And therefore, it's my own negative energy that attracted all these terrible situations to myself? How can one even function in life by going along with this belief system? SO many people struggle with negative thoughts and with negativity in this world. For many, it's a daily and constant struggle and battle. So that means that we're only going to attract more negative things, people and circumstances into our lives if we battle negative thinking? I don't know. I just don't like this belief system. It makes me scared and fearful of my very own thoughts, and I don't like that one bit.

I struggle with this concept too. Some people find the idea that they are "responsible" empowering. But I just freak out. I'm not talking about taking personal responsibiluty for my life and behaviors. I do that well. Thoughts seem different to me.
That being said, there are a couple LOA podcasts I follow. One is "Unf*ck your brain". The other is "love your life + law of attraction" with Jennifer Bailey. I listen for fun. Both are on Spotify, and other platforms as well.
I do find my own self, rather parted about LOA. When I first posted in this thread, I was like, no its probably not real. Now, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Maybe it isn't the only law or important thing in life if it is true. Learning to cope with our troubles and problems, is truly helpful too.
And...yes I have issues with some of the LOA. Like other religions and spiritual things, we cannot know if it works for real, unless...it WORKS FOR
US. Just do what works for you, I say.
One thing I notice, is a lot of LOA info out there, to get maximum benefit and help and clarity on things, coaches are available. But it seems rather unfair to those who don't have the finances for coaching, and may possibly need it most!
