Attraction Principle #4
Nature Abhors a Vacuum

One of the easiest and most effective ways to attract something new into your life is to create the space. If you feel stuck, tackle a pile of clutter in your house. Throw out something that you no longer need or that no longer applies to your life. In fact, throw out lots of stuff and do a real clutter-clearing and I guarantee you will start attracting all sorts into your life. Just be careful to say “no” to the stuff you don’t want. If you want a new relationship, let go of an old one first. If you want a new client, clear out your files. If you want some new clothes, clean the closet. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you clean out your sock drawer or the kitchen junk drawer or the garage. Just clear out some clutter and you will immediately activate the law of physics to your advantage. Any clutter represents stuck energy. This law is not mumbo jumbo – it is based on the laws of physics — nature abhors a vacuum. “Create a vacuum and the universe will quickly send new things to fill your empty space.” (Tip # 11 from Coach Yourself to Success) “Once you create the space, the universe will try to fill it.” You all know this from personal experience when you’ve cleaned out a drawer in your dresser only to find it gets filled up with stuff almost before you know it. Nature cannot resist an empty space.

This works for your schedule, too. If you want more time, leave some blank space in your schedule. Don’t book everything up or there is no room for something new to come in. One client, an extremely busy and successful executive hired me because he wanted to find a woman. His schedule was so full that he didn’t even have time for a half-hour coaching call a week with me. I told him that he had a space problem and even if he did find the woman he dreamed of, he didn’t have any space in his life for her. He focused on leaving some time in the evenings and weekends free and, bingo, he attracted a woman in no time.

This is probably the fastest and easiest way to attract something new in your life—enjoy the process!

P.S. If you are having trouble clearing clutter, try this question when evaluating an object. Have I used this in the last six months? If not, you had better ask why you are letting it clog up your life and block new things from coming in. (See Tip #12 in Coach Yourself to Success).
