I’ve been wanting to make this post for a while because I’ve gotten so many asks about how I use LOA for shifting I kept saying I’d make a post soon but every time I sat down to write it I had no idea where to start
the truth is I don’t think LOA is as complicated as people make it seem I also don’t think it’s as magical as some people describe it
this post is just my personal experience I’m not saying this is the only way to shift and I’m definitely not saying everyone has to do exactly what I did This is simply what worked for me after years of trial and error
If you’re expecting some secret method or a magical affirmation you’re probably going to be disappointed because the thing that changed my journey wasn’t a method It was my mindset
so..
I found shifting back in 2021
like most people I immediately started looking for the best method
I tried Julia
I tried the Void
I tried guided meditation
I tried subliminals
basically if people were talking about it I probably tried it every time one method didn’t work I’d move on to another one I genuinely believed I just hadn’t found the method yet looking back now I don’t think methods were ever the problem they can absolutely help they help a lot of people relax, focus, or get into the right state of mind but personally I don’t think they’re the reason someone shifts I think the person is
What LOA became for me
When I first learned about the "Law of Assumption" I completely misunderstood it I thought LOA meant repeating affirmations over and over until one day the universe finally decided to give me what I wanted that’s not how I see it anymore for me LOA is about deciding what’s true and continuing to identify with that decision instead of constantly letting your current reality tell you otherwise That’s literally it Your assumptions create the way you see yourself and the way you see yourself changes everything I stopped identifying as someone who was trying to shift Instead I started identifying as someone who shifts That tiny change completely changed my journey
My affirmations
People ask me all the time what affirmations I used Honestly they were really simple
“I have already shifted.”
“I’m a master shifter.”
That was it I wasn’t searching for powerful affirmations I wasn’t changing them every week I just stayed consistent and before anyone asks…no I didn’t fully believe them at first I know that’s something a lot of people worry about
What if I don’t believe my affirmations?
Personally I don’t think that’s what matters the most because if everyone had to fully believe their affirmations before repeating them nobody would ever start the whole point of repetition in my opinion isn’t to convince the universe It’s to slowly replace your old assumptions with new ones eventually those affirmations stopped feeling fake they just became normal the biggest mistake I used to make I was obsessed with the 3D every single day I’d check for proof
Am I getting closer?
Why didn’t anything happen?
Maybe I’m doing something wrong
Without even realizing it I was constantly affirming against myself because every time I looked for proof I was telling myself I didn’t already have what I wanted that was probably one of the biggest things holding me back the moment I stopped constantly checking and simply persisted in my assumptions everything felt different
What ignoring the 3D actually means to me
This is probably one of the most misunderstood parts of LOA Ignoring the 3D doesn’t mean pretending your current reality doesn’t exist It doesn’t mean acting delusional in your everyday life either to me ignoring the 3D simply means refusing to let it decide what’s possible for me If my current reality showed me absolutely nothing…
I kept affirming.
If I had doubts…
I kept affirming.
If I felt unmotivated…
I kept affirming.
The 3D never got to decide whether my assumptions were true I did doubts are normal I really wish more people understood this we are humans you’re going to have doubts sometimes I did too the difference is that I stopped treating every doubtful thought like it had power over me
I didn’t fight my doubts.
I didn’t panic because of them.
I didn’t think one bad day erased all my progress.
I simply let the thought exist and continued identifying with the version of myself I wanted to be one doubtful thought has never scared me because one thought doesn’t define your entire mindset what you consistently return to matters so much more
My biggest piece of advice
Stop looking for the perfect method seriously I know it’s tempting because I used to do the exact same thing but if you’re constantly thinking maybe this method will finally make me shift you’re giving the power to the method instead of yourself methods can help but they are not the reason you shift you are the moment I stopped chasing methods and started working on my assumptions instead my entire journey changed not just my shifting journey my whole life did
Final thoughts
If I could go back and tell my 2021 self one thing it would be this
Stop searching for the next method.
Stop waiting for the perfect moment.
Stop letting your current reality decide what you’re capable of.
Choose the story you want to live Persist in it and don’t let one bad day convince you to give up that’s genuinely what changed everything for me
I hope this helps someone who’s been feeling stuck
I've noticed that you're a poc, and I'm embarrassed to see that you support race changing. It's still weird in my opinion
Idk what you want me to say atp😂😂😂
I still stand by my opinion... Races are instilled in us to put us in some sort of a "box". you can't evolve if you think that you are just and only will ever be black , Asian etc
Please for the love of whoever don't limit yourself like that.
