Book Review- The Secret

Author: Rhonda Byrne
Print Copy | Kindle
 
The past two months had been crazy for me. I had been trying out various ways to reduce the stress. Then I decided that the best way is to start dealing with my thoughts. I am aware of the power of sending messages to sub-conscious mind. I use that power to wake up in the morning. I want to make use of the same power to bring positivity into my life and get rid of stress forever.
The affirmations I was doing were not helping me in any way. My angel friend asked me to read ‘The Secret’ to learn about the right way to do affirmations.
I started off the book with high hopes that it will change my life drastically. But all the author asks is to think positive. I have previously attracted a lot of things which I deeply wished for. I can only comment on the authenticity of the book after I attract them again now. To stay positive, I kept a reminder in my phone for Morning, afternoon, evening and night. I close my eyes, smile broadly and repeat these affirmations. Whenever I feel negative, I force a smile on my face and try to look at the positive side of the situation. I had been writing my gratitude journal for more number of times than I used to previously.

The doubts of mine which the book answered

 
Will I ruin my life if I think negatively?
The power of a good thought is 100 times the power of a negative thought
 
What if I wish for what is not right for me?
There is a time delay between what you wish for and what you get
 
How do I know if I am thinking good thoughts?
Emotions are a result of our thoughts. In case you are not sure what you are thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling. That answers the question about the depth of your thoughts.
 
What do I do when I am spiralling down the negativity pillar?
Trigger the warning button and command it to change frequency
 
How to start with the positive thoughts?
Close your eyes. Focus on the feelings inside and smile.
 
How long will it take?
It takes the time for you to align your thoughts and be sure to reach the frequency of your dream
 
Will it take longer time to attract bigger things?
When you are considering something as big, you are not believing that you can get it. In that case, you can start small and slowly increase it.
 
Is there enough for all I ask for?
You can’t attract all you want if you have scarcity mentality. There is enough for everyone in the Universe.
 
How to deal with doubts?
Send that thought away. Tell yourself that you know that you are receiving the order
 
What to do about the events which did not go the way you want?
Replay them in the way you wish they could have happened
