Are you riding an emotional roller coaster as you go through your day? Do you wake up in a pretty good mood and find yourself sliding into a negative one created by external events or the people around you?

What is happening here is that you are turning control of how you feel over to something or someone else. Learning to deliberately use the Law of Attraction will return control of your emotions and focus back to you. That's where it belongs anyway.

If you are not keeping your focus protected and broadcasting the vibrations you want the Universe to receive, your abundance will never find you. The Law of Attraction is activated by your thoughts and feelings and will return more of what you are sending out. Think about that for a while.

We are all emotional beings and easily influenced by the day-to-day experiences we all have. If you are not used to controlling your own thoughts and emotions, you keep slipping back into old habits and tossing your focus into the trash.

All is not lost, however.

Here are two simple but powerful techniques to return control to you:

#1  “I make a choice to feel . . .” 

Whenever you feel yourself getting derailed by events or other people, you can get back on track with these affirmations:

•             “I make a choice to feel awed by the beauty around me.”

•             “I make a choice to feel upbeat and know my good will find me.”

•             “I make a choice to feel peace in the face of turmoil.”

•             “I make a choice to feel joyful when those around me are not.”

#2  “I make a choice to believe . . .” 

All of us can slide into negative thinking, even without realizing it. When you find yourself dealing with problems and seem to be swimming in black water, so to speak, take control back by using some or all of these statements:

•             “I make a choice to believe that my destiny is to have great success.”

•             “I make a choice to believe that whatever I desire I can achieve.”

•             “I make a choice to believe that all things will work for my higher good.”

•             “I make a choice to believe that I am in control of my feelings and my mind.”

Removing the negative focus and expectations and replacing them with totally positive affirmations will put you back in control of your own vibrations.

Affirmations are essentially mental and not emotional. Once you start affirming a positive emotion, you need to practice actually feeling it. Think about anything that makes you feel happy, calm or inspired.

Once you get both your thoughts and feelings vibrating on the same frequency, you will be in full control of your own focus. That's a good place to be.
