Lesson 4: The Momentum of Thought

Understanding The Law of Attraction in terms of becoming the energy, also helps you to understand the mechanics of attraction in terms of the momentum of thought. It’s important to understand that every thought has momentum, even the briefest, most fleeting thought there is.

When you hold onto a thought for any length of time, it begins to attract related thoughts — it begins to build momentum. This means that whenever you hold onto the energy of a thought, it will very quickly influence your mood. If you do this over time, it influences your beliefs, your actions, and everything that’s around you.

Thus, in order to understand and apply The Law of Attraction, it’s essential for you to gain control over the direction and momentum of your thoughts. I think the easiest way to see this is to think about any time you’ve been in a neutral or positive mood, and for whatever reason saw or heard something that triggered a negative thought.

Even though that thought was fleeting, and even though you were in a good mood, you might’ve found that your mind returned to the same doubt or negative thought. If you allow it to continue to do that; if you allow it to continue to rest in that doubt or fear, it can very quickly take over your vibration (and your mood), and it can turn what might’ve been a good day into a bad day…very quickly.

It’s essential that you learn to catch the direction and the momentum of negative thoughts early, before they begin to spin out of control. That’s exactly what many of the exercises we’re working with are designed to do.

Becoming Aware of Momentum

Working with The Law of Attraction, then, isn’t just about envisioning big-picture aims that you hold for your life and drawing your attention to them. It’s also about becoming acutely aware of how thought works in your day to day environment.

You want to train yourself to become aware of how every single thought impacts your vibration. Train yourself to become aware of the direction and the momentum of each thought.

That might sound like a lot of work, but you can develop it as a habit, so it becomes second nature. You can develop it to the point where you don’t really “think” about what you’re doing, it just becomes part of your way of being.

When you can start to realize that every single negative thought impacts you negatively, then you can catch those thoughts sooner, and redirect them into a positive spiral and a positive vibration.

This is what I mean when I talk about following your highest joy. It means following that train of thought that feels a little bit better, and a little bit better, and a little bit better. That’s all there is to it.
