It Works?!

Well, maybe, although its certainly too soon to say. I’m actually referring to my previous post about the so called “Law of Attraction“, which essentially says that if you keep thinking about something/circumstance, that is indeed what will manifest. So the claim is that if you’re thinking about avoiding something, you will actually manifest what you’re trying to avoid, whereas if you think about yourself enjoying success over something, then that is what will manifest (yes I know it sounds really new-agey and nebulous).

So the whole reason I decided to try out this interesting (and seemingly unrealistic) mindset really was to get myself out of the crapshoot I’ve been in for a few months now (refer to previous post for juicy details). I am very skeptical about any claims that have no tangible/measurable evidence (which is probably why I’m working on being a scientist), but I really was at my wits end and was willing to try anything (legal of course). Therefore inspite of being a skeptic, I am open minded to most ideas (except for McDonalds on the Moon!), so I decided to try this Law of Attraction thing, give it a chance and see if there is any truth beyond the advertising and new age garbage. I really do want to believe in it, really – I’ll be happier than most if it does work!

Basically what I’m doing is some form of visualization/psyching myself up and “feeling” like I’ve achieved what I want to already – but I try to do this for a little while everyday, and not mope about why I’m constantly pissed at my boss and recurring circumstances. I’ve been doing this for little situations for the last couple of weeks and it seems like things are getting better (on the surface at least) and I’m feeling less stressed out (fewer hairs falling). If this does work, I want to find a logical reason as to why it does and try not to relegate all responsibility and power to “the universe”.

Has anyone else used this? Lemme know!