You are also allowed to do what you want the issue is telling other people what you think is "right" which it isn't since that's what society has been instilling in you since you were literally born.
You are literally the universe experiencing human life!!! Omfg don't let such things make you loose sleep just go shift.
And I'm literally closing this chapter I don't wanna hear anymore questions, my answer will still be the same 😭
And how the hell are you embarrassed that's weird as hell 😭

lemons and leather one summer when we were kids, i created a lemonade stand to raise money for non-profit wildlife and environmental organizations. Lorenzo (my brother) laughed at me, but Benjamin (s/o) gave me this look as if he was seeing me or rather the person i would become. that day smelled like heaven and freshly squeezed lemon. he always smells like his cologne (teakwood and leather), and yet somehow, a faint lemony scent follows him everywhere and i whenever i get a whiff i sometimes wonder if it is on purpose.
affection Benjamin had always been one of few words, he's quiet around people he doesn't know very well, if at all. he's an artist, he loves sketching and writing, sometimes even a highlighted quote in a book is how he'll show his affection. he's also a hoverer; he's not talkative but he's always near. he's shows his love quietly, quality time, physical touch, and small gifts!
comfort in company both Benji and i are homebodies, we are friends when i shift, so we tend to not spend as much time alone as we do with our friend group. when we're at social gatherings we stay close to each other our of comfort and habit. we'd both rather stay in by the fire and order takeout during winter holiday.
the summer versions of us despite our lack of need to socialize, we do have a pretty big friends group–especially during the summer when we head down to Cousins. we can typically be found going on morning muffin/coffee runs, eating lunch out by our pools, and on the beach at bonfires after noon. there's the deb ball every beach season and organized beach-clean-ups we help set-up and take part in. it might be the summer air, or maybe it's just the magic of Cousins, but we come out of our shell this time of year.
a song: a memory "It was summer when i saw your face, looked like a teenage runaway..." (Rollercoaster, Bleachers). this song always pops into my head when i think of Benjamin. yes, we share a love for the classics, but we also love a good summer song. when i hear this song, i instantly think of our relationship and what could possibly change this summer.
love in the little things when i receive an award or accomplish a goal i'd set out for myself, i always celebrate with my family and friends (which includes Benji). he'll normally slip me a piece of paper or a small present privately. when he receives an award i'm more vocal about my congratulations. he gets embarrassed about it, but i know he secretly adores it. this happens with birthdays and holidays as well–except Halloween, we're both October-maniacs and are not afraid to show it.
summer of what ifs our entire lives it's been this "will they, won't they?" kind of relationship. i've known i've had a crush on him since the age of 13, this summer i'm being a bit more bold about myself–i'm not just looking at him anymoe–at least i'm trying not to. he's got this silent energy about him that keeps me wondering if he sees me more than his best friends little sister.
held, just long enough i'm typically very nervous before giving a speech–i do my best to be a good advocate for climate change and how it affects the environment. i am the vice president of key club and–and with that comes a lot of public speaking–which intensifies my anxiety. only my close family and friends know this about me, they encourage me with smiles and nice words, but, Benji, he always takes a moment to hold my hand. he'll squeeze it three times before letting go, almost like a quiet countdown.
the echo of addie everyone calls me Adelina or Lina. Benji's the only one that calls me Addie. he picked it up around age 9. my father had just congratulated me and had said, "adda girl" to which Ren and Benji had overheard and snickered at. i'd made a face at them and right after Benji had said, "it kind of fits, though, Adda–Addie." at the time i'd hated the nickname, but as we got older, it became one of the few things i still had of my childhood. he only calls me Adelina when he's mad at me, but Benji's never mad at me.
before we knew what it meant for me, it's always been him. he was there when i was born, my brother's best friends. the boy next door. i grew up with him. i laughed with him. he was there for my losses and my wins. he saw me through every phase i've ever had. he knew everything about me even when he didn't know anything at all. i was his before we even knew what that meant.
