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?

Hi CMF
I big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you 🎂🎉💖🙂
I think sometimes we can be sent reminders, just in case we begin to forget how we feel about someone. How much someone hurt us can begin to fade into the background, as opposed to remaining one of the things that drives us to begin our new life in ways that serve us. As you begin your own personal happy new year, I hope new and exciting things are gifted your way.

Wish I was there with an opportunity to make things easier and less painful, while taking you out somewhere special for some coffee and cake. Instead, I will focus on the universe gifting you something joyful, something special. Sending out a wish for you. Hoping it comes to you fulfilled. 💖

Thank you therising
Maybe he is just respecting my wishes. I hate believing he is a horrible person. I wish I could have a sign just to know there is some remorse for the way things worked out. Some accountability. Considering when we broke up last year he wanted to see the angry messages I typed so he could laugh thinking I'd never mean it he perhaps has realised how hurtful his actions were. Or maybe he is laughing & really doesn't care. I can't deal with it.
I've given it to the universe 🙏

Hi CMF,
I'm really sorry this happened to you on your birthday. Maybe he was respecting your wishes. You can't know for sure and it's still hurtful regardless of his intent. My thoughts are that it says everything about him that you need to know.
One thing I did find when I gave my problem to the universe was that I started getting lots of painful random reminders and I think those reminders were telling me to let go of the past. Then, I was given a gift to help me do that. It's like 'I will send this to you when you are ready for it'.
I hope the universe comes back to you with something wonderful. I'm sending out that wish for you too.

Hi WF
"...it says everything about him that you need to know". This hit home & funnily enough it's what I already knew. I guess I'm still hanging on to who I wish he was not who he really is. He wasn't completely awful but there were many things that made me unhappy & he knew it.
Yes, I think I am getting lots of reminders. Especially the flowers from work. He wasn't really one for flowers, and that's fine, but to get red roses...well maybe the Universe is telling me that other's love & appreciate me or telling me to love myself more? Either way, I've handed it over but still can't stop thinking about it. It's winter & so cold which doesn't help.
Life hey 😔

So I can be superstitious. I feel if I move or change something I'll have bad luck & I'm def affected by other people's energy. My manager is going thru challenging times. I sit right outside his office. We get along but he can be rude to me when stressed. Last month or so I have been feeling so drained at work. I feel negative energy from him & people who go into his office with issues & I'm so unsettled. I finally moved desks as I couldn't deal anymore. I'm still close by but I'm tucked away nice & cosy & my computer screens block out his energy. Yesterday was a great day. I love my little corner. I've also gone back to using a handbag I used to use. I bought a new one just when I ended things with my ex & haven't felt comfy with it. I think it reminds me of finally ending with him. So far these adjustments are making me feel better 🙏

If he was meant for me there would have been peace & harmony. God/The Universe showed me over and over he wasn't for me. Guess I needed to learn the lesson 😌

Hi CMF,
I'm really glad you had a good day and you love your new space. Sometimes changing things up is a good thing because it does change your own energy, the energy around you and maybe even the energy you attract to yourself. Even small changes, over time, make a big difference. I changed all of my routines so that I wouldn't be constantly reminded, and started walking which I had never done before, and I find I'm feeling increasingly better emotionally. Still have my bad moments, but less often and they go away more quickly.
As for superstitious, yeah - me too. Though I've decided to stick to the superstitions I like and ignore the ones I don't.

What a horrible way to spend your birthday, CMF. I'm so sorry you've had to deal with everything regarding your ex, and it's good that you've been able to see the lesson within all of it, I feel that this is a noble way to look at it. The flowers also seem like a nice gesture to help you feel better, and I'm glad to hear that little adjustments like moving desks and buying a new bag have also been helping. I often find that changing my environment or things within my environment helps if I'm not feeling great within a certain space.
How are you taking care of yourself during this time? Are you spending time with loved ones, or treating yourself for your birthday? If you've got the time and energy to cook yourself something special or buy a nice little treat, that can help lift your spirits as well. It's important to take care of ourselves as much as we can when we're not feeling our best. Self-love is so important.
...And happy birthday for the other day, too 😊
