a lot....I figured out that its really hard to be unhappy when I am well fed and have a roof over my head....there are so many people in this world that don't have those things and it seems really spoiled and selfish to find reasons to be unhappy when at least I have my daily needs.

    if you make yourself smile it actually makes you happier.

    this one time all of the ink ran out of every single pen i had. so i had to use a stupid pencil. then my classmate founda pen on the floor and asked if was mine. i said no, but i want it. and then i had a pen again. that's the law of attraction. lol.

    hello FledglingThinker73,

    i dont mean to be rude and question your beliefs but it seems that understanding this law of attraction might be helpful for many people including myself.

    would you mind explaining how being in a joyful emotional state would affect anything or anyone around you?

    Yes, it's amazing what can happen with the law of attraction.

    I read a cool article the other day about it too, that described it pretty well:

    "All things in the universe are made up of energy. Every living thing, every non-living thing, every manmade thing, every human being each consists of energy. This energy is always moving and flowing. The energy that you want to attract from the universe is positive energy.

    No matter what you want you can ask the universe to deliver it. Some way it will be delivered to you. The first step in the process is to understand the Law of Attraction. Most people create a good deal of negative energy. Unfortunately this only serves to bring you more of the same."
