A lesson in the law of attraction – Use the energy of regret to attract what you want

A few weeks ago I was regretting it. When I took a look at my thoughts I discovered that they were all focused on the past. I was regretting the words I hadn’t said, the actions I hadn’t taken, and the choices I had missed. So I got out my pen and paper and wrote a letter to my Higher Self asking for guidance.

The guidance I received turned my feelings of regret into a powerful enthusiastic energy, which is why I wanted to share this recent story with you. This is what my Higher Self said:

“Regret is a sign that you are looking at your world with limiting thoughts instead of abundant ones. You think that missed opportunities will never come again. You forget that life keeps giving you more than you really want. It’s a little more complicated to trust. in this when your big dreams are not manifesting the way you would like.

Practice on smaller things and see how you can turn your regret into positive energy that works for you, not against you. Once you know how to take charge of your own feelings to attract little things, you will also know how to attract your bigger desires.”

At that moment I had an Aha! moment. This is what I realized and what happened next.

Just before I moved into my new home, I bought a couple of metal folding chairs for my new kitchen. They had a Victorian rose print on them and I loved them. But when I moved it seemed like they weren’t quite right, so I got them back. A few weeks later I still didn’t have any chairs in my kitchen and in hindsight I regretted returning them.

Now Kona, where I live, is a small town. Many things only appear once in the few special stores we have. But here’s something I knew for sure. There would be other chairs to choose from. A lot of. They may not be exactly the same as the ones I’ve bought before, but I knew I’d find another set.

Suddenly I started to get excited and instead of looking back I started to imagine what could be ahead. I started to wonder. What do I really want? By the way, asking this question is a great way to keep your creative energy focused in a positive direction.

I surfed the internet looking at pictures of folding chairs. That’s when I got really excited. I saw something even better than I wanted even more than I had before. I wanted a small tile top table to match my chairs. Now the picture I saw was of a bistro set with a blue tiled ceiling. I thought it would be perfect in another color. So I printed the image and planned to put it up on a new vision board sometime this week.

Of one thing I am sure: my feelings of regret were gone. Now I felt inspired, excited and excited.

Two days later, while driving around town, I had an urge to go to the store where my original chairs had come from. There, laid out on the floor just hours before, was the first and only tile-roofed bistro set I’d ever seen in that store. It was pink and green, the perfect color for my new home and when I saw it I knew it was exactly what I had ordered.

Even more exciting was the realization that by consciously taking charge of my own thoughts and feelings, I had turned my feelings of regret into positive energy that attracted into my world exactly what I wanted. I was very pleased to see that the Law of Attraction is at work.

Feelings make a difference in the speed with which our desires manifest. When we have doubts, fears, ambivalent feelings or regrets, it is good to take some time to turn them around before going shopping. Feeling good attracts more good. It really is as simple, and as detailed, as that.

With practice we can learn to apply the same Universal Principles to attract more than chairs. We can call upon us love affairs, large amounts of money, and anything else we really want.
