Hi,
I have been browsing this site and watching the videos for about a week now; it really stands out in the field of reconciliation videos and forum s in that it is very positive, no judgmental and encouraging. There is no skulduggery,manipulation, lecturing( the old "plenty of fish, forget about the bum" chestnut of advice) or just plain passive aggressive posturing. I like that- and at the stage I'm now following my breakup, I need this tone.
I am just having trouble discerning where visualization/manifesting is different from obsessing/not getting on with life. If you have a set routine where you are devoting time to visualization, doesn't that contradict with letting go/getting on with life's happy activities/etc.? I'm not sure what is making me more miserable right now- focusing on him(who is now in another relationship,btw) through visualizations/etc.,forcing a fake happiness or driving myself nuts 'zapping" negative thoughts or trying to 'ignore them", which has the unfortnate side effect of distracting me to the point that the whole thing is played out in glorious Technicolor,loudly, while I'm trying to maintain a modicum of sanity and performing even the simplest daily tasks..
Where does one process begin and the other end? I have to be honest - I am very frustrated.

There's a common misconception when you first start these processes that you're somehow being "fake" or "inauthentic". It's something we all have to overcome.
Here's the thing: you start off doing affirmations, meditation, visualization, NAPs, etc., but you only do it in the morning and at night. At first you'll find yourself still feeling miserable/obsessive during the day, but eventually something shifts and you start feeling utter happiness during the day. Your ex is still on your mind, but the frequency starts to diminish little by little.
There can be obsession with LOA, but for it to work effectively you have to just let it come naturally. Doing affirmations and visualizing should feel GOOD. If it doesn't, stop for a little. I PROMISE you, doing visualization at night or in the morning will make your days a lot easier, and help lessen your obsessive/negative thoughts.

Thank you, that does clarify it a bit for me.
I guess I am just weary with the obessive/miserable feeling. I am a mature woman who has been through things like this mny times over the years; I think I'm surprised even at myself for getting so wrapped up in it all this time.

I know the feeling. I used to get down on myself for letting myself get like this--then I realized that doesn't ever fix the problem. Now I just remind myself I'm human and have to take it easy on myself--one day this won't be a problem anymore.

Hi,
I haven't read much of Veronica's material, so I don't know what exactly SHE would recommend. From what I read in TheGiver's post, Veronica's philosophy seems to mesh with my own in many ways, including that we don't need to think about a certain something all throughout the whole day to attract it. In many cases it would be counterproductive.
From my understanding, we don't need to think "the right thoughts", specifically centered on a desire, all throughout the day about any desire, no matter what the desire is! Make sense? If it doesn't it will at some point.
That said, there's a segway into an intrinsic quality of the Law. THINGS COME BACK, out of the blue, not necessarily when you're thinking about them, and always because you have a dominant belief about them in some way. There could be a core belief in you, with a vibration that you can feel, when something like this happens. That part of you, in some way, longs to be honored somehow.
Call it a core belief, or a feeling or vibration, but we can translate it to words and write it down, and then we can visually see a better idea of what's going on. I briefly wrote about an exercise on TheGiver's thread here: In the exercise you have an opportunity at some point to take action on what you find. You can EFT a belief, turn something into an affiirmative affirmation to repeat, or a meditation etc etc. This is the time to create a new vibration that will attract the desire, the desire that is counter to what the current belief will allow.
Be persistent. Be INSISTENT. When you change this core belief, when you make a new belief dominant, you'll attract as such. Don't let up on having this new feeling or this new belief. You won't be able to attract the opposite once you make it set. I promise you! You'll attract all sorts of things aligned with the new vibration including... ___________. Whatever that is for you.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards.

When you visualize you spend about 10 minutes or so creating exactly what would be your hearts desire with a happy heart and believing its real ( kinda like a daydream on steroids) Then you forget about it and go on with your day and to make the magic happen you really have to forget about your desire. It takes a while to perfect as many are still traumatized about the breakup and all that hurt and negativity goes into your processes All the incessant thinking about needing and desperation keeps it from happening SO when you can visualize from a place where you would like it to happen and then no longer counting the minutes or obsessing in thought or word about what you want things start to pull together

Thank you - I think I am starting to get the gist of it now!

There's a huge difference between obsessing/not getting on with life and visualising/manifesting. The former is not recommended here! 😊 As other's have pointed out, LOA is tricky to grasp at first, and you may very well start off my feeling obsessed. But you will come to understand the art of manifestation, and the rewards that will quickly follow. Visualising, scripting, and all other processes are just that.. Activities designed to propel you into higher vibrations. You need to learn how to spend more time there, if you are to experience the magic of manifesting! As you raise your vibe, you have access to new, more exciting thoughts and feelings. And from that comes more clarity about your desires. Which further increase your vibration and feelings of wellbeing. And THEN your physical reality will begin to change. You will begin to manifest. It's a fabulous way to live- consciously creating your life rather than manifesting by default. You need only employ these processes when you feel inspired to do so- and then you make your way through the day with as much gratitude and grace as you can muster. If something feels like a chore or is silly in your opinion, don't do it. Always choose in every moment, the thing that feels better to you. Have you read Ask and it is Given? Fantastic book. 😊🌈
