So now I'll just follow the laws of attraction

supercalifragilistic · 04-07-2007, 02:13 PM

After watching "The Secret" I'm now motivated to just stop obsessing about my ex and trusting (and visualizing) that he'll come back to me. When? I don't know. But meanwhile I'll be doing things that I like and make me happy, now that I see that I can be very happy without him. Sure I miss being with him, but if he's not sure of what he wants, there's nothing I can do.

I'll just think positive things and get rid of the negative people in my life. Two days into this I already feel so much better. Whether this law of attraction is actually true and works, I have no idea. It does seem a little far fetched. But I guess there's no harm believing it if it makes me happy and there's the chance it might work. It's not like I'll just sit and wait for things to happen anyway. Being more positive and optimistic can't hurt.

I actually did the parking space thing yesterday, and coincidence or not it worked =P
Along with a few other things. It does seem that the more positive you are, the more things happen the way you want them to and the happier you feel.

If you haven't watched the video, I highly recommend it.

Oooo I bet this will be a sticky thread.

I do the parking spot thing all the time. I also did the lottery ticket thing too, even though I NEVER buy them! I think its great. Its hard to keep up on it though. Probably a good idea to watch the movie over again every so often to keep encouraged. Good for you on staying positive!

It is true, if you visualize positive things, positive things do happen. I have done it with a few things, small things, and it has worked out.

I think we unconsciously sabotage our lives if we constantly think negatively about ourselves and our lives.

Good for you.

It is completely true. I watched The Secret a year ago, and my life is COMPLETELY different. I've visualized/attracted my mate, our home, my job, and my life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with visualizing and believing...that is the most important thing.

If you believe it, then you will see it

It's true...

so you're telling me if i visualize a parking space, there will be one?! ha! i'm sure it's more complicated than that, but this all sounds a bit froo froo for me! then again, my aunt supposedly visualized away her cancer, so who knows....

MasterT · 04-07-2007, 04:42 PM

I've done the parking spot one and others myself. I'm generally a skeptic about these things, but it seems to have worked more than once with me

Beyondthesea · 04-07-2007, 05:02 PM

WOW bear, that's exactly what "The Secret" is all about. Amazing for her!

Yeah, pretty much. I'm very skeptical about these things, and as I said, it might be not be true at all. But what I realized is that it can't hurt thinking that it works and trying it out, because at the very least, you'll be happy and when you are happy you attract happy people which in turn make your life even happier

Hope it helps/motivates you as much as it did with me

I look at it this way- it doesn't take a lot of imagination to make yourself believe the world and life sucks. And when you put your focus there- well, what do you know, that's alot of what pops up for you. It's like if you go to a party and in one corner of the room, everyone's cynical and bitter- but in the other two thirds of the room, people are more upbeat and enjoying themselves- well, if you choose to spend more of your time in that cynical bitter corner, then what a shock that you will come away having had a bad time.

But if you focus on the positive- have gratitude for the good things in your life- become more mindful of them- you enjoy yourself life more of the time, and when there are rough waters and disappointments, I think you just can navigate through them faster. It's like in that film "What the Bleep Do We Know", one of the scientists talks about the effects different emotions have on our cells. And when you primarily have one kind of thought, you'll end up with primarily one kind of mood. Meaning, if you're bitter, depressed, etc. most of the time, it's an almost self-fulfilling thing that you're going to remain that way. So, focus on positive thinking, it's more likely to begat more positive thinking.

I have to say that I have started "testing' the law of attractions too! And I think it works. In the week that I started, I felt considerable changes in my mood and the interactions I was having with others. I had two new leads on jobs and felt more hopeful about my relationship and what form it will take in the future.

I find that the visualizations make me smile and feel good - if only for that reason it is worth it to do them. But I do believe there is more to it than that...

This is good old common sense taken to the next level. If we think that being positive obviously makes us feel good, this is more complex - our thoughts can play a huge role in how we live our lives. We do have control. It is possible to control and determine what happens in your life - you just have to grab the wheel and start steering. Actively and with conviction.