I'm shifting to be an actress in the Pakistani ent industry so like I'll act in dramas and movies, I've scripted that the industry is a bit bigger and better but any other ideas on what I should script for it specifically? (Also btw I love you're style you're so cool😭)
♥︎𝄞 ⠳⣄⣀⣠⠞ thank you so much !! oh my godd i love that!! the industry has so much potential to be bigger. as someone who mourns the prime bollywood era, i have scripted for all realities that the south asian film/drama industry is so much better ( please note that i don't and have never lived in pakistan so i apologise if some thing i say aren't accurate Xx )
ᐧ.˳˳.⋅ ି pakistani entertainment industry: things to script
ꜝ░ ❀ okay so i scripted that the pakistani entertainment industry is very successful and known globally ; the media is never confined to just local audience and have reached people from all different countries. despite them being global, they are never whitewashed, and always keep the culture which international fans love
ꜝ░ ❀ people make actual entertaining media and don't just rinse the same plots again and again ( if you've watched pakistani dramas, you would know what i mean. ) no slop, just actual good storytelling. authenticity, emotional depth is encouraged
ꜝ░ ❀ there are a diverse of different genres that are accepted ( think similar to hollywood/kdramas/bollywood how there are lots of different types ). some examples of genres you might want to be in are crime, horror, fantasy, coming of age, thrillers, action, indie.
ꜝ░ ❀ there are a variety of good actors. pakistan actually value arts and encourage people to pursuit in acting ( for both men and women equally ). no nepo babies either, just people with a pure love for cinema and actual talent. no actors and actresses will face colourism. foreign actors and actresses are welcome in the industry & they get treated equally. there are plenty of actors of all ages & generations.
ꜝ░ ❀ not only would they have good actors but also very talented filmmakers ( directors, writers etc. ). these filmmakers are recognised globally (e.g in the oscars ). production teams also invest more in set design, wardrobe, makeup, and lighting.
ꜝ░ ❀ pakistani films/dramas have higher budgets and quality. this includes better cameras, colour grading, production design, editing, cinematography, vfx etc. they are just overall more cinematic. also script there are many good film schools in pakistan and people are encouraged to learn film theory at school.
ꜝ░ ❀ women have much stronger roles in film. characters that don't centre their entire life of getting married. characters with actual depth and development, that are their own people. there is no misogyny in the way people write female characters. also script there are many women in the writing rooms who know how to write women well and they also have equal opportunities to direct and be in the whole filmmaking process.
ꜝ░ ❀ the OST culture is kept the same. but maybe script that singers from all across pakistan/south asia get the opportunity to sing for them and it's never the same people over and over again. pakistani films have amazing soundtracks ( like how bollywood have )
ꜝ░ ❀ the industry is more organised & the entertainment industry is taken seriously in pakistan. people aren't discourage if they want to work in the industry, instead they are praised
ꜝ░ ❀ improved fan culture ; there are many fans from all over the world who engage in fan culture of certain dramas and actors. people make edits of you & your film, your films trend globally on social medias like tiktok which gain even more attraction for wider audiences. ( idk if this is niche but that one korean fan account on twitter calling sajal ali unnie comes into my mind, something like that lmfao but this behaviour would be normalised in your dr )
ꜝ░ ❀ pakistan is less scrict with what they are allowed to show on screen. they value good storytelling more than anything. films with good messages don't get blacklisted. the industry is more progressive and less conservative ( just simply script out racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia etc. to avoid this problem )
ꜝ░ ❀ bigger celebrity culture. pakistani actors are increasingly invited to international events, panels, and collaborations ( e.g global interviews, fahsion shoots, panels fashion week ). this works vice versa as well where actors from other countries also come to pakistan to promote their films
ꜝ░ ❀ pakistani films and dramas are available on many popular streaming services ( like netflix, amazon prime, hulu etc. )
ꜝ░ ❀ the pakistani film and drama industry has been thriving for so many years. it is already a well established industry. there are many iconic actors from the past. the industry has only ever continued & improved, never collapsed, only grown & evolved.
ꜝ░ ❀ there are prestigious film award shows and festivals in pakistan
ꜝ░ ❀ pakistani films have always been globally respected with regular entries at cannes, venice, toronto, busan. they have awards for their cinematography, screen play, acting etc. there are many major film studios based in pakistan
these are all i can think of at the moment. since i have only vaguely scripted for it, i had to think of some stuff on the spot lol. but i hope it was helpful !!
