The law of attraction states like attracts like. This means your predominate thoughts will show up as people and experiences in your life.

Realize that, at your core, you are a creative being. You have the power to expand your knowledge and experiences on this planet simply because you are unique. Why not direct your creative power toward achieving the things you want in life?

When it comes to manifesting the relationships you desire, start by noticing what it is that makes you feel great when you are around other people. Take note of which people make you feel energized. Notice who makes you feel joyful and loved. Begin to look for ways that you can be that kind of person yourself.

Next, begin experiencing and visualizing what it would be like to have these types of people at your side. That's right, daydream! Within your visualization, create the feeling you will experience when the person you desire is right there with you.

Accept that it will take some time for the people you want in your life to find their way to you. Don't get discouraged. Don't give up. Allow the Law of Attraction to work for you. Trust that it is working for you. Go out and do things that make you feel good while keeping your eyes open. You will be thrilled with the opportunities that show up when you do.

Whether it is connecting with a romantic partner, creating closer relationships with family members, developing deeper friendships or even finding a teacher or mentor, you have the power to surround yourself with people who will most benefit your life. Not only can you attract anyone you desire, but you also have the ability to shape and mold those relationships into whatever you would like them to be.

In order for good things to happen to you, such as getting the love life you want, you must first feel good about yourself. It's time to let go of what's not working in your life. Eliminate what's bringing you down; stop putting up with the things you're tolerating in your life. Whatever doesn't feel good needs to be remedied. Creating a vacuum in your life allows the Law of Attraction to fill it with something better.

When it comes to relationships, I will no longer tolerate:

What kind of people do you want in your life? What qualities (such as being kind, creative, spiritual, open-minded, etc.) must these people possess?

Anyone I allow to be a part of my life must be

Visualize the kind of experiences you'd like to have with the people you want to attract. What do you want to share with each of these people? How do you want to feel while in their presence? As an example, when you think about being with a romantic partner, how would you like to spend an afternoon? Or let's say you want to attract a work out partner. How would the two of you work together and support each other to achieve your fitness goals?

When I see myself with this person, I envision the two of us

Like attracts like is at the core of the Law of Attraction. For you to create a strong vibrational alignment with the relationship you desire, you must love those in your life the way you want to be loved. Love unconditionally and openly without reservation - love in the way you want to be loved. Offer your love to someone else. It's a very powerful way to create alignment, and it feels good too!

How do you currently express your love for other people?

I express my love by:

When you think of what is missing in your life (things like support, acceptance, compassion, understanding) can you think of ways you could bring those same things into the lives of others?
