Super Attractor

Do you find yourself tired, unmotivated, or worried about the future? According to spiritual leader Gabrielle Bernstein, that’s normal. Even the most successful people around us, from celebrities to life coaches, sometimes feel the same way. But this condition is only temporary, and the key to changing it is making sure your energy is aligned with the Universe.

So how do you realign with the Universe if you’ve gotten off-course? The first step is to recognize the power of your own mind. Clinical psychologist Helen Schucman’s classic metaphysical text A Course in Miracles states that there are no such things as “idle thoughts.” And it’s true. Each thought we have emits energy to the Universe, and the Universe always returns that energy in kind. If you consistently engage in negative, fear-based thinking, you’ll find those same vibes in everything around you.   

For example, when Bernstein launched her previous book, Judgement Detox, she found herself full of gloomy ruminations. Overwhelmed by work, she kept thinking, “If I don’t do it, no one else will.” This negative thought eventually became true. She ended up taking on more and more tasks and seeking less and less support. The cycle was only broken when Bernstein changed her thought patterns, making them positive. 

Changing your energy to become better-aligned isn’t hard. Just by beginning to read this guide, you’re already sending a powerful message to the Universe that you’re ready for change. To continue this process, you must make positive thoughts a habit. To do this, Bernstein recommends following a three-step method called Choose Again.

First, notice the feelings behind your thoughts. Ask yourself, “How do I feel right now?” Are you worried? Scared? Stressed? Reflect on these emotions and take note of what kind of energy you’re giving to the Universe. 

Next, forgive your thoughts. Negative thinking gives off bad energy, but it also reveals what you don’t want. For instance, if you find yourself worrying about money, it suggests that financial problems may be your most pressing concern. That tells you what to address first. Thank your thoughts for providing this valuable service.

Finally, choose again. Ask the Universe to guide you toward more joyful thoughts. Returning to the previous example, don’t just ruminate on your money woes. Instead, open your thinking to positive, creative solutions to your financial problems.

Following this method is a simple way to realign your energy with the Universe. Remember, being a Super Attractor is not about ignoring your problems, but about attracting new solutions. In the next blink, we’ll learn even more ways to overcome negative thinking and make feeling good a priority.
