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?

Sounds like you're preparing for change. 'While this (how I appear now) is to some degree who I am, my new wardrobe of clothes will define who I am on the verge of becoming'.

They have sold their house. Omg I can't believe I picked up the file. We have 10 people in our department & I picked it up.

It's brought up a lot of old feelings for me & i feel lost. Clearly he did have stuff to sort out as he said when we split. Will he move on now while I feel stuck? Will he try & contact me if sis is moving on? Will he realise he misses me when she's not there in his face? They are moving into the rental they own, is she moving too or moving on with bf? Will I bump into him at the local pool now he's sold his house with the pool? I'm so confused & anxious. Still can't believe I picked up THAT file.

Definitely very confronting and has obviously raised a lot of questions and a whole stack of emotions. I hope things unfold in a way that brings you many of the answers you need. A very challenging time, indeed.

I'm so rattled. Questioning why he contacted couple of months ago, how much was he really going through, should I forgive, how will he feel about everything once he's moved house. I still have dreams now & then. Im anxious & very, very sad. I guess I thought it would never happen. I always wanted it to. Funny how it happened now I'm out of the picture.

Maybe it's a sign I need to move on too? Leave all the memories behind in that house. Memories of him & her & how we never stood a chance as long as he was indebted to her. Maybe he'll realise what he threw away? Then again, he'll always be that self centred person who takes me for granted. I don't think he's deep enough to have any emotion about it.
Yeah. Maybe I saw that today as a sign for me to let go. I can't believe I picked up that work today. We manage thousands of properties & I picked up that one. No wonder I feel it is just never ending with him.
