Law of Attraction: have you ever attracted things like?

Nah, it’s a load of nonsense. There’s something to be said for visualising yourself doing things - studying well, lifting a heavy barbell, asking someone out - and then executing. But just trying to ’’attract’’ things you have no real influence on is just hocus-pocus.

I've been applying for jobs at the moment, I think having a negative mindset then you'd put less effort into it, lower quality applications and spend less time searching for jobs. So I can see how having a positive mindset leads to more opportunities. Affirmations as well could keep you spirits lifted. With the visualisation thing or some sort of vision board I suppose the exercise could make you more clear on what exactly you want. But dreaming isn't enough on its own you got to take action.

I thought that too till it started to work for me. There were just too many coincidences.
Not even joking, I've won awards using LOA. It's crazyyy.

I’ve manifested different things to that list but the process works for everything in the same way.

Once you start thinking along those lines and using manifestation for things, you’ll start to ascribe your successes to having wielded your magical power. When it doesn’t work, you won’t notice and you won’t count it against your idea that the law of attraction works. This is a well-understood phenomenon called the confirmation bias.

Yeah, that makes sense.
I'm a very 'scientific'/factual person and I don't believe stuff like this easily (I'm not even religious), but I honestly think you should try it- you'd be very surprised. Maybe you could try it for like 2 or 3 days lol and see if it works..
I can't even begin to explain how things that I thought was impossible were possible and happened to me.

All I know that it works, and it's powerful.

No, and neither has anybody else because the "Law of Attraction" is nothing more than a mind trick.

I've got too many things to remember, but some of the biggest ones have to be the awards I've mentioned. I've done smaller things like my mum's health etc. It's also worked for friendships/relationships.

sorryyyy i didn't mean to take the piss, ig it seems that way when I say nonsense i just think it's silly when ppl don't link it to you're own mindset and hard work, and just the universe giving u stuff if u close your eyes and think about it really hard. in some way i do agree with the law of attraction ig
it's just my opinion tho sorta like how some atheists believe God is nonsense and constantly drag the people who follow a god
