If someone asked me to summarise the Law of Attraction in a phrase, I would say:

"listen to and be guided by your emotions"

Because within them lies the essential truth - if we relinquish the judgement, the labelling and guilt about our emotions and look through for what they are telling us.

Most of reading this live in cultures where our emotions are often derided and our rational, logical, "problem solving skills" are applauded (I often wonder whether having problem solving ability leads you to create more problems in order to exercise that ability! Just a thought.......:.)

But our feelings about a given situation is the most reliable indicator and a fantastic boon when it comes to decision making.

The only difficulty is that we don't trust it. Or we strangle it at birth.

Haven't you noticed that the more reasons you create for following a course of action, the more "logical" reason you give is usually an indication that it's not the right path. When something is right for you then you usually just "know" it; reasons become redundant.

You know when things look "good on paper", but don't mesh in your reality.

In tennis, the centre of the racket is called the Sweet Spot. It is the area of the string bed that produces the best combination of feel and power. It is the perfect connection where the ball is hit most cleanly, most effectively; it resonates more deeply and just feels right. It is the area of the racket that tennis players aim for.

Hitting the ball outside the sweet spot often leads to mishits and mistakes and you can really feel the dissonant vibrations when you mishit a ball. You can often hear the jarring sound it makes. And there's a nice parallel when situations jar with us too.

Whenever I'm unsure of whether to follow a course of action, I ask myself: "Does it hit my sweet spot?". Invariably the answer is no, because asking the question itself reveals the answer. As such it is a useful internal barometer and shortcut.

Yet how many of us actually ask ourselves this kind of question?

Keep asking the question, heed your answer and keep following your sweet spot and watch the quality of your life soar!
