Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth: The View from a Therapist's Office


I have believed in the Law of Attraction for over 30 years as it has been around as a concept before Rhonda Byrne so neatly packaged it in her books etc. I have used visualisation and affirmations and gratitude for years. It has paid off for me.

I have a wonderful new husband (sexy and handsome and kind), and we have just moved in to a delightful little cottage with fantastic views.

I spent years watching TV property programmes and dreaming of the kind of home I wanted. Now it has become my reality - and it was not because I won the lottery.

The way I believe it works is that what you think about you create by the actions that your thoughts drive. When you attach your feelings to your desires it motivates you to make the life choices that develop your lifestyle - whatever it is that you want. I don't think it is as simple as positive thinking - what I do believe is that if you have negative thoughts your life will not improve.

For me there have been years of actively trying to stimulate my mind with positive thoughts and small actions towards a better life. One of those small steps came when listening to a radio programme (40 yrs ago!) It was an interview and the person explained the concept of seeing your glass half full or half empty. I had always assumed that half empty was the way everyone saw the world and once I knew I could change how I saw my life I grabbed every opportunity to make change. You can too!
