People Pleasing 101: How To Break The Cycle

Using the Law of Attraction is about more than just wishing for something—it’s about aligning your thoughts, energy, and actions with the reality you want to create. When you live in harmony with your desires, you begin to attract opportunities, people, and circumstances that match the vibration you’re putting out into the world.

This recording is designed to remind you of your power. Every day you are either consciously or unconsciously shaping your reality. The Law of Attraction works whether you believe in it or not. The difference is that when you learn to use it intentionally, you step into the driver’s seat of your own life. Instead of drifting, you begin to manifest with clarity and purpose.

Inside this message, I talk about aligning with the energy of what you want, practicing gratitude to expand your frequency, and visualizing with conviction so your subconscious mind believes it’s already yours. When your mindset and your vibration match the life you desire, the universe has no choice but to respond.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or wondered why the things you want seem just out of reach, this will help you shift perspective. You’ll learn that life isn’t about chasing—it’s about attracting. By staying focused, positive, and consistent in your inner work, you create a magnetism that pulls your goals closer to you every single day.

For a deeper dive into these principles, make sure you check out my book Live the Life You Deserve. It’s available now on Audible, so you can listen anywhere, anytime, and let these teachings sink into your subconscious. Go deeper and get the audibook now, Live The Life You Deserve on Audible, or order the Hardback or Paperback versions for those of you who like to feel the energy of a book. 

Using the Most Powerful Magnetic Energy: The Law of Attraction

I wanted to create a space where I could chat with thought leaders, spiritual luminaries, authors, and health and wellness experts to discuss how we can free ourselves spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, and beyond. I care about mindset, movement, and positive relationships and I created this podcast for people who also care about these topics. You’ll also hear passionate solo episodes where Sylvester goes deep into a zone of consciousness and talk about subjects that are calling me.
