A "Don't Want" Feed the attention

I don't want to have a cold, I don't want to meet any bad luck, I don't want to work with him, I don't want to see birds.

When we make plans or when we say about 'want', we usually use 'NOT' for emphasizing. This works a lot For emphasizing. The more we use 'NOT', the more we pay attention on that 'NOT'. Look at the children, when we advise or scold with "Don't do this, Don't do that." They will not easily stop doing those things, because the activity emphasized itself has been reminded.

A "Don't Want" Feeds the Attention. The Universe always gives us what we want, even when we 'don't want' it. The Mind Doesn't Compute "Don't Want"
When I don't want something I have to become aware of it. I have to know what it is and be conscious of it so I can steer my attention away from it as fast as possible.

Unfortunately, most of us don't do this. For example, if I said, "don't think of the color blue," what happens? We thought of the color blue. Why did we think of the color blue even though I told not to? We thought of the color blue so that we could distinguish those colors that are not blue.

Distinguishing a 'don't want' can be a little tricky. It's very subtle. I need to pay attention to my thoughts. Most people aren't aware they place their attention on the very things they don't want.
How to Stop Attracting the "Don't Want"
A simple way to stop attracting "don't wants" is to recognize what we're currently attracting into our life. Are we attracting: - People we don't trust? - An unhealthy body? - More debt?

By recognizing the people, circumstances and conditions I am attracting, I am hot on the trail of a "don't want." Once I realize that I created it I can then refocus my attention on what I DO want. This is easier said than done, but I will not say that's difficult.


I want to be healthy, I want to have all good luck, I want to work this guy, I want to see bears.
