Understanding The Law of Attraction For Nurses

www.CoachPerg.com

Never heard of or don’t believe in The Law of Attraction? If you haven’t yet heard about it, or have but haven’t taken the time to explore it, this article may enlighten you. If you have heard of it but don’t buy into it, don’t worry, I’m not here to convince you but rather to offer what might be a moderate view of the concept (if there can be such a thing). While it’s all theory and many take it to what some would say is the extreme, and others claim the whole notion to be total rubbish, there are many reasons we might consider it at least in part, for our benefit, as well as for the benefit of those around us. So, stick with me for a while if you will, take what serves you and leave the rest.

Is there a force that controls the Universe… or is this all just random?

I certainly believe that something is in control and that ‘something’ obviously has great intelligence and power. That there most certainly is a force that controls the Universe (that includes our lives). This force goes by many names depending on who you are; God, Creator, Higher Power, Jesus, The Great Spirit, The Source just to name a few. I believe this force is pure energy and that through our energy we are connected to this force. If I haven’t lost you yet, please read on and trust me, you won’t have to come out of this article a total convert in order to benefit.

The Law of Attraction (LOA) boils down to the energy of positive thinking and the need for one to aspire to a higher self in order to obtain their desired outcomes.Could anything but good come from that? Or do we really believe that good can come from being negative and having a sour attitude? I suppose one could die happy, knowing that their miserable life is at last over. But according to those I’ve visited with as well as many I’ve read about, often those sad souls express their realization that there was a much better path they could have taken and their deep regret for not taking it.The LOA is based on the theory that “like attracts like” and that positive and negative thinking bring about positive and negative results. That we are what we think about.Consider how this may effect nurses when you combine this theory with the multitude of negative experiences that many of us encounter on a daily basis. It is suspected that many nurses surely suffer from a form of PTSD, just as many soldiers returning from battle do, as the result of the experiences many of us have in certain fields of practice. Add to that the stress many nurses experience from long hours, under-staffing, doctors and administrators with personality disorders… well, you get the idea.So, with that in mind, how might this relate to the LOA?

Could it be any wonder that nurses are second only to doctors in drug abuse? How many of your peers do you know of that are being treated with SSRI’s for depression? How many that share this fact with you fail to also mention the other less socially acceptable drugs they are also being treated with? How many more might there be that hide the fact that they have a diagnosis? Maybe some of you reading this are being treated for depression yourself? I know that at one time I was.

This has been a growing problem in our society in general. How much more can it be so for nurses? Is life just becoming harder? Or, could it be that we are affected by the LOA?

Could it be that our unawareness of our everyday thoughts and actions may be making us sick?

If so, then just as learning about a disease and it’s cause is essential to learning how to treat it (or better yet, prevent it), if we learn about how the LOA works, then might we be able to alter how it affects us and prevent it from affecting us in the future?

Wouldn’t that be life changing?

I hope you’ll come back next week when we’ll explore how we might use this knowledge to help ourselves and those around us, both at the bedside and at home.

Until then remember… YOU ROCK!
