Introduction: How Understanding the Law of Attraction Changed Everything For Me

Merriam-Webster defines “inside out” as this:

“In such a manner that the inner surface becomes the outer”

I named my blog after reading this definition because it basically sums up the key to the Law of Attraction; that in order to change our life on the outside, we must first make changes within.

I decided to start this blog because I wanted to help people who maybe had an intellectual sense of the Law of Attraction, but couldn’t figure out how to internalize the teachings.

When I first started learning about the LOA (after watching “The Secret”), I was intrigued and excited. I thought all I had to do was want what I wanted, think about it all the time, and then it would just magically appear.

I think I waited like 2 days before I was like okay this is bullshit, I didn’t win the lottery or meet the man of my dreams. Back to my crappy, regularly scheduled life.

Even though I was disappointed, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I felt something resonate with me when I first learned about the LOA. This led me to start reading every book I could on the subject. As I learned and understood more, I started realizing how unrealistic my original expectations actually were.

I was starting to understand the concepts but couldn’t figure out how to actually do it.

• How do you detach from the thing you want when it’s literally all you can think about?
• How do you “raise your vibration“, and what the fuck even is that?
• How do you start feeling happy when you feel like your life is one catastrophe and disappointment after the other?

The turning point for me was when a blogger I follow (Kelli Cooper) said in one of her podcasts:

“The Law of Attraction isn’t what you do, it’s what you are.”

I literally felt something click. I started asking what am I? And the answer was not pretty.

I was insecure, lonely, overweight, worried about money all the time, and I felt like a loser that nobody would want to date or be friends with.

And guess what? My outside world was mirroring this back to me 100%.

So I started taking responsibility for my life, my circumstances and myself.

I prioritized feeling good above all else.

I started to genuinely appreciate and focus on all that I had in my life. At the time it was a short list:

My dogs 🙄

But I did it. At the end of each day I would lay in bed and pet my dogs and feel so grateful and happy that I had them, for example.

And slowly, as my perspective started changing, I started seeing other little pockets of happiness, and started focusing on them.

Now if you asked me what I’m grateful for the list would be a mile long:

My dogs

My relationship with my family

My amazing relationship with my boyfriend

My beautiful apartment

Truly good friendships

Weight loss

More money

My relationship with myself

My genuine happiness and appreciation of life in general.

I’m definitely not trying to brag, and sometimes I can’t even believe this is my life.
So stick with me, and I’ll try to map out how to utilize the teachings of the Law of Attraction in a way that’s simple and effective.
And hopefully you’ll see your list get longer and your life get happier too.
