How's your personal magnetism? I was thinking about this subject the other day. Personal magnetism is not something only people like movie stars or politicians. Actually, our bodies are electrical systems. And, just like a magnet, we all can attract (or repel) people, situations or things either to or away from us.

This is because our thoughts and emotions are forms of energy as well, and the thoughts and emotions that we "send out" have a great deal to do with how others perceive us and how we interact in the world.

The key here is to become aware of the types of thoughts and emotions you generally have. Are they positive and open to possibilities, or negative and critical (of yourself or others)? A simple point to remember is that you attract what you focus on.

For example, if you catch yourself having a negative thought such as, "I'll never get ahead," you're sending out a negative, or repelling, energy. But if you turn it into a positive statement, like "I am succeeding in my chosen path," you'll be sending out a positive, attracting energy.

So,boost your personal magnetism with positive thoughts, and, like the old folk song, "let your little light shine."
