Hello everyone!
I am still continuing in my journey without LoA and I have another question I would like to pose to you all.

I have several things I would like to attract into my life including a relationship with my ex and a new job. I’ve been working on releasing the resistance I have and accepting what is. I have been a person who always wants to know the how’s and why’s of everything and tries to analyze everything, so I have been working to to relax a bit and stop doing that so much.

For the last week or so I have managed to keep from worrying so much about the future and accept things as they are. That sounds like a really good thing however it feels very much like resignation on my part. It doesn’t feel bad but there is no extra spark or joy or happiness. It’s more like a feeling of “it is what it is and it will be what it will be”. I don’t know if this is good in any way, because I’m not worrying so much about everything, or if it’s counterproductive because it lacks joy? I was just curious what you all might think as many of you have had so much experience attracting things into your life. 🙂

 
That's why I don't say affirmations unless I already believe them. I know, it makes you feel !ike you are lying to yourself, but saying 'I want' is stating that you don't have it. I heard one person say somewhere a long time ago that it doesn't matter if you don't believe affirmations at first, he found that if he repeated them long enough he did start to believe them, and perhaps other people have had that experience, but I didn't have it myself. There's something I do that helps me believe something that hasn't happened yet. It's a form of Neville's revision. I usually do it in writing and read it like it's a letter from someone but sometimes I hear a person speaking, and it doesn't have to be their voice, it can even be your own voice. Either way, I have them telling me what I want to hear, what I want to believe to be true. You can do this for anything, it doesn't have to be relationship-related. It could be an imaginary letter offering you a place on a course or an invitation to an event, anything you wanted it to be. Then, I read it or hear it over and over until I believe it, and that doesn't have to be all in one go, it can be over as long a period of time as it takes, and if I need to I'll go back and do that again at a later date, or I might change it later if I feel like it. You could try that. It works for me.

That totally makes sense. That is the same issue I have had with affirmations (not all affirmations but often ones relating to something I really really want). I will give your idea a try. Thanks!

It's simple because LOA itself is as a concept, we just put labels on things and decide their difficulty. 

Very true.

Hi everyone,
I know I’ve posted before, but I was just looking for some  sort of reassurance. Sometimes I just feel like I need to talk this LoA stuff out with someone and I don’t know anyone in my everyday life who has knowledge or an interest in the subject.

Anyway, I have been reading different theories on LoA for a few years now, and I have seen small results. I kind of go up and down when it comes to my consistency (I’m working on it!). Recently i have stopped doing a lot of visualization and other extra things and really have just focused on telling myself what I want. (I never realized how often I think about what I *don’t* want.) So I just think of a statement I want, ex: I want to be a relationship with so-and-so, I want a job that I make X amount of money, etc etc. It makes me feel really good to think this way most of the time. In the last week or so I haven’t felt as good, but I also see “signs” that feel relevant to me. I see repeating numbers, which I have always enjoyed seeing and I also have been seeing a lot of cardinals lately, which I always felt were like a nudge from the Universe that something is going to happen between me and my ex. (That probably sounds weird. Lol aim not sure where the whole cardinal thing came from.)

Anyway, does it sound to anyone like I might be on the right track? Any thoughts?

I just wanted to share something I thought was kind of funny. I had been a little down earlier in the day and was thinking about how I wish I could have some sort of sign that all this LoA stuff really works. (I believe it does but when things are seeming to go wrong it can be difficult to remember that.)

Anyway, I was scrolling through Instagram (I follow several home decor feeds) and came across a photo of a lovely living room with a framed image saying “IF YOU’RE WAITING FOR A SIGN, THiS IS IT.” I honestly giggled out loud. I thought it was a very blunt way for the Universe to get it’s point across.
