5 Reasons You Attract What You Are, According to Psychology

The Law of Attraction is a popular self-growth method used and adored by both spiritualists and psychologists alike. It states that you attract what you are. This means that what you put out into the world, you get back for yourself.

It is based on the principle that like attracts like. This could apply to almost anything in your life that can be good, or bad. Romantic partners, friends, careers, and experiences can all be influenced by the power of attraction.

If you are dedicated enough to something, you can attract it to you with intention.

It is believed that if you focus enough on what you want, or don’t want, that will come to you. For example, if you are focused on getting a promotion, by thinking about it, imagining it, and considering it already done, then that promotion will be yours. If your mind is set on your future promotion, you will attract it to you.

Similarly, if you are stuck in a negative place, perhaps focused on your fears or doubts, those will come to you too. This could mean being so focused on fearing that your partner will leave you that you force your fears to come true.

Reasons You Attract What You Are

 

1. Your Thoughts Are Hyper-Focused

If you attract what your focus on, then you should be cautious not to let your thoughts get away from you.

Oftentimes we become fixated, or hyper-focused, on one train of thought. You might find yourself obsessing for days or weeks on end over things that make you anxious or feel depressed. This is a natural but hard cycle to break. This kind of obsessive thinking is exactly what the Law of Attraction is based upon though.

For example, you are stressed and your thoughts are all about that stress. According to the theory, this will only attract more stress to you.

On the other hand, if you are optimistic and your thoughts are positive and equally obsessed with the good things in your life, more positive things will be attracted to you.

If you are uncertain about why you are attracting certain circumstances in your life, take a look inward at where your thoughts are focused. As your hyper-focused thoughts dictate who you are, and you attract what you are, you have the power to choose whether negativity or positivity comes to you by overhauling the way you’re thinking.
