The Law of Attraction: It Isn’t Only for Hippies

I know it’s been a while since I’ve written here. It’s been a while since I’ve written anywhere, admittedly. I’ve hardly been able to finish my work because I’ve had this mental blockage, and I’m not talking about writer's block.

I felt this block for a few months now, and I thought ignoring it would help. I simply ignored it, a bad mood, and continued with my day. It was only about a month ago that I realized it was something I needed to address.

For the first time in over a decade, I am back in therapy.

This is a great thing, great news coming from me. I have a lot of grief processing that has yet to happen, both from a decade ago and from this year. Because of all that has happened to me, I know that this help is going to be very beneficial.

I’ve had two sessions so far, and I already feel very comfortable with my therapist. I know that I’ve bagged on writers who get extra personal in the past, but I get it — this is just a life update that I feel like sharing with my readers.

I do feel guilty about my absence.

I wanted to write more than ever this month, and I wrote less. It happens. We can blame the time of the season, the things that go on in life, and the things that we are really struggling with. It is all valid, and it is all applicable.

I am here for now, but I cannot guarantee that I will stay. I have a lot of healing left to do, and I know that takes precedence over a lot of things that are going on. I want to be present, and I want to write on here more. I want to be able to share stories with joy and not have to worry about the stressors in my life that seem to overtake me like an army of toy soldiers once it gets dark outside.

I want to fall asleep without the fear of dreaming about one of the somethings that happened to me.

It’s difficult when you are exhausted, but you are also scared to sleep. Winding down means “dark thought hours.” It can mean a lot of things for many people, I realize. For me, personally, it opens the door to the feelings that lie below the surface.

I’m not always ready for them to join me, and that is okay. That is what therapy is for, and gives me an allocated time to bring them all up. Let’s invite them all into the same room and allow them to mingle for one hour. Then, they can go away again.

I haven’t even talked about the point yet.

The point is that I have been manifesting a lot, and I have been living my life according to the principle of the law of attraction. This isn’t something new, but it is something new that I am sharing with the world or my readers.

When you manifest something, this means you believe that it has already happened. You live your life as though you already have the things that you want the most, but you must realize that you have to place yourself in a position of action to get these things.

The number one rule — there is no room for self-doubt. That’s what I wasn’t able to master only a few months ago. There were a lot of self-doubts. Every other move that I made felt questionable, even though it wasn’t. I can see this in hindsight.

I have a daily routine now that focuses on manifestation.

I honestly cannot adequately explain how much this fulfills me. I know that I wrote about prayer earlier this month, but this manifestation in addition to my prayers has helped me heal in more ways than one.

When you are going through something that is still currently happening and grappling with things that have happened in the past, shit gets overwhelming. There is no other way to put it.

Through the law of attraction, manifestation, and prayer, I know that everything is going to be okay.
