Thank you for responding in such a supportive manner @wolf!

Embrace it for a little while and let it pass. Fighting emotions is not good and we are not designed to do it for any amount of time!

Once you have pinpointed why you are feeling sad, let it be, recognise it, and once you feel the relief of it then you can start changing the thoughts that are negative into positive ones again 😊

It's always OK to feel sad. All feelings, no matter how painful, are positive and help us grow and learn. Think of emotions as messengers - they are here to guide you.

If you repress your emotions too often, your joys will lose life and your sadness will become stuck, like you're emotionless and depressed.

I recommend practicing meditation or mindfulness when you feel sad, just accept it and let it flow through you like water. Don't judge it and don't beat yourself up for feeling bad - that blocks the flow. Emotions are energy in motion.

When you feel so blue, just be mindful of what you feel, accept it, remind yourself that fear is simply an illusion, and remind yourself of how brave you can be. It'll pass.

With awareness, you'll be more conscious of the thoughts that make you sad and it will be easier for you to change them and snap out of the negative loop when you catch it building.

You can also just enjoy a walk in nature, an uplifting movie, a song that soothes you - anything that helps you feel relief and soothing, anything that helps you feel closer to your own presence.

Also, remember that sadness may come not because we are in a low emotional place, but also because we might be releasing stuck emotional energy, so don't think you're back to square one just because you feel sad, it could very well be that you're making a lot of progress.

Additionally, I think it's good to have a list of what helps you accept and move up from different emotional states. I keep a list to soothe myself if I ever get depression again so I can snap out of it quicker: exercise, mindfulness meditation, favorite video games, movies, and books that keep me uplifted - I keep a list of these things to easily remind myself of what I can do when I feel blue and it soothes me because it reminds me that the action to heal is in my hands.

Being new to the forum and LOA even I was looking for an answer to your thread. No matter how much you try raising your vibration by focusing on the positives at times, I just break down and feel am back to square one. But the advice here are pretty motivating. When I feel blue I cry and then tell myself "Ok thats enough, please leave" and i feel better

Regarding you attracting other people, a good friend mentioned to me in another forum that when we practice LOA we attract the qualities of the people we desire, so people with those qualities will try to get in touch or contact you. Happy LOA
