Meditation, Manifesting, Gratitude & The Law of Attraction

Hi everyone,
Not sure where to start so hope I can express myself clearly and maybe with others' input we can expand on this. I'm interested in people's thoughts/ experience with meditation, manifesting, gratitude & the law of attraction. I've recently started using the Smiling Mind app to meditate when going to sleep and sometimes when feeling a little anxious, like tonight. It is something i thought i could never do as my mind rarely stops, however, with persistence, I find I enjoy it. I guess i tend to have a negative mindset which I am determined to change.I always felt uneasy about thinking positive things as i thought i would jinx myself, and that whenever I made a positive comment or felt happy it would go wrong or something negative would happen. So i refrained from allowing myself to be too happy, I guess to 'protect' myself. Recently i have been feeling happier, stronger, expressing gratitude and taking note of when things have come to me when i needed them. Coincidence, or answers to what i put out to the Universe? I like to think the latter. A work colleague one day told me to manifest something i wanted, put it out to the universe , so I'm trying. Example, recently we needed to measure the floor space at reception so we could calculate how many people we could have in at one time. I needed a tape measure, which i did not have. At that moment our handyman walked into the office. Guess what he had? I am getting into the habit of practising positive thinking instead of thinking/expecting negatives. If something 'negative' does crop up, it can be dealt with, it's not the end of the world. I look for the positive in every negative situation. I am becoming more aware of being grateful for little things, things like getting a good car park at work, a warn cosy bed, a tidy house. I feel when i am expressing gratitude I am putting positive thoughts out into the universe and I notice more positives instead of focusing on negatives. Late last week we had internet issues at work and a colleague i found a little annoying. I've been feeling very drained, agitated, negative for a few days. This morning things were not running smoothly for me. A result of my negative mind perhaps? Little things became a big deal, my morning was crap. If i look back, it wasn't really an issue, i just did things in a different order which gave me more relax time this evening. The Law of Attraction, positive thoughts, positive experiences.
What are your thoughts?

I'm quite down & a little anxious. I feel lonley. I've been thinking alot about an old friend I haven't seen in many years. A male friend. I bumped into him years ago working near my home. I have no idea if he's married, single, I think he has a child. No idea where he lives. He is on my mind alot maybe cos I'm lonley. He has a nice smile, just a nice guy. I cant stop thinking of him. I wonder if I'm manifesting him? Maybe I'll see him somewhere?

Will be seriously impressive if you suddenly cross paths.

Yes it would be. I saw a pic of him from 10 years ago. He looked good so I guess I'm hanging onto that memory.
Anyway, he is on my mind alot but I guess I'll leave it with the Universe. Who knows, we may cross paths again. It's certainly happened before.

My vibe is low. It's cold, my daughter's coughing. I feel lonley. I need to raise my vibe. I'm not feeling abundant cos I'm hesitant to put the heating on & get anxious about bills to pay. How do I change this? I just want to live a simple life. Be comfortable & not worry about day to day things. I don't want to travel or buy expensive things. I just want to live day to day comfortably.

I was in hospital 3 days this week after passing out at work. Came home Wednesday arvo & feeling pretty down & out by Thursday arvo. Anxiety creeping in. Lo & behold I got a text from one of the business partners at work. He offered to come round for a cuppa & bring anything I needed. We had a luncheon in the office on Friday, he told me to go along so I did. I also got messages from other colleagues. I went to the lunch. Was so good to see my beautiful, caring workmates. The Universe giving me just what I needed. I feel down today. It's cold & raining, I have a mild flu but I'll be ok.
Thank you Universe 🙏

I'm sorry to hear that you were in hospital, I can understand you'd be feeling pretty down after that. On the bright side, that's so thoughtful of your workmates checking in on you and offering you things, and inviting you to the luncheon as well was sweet.
It sounds like you may enjoy a relaxing weekend with few plans, which the rain tends to allow for. Have you been doing anything in particular this weekend, or just giving yourself a bit of a rest?

Hi sbella02,
Thank you & I am feeling better but have the flu now. I've chilled at home but today spent thexarvo at my sisters as my nephew is here with his family. It was a lovely arvo but I'm not feeling great.
I really hope I am better for work tomorrow.
I've also spent ALOT of time feeling angry toward my ex. So hurt & angry & I don't want to.

Abraham Hicks says negative thoughts cause dis - ease. Since having all these negative thoughts toward my ex I have been in hospital for an inflamed colon & now how bronchitis. I feel I can't win. Guess it is my sign to stop focussing on him & let it go.

I am letting go of my anger. Giving it to the Universe. I had put away all the gifts he gave me, deciding wether to throw them out but decided not to. The gifts were thoughtful. I actually pulled out the coffee maker & decided to keep using it as it's better than the one I bought to replace it. I need to think of it as just a coffee maker. Take the emotion out, just like he would. I may as well get something good out of the 5 years.
