My 11 year old daughter likes to fill me in on the ‘girl’ drama at school. There always seems to be someone who is saying mean things or ignoring someone, or dictating what others can do. For example one girl found this awesome free website that helps you learn how to draw super cool pictures. She claimed the website as ‘her own’, as in no one can draw those pictures except her. Of course no one listened (as they shouldn’t after all it is a free website for all to use), many children in the school are now happily drawing these pictures. The girl was not happy and started getting mad at other girls, I am sure you can imagine. I tell Aspen not to get sucked into these dramas, just ignore it and go on being the kind hearted, sharing person she is. But she is a worrier and has a ‘fix it’ personality, which causes her to stress over this drama.

The truth is we can all get sucked into the drama that surrounds us, now obviously I am not a man so I can’t really say this with certainty, but men don’t seem to get sucked into drama like us women do, do they? What is it with women and drama?

I have to wonder if we draw drama towards ourselves? Is it true that when we speak the universe listens? Is there really a Law of Attraction? What we send out, our words, our mood, the vibes we create, do they go out and there and then bounce back at us off the atmosphere?  

What if we have the power to attract negativity? Then doesn’t that mean we have the power to attract positivity too? How often do you hear people complaining about there life, the shitty stuff that keeps happening to them? How come the happy people seem to keep being happy, and the sad people keep having bad things happen? Are we actually causing this ourselves?

Of course I believe we don’t attract all bad things that happen to us, that is not what I am saying. Sometimes really terrible things happen that would knock even the happiest person off their happy perch. What I am saying is the more positive we approach life or a particular situation the more positive we will feel about it. The young girl I spoke of at the beginning of this post is upset that others are using this website, but the truth is she has brought that about by her own actions. She had a choice to happily share the website and enjoy drawing with all her friends, but she chose to create drama by trying to keep it all to herself. She could choose to be flattered that the other girls liked her drawings so much that they wanted to join in, but instead she chose a negative option, which in turn has brought her more heartache.

When my son started school this year I had a choice too. I could choose to be upset and sit around missing him, or I could choose to use my new found free time for positive new things in my life. When my best friend up and moved away I could have sat around feeling lonely or I could set about creating new and wonderful friendships with people that would bring new adventure into my life, and enjoy holidaying with my bestie.

We get knocked down in life, but these moments give us opportunities to learn and grow and attract new positive people and adventures into our lives. If I sit around and moan that it is too cold to get out and about in Winter I would have missed out on a great weekend away with my family last weekend. We are like magnets, our attitudes are like magnets. When we think negatively we attract negativity into our lives. If we mope around complaining then we keep searching for things to complain about. But if we walk round with a positive attitude we attract positivity. If we smile at people they smile back, if we are friendly and receptive to them they will be so back to us.

So I challenge you today to think positively, to approach people with a happy manner, smile at them, be friendly. If someone is bitching about something don’t join in. Don’t grump because your coffee took to long to come, or because your kids got out of school 5 minutes late, or the traffic is bad. Don’t get sucked into a bitchy conversation about a friend or co worker and don’t complain about the weather. Just for today be a positive person and see what the universe delivers. Then try it again tomorrow. Heck why not be positive and try it all week!

Click to Tweet! Challenge yourself this week to have a positive attitude no matter what comes your way. Smile! 

This week take control of your life, take responsibility for what you bring into the relationship you have with yourself and with others. What if the Law of Attraction really exists, wouldn’t it be worth being on its good side?

Thanks for joining me, love Mackenzie xx
