Creating and internalizing a positive mindset for your emotional guidance system while using the Law of Attraction.
Jerry and Esther Hicks, the original articulators of the Law of Attraction, dubbed the term “emotional guidance system” or EGS to describe one’s ability to navigate between positive and negative emotions and manifestations. When you intend to manifest certain results, you must feel the feelings of already having it. Positive feelings keep you on track, and negative ones deviate you from your course.
It’s simple, and yet how often do we sabotage ourselves by putting ourselves into silent angers and depressions? As with any discipline, we do occasionally fall off. One way we can avoid falling too far is to program ourselves with continual reminders of our dreams and desires, such that when we deviate from our emotional course, we can remember ourselves and get back on track. It’s like a GPS for one’s emotional guidance system: your ship strays a few degrees off course, and the system catches and corrects it, every time.
Put up inspirational quotes relevant to you around your home or office space. Listen to the same motivational tapes or watch the same CDs over and over again. Do at least one thing each day whose only purpose is to make you feel extraordinarily happy, energized, and alive. No matter what you do, the key is repetition. You’ll want to impress upon your subconscious as much as possible, since this is where most of your automatic behaviors and reactions originate. Once you have done this, you’ll find that you cannot get depressed or angry at the situations that used to depress and anger you.
For instance, suppose you are forced to work a difficult job to pay the bills, and yet you have a manifestation goal of attaining wealth in a career that you enjoy. As you go through the difficult period of scarcity and hard work, you may start berating yourself: “I don’t want to be here”, “I’m a loser”, “I’m broke”, “I’ll never get out of this”. With your emotional GPS online, you’ll start remembering yourself before you sink too far: “I’m depressing myself needlessly”, “This is temporary”, “I’m strong, I can get myself out” and “I’m on track with my dreams”. Your course corrects itself.
One particularly effective way to create a GPS for your emotions is to involve someone who shares your journey. Your spouse, your parents, your siblings or best friends all can help you, so long as they share your vision and boost your energy. They will remember your wisdom, be there to pick you up when you fall, and remind you again of who you really are. Eventually, even they won’t be necessary, as once you’ve reprogrammed your subconscious and activated your own emotional GPS, you’ll seldom stray off course again. Good luck!
