I knew eventually I'd do it!

In order to keep attracting good into one's life, one has to think good thoughts and have good feelings the majority of the time.

But, when people around you aren't doing that and are rather negative and subconsciously sucking all of the energy out of you, what do you do?

Well, I've been dealing with that very "contrast**"

Following the words of Abraham-Hicks, "reach for a better feeling thought". Uh-huh.

Since I started living the law of attraction, while at work, that has been a HUGE contrast for me, listening to (or just being around) this particular person sucks the living energy right out and I feel really bad.
So, also according to Abraham-Hicks and other LOA teachers, my feeling bad is me allowing myself to feel bad by not allowing good feelings. Following me so far?

All last week, this person has been away on course so I wasn't exposed for 8 hours a day as I usually am, and I must have built up my "allowing" muscle, because today, when it started to get negative, I closed my eyes, gathered all the "appreciation" for this person I could and said internally "I really appreciate this persons attention to detail" and I listened to an upbeat and inspirational bit of music and TADAH! I allowed myself to feel good despite what was going on around me.

Now, I realize that this might sound like a tiny step, just ignore and tune out - right? wrong, I let this person be who they are and I let myself feel appreciation rather than annoyance - that is the HUGE shift I'm talking about.

Since I decided to live LOA rather than just "feel" it (there is a difference), I feel more and more in the abundance I am creating. After all, today is the manifestation of yesterday.
