So, after poking around this topic for a bit, I’m starting to second-guess whether this even falls under the umbrella of psychology, but I still can't quite bring myself to label it as just some "Alternative" nonsense, especially since I'm the kind of person who really leans on the scientific method and hard data... You know what I mean? Anyway, I actually stumbled upon that Law of Attraction documentary on YouTube recently, and there was this one line right at the start that just stuck with me—it said "universe does not exist without mind." When you take that idea, along with the whole movie, and try to mesh it with what quantum physics is suggesting these days, it actually starts to feel pretty logical... the only real headache is that you just can't put a ruler on it or measure it in a lab somewhere.🙂

I feel like we might have had a bit of a misunderstanding here, or maybe the thread title is just a little clunky, you know? I wouldn't go so far as to say this whole topic falls under New Age spirituality or anything "out there"—it’s really just about mindset. It's kind of like when someone constantly tells themselves they're the best, the smartest, or the toughest until they actually start believing it, and then suddenly everyone around them starts seeing them that way too. Or, looking at it from the flip side, think about someone who's always subconsciously telling themselves they're unlucky, a failure, or just totally incompetent, and eventually, their whole life just ends up spiraling into that exact reality... does that make sense? I mean, I'm definitely no expert, but to me, this feels like straight-up human psychology rather than something involving "fortune tellers" or those types of people selling snake oil and smoke machines.

I’m really curious to hear from anyone else on this sub who might have actually tried this stuff out in the real world. Has anyone seen any actual results? Like, did you notice any real shifts in how you carry yourself or even just small positive tweaks in your daily behavior?

For those who are totally new to the concept, we’re talking about a method of basically "imprinting" specific messages directly into your subconscious through all sorts of triggers—whether that’s audio, visual cues, or reading certain texts, what some people call affirmations. Usually, you see folks with massive ambitions diving into this, whether they’re trying to climb the corporate ladder at a place like Goldman Sachs, leveling up their dating life, or hitting some intense fitness and weight loss goals. You can even make these things super personal by journaling them down, pairing them with clippings from magazines or images you find online, and then reciting them to yourself or even out loud in front of a mirror.

But honestly, it doesn't even have to be that formal or intense. It could just be as simple as watching some motivational YouTube clips or TED Talks first thing in the morning—maybe for about thirty minutes right after you wake up, since that's when your mind is supposedly most wide open and ready to soak everything up.

Anyway, I’d love to get the take of any professionals who study this kind of thing, but also just regular people who have given it a shot if there are any of you out there.
